#1 Spider-Man Is No Longer An Outcast
While Peter Parker in the comic Amazing Fantasy #15 was described as a person having no friends and being the joke of other kids, Spider-Man in 2021 has a lot of friends. He even becomes roommates with one of his biggest bullies in flash Thompson.
#2 Spider-Man has changed from a teenager to a mentor.
When Spider-Man first started, he was just a boy not knowing what he was doing. He needed a lot of help, and then he was trained by Iron Man. But now, he has become a mentor. He is the oldest person in his group of friends having spider powers. He is appointed by Tony Stark to mentor a group of super-geniuses. It means he has changed from a boy to an adult, a responsible adult.
#3 His Aunt, May, Has Become Stronger
The 1962 comic said that Spider-Man was raised by his uncle Ben and his aunt May. After his uncle passed away, he always tried everything to help Aunt May, who, at that time, was very ill. Mabe, it is the Spider-Man’s love that helps his aunt improve her health. She is now running a homeless shelter and is much stronger than years before.
#4 Spider-Man Is Cursed
Mephisto has cursed Spider-Man and has always tried to ruin his life. This is the recent change that comes to his life. However, Spider-Man seems not to know about it until Dr-Strange realizes that the bad luck in his life wasn’t coincidental.
#5 Spider-Man’s Spider-Totem
If you still think that Spider-Man appeared after a spider bit Peter Parker and changed him from an awkward teenager to a superhero, we’re afraid that isn’t really what happened. Actually, there are spider-powered heroes in every universe and they are all connected through the spider-totem. Therefore, it wasn’t an accident that made Peter a Spider-Man. That was what happened as his fate.
