It takes something really special to stick in my mind. I still remember the time when I moved to England from Hong Kong when I was 7 years old and I just remember that vaguely but the earliest memory I had was something that happened when I was 3 years old. The year was 1998, I was just three years old. I would wake up every morning at about 7 o'clock in the morning and annoy my mother until she swtiches on the TV for me. The animated series of Spider-Man would broadcast in Hong Kong every Saturday morning and I would always be there. I think for me. Spider-Man was my first ever obsession but as I grew up, I was interested in a number of things, Power Rangers, Digimon, and Pokemon but none of them could compare to my love for Spider-Man.
 
I love his comic books, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. What makes him so great is that against the odds, he still manages to pull off an almost unlikable character. If I have never seen Spider-Man, I would have never wanted to read his stuff because I hate spiders. Without him, half of the Marvel Universe would be gone. If it was not for his characters, Marvel would have never had so much success or so many other great characters or storylines that spawned off the orginal characters. Without Spider-Man would there be Venom? Without the Fantastic Four, would there be Secret Invasion? Without him, I guess I wouldn't be here writing about him. Just imagine, if Stan Lee was not here, some other comic book writers could have invented some super lame characters: Eyebrows-Man? The Superior Shoe? We will never know (and personally, I don't want to know.) If it was not for his charisma in the 60s, comics would not be the same as it is today. Stan Lee shaped and sculped Marvel. He did everything from writing all the main Marvel series to moderating the letters page, to me, Stan Lee is a living legend.
 
Not only do I thank him for getting me into comic books but I he also changed my life personally as well. I think one of the reasons I want to become a doctor is to help people, to save lives and use my knowledge to help people. His comic books taught me a number of things like never giving up. It might sound silly to other people but I live my life by my comic books. I use his character's way of thinking in life. People often ask me if I believe that Spider-Man actually exists and I tell them "Yes" they laugh at me but he does exist. Maybe not in real life but he exists in my mind. He is my motivation behind the things I do and the choices I make. Whenever I see someone that needs help, I try to help them as much as I can. I live my life by this rule: With great power, comes great responsibility... I know I don't have the proportionate speed and strength of a spider or three adamantium blades coming out from my hands but I still have the choice to help. Without him, I wouldn't have great friends who I talk about comics with and most importantly, there wouldn't be the life that I'm living today and to me, it is perfect! 

It's been confirmed, the title for the musical is Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark and the song will be written and performed by U2 members Bono and the Edge. It's going to premiere in February next year and I can't wait, hopefully, it's gonna be on DVD or on the internet because I both love Spider-Man and U2.

"Spider-Man's battles will hurtle the audience through an original story both recognizable and unexpected -- yielding new characters as well as familiar faces -- until a final surprising confrontation casts a startling new light on this hero's journey,"       -- Musical's producer

I can't wait for this!!!
