Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, which he could have prevented, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became the Amazing Spider-Man!

So I was reading through early issues of The Amazing Spider-Man, and I noticed that in one issue (19) there is mention of asbestos treatment on the webbing to fireproof it. That can't be healthy for Spidey or his enemies, lol.

((Sorry if this is in the wrong forum or insufficient for a topic, never really been to the forums before.))
