    Spider-Man

    Character » Spider-Man appears in 17246 issues.

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

    I think Spider-Man and casts needs to move to another city

    It is obviously Avengers territory and Spider-Man the famous icon himself is always overlooked over them in pivotal moments in comic events and such you hardly notice he is there. As a series, New York is boring to tell a story in, it's too realistic to be a true comicbook adventure and to crowded with various heroes for a single hero like him and his villians to stand out. I feel if Spider-Man had his own gotham city or metropolis, he'd be capatilized more as a single act solo star in a world about him and not him sharing his fame with bigger a listers who unlike Spider-Man is making the whole city and universe about them while Peter is insignificant which contrasts his impact as the defacto main hero of not only his series but his iconic status.

    So yeah, his life needs to separate from New York and maybe make himself like Batman, a single hit without sharing with heroes taking his spotlight and degrading his own title with guest apperenances. Because Spider-Man should be integral in the marvel u without Captain America and the Avengers backing him up. I am actually glad he's going the Jean Grey school for a bit instead of being in predictable manhattan swinging to another repetitive story with his villains. At least go around the united states like Atlanta Georgia or Texas and see him stop crime there.

    If this was Superior Spider-Man, then I would have agreed with you about him relocating to Chicago or East Los Angelas.

    New York City (boroughs included) is as iconic to Spidey as Gotham is to Batman, but a change of scenery might be nice if the story permits.

    How about Chicago or even Toronto for about a year?

    Cool locations. Spidey on the trail of an international terrorist organization with links back to NYC. But Marvel are too politically correct to attempt good quality mature story-telling involving current worldwide affairs.

    The bonus of having a character set in an original city ala Gotham, Metropolis ect is that a good storyteller can turn the setting in to a character themselves and it entrenches you even more in to that world

    i think we should say the same thing about every heroes in new york city like the fantastic four, the new warriors, etc.

    infact, eversince avengers hitted in theaters all people kept asking is WHERE IS SPIDERMAN! WHY WASN'T HE WITH THE AVENGERS!?! dude, there's like a bajillion other heroes in new york city and the inhumans are sestablished as the mutants of the MCU. I think you should ask the same about them even in television which you've admitted watching like x-men and TSSM. also, it's an invasion. it's common for heroes to go through that

    That sounds like shield territory, and then you risk him taking a back seat to shield

    Not necessarily. Why does it sound like Shield territory? Why does it even have to involve Shield? I just simply see it as a (self-contained story arc) with good old fashioned crime-fighting. Links to NYC could just as easily involve the Kingpin or any other major villain.

    Spider-Man is certainly intelligent enough to tackle covert espionage operations with some gritty down to earth story telling. Mark Waid & James Robinson proved that with "Family Business".

    Toronto? While that would be...interesting, there's a variety of reasons that wouldn't work.

    You do know London isn't a country, right?

    Oh boy!!!

    Look, as a Brit I'd love Spiderman to come to London (its our capital for the geography deficient)...but c'mon, Spiderman was in New York before the Avengers...if anything they should move out and leave it to him!!

    @jimishim12: I would actually like that. It has actually worked so far with Matt Murdock, it would be interesting how Spidey would adapt to new settings outside of his comfort zone.
