I started reading Spider-Man in the Kiddie Corner of the Main St Dillon's Grocery in Hutchinson in the 60's. My brother and I were crazy climbers and would play tag in a Sycamore tree. Our best escape was to climb out from the trunk to the end of branch and leap to a another branch out of reach of the tagger. My high school nickname, not really a compliment on my trim and lengthy physique, was "Spider Man". Regardless, I remained a fan of the comics and most of the movies. My criticism is the movies exaggerated his plausible venom-enhanced powers well beyond the comic figure to super human strength and invulnerability. I'm sorry but those qualities are reserved for yet another fellow Kansan, Superman!
