7) No One Dies
One of the greatest traits of Spider-Man’s character is, in fact, the person he was raised to be before he became super-powered. The famous line, “with great power comes great responsibility,” was told to him by his Uncle Ben to ensure Peter always knew that all people are charged with the responsibility of helping others whenever they could.
In a relatively recent comic story, Peter takes this responsibility even further and makes the pledge to himself that – wherever he can have influence – no one around him will die. This vow still stands in Peter’s mind even today (despite a few unforeseen wobbles) and covers friend and foe alike, such is Parker’s belief that no one truly deserves to suffer that ultimate fate.
This story represents the perfect opportunity to immediately re-stamp what it means to be Spider-Man into a new movie series, and further cement the character as one of our greatest comic book heroes.
