Spider-Man is considered one of the greatest comic book characters of all-time, and it's not really all that hard to understand why. Peter Parker has remained a constant for Marvel over the years, and while there have certainly been some dark periods for the character in terms of the stories being told, it's hard to find a fan who doesn't love the wall-crawler. Spider-Man's big screen debut in 2002 was nothing short of groundbreaking, and Spider-Man 2 is still considered one of the greatest superhero movies of all-time. Spider-Man 3 not so much, while the rebooted The Amazing Spider-Man franchise appears to have stopped his momentum dead thanks to some terrible decisions behind the scenes. Going back to the comic books though, and Spidey's history is as fascinating as you might expect for a character who has been around for over 50 years now. Along the way, there has been a lot of weird and unexpected moments in the life of Peter Parker, with some massive reveals and twists which not even the most die-hard Spider-Man fan may know. Coming up you'll find twenty of the weirdest and most mind-blowing facts about Spider-Man. Just don't get your hopes up that you'll see any of these brought to the big screen anytime soon...
