10 Reasons Why Spider-Man Is Marvel's Greatest Superhero
2. His Intelligence
Spider-Man isn't as powerful as a lot of other heroes. He's fast, but he's no Quicksilver. He's strong, but he's no Thor. What sets him apart from the others is his intelligence.
Spider-Man has a very solid claim to being one of the smartest heroes out there. It's easy to forget given his sense of humour, but the guy has an IQ of 250, and he's smart enough that his tech start-up made him a millionaire. He also designs his own gadgets, whether it's the famous web shooters or the ability to actually turn off gravity.
Spider-Man also thinks quickly. He's in an arms race against his smarter foes, who are always upgrading their own arsenals. He's smart enough to find their weaknesses and exploit them, and if they're too powerful he's smart enough to figure out why, coming up with a new gadget or upgrade that will turn the tides in his favour, or even come up with a new strategy on the fly.
