20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Spider-Man

16. He Once Transformed Into A Spider

Spider-Man has undergone various transformations over the years. He even had six arms at one point! However, one of the most bizarre came when he literally became a giant spider. This was all part of a convoluted storyline which seemed to only exist to bring the comics and movies closer together, as the end result - when Peter "hatched" from the spider you see above - saw him given organic web shooters like the ones featured in Sam Raimi's movies. The new status quo lasted for a few years, but Spider-Man eventually went back to his original mechanical webshooters as part of a reboot of sorts in Brand New Day.
