10 Awesome Comic Book Movie Moments When Characters Received Power-Ups

6. Black Spider-Man

Spider-Man 3 was not the greatest Spider-Man film of all time; it had far too many villains with far too little development, making it an action packed bonanza with a very weak narrative. However, despite these weaknesses, Sam Raimi€™s final instalment of his Spider-Man trilogy treated us to Black Spider-Man. The titular character was enhanced in aggression, physical strength and speed through the symbiote€™s parasitic bond with Peter Parker. Spider-Man was already pretty powerful, as we saw in the first two films, but Black Spider-Man enhanced these powers with a ferocity that is unrivalled in Spider-Man€™s universe. This boost to Spidey€™s powers also gave him one of his greatest foes-Venom. The powers Venom possessed were drawn from Spider-Man, and the way in which Spider-Man had to struggle to fight this equally matched nemesis illustrates the extent to which the symbiote enhanced his powers; Eddie Brock would have been an easy victim had he not been latched onto by the symbiote, and with this power-up he went on to arguably become the greatest villain of the trilogy. It€™s rare to find a Spider-Man 3 character being spoken of positively, but the depiction of Black Spider-Man was generally good; Peter Parker€™s bizarre dancing and creepy antics through New York are something else. Normal Spider-Man was notably weaker than his darker counterpart, showing that this power-up truly impacted Spider-Man in an important way.
