Genetically Modified Organisms: With Great Power Comes... Minor Inconveniences...

Spider-Man made his debut almost 50 years ago - in August 1962. Back then, Peter Parker was a highschool student - much like in the movies with Tobey Maguire. Unlike other teen superheroes at the time - including Robin of “Batman” - he was not a mere sidekick of an adult, but an independent character. Uncle Ben could be considered a mentor of sort. However, the famous quote “With great power comes great responsibility” was first spoken by Peter and only later attributed to his uncle.
