Spiderman vs. Superman

Do you have a favorite super hero?  I do, it’s Spiderman.  I will be comparing Spiderman with Superman today.  Don’t read this if you can’t handle the blunt truth about Superman.
    Now here is a little background on Spiderman, also known as Peter Parker.  Peter had just been a very ordinary plain guy.  One day Peter was at place full of spiders.  One of the spiders had gotten loose and it bite him.  He didn’t think much of it until slowly he found out what was happening to him, Peter began to get spider powers!  He had actually been bitten by a radioactive spider!  He could shoot web out and swing from place to place with it, he can also climb walls.  Peter wanted to use his powers to help the city so he made himself a suit and is known as Spiderman.
    Superman was born on the planet Krypton.  His parents also had super powers, and he was just born with them.  They named him Kal-El, but when he came to earth and was adopted his name changed to Clark Kent.  Some of his powers include super strength, flying and X-ray vision.  He also uses his powers for good.
    At the same time some similarities of the two amazing superhero’s would be that they are both trying to help to keep people safe.  The people rely on them to be there and save the day.  Both of them are very famous and also great role models.  Every kid wants to be like their favorite super hero.  They buy their costumes for Halloween, carry around their superhero backs, and wear t-shirts with Superman or Spiderman on them.  Also Spiderman and Superman have their own movies.  They also have some cartoons for all the children that adore them.
    A difference between these two superhero’s would be how they had gotten their powers, which I had explained earlier.  Other things could include their appearance.  Superman is totally buff looking and also has no mask.  He also wears a cape, while Spiderman does not wear a cape.  Wearing a cape is probably a bad thing anyways, because it can get caught on something or catch on fire!  On the other hand Spiderman is not all that strong looking and he wears a mask over his face so nobody really knows who he truly is.  I think, in my opinion, he does that so he doesn’t get all this fame and attention that he doesn’t really need or want.  Superman is all cocky and wants attention.  He is not humble like Spiderman.  He wants people to notice him and think that he is all that, which personally I don’t think he is.  Superman flies around like he is all that which I think I could take him down easily:). 
    Now after this amazing compare and contrast I want to persuade you to be a Spiderman fan.  He is just an all around great person.  Spiderman is great with kids; they all love him.  Ask any kid that has met him and you will get an amazing story.
    Superman is just so over done.  He is really just like a stereotype.  I bet he doesn’t even really care about the kids that look up to him!  Spiderman has to go to all the kids mean old Superman is a jerk to and help them through their Superman depression!
    I hope you found this paper helpful.  I am sorry to all the Superman fans out there, but really this is the truth.  Come to team Spiderman and you will live a happier life.  You will know the true meaning of what superhero role model truly is.
