The best Spider-Man quotes of all time Marvel ComicsAs one of Marvel\u2019s most prominent superheroes, of course Spider-Man has some of the most quotable moments in comic book history. Spider-Man is probably the name most people think of when considering comic book quotes. \u201cWith great power\u201d is probably one of the most well-known and most often quoted of all time, after all. But there\u2019s a lot more to Spider-Man than just the one quote. In fact, with more than 60 years of stories, there are plenty of picks to choose from for the best quotes. It also helps that modern writers have demonstrated a real appreciation for the wall-crawler, resulting in some of the biggest moments and most memorable Spider-Man quotes in history. The best Spider-Man quotes in Marvel Comics There\u2019s more to Spider-Man than just great power and great responsibility, as highlighted by these best Spider-Man quotes of all time. \u201cShe completes me. So here\u2019s the thing, God\u2026 I know I complain a lot, and I know that you and me, we\u2019ve got issues, but right now, just for tonight\u2026 Thank you for her. Thank you.\u201d To kick things off, I wanted to highlight one of the more recently ignored aspects of Spider-Man, which is the long-standing marriage to Mary Jane Watson. This moment from Amazing Spider-Man #53, right in the thick of a particularly tense time in Peter\u2019s life, really drives home just how important that relationship was to the character, as well as to fans. The marriage between the two was a driving force for a lot of \u201880s and \u201890s Spider-Man stories, and the early 2000s saw the two go through more than their share of trials and tribulations. There\u2019s a reason fans still clamor to see these two reunite. \u201cI\u2019m not here to kill you. I am.\u201d In the shadow of the critically acclaimed Civil War, Spider-Man underwent an incredibly dark period. The events following the war saw him on the run with his family when a sniper\u2019s bullet struck Aunt May, leading to Peter dropping a lot of the humor and returning to his infamous black costume. Learning the sniper was hired by a then-incarcerated Kingpin, Spider-Man actually breaks into prison to make sure his family stays safe. What follows is a brutal, terrifying beatdown not by Spider-Man but by Peter Parker, as he breaks and threatens Kingpin in front of an audience of shocked inmates. \u201cYou\u2019ve got the costume. You\u2019ve got the power. You\u2019re Spider-Man. Act like it.\u201d Morlun remained a threat in Spider-Man stories for a long time, thanks to his role in the Spider-Verse. It\u2019s still his first appearance, though, where he\u2019s portrayed as the deadliest threat to a Spider-Man only recently thrust into a more mystic side of the Marvel U. Spidey spends most of Amazing Spider-Man #33 getting beaten up pretty bad and is even unable to run away from Morlun because he\u2019s so terrifyingly strong. But, in true Spidey fashion, his never-say-die attitude is on full display in this iconic moment. \u201cWhen I think of Spider-Man? I think, no matter what, he\u2019s never going to stop trying.\u201d There are a handful of writers who seem to really get Spider-Man, and Chip Zdarsky is one of them. His run on Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, brief though it was, highlighted a wholesome take on the character that focused on his humanity and hopefulness above all else. Spectacular Spider-Man #310 is told through talking head segments being filmed for a documentary about Spider-Man. Peter\u2019s final words are a little self-congratulating, but they\u2019re perfect in the context of the rest of the issue, where Spidey is shown being just as important punching thugs as he is helping a school kid with his math homework. \u201cSo I see you\u2019ve started dating again.\u201d It wouldn\u2019t be a list of Spider-Man quotes without highlighting his legendarily awful sense of humor. In canon, the humor is meant to distract opponents and alleviate his own fear of leaping into danger. It gets him into trouble more often than it helps, though. Easily the most memorable is this exchange with The Punisher, who had recently taken on a protege in the form of Rachel Cole-Alves. \u201cI\u2019ll keep on coming back\u2026keep fighting\u2026until I find a way to beat you! To win! I won\u2019t give up, you hear? I won\u2019t!\u201d Did you know Spider-Man once managed to bear the X-Men in a fight? Spidey is actually regarded as one of Marvel\u2019s strongest heroes, pound for pound, and has the potential to possibly be its strongest if he were ever able to receive proper training. Every so often, a story happens where Spidey gets to show this off. One of the most impressive might just be Amazing Spider-Man #270, where he goes into a frenzy and accidentally takes down Firelord, who at the time was a herald of Galactus. \u201cWith great power, there must also come great responsibility.\u201d Maybe this one doesn\u2019t really count for some people as a Spider-Man quote. After all, the source is Peter\u2019s Uncle Ben, and the quote itself is always attributed to him. But you can\u2019t deny that Spider-Man hasn\u2019t made it his own. It\u2019s not just a rallying cry, either, it\u2019s a mission statement. We\u2019ve seen him turn this harsh life lesson into a moment of wholesome mentoring for those closest to him, like helping Miles acclimate to life in the 616 Universe or this moment where he inspired the X-Man Hope during Avengers vs X-Men. \u201cMy name is Peter Parker, and I\u2019ve been Spider-Man since I was fifteen years old. Any questions?\u201d The highlight of Civil War, hands down, was the shocking moment when Peter Parker unmasked himself. It\u2019s meant to inspire support for the Superhero Registration Act, but the ramifications are so much worse than anyone could have guessed. Friends and family turn their back on Peter, while May and Mary Jane are perpetually in danger. But that singular moment of an unmasked Peter, standing before a throng of reporters and identifying himself, is one that sticks with you, even some 15 years later. There are a lot of things fans want to forget about Civil War, but this pivotal moment isn\u2019t one of them. \u201cExcept the dignity of knowing I never carried a man-purse.\u201d Otto Octavius becoming Superior Spider-Man by taking over Peter\u2019s body was a shocking twist, but in the back of their heads, fans always knew somehow, someway, Peter would eventually return. And it would have to be a huge moment when it happened, something grand that would let readers know the real deal was back. It turns out it didn\u2019t have to be huge. Dan Slott wrote a perfect, unforgettable moment in history. How does Peter Parker let the world know the original Spider-Man back? By being so immediately annoying that no one could ever deny he\u2019s the original article. \u201cI\u2019m begging you now, Jonah, to look past the mask and see the man.\u201d Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man featured a wild moment wherein Spider-Man actually unmasks himself to Jonah. It\u2019s a show of faith to someone whom he realizes he has absolutely misunderstood, hoping to sway Jonah to understand him better. It\u2019s a heartfelt moment that is sure to leave an impression, but the most remarkable thing is the moment has stuck. Sure, they have a strained (at best) relationship, but this unmasking did actually get Jonah on Spider-Man\u2019s side, although his bitter side still tends to show.
