Spider-Man's 14 Most Awkward and Weird Moments

When Stan Lee and Steve Ditko cooked up Spider-Man in the 60's there's no way they could have known what they were unleashing upon the world. Jillions of comic books, multitudes of cartoons and a recent movie where three different actors played Spidey, and it actually worked. Not bad, not bad at all.

That being said, even the greatest creations have their moments. And we're talking about the kind of moments that aren't memorable in the way they were intended to be. No, no, we're talking about the moments that make their way into internet features like this so you can enjoy a laugh or two or arch your eyebrows at the ridiculousness.

So, yeah - Spider-Man’s been through some stuff. In the movies he’s been to space, fought the Vulture, met himself, and all of that is not even close to all of what he’s done in the comics. Here are 14 moments of Spidey at his, ahem, best.
