If not used wisely, it might well as be useless. Responsibility comes with merely growing up every much as it comes with being handed unimaginable powers. Before he barely gets off the ground, however, Peter comes crashing back to earth with the realization that growing up is not exactly the fantasy it seems when you are young. Peter as Spidey is at first overcome by the manic emotional highs that arrives with the freedom of maturity and adulthood. That is not quite as poetic as the movie’s famous adage about power, but it is every bit as true. It is the symbol of freedom that adulthood always implies. All those hopeful desires of “growing up” come to live as he slings that web in flight from one building to the next. The moment that Peter slides into that unforgivably form-fitting Spider-Man costume is the symbolic ending of his adolescence and transformation into adulthood. That includes all the positive as well as negative aspects. Taking on the persona of a superhero Spiderman thus becomes in one respect a metaphor for growing up. Peter is a kid a smart high school student, to be sure, but a kid nonetheless. Peter Parker differs from almost every superhero who preceded him and a great many of those who came afterward primarily by virtue of one respect: he’s a nerdy, goofy, not-entirely-mature teenager.
