1. Spider-Man (Amazing Fantasy – issue #15)

Last and certainly not least,  everybody’s favorite neighborhood Spider-Man.  First appearing in 1962, Spider-Man is relatively unique to this list in that his overall origin story hasn’t really changed.  Peter Parker, the ordinary teen bit by a radioactive spider and then later woo-ed by Kirsten Dunst.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
