Spider-Man is an incredible hero. Here are 5 things you don't know about him:

1. His parents saved Wolverine

As we know, Richard and Mary Parker disappeared after entrusting young Peter to Aunt May and Uncle Ben. They're both S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, tracking Hydra's Red Skull (seen in Captain America: First Avenger) as double agents. On a mission in Canada, Richard and Mary Parker must investigate Baroness Adelicia Von Krupp and Strucker, who are holding Logan (Wolverine) prisoner for the Weapon X project (modifying men and mutants to turn them into perfect soldiers).

The Parker parents rescue Logan, while Mary is pregnant with Peter's child. Peter discovers the truth about his parents (double agents) in 1968 in the comic book The Parents of Peter Parker, when he asks the Fantastic Four for help.

2. He transformed himself into a giant spider

Heroes often get tired of saving the world. After losing Gwen and exposing his loved ones to danger by revealing his true identity, Peter concocts a serum designed to suppress his powers. But the opposite happens, and Spidey finds himself with four extra arms. He transforms into a giant spider but regains his normal appearance thanks to Curt Connors, alias the Lizard.

3. He was a teacher at X-Men Manor.

After Wolverine's death, Spidey joins the mutant school. He teaches the young X-Men about superhero ethics, but also shares his experience with his students.

4. He had children with Mary-Jane

Like other Marvel heroes, Spider-Man has had adventures in parallel universes. In one of them, he became the father of May Parker (Mayday) and Benjamin Richard Parker (Benjy), with Mary-Jane. Both children are named after Aunt May and Uncle Ben. May later became Spider-Girl and a comic-book heroine. She has "spider-sense like her father" and superhuman strength. "Benjy, on the other hand, can produce his own spider web, unlike his father and sister.

5. He's Stan Lee's favorite hero

Stan Lee is the father of many Marvel heroes. But of them all, he likes Spider-Man best. In a 2012 interview for Parade Magazine, Stan Lee confided that Spider-Man is "The most beloved hero in the world, and that makes me very happy."
