    I think relatable is the key word. And yes, he's the best Marvel character.

    My favorite Marvel character is Cyclops, but Spider-Man is a close second.

    Yes. He's funny, likable, has a cool costume, interesting supporting cast, and unique powers. He's easily the best character in Marvel imo.

    not anymore, at one point I adored/idolized Pete. He has, however, devolved into a pathetic manchild while I continue to become more mature :/

    I still read Romita era up through the early 90s spidey for my Pete fix though

    Same here. Well, Nightcrawler and Colossus are also on par with Peter.

    He's definitely a cool character, but not sure if he's Marvel's best.

    I really like him, but to me the best Marvel character is the Thing.

    I thought he was the best character from the 60's to 2006. The 90's were bad, but they were bad for all of Marvel. Then he became an annoying man-child. Peter had a lot of lousy luck, but he was never a loser. The fact that he had so much horrible stuff going on in his life and he was able to retain his honor throughout made him great. I can't say that anymore about him. He's now a clown. I've enjoyed some recent stuff, but it's not the Peter I know at all.

    Daredevil is my favorite Marvel character though, but I don't like a lot of the authors who've written him. I only really like the Frank Miller, Brian Michael Bendis, and Ed Brubaker runs.
