#Spidey is entirely self made and a world genius who built everything he uses FROM SCRATCH

[phoenixcatch7]

I like googling things and getting uppity about them so have some more superhero I Did Not Expect That Timeline:

Iron man: debuted in 1963

Spiderman: debuted 1962

Captain America: 1942

Like cap was made during ww2, we been knew, but these are the big 3 of Marvel and it's bonkers to think there's a full TWO DECADES between him and Spidey. And iron man!!! Came AFTER SPIDERMAN!!

Never in a million years would I have guessed that. Spidey's legacy is older than Tony Starks, if only by a year. Bonkers.

Spidey was the first child hero, one who wasn't a sidekick (did you know Bucky was originally a teen sidekick?? Winter Soldier?!)

On the dc side of things Superman enters the scene in 1938, Captain Marvel in 1939, and Robin becomes the first child sidekick all the way in 1940. That's still - crazy, Robin is older than cap America by a good two years.

#Still stuck on the 'Spidey was here before iron man' thing #Especially since mcu completely revamped his personality to make him idolise and rely on Tony #Spidey is entirely self made and a world genius who built everything he uses FROM SCRATCH #Mcu made it so he'll never be Tony's equal and it's really annoying but I love him anyway #Also Ned and Michelle instead of Harry and Mary Jane and no photography but it's FINE >:( #What can I say I'm a huge Spidey fan and Tom did a great job with him but he needs to sass people more often XD #spiderman #iron man #captain america #peter parker #tony stark #steve rogers
