Spider-man might be one of Marvel’s most recognizable characters but he’s had a long road towards getting into the live action game. But once it had cleared that hurdle Sony has put the foot down on the gas when it comes to making the most of its license for Spider-man and Spider-man related characters. One thing that Sony doesn’t have is a lot of patience and its rush to get to the end has ended their ambitions faster than anything else. Avi Arad’s need to have Venom show up in the already planned Spider-man 3 muddled up what would have otherwise been a very Spider-man like story of redemption and forgiveness. The need to get to the Sinister Six as fast as possible also meant that in only two entries the Amazing Spider-man franchise with Andrew Garfield donning the body suit meant that the series became crowded and lost its way two movies in, a sad outcome for Garfield but an unexpected gift to Marvel fans as it led to the unprecedented deal between Sony and Disney that allowed Spider-man to join the rest of his Marvel colleagues in the MCU. He was even able to garner multiple Avenger mentors even if he doesn’t always listen to them. But before there was Holland or Garfield or even Macguire, there were small screen heroes in Shinji Todo as the giant robot piloting Japanese Spider-man and Tom Holland as the first of the live action wall crawlers wasting his talents on regular unenhanced bad guys and never a nice moral dilemma for him to solve. So of all the live action actors to slip into the body suit and portray the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man, who played the strongest version? Is a giant robot enough to tip the scales? Tencho enhanced suit? Just plain old heroics? How would you rank the Spider-man actors by power?
