Tobey Maguire became a generation's ideal Peter Parker, despite being well into his 20s as he played the web-slinging teen. 2002's Spider-Man may not have debuted Peter on the big screen (that was 1977's made-for-TV movie Spider-Man) but its record-breaking box office success solidified it forever in the pop culture pantheon. Of course, Peter Parker's popularity pre-dates the live action movie boom-but we can't discount just how much of an impact his movies have had over the years. His story has been adapted over and over, his look is iconic, his powers are so deeply ingrained in pop culture they need no preamble or explanation-he's the poster boy for superhero comics, and likely always will be.
While the MCU era may have bolstered the popularity of dozens upon dozens of Marvel heroes over the years, Peter Parker sits pretty as the most famous of them all-and for good reason.
