Origin and licence lore

Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, he first appeared in 1962 in Amazing Fantasy #15.

Behind the mask lies Peter Parker, a young man who gains superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. In particular, he acquires exceptional strength and agility, the ability to cling to surfaces, and a sense of danger known as Spider-Sense.

Following the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter realises that with great power comes great responsibility. This idea becomes the central theme of his journey as a hero.

Throughout the comics, films, TV series and video games, Spider-Man faces numerous iconic enemies, such as the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom and the Lizard. This draughts game brings this popular universe to life in a classic, simple and accessible game format.
