Quote: Chant said: I know as a Marvel flagship character Spiderman holds great importance to Marvel and many readers, but in the general Marvel Universe there are other heroes with greater importance than him.
That's an interesting point.
For pretty much his entire history, Spidey has been perceived by the general public, or a large chunk of it, as a "masked menace." In fact, there have always been rumors that he was somehow responsible for the death of Capt. Stacy, and others.
Why would someone want his endorsement? It would be almost like have having OJ Simpson, or some other highly controversial figure, endorsing your political platform.
