Speaking to MTV, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2″ director Marc Webb discussed Spider-Man’s superpowers and what sets him apart from other superheroes.”He obviously has great strength,” said Webb. “But what’s really great about Spider-Man are a few things that make him different from other superheroes…There’s an emotional component to the superhero. It’s not even super-heroism. It’s something we all can have, something we all have the capacity to have.””Superman and Thor have great strength and they use that to great effect,” he said. “But Spider-Man saves people.”It sounds like Webb has seen Superman’s latest cinematic outing, “Man of Steel,” which drew a lot of criticism for its wanton destruction, especially since Superman showed very little concern for bystanders potentially put in danger during his battle with Zod.In “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” Peter Parker runs the gauntlet as the mysterious company Oscorp sends up a slew of supervillains against him, impacting on his life.”The Amazing Spider-Man 2″ comes to theaters May 2, 2014.
