You know those spinning newspaper front pages that've been in movies and on TV for like forever? They've been a sci-fi staple as...

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new Spider-Man. Ultimate Fallout #4 will drop tomorrow, but Marvel has already spilled the beans on the latest dude to spin a web, any size, and we've got the scoop on who he is.

We never get to see the difficulties of the day-to-day activities for those endowed with superpowers. For instance, we don't learn how Magneto probably gets a violent shock every time he washes his hands, or how Poison Ivy has to stay constantly hopped-up on allergy medication.

In superhero movies, supporting characters often get overlooked or given short shrift. For instance, there were a couple of times during the Schumacher/Burton era when Jim Gordon only appeared on screen for a few minutes and appeared to be a largely ineffective bureaucrat. But fans of the comic book incarnation knew better, and were not at all surprised when he was shown to be a formidable person in the own right in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight.
