  SPIDER-MAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a teenager who gains superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. His powers include enhanced strength, speed, agility, and a precognitive “spider-sense”. He uses self-designed wrist-mounted web shooters. Initially using his powers for personal gain, Peter embraces heroism after his Uncle Ben's death, learning, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Spider-Man is unique for his teenage perspective, lacking a mentor, and dealing with relatable issues such as rejection and financial struggles. His popularity led to multiple comic series, and he has become a cultural icon appearing in numerous media. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Spider-Man's first appearance was in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962, and the comic was originally intended to be the last issue of the series. The editorial page of that issue, however, anticipated that Spider-Man would be a continuing feature in future issues, even though that was not originally the plan.  
    
  Stan Lee said that the idea for Spider-Man came from seeing a spider climb a wall, but in his autobiography, he admits he's told the story so often that he is unsure if it is true. The pulp magazine character, The Spider, also influenced the creation of Spider-Man, who like that character was wanted by the law and criminal underworld. 
    
  Although teenage superheroes at the time usually had names ending with "boy," Stan Lee chose the name "Spider-Man" because he wanted the character to age as the series progressed. He also added a hyphen to the name because it looked too similar to Superman.

  Cannabis and the Christian -...

  What does the Bible say about marijuana? If it doesn’t directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana?  In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “it’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God.   Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis.  In Cannabis and the Christian, Todd Miles gives listeners:  Biblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis  Biblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis  A grid to think through other ethical questions that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible  Confidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God
