crime and preserving the global and national security in some comics.
Their characters were double agents fighting against the Red Skull who eventually murdered
them in a plane crash.

Members of the X-Men were genetically mutated from birth because they had the X-gene. On
the other hand, Spider-Man was genetically altered during his teens, by the venom of a
radioactive spider.
Since he was bitten by a spider and his DNA changed, he was described as a mutate because he
experienced an abnormal mutation from a foreign source.

He wore web-shooters

Contrary to popular belief that Spiderman produces his web from his body, the traditional one
did not have this ability. Since he was a science prodigy, he designed web-shooters that could
produce webs as strong as a spider’s.
Other versions of Spider-Man in alternate universes could produce webs from their body, but the
web slinger in the main movies used web-shooters.

Nature of webs

When Spider-Man initially developed the formula for the webs, it was seen around the city for
days and the city cleaners had a hard time removing them. This prompted Spider-Man to modify
the formula for his subsequent webs. The new modification made them disintegrate naturally
after an hour.
The webs are creatively developed to show the public that the scientist in him was concerned
about the welfare of the inhabitants of the city, as much as his alter-ego. As biodegradable as the
webs are, they also have impressive strength that allowed Spiderman to hold the Hulk in some
comics.
