    I had no fun playing as him. He seemed like a wimp, and I preferred to whip out some Uzis as Deadpool and blast some fools in the face.

    Spider-man is just about the most popular character in the Marvel universe, he is easy to relate to and his movies bring in mad money.

    Because putting Armless Tigerman on the front is not commercially wise.

    He's the most well-known character and people who isn't familiar or don't care about others might buy the game just for the fact that he is in it.

    He is the face of marvel comics. People identify Spiderman with marvel, like people who identify Batman or Superman with DC....probly moreso with Batman. You get the point.

    If you haven't noticed, Spider Man is the most recognized and popular Marvel Superhero in the world. That's why he is on the cover.

    Spider-Man was a character who got off to a slow start in Ultimate Alliance. But at higher levels, he's definitely a force to be reckoned with.

    Because Spider-Man is a major player in the Civil War series with conflicting loyalties to both Cap' and Iron Man.

    Huge movie franchise.
    Amazing Spiderman ships 3 times a month with 3 different (meh) writers on it and Ultimate Spidey is a non-continuety spiderman story so thats 4 times a month.
    Was on both sides of Civil War.
    Kid+Teenager friendly. Tony is a alchoholic and Cap is punched hitler. Not that kid friendly.
    FUCKING MARVEL POSTER BOY. WHEN YOU THINK MARVEL YOU THINK SPIDERMAN. DUH.

    His movies made the most money. This isn't rocket science, they decide this shit in corporate synergy meetings.

    Because he is a huge success, but his movies were just a bomb and personally wasn't worth the watch.

    most recognizable. If he weren't it would probably be Wolverine and after that maybe Iron Man.
