The Many Lives of Spider-Man [infographic]

One of the main reasons some people find it difficult to get into comics is that is is hard to follow all of the different story lines. This certainly holds true for the character of Spider-Man. Since his creation in 1962, Spider-Man has been reinvented several different times and had his story slightly altered each time. Whether it was a change in his age, his parents' story, or his abilities, there was always something slightly different in each incarnation of the character. To simplify things a little bit Buzzfeed has created this great infographic that breaks down several different storylines and signifies what the changes were. At first glance it may seem overwhelming but just choose a Spider-Man along the outside of the infographic and follow the colored lines to see the specific story element that belongs to him. This is very well done! I'm just surprised to not see the 1994 FOX series Spidey on here.
