Spider-Man Monologues

After being bitten by a genetically-modified spider, a shy teenager gains spider-like abilities that he uses to fight injustice as a masked superhero and face a vengeful enemy.

Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man.

I said… uh… Spider-Man, I said uh… The great thing about MJ is… when you look in her eyes and she's looking back in yours… everything… feels… not quite normal. Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is… you don't know what you feel except you know what kind of man you want to be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable and you weren't ready for it."

Not everyone is meant to make a difference. But for me, the choice to lead an ordinary life is no longer an option.

Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale… if somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy, not a care in the world… somebody lied. But let me assure you: This, like any story worth telling, is all about a girl. That girl. The girl next door. Mary Jane Watson. The woman I've loved since before I even liked girls.

I'd like to say that's me sitting next to her.

Aw, heck, I'd even take him.

That's me.

Spider-Man wasn't trying to attack the city, he was trying to save it. That's slander.

I can't help thinking about... the last thing I said to him. He tried to tell me something important, and I threw it in his face.

I want you to know, that I will always be there for you; I will always be there to take care of you. I promise you that. I will always be your friend.

Sorry I'm late, it's a jungle out there; I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get these cranberries.

Who am I? Are you sure you want to know? If someone told you I was just your average ordinary guy without a care in the world, somebody lied. Truth is it wasn't always like this. There was a time when life was a lot less complicated.
