It's always been Spider-Man and by some margin. Why was this even a question?

Exactly! It’s the reason Sony only sought rights to Spider-Man and not the entirety of the Marvel catalog. Marvel offered them nearly the entire pie at the time.

Not only that, but when Marvel offered Sony the rest of the catalog, it was absurdly cheap. Something like, give us an extra 20 bucks (slight exaggeration) and you can have ALL our characters, and Sony was still like, nahh, just Spidey, thanks.

Spider-Man has always been a popular character. I grew up first knowing about him not even from comics, but from him on Electric Company (PBS show usually after Sesame Street for a bit older kids).

Born in the late 70s, I barely read comics (wanted to buy candy, regret that now comics seem way better) but I thought about it recently and my favorite Marvel character is Spider Man, he was a geeky kid who rises up when given the opportunity. He excels at school and does his best to make his neighborhood better. There are few supers who were popular that had so many cartoons and a cheesy live action 70s show, heh I remember renting them thinking it was movies in the 80s.
