Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man movie was a game-changer, raising the standards of superhero films in terms of verisimilitude and respect for the comic source material that’s matched by few movies, even today. While most Spider-Man adaptations retain the iconic mechanical web-shooters, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy opted to give its version of Peter Parker the power to generate webbing from his body, functioning almost identically to the comic iteration’s devices. Peter invented the device and fluid, using them for transportation and as his go-to non-lethal weapon against criminals, allowing him to entangle his foes without killing or injuring them. For most of Spider-Man’s nearly 60 years of existence in comic books and various adaptations, the iconic superhero used a pair of wrist-mounted devices that shoot a synthetic web-like fluid. Tobey Maguire’s iteration of Spider-Man was extremely accurate to the comic source material, but one of the few differences between the two was his version of Spider-Man's organic web-shooters.
