    I don’t know why anyone would think it’s even close, as a franchise, Spider-Man has had more movies and spin-offs (see what I did there) than anything else. The only one that comes close is X-Men and box office there hasn’t been stellar.

      The movies aren’t the reason for Spiderman’s popularity, they are a result of it. Spiderman is omnipresent in “children culture” in a lot of countries worldwide. Growing up they will get to know that character even if they don’t consume any specific movie, show or comic.
