      1. As a parent of three kids who love super-heroes I'm all for tact in keeping Spider-Man all ages. Romance yes, by all ages romance! But there's a paradox here because of the very outre sexuality that went into Spider-Man's creation.https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1471616385268785160 …

      "I don't think it's appropriate for the Spider-Man franchise... [No Way Home] is a film about celebrating friendships and young love... No one wants to see Peter Parker having sex! That would be horrible." - Tom Holland on the possibility of Spider-Man having a sex scene. pic.twitter.com/HzG6ltCy1V

      2. Between 1958 and 1968, Steve Ditko, Spider-Man's primary creator, shared a studio with Eric Stanton, an artist who specialized in fetish art for, um, discriminating collectors. The two men would assist each other on art. Spider-Man was created in 1962, in the midst of this.

      3. Ur-Spider-Man was brought to Marvel in 1962 by Jack Kirby (who already created insect heroes like Ant Man & The Fly). Ditko tasked with doing character and substantially reinvented, especially costume & origins.

      4. In reimagining Spider-Man, Ditko used a costume owed something to a bondage story he and Stanton did in 1960 ("Black Widow Sorority" included in Diabolique Magazine #3 (1960)pic.twitter.com/PigYpCSOFe

      5. Ditko was a Randian libertarian. Intensely private, not much is known about his personal life, but his art certainly -- coupled with his friendship with Stanton -- shows a familiarity with the sexual underworld of 1960s New York. His characters had an East Village style.pic.twitter.com/bXkNGg6nvw
