Spider-Man is one of the most popular fictional characters on the planet and perhaps the most recognizable superhero in the West. Thus, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios have gone to great lengths to make his film outings astounding. This effort has created amazing movies and, within them, incredibly memorable fight sequences. Spidey has a badass villain catalog, so going up against them has led to action that is unforgettable.
Whether he's played by , two-time Oscar nominee , , or one of the many animated film actors, the Friendly Neighborhood been through some wonderful battles. can be defined as being entertaining, creative, with high stakes, great choreography, and an emotionally compelling angle.

The first big fight that takes place in is one for the books. From the very beginning, the Spider-Man () of Earth 1610B is depicted as what the hero would look like at the peak of his career. So, when Miles Morales () stumbles across a fight between him and the Green Goblin () and eventually Prowler (), it's incredibly exciting.
Going up against such a gigantic and monstrous Goblin, with the addition of the cunning and skilled Prowler, makes Peter look super proficient as a hero. While he may meet his end at the climax of the fight, he manages to multitask from going off.

Peter came with the intent to kill, and it shows in his visceral and relentless attacks. and eventually drowning him, Spider-Man is a terrifying figure in this fight.
