Spider-Man remains one of the world's most popular superheroes. Here's what makes him a fan favorite
(CNN) - April 28 marks National Superhero Day -- and what's a better way to observe the occasion than to celebrate the world's most popular super hero?
If you go by at least one analysis of the past year's Google search data. that hero is Spider-Man. According to online entertainment retailer Zavvi, the web slinger is the world's most popular superhero with more than 5 million average searches per month.
But how has he earned that coveted spot in a heavily saturated market ?
Taking to CNN, writer-performer and comic fan Reece Connolly describes Spider Man -- his favorite superhero -- as "a hero in its simplest form of just using what he has been given to help people."
"He's normal. He's a young guy whose silliness and awkwardness make him one of the most relatable superhero to exist. He Isn't anything special, he's just normal."
Connolly says that unlike batman, his second favorite superhero, Spider-Man doesn't have "billions of dollars in the bank. He's just more relatable than a billionaire who lives in a mansion on his own."
