I have not read what all of the previous 1074 pages have stated, but I skimmed through the first few, and though I would disprove one point that MilkDrinker said...
• Why you cannot use a comic book to prove Spiderman's existence
The claim here is that the comic book (The Amazing Spider-Man) proves that Spiderman exists. This argument makes the fallacy of begging the question (or circular reasoning). When the argument is set out clearly this becomes obvious:
How do we know Spiderman exists?
Spiderman exists because the comic book says so.
Why should we believe the comic book?
Because the comic book is the canon history of Spiderman.
How do we know Spiderman exists?
Spiderman exists because the comic book says so.
Why should we believe the comic book?
Because the comic book is the canon history of Spiderman.
How do we know Spiderman exists?
(etc, ad infinitum.)
You cannot use the conclusion you are trying to prove (that Spiderman exists) as one of your premises. The premise “the comic book is the official canon of Spiderman” already assumes the truth of the conclusion.
Well, I can tell you that the comic book is an actually a book containing the history of Spiderman and New York City, many of the events that occurred were actually proved to have happened, this includes fighting the green goblin and such (are you going to try and prove that science does not work or exist either? Explain Doctor Octopus). And it tells the fact that a man named Peter Parker was born to the earth, bitten by a radioactive spider, and said that he was Spiderman. All the people that described the superpowers of Spiderman could not have all made it up. Therefore if it were true, then Spiderman must exist as the amazing wall crawler.
My final point is that MilkDrinker has chosen the weakest arguement they could find to try and prove his point. I believe that there is a Peter Parker, and he as Spiderman came and protected New York City, but thats my beliefs, you are not obliged to believe in anything... BUT, just as I have faith that there is a Spiderman, many of you must have faith that your judgement is correct... but where is your proof that there is not Spiderman...

It is the story of a Spiderman... it is not comical, just a nice short song.
