Spider-Man trivia
 
Note:  In this quiz, “Spider-Man” refers to both the Peter Parker and Ben Reilly versions, but only from the Marvel Universe (not the TV Universe or the Manga Universe). Also, because I do not wish to waste time with added words, “villain”, or other such words are not gender-specific.  The answers are listed (along with the questions) below the set of questions.  I provide the answers after each quiz with references.  The abbreviations are as follows:  ASM = Amazing Spider-Man; Spec = Spectacular Spider-Man (or Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man); SM = Spider-Man (or Peter Parker, Spider-Man); Sens = Sensational Spider-Man; MTU = Marvel Team-Up (assume Volume 1, unless specified); SMTU = Spider-Man Team-Up; SMU = Spider-Man Unlimited.
