What species is the spider that turned Peter Parker into Spider-Man? Is it real? Here's what you need to know.
is one of the questions that pops up from time to time. Also, does the spider exist in real life, or is it just a comic-book invention?

While they do possess venom to immobilize their prey, orb-weaving spiders are not harmful to humans.

The reality is way duller, though.
Depending on the spider that bites you, you might get from a simple scratch, to a headache, to a tour to the nearest hospital in excruciating pain, and, in some rare cases, to death. In none of these scenarios will you get superpowers. And while most spider species are not venomous to humans, you should always be careful.
