Face it, we will never have a radioactive spider to create a Spider-man.

1. Unable to sling around from CBD to HDB

The only skyscrapers can be found only in the CBD area. There just isn’t enough tall buildings to swing between that and the heartlands.

How? Take bus lor..

2. Photojournalist as a job

Well photo-journos don't pay that well and if you're like Peter Parker who's a genius, your parents probably will want you to be a lawyer or doctor. No more web-swinging for you. Then again when you have bosses that look similarly alike, something must be up.

3. Too many girlfriends on the tiny island

“Busted”

If you’ve read the comics, Spider-man is actually quite the ladies man. In Singapore where everybody is somebody's somebody, probably a nosy neighbour will rat on you. So much for secret identities.

4. Being the brunt of jokes

National service must have been a bitch. With full of derogatory phrases that insults Peter’s icon.

“They told me I was too kancheong spider and asked me to go F*** a spider…”

5. The weather

The heat in Singapore would make it hard to keep up appearances. Gotta keep washing that sweat-soaked costume.

Upside is that it would dry pretty fast too!

6. National service

Not only does Petey become the brunt of jokes, he has to hide his powers well. That’s $400 less in his pocket because trying his best for IPPT may let slip of his super powers.

“Sian, must keng again”

7. Lack of privacy

Attempt to do anything out of ordinary in Singapore and then it is “LOL STOMPED”

Imagine if this iconic scene never happened.

Are you a huge Spider-man fan? Here's your chance to win tickets to meet cast of the Amazing Spider-man 2!
