I don't know why anyone would think it's even close, as a franchise, Spider-Man has had more movies and spin-offs (see what I did there) than anything else. The only one that comes close is X-Men and box office there hasn't been stellar.

The movies aren't the reason for Spiderman's popularity, they are a result of it. Spiderman is omnipresent in "children culture" in a lot of countries worldwide. Growing up they will get to know that character even if they don't consume any specific movie, show or comic.

Oh, very much so. Marvel's Superman.

Isn't Spider-Man merch alone like $1B per year?
