Spider-Man (Happy Birthday, Tobey Maguire)

Happy birthday to the very first, live action, theatrical Spider-Man actor, Tobey Maguire. Like many Spider-Man fans, it is a joy to see Spider-Man on the big screen. And what better actor to do so than Tobey Maguire. Here's our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man from the classic Sam Raimi trilogy, donning his MK 2 design from Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Although he could've been more quippy like his Earth-616 counterpart (at least we still have the movie tie-in games for the quips), Tobey does capture the Peter Parker aspects in each film. The vulnerability and responsibility that makes Peter human to us. Plus, it's cool to see him again in No Way Home. That, and in real life, he loves working with Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland.

Let's all wish the actor who played our web-slinging hero of Earth-96283 a happy birthday.
