The story of Marvel’s beloved web-head has been told in many, but very similar, ways. With a total of nine movie appearances, Spider-Man fans could recite Peter Parker’s origin story by memory: bitten by radioactive spider, gets superpowers, Uncle Ben, “great power comes great responsibility”, saves the day.

As a kid, I’ve always wanted to perform a Kamehameha. I know, it’s impossible (*whispers* still holding out hope). One year, I even dressed up as Goku for Halloween. If you haven’t caught at what I’m getting at, it’s that Dragon Ball has had quite an impact on my growing up. Once I got into…
