The Winner Is

The Internet

42 - 58
The evidence compels an unambiguous conclusion: whilst Spider-Man represents humanity's aspirational heroic ideal, the Internet has achieved practical dominion over modern existence. One saves citizens from localised peril through personal sacrifice; the other has fundamentally restructured human civilisation itself. Spider-Man's web connects rooftops; the Internet's web connects humanity. In the ultimate analysis, the Internet prevails not through heroism but through sheer infrastructural necessity. Even Spider-Man himself likely checks his email.
