Christopher Columbus and Spiderman

I'm sure there is confusion as to how Spiderman and Christopher Columbus relate. Christopher Columbus, to my knowledge, had no super powers. Despite obvious differences, they have similar stories, yet opposite roles. Spiderman was the unsung hero of his town. He did not take credit for his actions, and continued his life as a teenager in high school with no social life and deals with an onslaught of bullies. Not to mention, Spiderman is vilified by the local paper, though he is innocent and only trying to help people. So how does this relate to the story of Christopher Columbus you ask? Well, Spiderman is kind of like the Native Americans that Christopher Columbus encountered when he "discovered" America. The Native Americans, just like Spiderman, have been falsely represented. They were not so happy to give up their land, as we have been taught. Instead, Christopher Columbus, who unlike Spiderman, has been painted as a hero, slaughtered many Native Americans. As stated by Christopher Columbus in his Letter to King Ferdinand of Spain he "took some natives by force". Spiderman only takes criminals by force, yet in his story the people believe he is the villain, and Christopher Columbus was revered as a god, and his story spoke of his heroic journey to discover America. Spiderman relates to the Native Americans because he has been falsely and unfairly represented, just as the Native Americans have been falsely represented throughout history. Christopher Columbus is the opposite of Spiderman, who is a good guy that everyone thinks is a jerk and Columbus was a jerk that everyone thought to be a good guy. Seriously, he was a scumbag. Stop teaching our kids about his heroics. Teach them about Spiderman.
