Thats exactly what I think of Superman.

i'm pretty confident if the 2 would have been created at the same time spider-man would edgeout ahead of superman
In Illinois, there's a city called Metropolis, and they have a giant statue of superman statue in the middle of it. There's a Superman museum there.
Superman has a ride at six flags.
Superman among all comic characters has had by far the most tv time, with several cartoon series, and one hour cartoon movies, justice league, Super friends, the several tv series', etc.

you also forgot buda
aside from that i already stated that sups is the bigger icon but there's a reason for that he was for all pratical purposes the first of his kind ofcouse that naturally tips the scales in his favor, everyone talking about superman have mentioned the statues the parades and the rides, but aside from all the glory what else is there to him? how does he connect with the common man? fact is he cant because he wasnt ment to he's always been depiceted as being above man so it's impossible to imagen him as just a man the closest he came was when christoper reeves was crippled but then it was reeves who was the true superman for everything he did after he was paralized, i'm not picking spidy because i like him more or anything like that i'm picking him for what he is and what he means, he outright has more depth and meaning than superman, yes superman was first and for that reason he can never be forgotten but spider-man brings more to the world than superman in terms of depth
oh yea spidy also has a ride
