So I was going through T.V tropes and I saw a page for the older Spiderman cartoon I watched as a kid and then I read something from an episode I saw and didn't fully get then.
"In Spider-Man The Animated Series, Spider-Man meets and becomes friends with a young girl who is his "biggest fan". Naturally they end up on an adventure, and at the end of the story arc she asks to see his real face; Parker relents and reveals his identity to the girl, who promises to keep it a secret for the rest of her life."
Simple enough right?
Here's the part I didn't get as a kid.
Why would you do this?
