If Spider-Man is defined by the mantra “with great power comes great responsibility,” then Ida B. Wells embodied that creed long before it was ever written. A pioneering journalist, educator, and civil rights activist, Wells spun her web of truth against the entrenched systems of racial violence and oppression. Armed with nothing but her pen, her courage, and an unyielding belief in justice, she exposed the horror of lynching at a time when silence was safer. Like Spider-Man swinging fearlessly through the city to confront villains larger than himself, Wells moved from newsroom to lecture hall to courtroom, using her gifts to protect the vulnerable and challenge the powerful. Her fight was not for glory, but for accountability. Her web of truth continues to stretch across generations, reminding us that heroes are defined not by supernatural gifts, but by the courage to act when others shrink away.
