When a real-world neighborhood becomes part of a fictional superhero's iconic lore, it turns into a cherished landmark for fans worldwide. In a historic tribute to pop culture, a street sign reading 'Spider-Man Way' was officially unveiled at the intersection of Ascan Avenue and Ingram Street in Forest Hills, Queens, New York.
Since his debut in Marvel Comics in 1962, Peter Parker—the alter ego of Spider-Man—has been famously rooted in Forest Hills, Queens. In 1989, Marvel Comics officially cemented his home address as 20 Ingram Street. To honor this legacy, local authorities and Marvel enthusiasts gathered on Monday (October 12, 2026) for an official street co-naming ceremony.
New York State Assemblyman Sam Berger emphasized the deep connection between the superhero and the borough of Queens, stating that Spider-Man has been inextricably linked to Queens and Forest Hills for decades, inspiring generations to step up in times of trouble. The newly designated 'Spider-Man Way' now stands as a permanent destination for comic book fans visiting New York City.
