 Ostensibly an Italian take on the comic book superhero Spider-Man, the film is a reference to foreign movies that misappropriate popular American superheroes such as the Turkish film "3 Dev Adam", and licensed series such as the Japanese TV series "Spider-Man", both of which alter the character of Spider-Man for foreign audiences.Other notable entries include the Indian version of "Superman" (1987), "The Three Fantastic Supermen" (1967) and "La Mujer Murcielago (The Batwoman)" (1968).It also resembles the movie "Bathman dal pianeta Eros" (1982).
