"Nobody Knows Who You Are..."

Okay, I might be giving something away here about Spidey 2, but I do so out of pure admiration. As a result of a battle with Doc Ock aboard a speeding train, Spidey's mask is badly burned, and he rips it off before losing consciousness. Peter wakes up with a carful of commuters staring at him. He realizes they can see his face and...

They still don't recognize him.

Lots of people might recognize millionare Bruce Wayne, industrialist Tony Stark, or lawyer Matt Murdock, but how many strangers know Peter Parker, college kid, part-time shutterbug for the Daily Bugle?

Brilliant.
