Spider beats fly.
Fly beats newspaper.
Newspaper beats spider.

You'll have to read the comic to find out.

"Spider sense" has been misdescribed. Actually, it is the sense of revenge.

When they die violently, they send out a pheromone that other spiders recognize as "get 'im". Then, at night, they creep into an orifice like the ear canal or nose. They might lay eggs or poop in there.

Ever wake up with an awful taste in your mouth. It was a web.

And, you don't want to know what eye boogers really are.

Nighty-night.

But if you ever try that with flies, they won't let that happen. If you try to step on one, they're already halfway across the room before your foot hits the floor. And you have to be reeeaaallly fast to hit it with anything other than a flyswatter. And even with the flyswatter you have to be fairly quick with your swing.

So there might be some evidence for the existence of fly sense, but spider sense is totally debunked. They should have said Spider-Man has fly sense, which he got from the fly that the radioactive spider ate before biting him.
Not all spiders have spider-sense. Some do though.
