webslinger
Wall-crawling comic hero
A webslinger is someone who shoots webs, virtually always referring to Spider-Man or characters with similar powers.
The term combines the superhero's signature ability with the Old West connotation of "slinger"—someone quick and skilled with their weapon.
The friendly neighborhood webslinger swung between buildings.
Used affectionately by fans and in comic book discourse.
