    I pronounce Spiderman like you pronounce the surname Peterman. Spider-min. In fact, the same goes for other comic book characters. Super-min, Bat-min, Iron-min, etc. But not for women. For comic book character names ending in “woman”, you emphasize the A sound so it sounds more like “man”. Spider-Wo-man, Wonder Wo-man, Invisible Wo-man, etc.
