Anansi/Ananse the Spider is a spider-man who is believed to be from the Ashanti group in Ghana. I remember reading about him either in high school or some time in college. The story goes by Anansi wanting to buy the sky god's stories. However the sky god told him in order to do so Anansi would have to capture a python, a leopard, a fairy, and a hornet. Anansi did just that and the sky god rewarded him with the stories.
