All About

Spider-Man 2

J. Jonah Jameson

(J.K. Simmons)

In ''Spider-Man'' The hilariously splenetic Jameson uses his position as publisher of the Daily Bugle to vilify Spidey as a public menace -- while periodically instructing his secretary to hang up on his wife.

In ''Spider-Man 2'' More of the same, except Jonah's also planning his son's wedding.

In the comic books ''He is EXACTLY how he is portrayed in the comics,'' Quesada, um, marvels. ''It's one of the best literal portrayals of a character I've ever seen.''
