my correction for the question:
I have watched the adventure of “The Amazing Spiderman” and am wondering about something.
How could ‘man’ in “spiderman” be pronounced differently than ‘man’ in “huntsman”?

My answer for the question:
‘man’ in superhero characters (superman, batman, spiderman) is pronounced differently than ‘man’ in huntsman, sportsman, fireman, horseman, woman.

as to why it is pronounced differently on different words, I have no idea.. :)
English is a unique language which has so many irregularities. Why is the "ch" in "chord" and "chore" pronounced differently? Also, man in “man” and “woman” is pronounced differently.
