Not always. There were a number of versions of Hamlet before Shakespeare wrote his. Originally Hamlet didn't die (among some other things that are radically different), but his death now is something no one would change because of what Shakespeare did with the story.
Sounds more like King Arthur and Beowulf than Spider-Man. If there was one undisputed original version, a version that is still very much accessible, I'd have to reassess my position.
