The everyman argument, he's human, flawed, he's just like us, he's us behind a mask. First of all, Spidey is a mutated superhero who crawls on walls and knows instinctively how to move and fight like a ninja, plus he's a gifted level genius who so happens to marry super models, date cat burglars, and sex up other spider women and some other heroines. I believe Spidey is short sited for his whole comicbook history not relateable(to many adventures outside of new York, invents shit that impresses geniuses like reed and Pym, fought and likely befriended every marvel hero and on a lesser note the respect of villians, saved realities, defeated villians that are stronger than him and outsmarted opponents smarter than him, and was possibly gonna be a millionare if he maintained his own science company), Clint Barton and Hydra Bob are more normal everyday guys than Peter is. And they don't live down a world of epic heroic adventures just because they are powerless and feel like muggles in a world of gods and devils, they are more human because they want to escape from reality and not to it.
Peter so far has contradicted himself thinking he's less than nothing compared to the Avengers he so call idolizes, and he's in denial to think he's doesn't got what it takes because he has been a top ace since day one along with a life that many would envy than not embrace, in short their human desires which Spidey spits at since he can't have a selfish human desire because of his unhealthy notion of responsibility and self sabotage for others which is okay if your like Batman who is known as a kook. And I never got this idea that New York has to be something he's responsible for since now that he's saves lives he should focus that strength on protecting the entirety of the USA or at least all the cites in America rampant on crime and corruption.
Did I mention he was cables prophesied hero that became the savior of the future.
