Too many gadgets? That never stopped Batman...
There's a MASSIVE difference between Spiderman and Batman. The biggest one is, obviously the lack of powers.
That is not an excuse!!! Spider-man has villains 8 times stronger than him, having gadgets or tools is to help you when you are obviously overpowered by someone else.

@Deadcool: yes but batman has a cave spiderman have an apartment
True.
Meh...
Uhhh.... Batman goes up against people who can destroy an entire planet, on a regular basis.
Thats crap. Who Bane? Joker? The Penguin? You DC fanboys are just ridiculous. Give it a rest already.
Purlease. Batman defeated Darkseid, Starro and other cosmic villains so many times single handedly. Have you heard of the term Batgod?
Spiderman is a simple hero and fights simple villains like the green goblin and venom.
He does not need gadgets and what not. You marvel fanboys are just ridiculous.
He does not fight Darkseid or any other cosmic villian on a regular basis. Spider-Man has gone up against cosmic villians too, but on a regular basis his rogues gallery are street level. Just like Batman.
It depends on what you mean by "regular basis" does every one or two years count? If not then I guess its not as regular as your definition of regular.
Also you are right when you're saying Batman's rogue gallery are street level. But your arguments for Spider-man should wear gadgets cos his villains are street levels just does not make sense. Just think about your own post.
Flash's rogue gallery are street level characters, should he wear gadgets too?
How about Wolverine? Should he wear gadgets too?
Lets put all the street level characters with street level rogue galleries in gadgets then.
Flash's own powers are not street level. If he didn't have any morals, he would got rid of his villans.
I'm not sure if you understand the term street level.
It depends on what you term street levels.If in that case, Spiderman isn't a street level character as well. Spiderman like others said, fought cosmic villains
Spider-Man's agility and reflexes are far superior to those of an ordinary human, even those that represent the peak of human conditioning such as Captain America. The speed of his reflexes combined with his spider-sense allows him to dodge almost any attack, even gunfire at point blank. Due to the events of "The Other," his reflexes are increased further, responding directly to his spider-sense and instinct that can result in him lashing out at negligible threats. During the "Grim Hunt" storyline, he was able to dodge a bullet fired from a hunting rifle at point blank range. Aloysha Kravinoff noted that even Spider-Man wasn't "supposed to be that fast," and the story implies that Spider-Man's exceptional speed in that situation was a result of the intense grief and rage he was feeling at the time.
Spider-Man has the ability to maintain his equilibrium on any surface that he can stick to. For example, he can balance on one finger on a high wire, or stand upright on a wall, his body parallel to the ground. Additionally, he is able to flex his body like acontortionist, assuming postures that would be impossible or harmful for most normal humans. His tendons and connective tissues are at least twice as elastic as the average human being's. This ability is often demonstrated by the unusual poses Spider-Man would assume while webslinging or dodging enemy attacks. Also, as an outcome of his spider-reflexes, Peter has developed his own fighting style.
Spider-Man's "spider-sense" manifests in a tingling feeling at the base of his skull, alerting him to personal danger in proportion to the severity of that danger. It appears to be a simultaneous, seemingly clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena. Though the exact mechanism of this ability is unknown, (though in Amazing Spider-Man #1, he refers to it as an instinctive ability) his original spider-sense clearly has at least two aspects in addition to sensing potential or immediate danger:
- A psychological awareness of his surroundings, similar to the radar-sense of Daredevil. When he is temporarily blinded, Spider-Man learns to emulate this ability and navigate without his eyesight. Even under normal conditions, his spider-sense helps him navigate darkened rooms, instinctively avoiding obstacles or hazards, or potentially noisy or unstable floorboards, walls or ceilings that may betray his presence. In one comic, he is shown sensing how many fingers Mary Jane is holding up.
- An ability to detect certain radio frequencies. Spider-Man's technical skill is such that he has designed spider-tracers that broadcast a signal detectable by his spider-sense.
Using his spider-sense to time his enhanced reflexes, Spider-Man can casually dodge attacks up to and including automatic-weapons fire. Even point blank, his spider-sense has already warned him in enough time to get away like a precognitive sense, before he can even consciously think about his actions. However, he can ignore this instinct. His spider-sense is sufficiently well-linked to his reflexes, even before "The Other" storyline, that a threat can trigger them even when Spider-Man is asleep or stunned, as inAmazing Spider-Man #141, where a narcotic gas released by foe Mysterio caused him to lose his balance and fall from a building. Though barely conscious, a combination of spider-sense and reflex caused his arm to seize a fire-escape ladder, saving his life.
When Spider-Man swings across a city on his weblines, his spider-sense guides his aim, allowing him to travel at high speeds hundreds of feet above street level with minimal concentration, confident his weblines will find secure anchor points.
Spider-Man's spider-sense is directional and can guide him to or away from hidden weapons and disguised enemies. Sudden and extreme threats (such as the Beyonder observing Earth before the first Secret Wars, Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet to destroy half of the sapient population of the universe, the Ultimate version of Venom, or the predatory Morlun) can cause his spider-sense to react with painful intensity.
Spider-Man can also sense and dodge attacks directed randomly or by a computer. His spider-sense has helped him preserve his secret identity since it alerts him to observers or cameras when changing into or out of his costume. The spider-sense does not react to those whom Peter does not consider a threat, such as Aunt May. Contrary to this, his spider-sense has warned him of people close to him when he does not wish to be seen, such as when he's partly in costume.
Spider-Man can choose to ignore his spider-sense, and distraction or fatigue can force unawareness.
Spider-Man has used his spider-sense to battle even the most skilled fighters in the Marvel Universe. While not being as trained as them in conventional fighting styles his spider-sense and reflexes (provided with split second quickness and agility) allow him to dodge and counter, often with ease.
After the "Disassembled" and "The Other" storylines, Spider-Man gains the ability to feel vibrations and currents in the air or in his web lines, much like a real spider. He also develops a psychic connection to insects, spiders, and other arthropods, though this aspect of his powers may no longer be present (see below). The spider-sense also allows Spider-man to determine the source of the incoming attack, which gives him an advantage against enemies who are all over the place like Spot.
As a result of the storyline "Revenge of the Spider-Slayer", Spider-Man loses his spider-sense when he sets off a device that disabled Spencer Smythe's latest creations' ability to coordinate their attacks via a similar principle. As such, he starts taking Kung-Fu lessons from Shang-Chi, on Madame Web's advice. When his full powers are restored in the Spider-Island storyline, his battle-honed body granted him a new, refined form of Spider-Sense, where Spider-Man instead of blindly react to threats automatically draws upon Shang-Chi's training.
So its pretty obvious Spiderman isnt a street level character.
Flash for all intent and purposes is a street level character until he got overpowered. but he has recently been depowered as well. So yeah if we really wanna be anal about it, we can call flash mid-tier and same goes to spiderman.
Daredevil, Green Arrow and Batman are street level, which is the big reason they use gadgets, because the got zero to very little powers.
