10 Idiotic Mistakes That Almost Ruined Spider-Man

Remember how Spider-Man is supposed to be a relatable, fairly average guy under his mask? Of course you do. Remember how 'fairly average guy' translates to millionaire genius CEO? No? Neither do I. Funny that.
Giving Peter a tech corporation, globe-trotting adventures and an (admittedly very cool) armoured Spidey suit may sound like a fun idea that warrants brief exploration in something like - oh, I don't know - a book that explores the infinite alternate-universe versions of the character. In his main continuity title though? It really doesn't work...
He can't be a friendly neighbourhood hero if he's flying around the world toppling governments and making trade deals; it doesn't work and takes away from one of the character's most appealing elements, that being his everyman quality.
