10 Problems With Spider-Man Nobody Wants To Admit
1. He Really Doesn't Live Up To That Lesson He Learned
Peter Parker's whole deal is right there in his origin story, that ten-paged piece from the final issue of Amazing Fantasy, way back in 1962. He becomes Spider-Man, then doesn't stop a burglar from robbing the wrestling venue he's working at because it's not his problem, and then that same crook murders his Uncle Ben.
He learns a lesson: with great power, there must also come, great responsibility.
It's that ethos that has been carried through every Spider-Man comic, TV show, film, game, and action figure ever since. It's the guiding principal with which he goes about his superheroic business. And yet it's a lesson that he frequently twists to suit his own needs, or else abandons altogether.
He's put loved ones in jeopardy - with Gwen Stacy being the best example. He's allowed supervillains to break out of jail time and again to commit more crimes, and even kill people. There was even the time he lowered himself to CIA-style tactics and effectively tortured the Sandman, except it wasn't even to get information. It's just because he good.
That last one especially isn't using your power responsibly. In fact, it's abusing that power. Either this is a problem with the character, or the greatest achievement in creating a flawed, real superhero: one who can't even follow his own lesson.
