10 Times Spider-Man Was A Real Jerk

1. Letting The Robber Go - Amazing Fantasy #15

Absolutely nothing I've listed so far would have ever happened to Spider-Man if he hadn't been a jerk this one single time. It's frankly hilarious how all of Petey's woes can still be traced back to this one act of selfishness.

We all know what happens. Peter Parker first gets his powers and of course decides to use them to make himself some fast money. But when a chance at actual heroism is literally served up on a plate by a robber running past him, Spidey does nothing because hey, not like it's his business right?

Well, you know the rest by now...

Other entries on this list may be technically more egregious in terms of Spidey being a massive jerk, but those moments would not have even existed had Peter just stuck his foot out to trip one robber running right past him.
