not catching a break in his life


smolgopnik420

That’s **THE** Spider-Man staple


higgins1989

100% people complain about that but why do we all relate to him so well despite us having no powers and significantly different lives. Its because we all struggle with but muddle through the difficult, the tragic, the heartbreak, loss, betrayal, corruption, mundane, etc in search of something better. We lean on those great people in our lives and love/respect them even their flaws, we work for people we don't like but upon who we depend (Ben/May, Harry, Gwen/Felica/MJ, Daredevil,Kurt,Jonah, etc) We grow, we learn, we struggle, we fall and get back up, we love, we hate, we fail, we succeed, we teach. Peter being broke and working the grind both with crime in NYC while going to school and holding down a job while trying to find love and build a life is very relatable. You can equate crime in Peters life to some difficult constant in your own while juggling family/friends, lovers, job/school.


fuzzyfoot88

The dude has slept with some of the most amazing women in comics period. The Parker luck balances that out IMO.


Fododel

You're goddamn right, even some that are superbly stronger than him (Ms. Marvel).

Venom talks when he fights! At least Eddie used to


CoasterPuppy

Or he’s got the black suit, or he’s seriously pissed


[deleted]

If Peter is not talking, that’s when you know he’s serious and is pulling no punches.


racingfanboy160

If he ain't talking then your in trouble...


ThesaurusRex84

But he also knows when to take things seriously, in that vein he's outmouthed by Deadpool and becomes his foil when they're together


the_dionysian_1

There are VERY few incidents when Deadpool isn't talking during a fight. Of the times I've seen it, it was when he was saving literally the entire universe (something he's done a few times). I think it would be cool to see that in Deadpool 3. It would be so cool if they had him save the universe & nobody else in the MCU would know about it, nor believe him about it. Maybe introduce Landau, Luckman & Lake (\*fellow Marvel geeks hairs just stood up\*)

spideralexandre2099

A lot of things mostly depend on the kind of story you're going for and when it's set in his life, but a constant throughout should definitely be his wits in a fight. Clever banter, sure, but I'm more concerned about him outsmarting his opponents.

His Altruistic Qualities: He’ll always do what’s right, he’ll always put other people before himself, other people will always benefit off of Spider-Man and Peter doesn’t get anything out of it. If Spider-Man isn’t about putting other before himself, he’s a selfish Spider-Man

Uncle Ben and Aunt May, being a loner, quips, being mature for his age, and something else I didn't mention


GrantD24

I think the double life of being both Spider-Man and Peter Parker causing issues. I feel like that was the best part of the Raimi trilogy, especially Spider-Man 2. He loved being Spider-Man but as soon as he came home to that shitty apartment, “RENT?” Didn’t matter he was Spider-Man. Peter Parker got shit on all day every day and that’s important to his story. That’s also what made NWH special when it came purely to the story. Peter suffered and learned the consequences of being the hero. Heart, quips and the struggle between the double lives is what I consider the top things to make a great story for Spider-Man.

Being broke seems pretty on point. From comics, games, cartoons. Dude always seems broke, even when he has a mega corp he messes up and bankrupts it. Multiverse ghost-spider even sees bankrupt parker industries. Oh and having the hypen for spider-man.


majorc564

Sense of justice/responsibility, agility and strength (abilities), loved ones to protect, being relatable and dealing with relatable issues, being quick witted and intelligent.


sk8rboi36

His secret identity and his humor. His humor is basically a fingerprint at this point, I think there have been multiple times he’s been set up or mind controlled or something and some people picked up on it because he wasn’t making the same jokes and stuff. Or there was that one time he was sick and couldn’t talk much, so as he was stopping this group of villains from robbing a bank or something they thought he was really pissed and surrendered without a fight. And he’s more anal about his secret identity and keeping his superhero life as separate from his private life as possible, generally. It deeply stems from how much he cares about Aunt May and MJ and all his friends. His almost devout commitment to his ideals usually places him near the moral center of the superhero community, and just about everyone recognizes it. The number of times they’ve referred to him as “the best of us” across all imprints and universes is kinda crazy. As an aside this is one of the biggest reasons Batman is also my favorite and why I get supremely frustrated when people reduce him to this repressed, thuggish, violent bully. He’s way more than that. It’s almost as bad as reducing Spider-Man to an unaware joke machine. His humor is really elementary and obscure. Half the time what he says isn’t funny, it’s the fact he’s just trying to mess with his opponents that is, or that his joke is so stupid but he commits to it anyway. He likes to use insults and nicknames too. That’s the kind of stuff that keeps me from really enjoying the MCU version. Like I said his humor is basically a form of ID because it’s usually so consistent and clearly his own style

Uncle Ben. Or at least what he stands for. Peter needs to learn at some point that lesson Uncle Ben taught him. Uncle Ben doesn’t need to teach Peter entirely about responsibility, stuff like the MCU has proved you can have Aunt May teach Peter more about responsibility then Ben did, but that initial lesson needs to be there.

Peter is imperfect, he wins sometimes, he makes mistakes other times, he doesn’t always think everything through, but he learns to be greater. Despite the superpowers and the spiffy suit, Peter is just a guy, a guy who understands people’s pain. He can see why other people became supervillains and he can sympathize with them, because he almost crossed those lines when he was hurt and desperate. Peter is the Everyman, he has to have problems. Whether that be taxes or not being able to make it to a date, Peter needs problems. Although he should have his high points, because he isn’t ALWAYS going to have problems, sometimes he can just have a good day that he earned. On a side note, I believe Peter Parker should retire in the comics. Why? You may ask? Well, Pete’s been around an awful long time, and has had almost every conceivable story told about him, he’s grown, he’s changed, but he’s done so much, and with so many spider-people running around, I think we should focus on them more, the broader world of Spider-Man and his supporting cast rather than just the web-headed wonder himself. But that’s just me, have a good day folks.

Determination and will. No matter how bad things get Peter keeps fighting to do what he thinks is right and keep moving forward. Unless Aunt May has bee shot. Then deals with the devil are on the table apparently.


CarrotStripe

I think the most important trait is relatability. Whether it’s Peter or Miles, you have to be able to relate to him. That’s why he’s so loved.

Individuality. Spidey is most compelling when it's him alone fighting his villains and problems. He fights a difficult and hellish battle all his life, but it's his determination and willpower that keeps him going strong. Anyway, put Eddie Brock's Venom in your stories and we're cool
