We've put an explosive charge in your head

Steve has the charisma, cleverness in strategy, but thats sort of it? unless you count some pretty good physical strength, but if youre getting bit by a radioactive spider, your previous strength level is irrelevant

Will can be clever, but i doubt he really has it in him to hurt others. like ACTUAL people, even if theyre villains or criminals, it just isn't his nature. It's not like he's never hurt a bad guy (insert s5 here) but those were very specific situations under very specific circumstances, he hurt vecna because vecna caused him and all his loved ones great hurt. but a random criminal?? nah he just doesnt roll that way

but there is one character who would perfectly fit the spiderman personality and skillset, yet for some reasons that ill get into later, everyone ignores him, and thats dustin.

hes smart, sciencey, humorous, sassy, willing to take physical action, and has a good heart. HE IS PERFECT FOR A SPIDERMAN AU. but unfortunately, ive only seen like, one.

i think this relates back to the general gripe i have with the ST fandom and their treatment of dustin as a character. he is heavily ignored because he is not conventionally "appealing" to people. hes chubby and disabled. he gets left out of ships, aus, fics, he is an AFTERTHOUGHT. yes he's a fan favorite, everybody likes dustin, but nobody really cares about him.

i just find it disappointing how hes so perfect for something like a spiderman au, yet the spiderman role is always handed to the more conventionally attractive characters, even if they dont fit spidey.
