Here comes the Spider-Man

This is the same man who punched out two (count em, 2) different white supremacists, who stood in front of a group of racists and called them wastes of time to their faces. He ordered a politician backed by the KKK to get out of his office. If this man actually ran a podcast, it'd be Civil Rights advocacy.

He hates Spidey because he hates the idea of masked vigilantes, beings who are above the law, who can't be documented. Who can do what they want with no consequences, despite the potential harm of innocent civilians.

In the Ultimates comics, this man gave multiple speeches about how he was wrong about Spider-Man. He describes how during the Ultimatum Wave, he watched Spidey dive in and out to save people and realized how wrong he was, saw in his own words what a real hero looked. And he started writing that BEFORE he learned Spidey had "died".

On Earth 65, he leads the charge against Gwen not because he just hates those Masked Menaces so much but because she was thought guilty of the murder of Peter Parker. He didn't even know the Parkers, but he still cared about the lives of every single stranger he came into contact with (hence why he became mayor).

He risks being murdered all the time to get the truth out. He's faced down masked supervillains and told them to fuck off. This is the same man who hired a 15 year old boy (not just bought photos from, hired) because he recently lost everything. In multiple universes, when he learns who Spidey is he starts helping him.

Hulk is one of the strongest opinions I have. He should be DISGUSTINGLY ripped. Like a stupid amount. I'm talking veins popping, the whole works. Every. Single. Muscle should be tense and strained to the max, including his face. He is literally a rage monster who goes big cause his muscles tense and tear and stretch. I mean that's literally what "hulking out" is, he's.. hulking... out. This is why the MCU is so boring to me cause what do you mean you're gonna be "grounded" so superhero costumes are out of the picture but you're not gonna fully science this shit like a criminalacttv video? Fake asf

Wolverine should have dwarfism. Really, I just think he should be short but I specifically want him to have dwarfism for 3 reasons. First, overcompensating for Hugh Jackman inspired 6'3" conventionally handsome Wolverine. Second, dwarfism needs more and better representation. Also he's like super sexually active which I think also needs to be represented more (without Huge Jacked Man). Third, I mean come on dude, his nemesis calls him "Runt". It works way less when he's bigger than Sabretooth but it only adds to it if you give him a disability that makes him smaller. I also think he should be disheveled as fuxk again just cause.

Mr Fantastic is actually kinda perfectly presented as is cause he's always a lean, non-muscular guy. Like he doesn't have any real muscles to strain and contract so he wouldn't ever have real definition. I mean he could in theory puff himself up to look muscular but Reed isn't the kinda guy to do that. Johnny on the other hand should be not super built but like conventionally attractive muscular because he's full of himself and his looks.

Captain America (Steve) is kinda perfect in the MCU. The serum literally gave him the strongest but healthiest possible non-super body. Like he isn't the typical dehydrated buff type, he has a good amount of weight.

Modern Tony Stark doesn't do as much physical punching and shit as his original suit-that-turns-you-into-Superman days so he should probably not be ripped unless you make him a workout guy. This is one of those can go either way cases.

Ben Grimm should be. That is all.

they wrote their names on top of buildings you'll paint yours on the sky

Just like everything else with Peter, he is a regular guy. Other superheros represent what we should aspire to be, but Spidey represents what we can be. He cares for every life. He hopes to give everybody a second chance. But if someone asks for it, Pete will beat their fucking skull in.

When his cop/detective friend Jean DeWolff was murdered, he hunted the man down and physically fought his way past Daredevil to kill the guy and ended up beating him within an inch of his life. When Kingpin got May shot, Peter broke into his prison, effortlessly beat him to a smear, and then promised that when May died, not if, he'd come back and finish the job- violently. There are just countless instances of him deciding "I'm actually going to kill him now totally" with Norman. Most notably of course is the glider incident, which Peter didn't actually go to with the intent to kill (weirdly enough despite Gobby killing his fiance). However, he took pleasure in beating him senseless and wasn't exactly broken up by the final thud.

As if it's not even cooler for a guy, a normal dude like you and I, to actually hold back. To have all these violent urges but be so kind that no matter how angry he will get he will physically force himself to not act on them, to calm himself down, find ways to cope, just because he wants to be good, so badly, he will do anything for that. And sure he will snap, but he will also feel bad afterwards because he will see that what he's done is wrong and he will try harder to find a way to stop it from happening. (Hence why the black suit story is so interesting in that regard, because the black suit makes Peter feel better about himself to a genuinely bad extent, he stops feeling that sense of guilt he usually feels that helps him to hold back and just starts pummeling through baddies without a care, killing whoever gets in his way, and it makes him feel like shit when he finally snaps out of it).

Oh yeah no I mostly agree. I feel like the whole "he can kill anyone, he just holds back" mentality that's been applied to fucking everyone is the same form of toxic masculinity as the whole Frank Miller and Zack Snyder ideology that lead to the Batgod debacle that still haunts DC today. With characters like Superman, I don't love it but I can accept it. But Spidey isn't some beacon of hope with a heart of gold. He is a flawed, often even wrong individual.

Me, myself, and I, and him are all the same guy~ 🎶

Hopefully I made it clear who's who and made it distinct enough, but in case I didn't (and for those who can't tell) I added the color coding.

Blue is ATSV, Purple is Brakken's Makeoververse, Orange is 616, Pink is Ps4, and Green is just my own iteration.
