thinking more about spiderman duke au
he was bit when he was 23, and the spider was actually webby, so in a sense his spider powers are actually his gift in a way.
he struggled a lot at first but with the free time he had he practiced as much as he could, in case he ever needed it to help someone.
and there's been all sorts of reasons his spider senses have been helpful - from saving kids to protecting the town from evil - he's both the friendly neighbourhood spiderman and the friendly neighbourhood social worker.
