-Iron Man is another rich white man with brains who like Batman loves to beat on less fortunate people. I'm really not into Capitalistic super heros. He doesn't actually have super powers either unless he's using his serum stuff and suit.

-Spiderman has actual super powers. He is intelligent, but uses his intelligence to make decisions that help people, not weapons that hurt them. He comes from a blue collar background which makes him more American than any of those guys above.[/quote]

You're saying that Batman and Iron Man beat up thugs like they're doing it because they're less wealthy than they are. Spiderman's webbing can definitely hurt somebody and the other two do also use their resources to help other people too. That's what a super hero does. Being broke doesn't make someone American being born and living here does. I don't feel like there's a lifestyle or status that has to be set to be considered a true citizen of a country.

He isn't the typical super hero. He's not rich and certainly not all knowing and all powerful. He also doesn't always get the girl and when he does bad things tend to happen to them. He's one of the unfortunate ones as opposed to Batman, Iron Man, etc. who are fortunate.[/quote]
I don't any of those guys really can be classified as fortunate. Peter's parents died and were regarded to be traitors of their country and he lost his uncle. Batman has lost both of his parents at a young age too and it sort of messed with his head. Iron Man was kidnapped and tortured and has a drinking problem.

In fact, he happens to make a life out of helping people who are also unfortunate while fighting against people who may or may not be rich. Some of the villains he's up against are wealthy and smart scientists. Peter Parker is completely anti-hero. I love it. The only thing I dislike about Spiderman is that his jokes are corny. :/
You're saying that like the other two don't do the same. I agree about his jokes being corny.
