Depending on the universe, he may have designed his own web shooters and webs that are incredibly strong and also dissolve on their own in a matter of hours. He should become a materials engineer.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

There are universes where he's more of a scientist.
He actually did that. Part of the reason Miles Morales was created is that Peter had started a business and actually started making money, which made him less of an everyman.
He’s probably got an insane body too. But the personality doesn’t work, I guess
The “alter ego is a nerd” thing didn’t make sense to me in my teens because I was like “yeah okay, these dudes are fucking shredded and athletic”. Then I found out /fit/ existed and I was like “oh, extremely in shape people can be social misfits too, nice”
Rock climbing is bang in the middle of the two circles "nerd" and "ripped." Half the folk at my local wall are complete dorks (and I mean that affectionately) whilst also being slabs of muscle. Seems to be popular amongst people working in compsci/IT.
Well, this job certainly would make the perfect excuse for him to take photos of himself striking some cool poses.
Is fashion a good job? I don’t think it generally pays very well.
His job, canonically, has been freelance photographer. I think fashion probably beats that.
He’s a genius though… he could just be a freelance software developer that works remote.
I feel like that would create a paper trail that might break his secret identity.
This guy can sense danger before it happens. I’m pretty sure there’s a way to capitalize on that.
