What a complete and utter spider-slinging nerd this guy is. He's a photographer for a newspaper, barely getting by trying to live off the dying medium of print journalism. But it's what he knows, and he insists that his talents should be recognized. Realize how smart and talented he is, people! But of course those big boss bullies never do.

Then there's the fact that he can't get the girl. He's all fumbly and cute and awkward and just never finds the right words. The poor guy just needs the jolt of confidence that comes with being an internationally known superhero to work of the courage to talk to her. It's easy to forget you're a geek when you're saving the world.

Then, like so many of these alter egos, he's a gadget nerd. He built his own web capsules and everything! He also clearly knows how to work a camera such that he can get shots of his whole body while fighting crime. But then again, he never quite could build an arc reactor like Tony Stark.

Sure, he had that one terrible stint as the cool-guy-jerk-wad in Spiderman 3, but when he's not possessed by evil alien sentience, he's just you're average nerd who happens to have been bitten by a radioactive spider.
