Spider-Man is usually denied any glamour or glory for his many good works.
Spider-Man has amazing strength, enhanced senses, agility and reflexes, as well as great speed, but he is a still a young person trying to figure out life, work, and relationships while struggling to pay the rent. Through this trauma Spider-Man learns to live by the mantra, "with great power comes great responsibility".

He is power fantasy for children: a high school-aged teenager is given superpowers through the bite of a radioactive spider. Marvel Comic's Spider-Man is an iconic character.
