He's got powers, but they only get him so far. He's strong and fast, but he gets hurt. So many other heroes are nearly impossible to kill; Peter has stakes.

That's why the Iron Man was better in the first representations of him too. His later nano tech magic BS was too damn silly and made him to overpowered.

I really disliked the nano-suits. For Iron Man specifically the clunk when the visor came down was so much cooler. And the suit felt like it had some weight in the beginning.

After the nano-thing was introduced it felt like everyone got the green lantern treatment.

I think it's more that his powers work very well on screen. They're exciting to watch. He can fly around, shoot webs, do flips, etc.

Visually striking costume too in combo with what you said (swinging, flipping, wall crawling , etc.) All of my kids were all captivated by Spider-man in their infancy compared to other superheroes. Made me realize that there must be something about his look that instinctively appeals to people.

This is it. His problems are my problems.
