Spider-Man is considered Marvel Comics’ most relatable hero, and this is mainly because of the circumstances that he goes through. Beyond just fighting supervillains, he also has to contend with more mundane issues that the average person also deals with. Unfortunately, recent storylines had taken this concept a bit too far, throwing everything at Spidey at once.The result is that the current crop of Spider-Man books feel like an endless cycle of doom and despair, to the point of being ridiculous. On the other hand, fellow Marvel property X-Men is far more fitting when it comes to an infinite barrage of turmoil. Though both cases can be a bit extreme, the X-Men comics are a better fit for these kinds of developments.Ever since he debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15 (by Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Stan Goldberg, and Artie Simek), Spider-Man has embodied realism and verisimilitude better than any other hero. This meant that his life had all the trials of reality, giving readers someone to both relate to and root for. He wasn’t a billionaire industrialist, super soldier or Norse god, but a (mostly) normal New Yorker trying to make his way in the world while being a friendly neighborhood hero. Throughout the Bronze Age, he experienced good times and bad, with the death of Gwen Stacy being followed up by relatively happier times. Ever since Peter Parker’s marriage to Mary Jane got erased in Spider-Man: One More Day, however, he’s devolved as a character and had a life full of dysfunction.RELATED: Why Doesn’t Mary Jane Love Spider-Man Anymore?
