For some reason I've just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.

Iron Man.

The guy supported Yellowjacket joining the Avengers.

Are you judging by the movies, or the comic books? The movies keep him a perpetual teen; he's way more sassy and adult in the comics.

There are tons im not wild about. Can't stand. I dunno. at this point there have been multiple versions of most and usually at least one interpretation is decent.

I agree with spiderman, I've still not watched his stand-alone movies.

Also hulk once he becomes "smart" hulk in end game.

Also fat Thor in end game, again not funny just whiny.

I don't think it was supposed to be funny. I think that was their attempt at somehow mangling mental health into their stories because that's what the kids are all about or something

"He just never seems to become an adult"

What are you expecting? That fictional superheros grow up and get old?

Spiderman first appeared in -62, so you'd have never seen him as an immature teenager, but a grumpy middleaged dude.

On that note, there are depictions of adult Spiderman. Like in "Into the Spiderverse" or what was it.

But the essence of the character is the relative immaturity. Like Batman's is gruff vigilanteism and Superman's overtly good nature.
