I see what the writer is saying for sure but I’ll be honest and say Spider-Man wasn’t the best choice of superhero to try to make this point

They call him your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for a reason

He's always depicted as hand-to-mouth poor.

Of all the superheroes, he's probably the most proletariat-affiliated.

On the other side, there are examples like the Pym family, who destroy their stretch limos whenever they're dirty to buy new ones.

He’s always depicted as hand-to-mouth poor.

And when he started a business and started doing well financially they introduced a second Spider-Man who was broke again.
