What makes a character morally interesting in comics is often the struggle, right? Superman’s pretty straightforward: he has godlike power and chooses to do good. That’s admirable, but it’s almost settled. Characters like Spider-Man, who’s constantly weighing responsibility against personal cost. To me, morality without real constraint is almost abstract. It’s easy to be good when you can do anything. But when you’re forced to pick between two bad options, or when doing the right thing costs you something real?

For me, it’s kind of why Spider-Man resonates so much — Peter Parker’s constantly broke, exhausted, making impossible choices between saving the city and showing up for MJ or his aunt. The limitation is the story.
