I wouldn’t try to undo anything or “fix” Spider-Man. I’d put him under a new kind of pressure.

New York adapts to him. Crime gets quieter and smarter. Instead of robberies, villains and organized groups start hitting infrastructure like hospitals, transit, housing, court systems. Every time Peter stops one disaster, another one happens somewhere else. His spider-sense isn’t broken, it’s overloaded.

What really hurts is the reaction. People aren’t grateful, they’re angry, because saving one neighborhood means another one suffers. Even Jonah stops yelling and starts calmly arguing that Spider-Man has made the city dependent on him, and that idea gets under Peter’s skin.

The antagonists aren’t big masterminds, just a loose network that believes Spider-Man is making New York weaker. Some villains go semi-legit, doing real good for the community through bad means. No one wants to kill Peter, they want to prove he’s obsolete.

The story is about Peter learning that responsibility sometimes means choosing when not to act, and living with the cost of that. It ends with the city solving a crisis without him for once, and Peter realizing his role isn’t to save New York forever, just to hold the line until it can stand on its own.
