I find it strange that you claim to be into old Marvel comics, then go on to list all these things about Peter you dislike -- stuff that I really don't think are applicable to older Spider-Man comics. Horrible teamplayer? I seem to recall him working just fine with Daredevil (yes, he threw a fit that one time, but I think we can cut him some slack due to the fact he'd just been blinded), Wolverine, Black Cat, etc. And let's not forget everyone he worked with during both Secret Wars! Rude? Not that I can particularly remember, aside from times when he was under extreme pressure. Interrupting funerals? I have absolutely no idea what this is a reference to, but I'd love to know!

All that said, it's not like I particularly love Peter. No, the one I loved was Ben. Quit reading Spider-Man comics the day they killed him off, despite having been following it since the very start.

OP

They're not the oldest comics, and they're mostly from a pretty specific time range circa 1975. It's also a little while since I read them all. But I remember him being a dick every time he showed up in Defenders, a show-stealing dick in Howard the Duck, and I think also a dick in some Fantastic Four somewhere along the line? DD only came up in the stack I worked through once or twice, so if they got on okay I missed it. I seem to recall Hulk disliking him though, and he's usually a pretty good judge of character. :P

IDK. I grew up watching the Spiderman series from the 90s, and I read the newspaper adaptation when I was a little girl. I had plenty of opportunity to like him, but unlike X-Men, I felt too old for him after a while, if you see what I mean. I'm not even slightly judging you for enjoying him, now or ever, but I found him too self-consciously written as young to identify with him after the age of about - got to be honest here - seven or so, and he's obviously written to be relatable (unlike, say, Strange or Vision or someone spacey and fun to read). He lost a lot of appeal to me when I started seeing him as this snarky youngster. Considering it was another few years before I stopped getting much out of The Beano, that says a lot about how he came off to me. He just seems really judgemental and quick to react, even compared to famously conclusion-jumping characters. Like Cyclops - at least to my mind - can be like that, but he seems far more likely to be called on his bullshit because he works in ensemble comics.
