The flagship books for Marvel are Spiderman, the FF, the Avengers, and the X-Men. You already talked about Spidey. The Avengers don't really fit with the down-to-earth thing as much, although if you compare Captain America and Superman, I would say Cap is more down to earth. But the FF is very much "real people" - the whole point of them is that they're a family that happens to have superpowers, and trying to deal with those superpowers and the effect they have on their personal lives. The X-Men, as a group, are even more about that - about inter-personal interactions, and especially about being excluded and being an outsider and being lonely and all of that. That's the power that drives pretty much all X-Men stories. Wolverine is kind of an exception to that (and he's also, in his own way, down to earth).

Wolverine, Cap, Hulk, Iron Man might be the most marketable or the most recognizable characters. But the centerpiece of Marvel as a comics line and as a universe is Spiderman and the team books. Those are the tent-poles. And if you look at them, mostly, the emphasis of each is on their real lives.
