** With Spider-Man, it's being a hero even when there is no reward for being one; it won't get bills paid, it won't help your love life and it won't get you fame and respect. But you do it anyway, because it's the right thing to do.

** Everyone has some kind of secret, either a big one or a small one, and there's always more to people than you assume. Just as the world assumes little of Peter Parker and Spider-Man, Peter himself often underestimates or misjudges the people around him.
** You have to work for everything in your life, whether it's your job, your superhero calling, your marriage, your relationships. People are complicated, messy, and demanding, and you have to be there for them and make things work and never take people for granted.
