** The earliest instances of Peter Parker as an industrialist were in an alternate timeline in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''VideoGame/SpiderManEdgeOfTime'' and in both instances, the two wealthy Parkers were shown as jerks and badguysguys
** Even aside from alternate universes, generally speaking Spider-Man comics have rarely portrayed big business in a positive light. A decent number of Spider-Man's biggest enemies are CorruptCorporateExecutive types (Norman Osborn, Wilson Fisk (alongside being a mobster), Roderick Kingsley, to name a few), or were themselves victims of greedy corporate types who screwed them over and caused their descent into villainy (prominent examples including Shocker, Vulture, and Doc Ock, though adaptations also sometimes portray Electro, Lizard, Rhino, and many others similarly the result of their superior's corruption) which is usually painted to cast them sympathetically with the corporate figure responsible (usually composited into Norman Osborn or Wilson Fisk in adaptations) presented as a much worse villain. Notably, in the MCU movies, even ''[[Franchise/IronMan Tony Stark]]'' is presented this way (exclusively in the Spider-Man films, as [[ContinuitySnarl the other MCU films generally portrayed him very uninvolved in the business side of his company and pretty put off by the notion of double-dealing]]), as his business actions are directly responsible for both Vulture and Mysterio's turn to villainy, with a decent helping of JerkassHasAPoint involved. Generally speaking, if a billionaire is in a piece of Spider-Man media, its very likely they're going to either be a villain or they're going to create one (or several).
** Likewise, characters who come from wealth or acquire it are usually portrayed as their wealth effecting their morality. At his most sympathetic and heroic, Harry Osborn is usually presented as rejecting his familial wealth, choosing to live modestly and getting a job, or running a small business, while his more villainous eras tend to involve embracing the Osborn legacy, and with it the wealth and corporate holdings. Likewise, his wife Liz Allen has been a fairly sympathetic figure for most of her existence, but once she founded Alchemax, she became a much more shady figure willing to do some less-than-heroic acts, albeit not quite as villainous as other examples.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' is the first animated Spider-Man series to focus his time as a teenager in high school, as it was originally in the comics. The show is also widely considered an AdaptationDistillation as it stays true to the comics (through using a lot of elements from the original Spider-Man comics that were written by Creator/StanLee and Steve Ditko; the show brought in characters, storylines, and plot elements with a similar balance of action, drama and comedy as well as a high school setting) in addition to utilizing material from all eras of the comic's run and other sources such as the more recent the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' comics and the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Sam Raimi movies]], making a Spider-Man cartoon that is very popular and recognizable to both older and younger fans.

* BrieferThanTheyThink: Adaptations tend to emphasize the high school element to the degree that it has arguably become LostInImitation. Brian Michael Bendis took this to the logical extreme in the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' comics, where 200+ issues were written and completed over a span of a decade without Peter or his class graduating from high school. Meanwhile, the recent Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films feature the webhead being played by Tom Holland, the youngest actor yet to play Spider-Man, and he's still in high school as of his seventh movie appearance (three of those being solo films) and 6 years of real-time.

* FriendlessBackground: In Adaptations, such as ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', this is dialed down with Peter having Ultimate MJ as his friend from childhood and confiding in her his secret early in his run, which carried over in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' and ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' where Peter's no longer entirely alone.
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: Spider-Man's origins have moved from being bit by a [[RadiationInducedSuperpowers radioactive]] spider in the original to being bit by a genetically enhanced "super spider" in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', and both the [[Film/SpiderMan1 original movie]] and [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan the reboot]]. The '90s ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries Spider-Man]]'' cartoon actually goes half-way, being bit by a spider that was hit by "neogenic" radiation. The mainstream comics [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski eventually]] decide to hint that his powers [[DoingInTheScientist might actually be magic]], which to be fair makes more sense than radiation.

** Likewise, for most people who come to the character from the newspaper strip or follow the regular continuity, Spider-Man hasn't been a KidHero or high-school student since his early issues. He graduated from high school to college similar to Marvel Comics EarlyInstallmentWeirdness where they averted ComicBookTime and had characters age and progress. However, cartoons and movies by focusing on his origins tend to paint him as that. Creator/BrianMichaelBendis' popular ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' wrote 200 issues with Peter still not graduating high school and the series ended without him graduating.

* SneakingOutAtNight: Many adaptations that use his younger iterations where he's still a teenager (e.g. ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', or cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' and ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'') sometimes use this trope, partially to get some drama out of it. One common example is Spidey thinking that he needs to wrap up a fight quickly so he can be home before May discovers he's gone.
