The thing about most Marvel characters that have a lasting appeal, is that most of them really could be anybody. Unlike the mutants who are born with their powers, the unlikely accidents and circumstances that provide the origins of their popular characters could've happened to just about any other character at some point or another. Tony Stark could've experimented with gamma rays and became the Hulk, any other astronauts could've became the Fantastic Four, etc.
In a room full of people, any one of them could've gotten bit by that radioactive spider. What if it had bitten Betty Brant?
