Dont care about what color a superbook comic here is, but the tradition of Spiderman is that the story of Peter Parker and his way of growing up (being small and bullied) to being a shy superhero attracted millions of people to the story line.
Yes, the PC crowd is overwhelming in making things different, but use different characters to do that. A new member of the Justice League, or a protege of Spiderman. So many possibilities, but they try to force it down the simple way, which usually backfires.
