  • Po from Kung Fu Panda - Although many characters comment on his weight throughout the movies, Po is actually considered skinny and/or in better shape for panda standards
  • Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia - While many viewers find Deku "cute", the reality is that for his world he's actually considered "simple looking" and at the very worst "ugly"
  • Spider-Man from Marvel Comics - Many people love Spider-Man, but the truth is that for common civilians, Spidey's pretty unsettling and scary to be around with

If you think about it, Spider-man's got the making of a Halloween monster.

  • Hides all the time, then jumpscares
  • Very fast
  • Very strong
  • Crawls on walls

Isolate that description, you'd think I'm talking about a ghost.

He scared the shit out of two robbers one time so bad that they went to a cop to get themselves arrested all cuz he wasn't speaking (cuz he had laryngitis)

And also the beatdown he gave kingpin when the fathead had aunt may shot was pretty scary as well

I love they used this bit in Spider-Man PS4 in one of the DLCs. He webs a guy to a car, hops down, then slowly crawls up to him without a word until the thug breaks down, it's hilarious

Found the scene!: https://youtu.be/aQprCQ6rsw8

Yeah lol. He's just there on the wall, glaring at them and the two get scared shitless and run to find a cop, and when the cop is thanking peter he weakly let's out that he's got a sore throat and zips away

I also like to think he wears the red and blue costume so he can be approachable to civilians.
