Or Infamous Iron Man...

I loving hate Superior Spider-Man because he's stealing Peter's life, he got better because it's comic books but the first act is murdering Peter Parker and stealing his identity. Infamous Iron-Man is great because it's Doom trying to be good while paying tribute to someone he apparently respected without stealing their life. I think if Bendis hadn't left Marvel to write Superman comics Infamous Iron Man would have had a pretty long run.

I sometimes smile and think of Superior Spider-Man stealing lunches from other heroes in the Avengers communal fridge, like the worst coworker ever.

Yeah they seem uniquely suited to a good Spider-man comic, they really nailed that street level kind of heroics with the CrullerCrawler.

in 616 he went to college and was roommates with a fictional grandson of Jim Thorpe, then was a racecar driver (that might have been a hobby, I don't remember if he actually did professional races) then much later Sue made him CEO of the F4 corporation in a (futile) attempt to make him grow up, and most recently he was a cashier at "Not Wallmart" I will admit to a huge gap in my F4 knowledge between the end of the Lee/Kirby run that ended in the early 70s and the Waid run that started in 2002, so maybe he did that in the middle.

I enjoyed the last sneaking mission where she just targets people while the various other mooks are looking away and then Spider-Man just swings out and yanks them away like he's Batman.

Yeah it stunk. The whole arc was bad. They fumbled this pretty badly and the letters page was eye rolling.
