So doesn't Spidey admitting to having a camera basically blow apart his secret identity?

Nah, plenty of people have cameras. Now, if he tries to sell those specific shots somewhere as Peter Parker, maybe?

"Parker! These shots could only have been taken by someone in the room! Now don't lie to me, you bought them from Spider-Man, didn't you! That's plagiarism! Now get out of my office, I'm trying to figure out Spider-Man's secret identity!"

I can see this being the outcome too, yes. I mean, everybody in newspaper Spider-Man is dumb enough to believe that.

Yeah, your bones and skin are pretty strong, but they're not strong enough to handle super muscles, hell, they're barely strong enough to handle your regular muscles. Athletes tear tendons, break bones, and rip skin all the time if they mess up their form or slip and fall at speed. To be super-strong you'd also need super-durability, realistically, or your body would tear itself apart whenever you went all out.

Even at his buffest in the comics Superman still isn't that muscled, just in good trim, especially compared to how strong he is. Which actually makes sense -- if you're Superman and you have to lift something like a mountain range before you start putting in more effort than normal, how are you gonna bulk up, exactly? Do reps with the Moon?

Kirkman actually came up with a solution for that in Invincible at one point. You take the hardest material you've got, and then you increase the effective weight of the rep by pushing back with a magnetic field. Assuming you're already dealing with comic book science there's no reason it wouldn't function as a workout routine, albeit an expensive one (all that magnetic 'force' has to come from electricity, after all).

Does Spider-Man have organic web-shooters in this one and so his daughter also has that ability, or did she steal his web-shooting device? And are some of those webs anchored to bedclothes? How are they holding in place?

Actually, so long as you cover the head-holes, you can last quite a while in vacuum. It's a myth that it's freezing. In fact, it's most likely to be way too hot, because there's no atmosphere between you and the sun.

Depends on where you are in space. If you're around Earth orbit and in direct sunlight, you'll rapidly heat up yeah. If you're in the vicinity of say, Pluto, you'll rapidly freeze.

Obviously they don't know poo poo about the Van der Waals force interactions that actually let things stick to walls and are instead assuming Spider-Man stuck via some kind of adhesive. DARPA's Z Man project showed that a mere 16 square inches of contact would support 660 pounds with their prototype tech. The proportional sticking ability of a spider would probably work a lot better, but even with just that Spider-man requires only about four square inches to support his own weight, or the surface of his feet and hands (although he'd have to use his palms, not his fingertips).
