Just shooting webs out of his wrists isn’t enough to make you stop and think this is a pile of unrealistic horseshit?
Iron Man got turned into a tin can of cranberry sauce the first time he cratered the Mark I.
Bruce Banner needs to eat insane quantities of food and basically perform organic cold fusion to extract the energy required to increase his mass. Shrinking back down to human size annihilates the entire city he’s in with the release of energy.
When Ant-Man grows to giant size, a breeze would blow him away.
Thor’s hammer Mjolnir punches a hole through the earth every time he sets it down.
You just gotta let some stuff slide.
In most cases, Spider-Man has no natural webs, and instead uses web shooters and a special web fluid he invented. That said, in pretty much every case, he also has fairly extreme super strength, to the point that it’s revealed within the comics that he’s almost always holding back.
I find it funny that the one thing that would make him spider like, he doesn’t have. He’s just a strong dude that sticks to walls.
With a sense of premonition and super fast reflexes and logical thinking skills.
In addition to what others have said, Spidey grabs the web in his hand after he shoots it. He’s not actually swinging by his wrists, he’s holding it like we would hold a rope.
Also, calling himself SpiderTeen would weaken his secret identity, as that’s a much smaller percentage of the population. Especially when he gets older and starts calling himself Spiderman, his enemies could easily do the math and start searching for people around that age.
He’s supposed to be super-strong.
And durable.

and gay
Mayday would prefer against that, since it causes hassles with her existence.
I used to think this too when I was a kid but he has increased durability so his wrist is probably super strong
He’s got super strength, I’m pretty sure whatever internal body restructuring happened also allowed for strong enough arms to withstand it. I can’t remember which one it’s in but he’s holding back a lot with all his enemies so as not to kill them. Also he’s an adult in some of them and he named himself so of course a teenage boy who suddenly got super powers is gonna be like “I’m a man now!”
It was in Superior Spider-Man. Doc Ock takes over Peter’s body and starts running around as Spider-Man. He confronts Scorpion and punches his jaw off, realizing that all the times he fought Spidey, he was always holding back and could’ve completely destroyed him any time he wanted.
There are a few times where Peter will drop the one liners and quips and stuff and go all out when something serious happens too if I recall.
so of course a teenage boy who suddenly got super powers is gonna be like “I’m a man now!”
That’s puberty for ya!
he has superhuman durability, and strength. arthopods for thier size is extremely strong, due to have more muscle attachments sites, and not fettered by a skeleton.
Well, Spiderman was created in the 1940s. And he was a teenager then. Lets call it in the middle and say he was born in 1925.
He’s 100 this year. Spider Teen just doesn’t fit.
Then again, Bart Simpson is always 10 years old. Which means, right now he was born in 2015. But he also walked on top of the original World Trade Center.
Let that shit fuck with your brain.
If any element of the Marvel universe respected the laws of physics, it would break the rest of the franchise.
As to your second point: He IS trying to disguise his identity.
Also, most male teenagers fashioning themselves as super heroes - accurately or otherwise - probably wouldn’t describe themselves as “teen” or “boy” or whatever.
edit: Remove redundant word.

He shoots web from devices he made. His web shooting is not part of his super powers. It’s part of his science nerd smartness. He also tends to hold the web like a rope after shooting it, so it’s not just attached at his wrist.
But also, he has super strength. He’s canonically stronger than Captain America.
actually if I recall that varies a lot on the series/comic. The original one invented the web shooter and synthesized the web material. But if I recall in the original comics there were some points and versions that had organic, peter’s clone had organic webs, . Rami’s version of spiderman for the movies had organic webs.
But yeah the long and short of it is, the actual spider powers, are stregnth, durability and quickened reflexes. Which when you factor in impossible durrability as the power that kind of covers the not breaking off his arm.
This one ain’t no teen.
As others have mentioned he does have super strength but i would argue thats not the whole of the story. He is usually moving with the web not being tugged in random directions so the force would be similar to swinging on a rope swing, which many normal people do without breaking their wrists. The tugging would be more likely to dislocate or rip off rather than break. Most broken wrists occur from bad angles of the force or from landing on the wrist, not from a tugging or swinging motion.
My anecdote to contribute is i once had a rope wrapped around a solid object in a lake. The other end was loosely looped around my wrist while i was on a pontoon boat. The driver was backing up so we could do some measuring and i ran out of rope, it damm near pulled me off the boat but my wrist not only stopped the pontoon but kept it in place against the motor breifly without breaking. Its all about the angle of the force.
The numerology wouldn’t add up properly when his lore was being made.
As for the swinging part, this I’m not sure of, but scientifically, unless you trained your wrists, I think they’d break.
Doesn’t he have super human strength which would require superhuman tendons and bones
I could swear he had super spider strength
I don’t think so… at least not that I’m aware of.
I know this is probably googleable but I swear it was like strength of a man sized spider and like could lift a car. Also haven’t seen a spider man movie in a long time so could be wrong
