Spider-Man holds back because he's a teenager afraid of killing

Atom · refreshed Search related

Spider-Man's restraint isn't a power limit — it's a moral one. He is canonically strong enough to kill most opponents, yet pulls every punch because Peter Parker is a teenager who hasn't reconciled with the lethality of his own strength. Restraint, not power, is the real character test for the hero.
