Spider-Man is half’n’half. He got super strength and agility as well as his “spider senses” from the spider bite.
His webshooters, suits, and other tools he made himself. The Raimi films always bugged me that they made his web shooting stuff a mutation from the bite and not showing off his intelligence and engineering skills. Cuz he also didn’t have money like Batman or Ironman.
The biological webbing coming from his wrists was stupid. If it was a spider mutation, he should have had spinnerettes growing from his rear end. The handmade web shooters were way more logical.
My problem with the handheld ones is that they’re way way too effective. He was good at science but that tech was way way beyond realism. It’s nigh-unbreakable, ultra-accurate and insanely grippy, almost inexhaustible in a single tiny canister. And somehow he can afford to regularly create batches on his limited income. Etc etc.
I mean, having the biological webbing come out of his hands isn’t a whole lot less realistic than the wall crawling or spidey sense. And he’s got weird powers from radioactive spider bite, who says they have to manifest in any specific way.
Until a writer noticed that the web shooters mean Peter is a once-in-a-century chemist and should be swimming in cash from selling a few things he cobbled together in his apartment. Now, Peter Parker runs a mega-corp. Part of the reason that Miles Morales was introduced is specifically because Peter was no longer an everyman protagonist.

He runs out regularly in combat, even traveling which lead to plot points and how he handles fights though.
