Does Spider-Man's sense of responsibility outweigh his great power, or does it create a balance?

Let's look to the Venn diagram, shall we?

On our very EXCLUSIVE, very blue Venn Diagram Power & Responsibility Men's T-Shirt, we notice the likeness of Spider-Man's Spider-cowl filling the 'zone' where states of absolute power and absolute responsibility comingle equally.

Okay, enough with the fancy-speak: this royal blue, 100% cotton Spider-Man t-shirt proves -- with the help of a Venn diagram -- that Spider-Man is beset upon by great power tempered with an equally great sense of responsibility.

To be a successful Spider-person, one must never disrupt this balance: too much power leads to corruption, and too much responsibility leads to soul-crushing emotional stasis (Peter usually suffers the latter).
