When I say spider powers I mean "The proportionate strength of the spider".
He can't make webbing (forget the movies),he doesn't crave bugs to eat.He simply gained the strength of a spider if a spider was his size.And of course the ability to wall crawl.
Well if he has it in the Ultimate serious, I'm guessing he has it in normally. I don't think its ever brought up because its not a high rate like wolverine. He must have higher than the normal human because he gets into a fight at least once a week and still has to teach his chemistry class.
Gender: Male Location: somewhere looking for trouble
Spiderman has enhance resistant to injury his bones are tougher than a normal human and he may recover form injury faster than normal humans..but it's not like "I've been shot 9 times" and 3 minutes later he's walking around like nothing happen to him.
His body, when bitten by the spider, increased his bodys strength. His entire body was re-wired and alterred. The sinews, tendons and muscles became tougher, more supple (thats how he can bend in such odd ways, and thats why he has a style of fighting nobody can copy). His body became super strong and ten times better in general.
Because his metabolism is increased, his body repairs itself a helluva lot faster than normal humans. It's not like Wolverines almost instant healling. Say a deep cut would take a normal human a month, Spidey's would be fixed in a couple of days. Broken bones take months for us, but with Spidey it takes a week or so to get back to normal.
He doesn't stay hurt for long, but long enough for a freshly broken bone to be a problem during a battle. He also doesn't seem to scar, which helps hide his secret identity, because he'd be coverred in em.

Well it would be very hard to break his spine in the first place, remember. Not only is his spine strong, it's amazingly flexible. He'll just bend, rather than break.
But it probably could be broke if someone like Superman had a go.
As for it repairring - it's Spider-Man. Short of removing his spinal cord from his body, it'll repair. It's a comic. Remember Bane breaking Batmans back?
We all know there's little chance anybody would be able to grab spidey in the first place, in a good position let alone hold him long enough to bend him hard enough to snap his back.
Actually, now he can make webs (along with a few "other" tricks).

Last year during Marvel's "Disassembled" arc, Spidey gained organic web shooters, his reflex speed increased by another 5x, he strenght level increased to lifting 5 tons more than before, his spider-sense was enhanced giving him a "psychic alignment" with his environment, and he can communicate with spiders and insects. There may've been other changes, we'll just have to wait and see.
