WhoWould you rather be...Tony Stark or Peter Parker?

Who would? That's what people are focusing on too much. Give me Pete's power set, and I'd spend a month hitting casinos and playing the stock market, raking with my spider-sense (yes, it can work like that). Then I'd get a NYC penthouse and build my own personal laboratory next door to Reed Richards (you know, to ask for advice on stuff). I'd be near Stark's wealth and genius within a year. Pete's life has always hindered his scientific progress, but he got a job working with a legit think-tank and exploded with tech in an incredibly short time period.

And mother-f*cking web-slinging. Coolest way in comics to travel.

Tony's in-comic life is basically max level already. There's not much ceiling above it. Of course it's better if you only look at them in the comics. But Pete's has Sooooo much room to climb, plus you'd be younger and have natural powers.

So do I get downgraded into an american by choosing either?

OP asked "who would You rather BE?"

Not whose powers you will like to have. 😠

Peters personal life is crap, he gets little to no respect as a superhero and despite his powers and how 'awesome' they might be his rogue gallery is ridiculous. Serious Hate flows in the marvel U for spiderman.

I'd go with stark. Money, women, brains and a tech wonderland. Armors that can do whatever you what or need them to. Fame. TRUE avenger status and all the respect that comes with it.

Agreed, but only problem with Stark:

He's The Worf.

After Wonder Man, he's the guy that usually gets beaten down just to show how baddass someone else is, so tends to take more then his share of lumps.

But the binge drinking and endless one night stands (Second only to Matt Murdock, maybe?) still makes his life a lot better then Parkers..

Do you get their intelligence and skills too?

Stark of course.

What Digi said. As Pete Ill be a billionare by the end of the week, build myself Stark level tech (easy) and have super powers on top of that as well as Pete's youth. Threesome with Black Cat and MJ is another good reason. Also id finally do what Pete could've done months ago. Do it with Ms. Marvel and Silver Sable. Maybe Black Widow too.

I would rather be Parker. Oneo f the main reasons would be that I would be truly superhuman. Stark without his armour is physically just another bloke. Hell, for most of his Marvel history he had that shard of shrapnel in his heart which meant he would die without the chestplate pacemaker that kept his ticker going.
Another thing is, if you take this to the real world, Spiderman would be hailed rightfully as a true hero. Jonah Jameson, who far all his faults is a decent human being, would be shouting Parker's praise from the rooftops.

Given the choice between a free lance photographer who struggles to make ends meat and a playboy billionare. This is pretty much a NO BRAINER.

I remember a scene where Mephisto was trying make Peter explore the possibilities of what he could have been if he didn't get to have spider-powers. One is of them is a extremely rich guy probably as rich as stark with warp drive on his car. Yeah i'll be just like that with actual super powers, built myself armor like Ironman, rob banks and do stuff the actual spider-man wouldn't do.

Parker's an idiot too. It's [b]me with his powers.

Then there's an edge to Stark in the tech department. I'd still become a (steady) billionaire as Pete and build tech that could near-rival Tony's, all while having Spider powers and ~15 more years of my life due to youth.

I await your rebuttal to my points.

😐 [/B]

The OP made it pretty clear, imo, that we'd get everything they had, intelligence included.

Even being bugboy as a billionaire would suck donkey balls.

That's one major thing. Being peter parker with that kind of money would be like being Mark Zuccerman, your not flashy, not putting a target on your back constantly, and the kicker is your truly superhuman. Not only is Peter younger than stark, who knows how long he's gonna live due to his powers. Either way, Stark's life isn't exactly a bed of roses everyday either. His life gets turned to sh*t on a regular basis too.

Stark's semen doesn't give women cancer.

Stark by a long shot.
