Good thing mind control is not as addictive as Bane venom... Do I really need to bring up all the times Spider-man's fought and resisted mind control to prove a point. There's more to will power than that because otherwise freaking Deadpool would have more will power than Batman. In my opinion will power is finding strength to keep fighting when there's no hope left and fighting when there's no fight left in you. And when it comes to that Spider-man is not far behind guys like Cap and Supes.
For example, in one of the older books we've seen Pete die while protecting a little girl from an explosion. They both ended up in Death's realm. There was Thanos and lady Death herself. The girl's spirit was "unconscious" and Thanos told him that she's too far gone and belongs to Lady Death now while Pete can still get back among the living if he chooses to. Needless to say he was absolutely helpless in that situation. What did he do? Basically said "FU" to both of them and went up against a 40-foot Thanos.
Then there's this (he was dead three seconds ago):

And billion other similar showings.

SamZED, you're wrong. And I hate you.How many times has Spiderman chucked in the towel and contemplated giving up his life as Spidey?
When Batman tries to chuck it in, his own psychosis fights back and refuses to let go. If Otto tried to take over, his backup Batman would fight back, and he would be fiercer than Parker.
I'm never wrong and you're just jealous.
Giving up the life of superhero was never about will. And while we're on the subject Pete was once given the chance to give up being Spider-man, get back to normal life, basically rewrite history so that uncle Ben would be saved. And he wanted that more than anything but refused because that'd also mean giving up the responsibility and hoping that some other hero will save all the people he saved.
Psychosis exactly. Batman loves being Batman more than he loves helping people. Otherwise he would've ended Joker a long time ago his morals and code be damned. At some point it just becomes hypocrisy. Seriously I'd pay a great sum of money to see Batman in a situation similar to the one Vash (Trigun) was in. Vash ultimately made the right choice sacrificing his humanity, Batman would've probably just let everyone die and be full of himself. All is good as long as he personally doesn't pull the trigger, right? Ock would've erased him by pointing out that hypocrisy.😈
And Pete is not done fighting yet, see the later SSM issues.
