Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.

I was just reading the sin eater spiderman arc and daredevil beats an enraged Peter unconscious with 12 hits so **** it I agree with this.
He was also wearing the black suit but it might have been the cloth one.
Even if it had been the symbiote, it didn't enhance Peter the first time it bonded with him, at least not in obvious ways --- aside from giving him unlimited webbing.
The idea of symbiotes massively amping their hosts was explored later.
Though some modern writers disagree on that and try to retcon it, sort of.
The symbiote did not amp Spider-Man's strength because he was the first one he bonded with and therefore copy pasted his powers (for the most part) an stats.

That and it was intelligent and kept low-profile for a reason, not wanting its host to suspect too much.
Some modern comics re-explored that period and had the symbiote amping Parker and defending him when he was unconscious/zoned out... but originally, it was written just as a fancy alien suit capable of self-repair, producing webbing, etc.
