Now, Peter Parker was a high-school junior/senior, average height, but thin.
Even in disguise, he's not that imposing a figure, but obviously a young adult...

After Ditko left, Spidey's look became more muscular until he was on a par with most other acrobatic heroes like Daredevil or Black Panther.
How is a 12-14 year-old (even spider-enhanced) possibly going to look like anything but a kid in a Halloween costume when going toe-to-toe with characters who look like Schwarzenegger in a funhouse mirror?
Spider-Boy, maybe.
