This is perfectly normal behavior for someone who was bitten by a radioactive spider and developed 'spidey-senses' and an ability to shoot webs and swing from them. He is a pretty good crime-fighter in NewYork, but sucks big time in the dessert where there is nothing to swing from except for the occasional cactus. While Spiderman is both strong and cunning, his lack of sartorial elegance cost him a higher position.
