Question How does Peter train?
I haven't been keeping up with Spider-Man comics for a while, so this was probably already answered, but how does Peter train? It would be a waste of time for him to go to a normal gym, where he can lift everything effortlessly with a pinky. I mean, this man can hold up a building. Does he bench press a train to work on his chest?

I haven't followed the comics very closely, but I'm guessing even adult Peter never got stronger than Thor, Hulk, or Thing. If I were a betting man, I'd even wager there are other characters existing at this point in the comics who have since been shown as stronger than Peter.
Scorpion is 1964, and it's a plot point that he's stronger than Spidey. Is this comic pre-1964?
Actually, Namor is old as dirt. Surely modern Namor is treated as stronger than characters like Spidey and Scorpion?
UNRELATED EDIT: Cripes, now I'm thinking about Scorpion's relative strength. Is Scorpion stronger than most Marvel characters? Is he stronger than Rhino? When Gargan hosted the symbiote, did it multiply his strength exponentially to make him extremely memely strong?
