Silver / Bronze Age Spider-Man's life was tragic, and he was always condemned to have strained relationships with / be separated from loved ones by threats and/or death. No superpower is worth that.
The Hulk also had a tragic life. Who on earth would want to be hunted by the military and their associated government agencies? No one. Who would want to become a creature who might seriously hurt or kill someone, but you learn of this once back in your normal state. How do you deal with that. Again, not worth it.
eh... did the 616 Hulk ever seriously hurt anyone? In my mind, there's always enough humanity left that he won't admit to, that keeps him from doing any major harm. Taking on tanks and jet fighters and not losing? That's gotta be a thrill. I'm not going to "woe is me" about it in the morning, I'm going to wake up and find a way to Hulk out again. If they don't wanna keep scrapping their equipment, then the puny humans can just leave me alone. Looks like fun

Man-Thing went from an unhappy and cuckolded lab rat to a hideous, shambling pile of mud whose touch ignites fearful people. Even starting from a low point, that wasn't much of a trade-off! Man-Thing for the win! Almost sounds like Vonnegut's visual story arc for Metamorphosis

I don’t actually feel there should be a “report post” button on *any* forum as I’ve seen it misused, not when one can just send a message to a moderator or admin. I just want to pick you up on this and clarify something, in case it isn't clear to you or anyone else. The "report post" button does just what it says: it reports or flags a particular post to the site admin and moderating staff, so that we can decide whether further action is needed. It does not automatically get the author of the reported post in trouble or get them banned from the forum. The "report post" button is most often used to flag spambots or scam profiles, meaning that the mod team can quickly remove any dangerous or malicious posts from the forum. The second most common use of it is to flag something that might possibly break the forum rules, which we then look at as a team to decide an appropriate course of action. On very rare occasions it is used by people who feel that they are being directly insulted or abused in a post, but thankfully, that's rare at the CCF. I can assure you that there are no so-called "report wars" going on here. Such action would be completely transparent to the mod team, and the vindictive and combative nature of such a thing would clearly violate forum rule #1, meaning that the "report warrior" (if there ever was one) would end up being the one who was disciplined, not the person they had a grudge against. The report button is simply a quick and efficiant way of alerting the moderating staff to a potential problem. As such, it's a very useful and necassary tool. To not have it would make the community much less safe. Should I "report" this post? nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk

Yes it is. i get the transition now. You might argue that the real transition came when Miller started writing as well as drawing the series. As someone who was really bored by DD until Miller came along I do see #158 as a big change. I picked up #160 off the shelves after a friend told me the series improved, and the Hulk in #163 & Doc Ock fight in #165 were very impressive to me as a kid, and still read as powerful to me today. Obviously Miller continued to elevate once he took over full writing duties, but I became a regular reader soon after Miller came on board because of Miller.
