Ant Man and Blue Beetle for me.
Or more precisely Scott Lang and Ted Kord for me.

Why would anybody want to be Spider-Man? He has a horrible life! I read where one Spider-Man writer said in order to write Spidey, you had to think of the sh*ttiest thing that could happen to a person, that hadn't already been used by a Spider-Man writer. He was married to a luscious redhead for the longest time....

Like Confessor, Spidey is and always will be my favourite superhero. So I would have to be him
And since Scorpion is one of the greatest villain designs of all times IMO, he would be my second. And if I happened to be a bad guy and wanted to help out JJJ.

The Scorpion...basically has to aim his butt at people to hit them. I guess that's cool.

(...) Anyway, I chose the Green Hornet because, why not? He had a sweet car and Bruce Lee as a sidekick! Not entirely sure that Bruce Lee was the sidekick...

Some random thoughts based upon comments from others: Scorpion using his butt as a weapon. Does this make him the 1st ever Booty Bouncer or Twerker in comics? Bruce Lee/Kato was NOT a sidekick in any form. He was a full on partner who did most of the heavy work (IE: fighting) for the duo. Spidey has always had wonderful women attracted him throughout his series. Betty Brant, Gloria Grant, Gwen, MJ, Black Cat just to naming a few. Bad luck in life is amplified for Pete but he does have some great benefit packages: super strength, spider sense, super agility etc. The Infantino (thrrrrrrbbbbbt at you Confessor) Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman was really seductive, dark and sensual woman that I could understand men being both attracted to and unnerved by. That she had a venom-electric bolt, immunity to poisons and the glider wings helped to make her different and unique from Spider-Man. Swarm: visually cool look with all those bee's forming a body. A shame a writer hasn't done more with the concept as there is so much potential in him than just being a swarm of bee's. Ambush Bug has never really done anything for me. He doesn't have an insect power base and I liked him as a pain in the ass/annoying villain.

Ambush Bug is the best, or course. The Son of Ambush Bug (and I swear to God I mean this) is one of the best examinations of Sartrian existential despair in comics, up there with Peanuts and Ghost World, and maybe the best examination of the soul deadening compromises between making art and making a living.
I also dig the original Black Widow (before she got mangled in some stupid aughies mini-series) and the Butterfly.
