Spider-Man tends to have more problems and "real" struggles than the average superhero. It's definitely one of the elements of his personality that have made him so appealing over the years. One such struggle fans might share with the webslinger is distress over one's reputation: how one is seen and perceived by others. Spider-Man has certainly had his share of poor reputation and bad press despite his best efforts to do good. As a result, it's quite nice to see a time when Captain America (one of the most popular and well-loved superheroes in the Marvel Universe) decides to have Spider-Man's back.
Back in 2016, the 12-issue Spidey series ran, detailing some of Peter Parker's earliest days in his superhero career. In its tenth issue from Robbie Thompson and Nathan Stockman, Spider-Man is feeling really down about the fact that nobody really likes him. Fans know that this is largely due to the Daily Bugle newspaper and its editor J. Jonah Jameson, who has a fierce hatred for Spider-Man, seeing him as a masked menace who does little to contribute in the way of heroics. While Spider-Man is in fact a hero and tries every day to be as responsible as he can with the power he has, The Daily Bugle does him no favors in the public eye.

That changes in Issue #10 with one of Spider-Man's first team-ups with Captain America. They go out on patrol together, and Spidey notes how much everyone loves Cap and everything he does. Likewise, Captain America gets to learn why Spider-Man does what he does (that whole power/responsibility thing), and Cap is impressed by Spider-Man's efforts and intentions, especially after they end the day taking down several A.I.M agents and MODOK and Spider-Man is able to hold his own pretty effectively. Afterward, Cap also gives Spidey some good advice about reputation. He tells Peter that reputations come and go, but all that matters is what you do next.
Spider-Man seems to appreciate the imparted wisdom, however, Cap does even more for Peter the next day. While going on a run, he sees the Daily Bugle's coverage on the A.I.M attack, naming Spider-Man as a menace and possible agent of A.I.M.. As this was far from the truth, Captain Steve Rogers immediately goes to the Bugle building to have a word with the editor.
With Cap's grievances about the Bugle's depiction of Spider-Man aired, as well as the strong implication that Jameson and his mustache remind Cap of Hitler, the headline is corrected thanks to the good amount of fear put into Jameson. In the end, It looks as though Spider-Man gets the good press he deserves thanks to Cap (at least for a little while). While Jameson will, of course, revert back to making sure Spidey's seen as a menace, it's pretty cool to see Spider-Man get treated like the hero he is, with a little help from Cap.
