I think he might be like Blue Beetle (Jaime) if he really pursued his superheroing. They're very similar and I could see them switching places.

He could also become a member of the science police in Metropolis. That would be more interesting I think. He's got the brains to do well there and his powers would make him a kind of special agent, allowing him to do a little more than the other members of the team. He could even end up leading his own team, maybe getting a great spot in the larger organization. He'd even get paid regularly to save lives which would be appealing to a guy that usually has money troubles.

I don't think Spidey would be as connected in the DCU as he is in Marvel. In Marvel his powers are sufficient so that he can hold his own in premiere teams like the Avengers and FF whereas in the DCU he probably won't be able to hang with the premiere teams like the Justice league and would thus be excluded from the most important goings-on and not meet with important heroes and villains very regularly. Before someone gets on me, I think people like the Bat family and Green Arrow are allowed in these teams is because their skill outmatches nearly everyone else, Spidey has a mixture of skill and power but he's neither skillful enough nor powerful enough to be in a team like the Justice League, at least IMO. I don't know enough about the DCU to go much more in depth than this and I might already have made a mistake but I think Spidey would make some good friends (How many, if any heroes protect New York in the DCU?) and some interesting villains but would wind up being just another hero, no one important.

@Super-Buster: Raw power isn't the be-all-and-end-all in the DCU, or even the Justice League. One issue of JLA (during Morrison's run I think), when they are planning to put the League back together, Batman even makes sure the League isn't too power heavy by blocking heavy hitters in favour of thinkers. Spidey is more powerful than that incarnation of Aquaman and Plastic Man and let's not forget that Spidey is a 'thinker'. If he was a part of the DCU, I'd see him as someone like the Atom or Steel if he where to join the League.

I think you're under-selling Spidey somewhat. Add to that, Marvel has never really left Spidey on a team long enough to take on a Reed Richards role, but he does the science stuff in his own books. Then again, during the build up to Civil War, it looked like Tony Stark wanted him to go in that direction. He is still one of the better scientists on Marvel's list, even though he is eclipsed by Reed and Tony (as most of Marvel's scientists are) in the DCU I think he would be seen more in that role.

By 'thinker', I was also talking about how he uses his powers, having to fight tactically against opponents who are often more powerful than he is. One of the reasons Batman wanted to limit DC's powerhouses is because the League takes on people who are too powerful for even the likes of Superman to beat straight out, in those fights brains can be more of an asset than raw power.

This 'thinker' stuff you're talking about is why I think he could work well on the science police (present, I wasn't thinking Legion). And just something I thought was on topic.

if he did

then i stop reading DC

Man you really don't like Spidey.

If my opinion I think he do just as good as in Marvel. I'm not saying this because I am a Die-hard Spidy fan, but it's because of what I know of him. He's powerful (What truely defines powerful? How much raw power you have? Or how much you know how to use it?), smart (He's under batman, but he has a lot of Book smarts and street smarts. But, he does have a lot of potential to be as smart as batman), and he's one of nicest heroes out there. (Like, Nightwing nice {I say that because I agree with other perople comment}) I can see him being on the JLA. I honestly can. Super-buster, he does have a lot of skill. His skill is in knowing how to use his powers. Not only that, but his powers are powerful on their own. You say Batman skill outmatched a lot of other people, but it didn't outmatched Spidy in his Crossover with Batman. He literally threw batman and made him land on his butt.

 i supose he became he will be good friends with with orginal titans same age etc

I am not a spidey fanboy at all. I like the guy as much as other icon heros but I get tired of him. As far as this issue goes I think he would fit just fine.  He would be Just like a Nightwing minus the great leadership. His relationship with other heros would be great his networking would also make him very important. He would A great asset to the JLA if batman is not there. But yeah I can agree that hes not the top choice for the JLA based on the core roster of that team. I mean spiderman is strong enough to lift a car he can swing and spin webs and has spider sense. Hes not the best fighter. So while a the arrows cant do halef the stuff he can thier better on the JLA because they do one thing WELL.  And realisticly you cant helo but want and need a marksmen on the team. hell that skill is something that even superman cant pull off. nor wonderwoman nor batman thus their place on the team is justified.  He would be perfect for the outsiders or the JSA  and of course he would run into batman ALOT being a street hero

Kyle Rayner was based in NYC, Nightwing is currently and the JSA has their HQ there. I'm sure there are others.

It would only be a matter of time before someone like Mr Terrific (since he's in NY) would realise that his webbing was artificial or one of the JSA teamed up with him. The JSA exists to train new heroes, so assuming he was always part of the DCU, there would be a good chance he'd start his career with them. Thinking about it, there's more chance he'd be in the JSA than in the Titans who were (in the early days) mostly sidekicks. Remember, Spidey is a loner partly because in the Marvel Universe, heroes aren't as trusted as they are in the DCU, there isn't a J. Jonah Jameson to persecute him either.

I didn't know these guys lived in New York, hmm... Still, in Marvel Spider-Man is able to hang with the icons like Cap, Wolverine and the FF in terms of both powers and popularity. Would this be the same in DC? Would the Trinity be made to include Spider-Man? Would he even be as important as heroes like Flash and Green Lantern? Would there be a DC team-up series in which Spider-Man teams up with virtually every hero in DC? Because that's how he is in Marvel. He might join a team, I don't know (It just doesn't seem in his nature to me.) he might be accepted as a decent super-hero, I just believe he is meant for Marvel, DC could go on without him.

Part of the reason for all that is Spidey is far and away Marvel's most popular and well known character, so of course he's been teamed up with just about everybody at some point. I don't think he'd be seen in the same light as the Big 3, but his popularity, in the comics, could still be fairly high. Technically, he's not that popular within the Marvel Universe so in that sense he'd probably be more popular, especially in NY. I don't know how long he'd be on any DC team either, but he has stayed with the Avengers a while. I don't think that he's adverse to joining teams, just that there has always been reasons not too in the past.

Of course he is meant for Marvel, he was created by Stan Lee (though other Ditko creations are scattered about DC) and of course DC could go on without him, it already is.

Well that's what I'm saying, I've been talking about real world popularity as well as within the universes. Even within the universes everyone knows Spider-Man and, to a degree, everyone respects him as well. In DC I don't think he would be anything special, just another, possibly decent character especially if he moves to DC without his supporting cast and rogue gallery. I don't know with Spider-Man and teams, it might be interesting.

i think spidey would befriend flash and beast boy...i could also see him joining the teen titans

.........no bashing web head today..

that being said...i think he will do good in DC,as good as he is in marvel.

Who would be Spider-Man's love intrest if he lived in the DC Universe.
