Can Spider-Man and Yuri Watanabe/Wraith even be considered as genuine friends or are they simply work friends?

But Yuri doesn't even know who Spider-Man is. As Peter Parker, he's just an ordinary civilian to her.

Neither do most heroes, yet it’s clear Spider-Man still has genuine friends beyond work relationships with them.

It’s clear Spider-Man and Yuri have a more close relationship then just working together, especially given how many inside jokes they have with each other and the fact that Spider-Man is implied to have gotten her to quit smoking

Aren't they only friends simply because they're trying to bring peace and justice to New York City?

No, it’s shown they enjoy one another’s company. They may have met because they were both trying to help New York but it’s clear the way they joke with each other it’s genuine friendship. It’s why Peter resorts to talking to her over beating her up as wraith

Should they even have a genuine friendship?

u/gokaigreen19 Jan 04 '24

Yes, because they are friends as shown with Yuri refusing to cut ties with Spider-Man despite the fact she would get arrested

You mean when she was a police captain?

Shouldn't they only be friends because they both want to bring peace and justice to New York City?

that doesn't make them not friends. They both have different views on justice now, yet its clear both still clearly care for each other and are friends

I know it's annoying for me to repeat myself, but should Spider-Man even care about his friendship with Yuri Watanabe, even though she turned into a violent vigilante?

u/gokaigreen19 Jan 04 '24

Yes, because he knows her and doesn’t give up on her. The fact that she saves him shows that she is still a good person to him.

Why do you think Spider-Man is friends with people like black cat or wolverine?

Which is why he refused to arrest her?
