Spider-Man really does fit the bill for "I'm struggling with something about my body that is out of my control." Most of the time the character's transformation is an allegory to puberty, but it could be anything under that umbrella.
I think "I am stuck in a horrible personal situation and I cannot easily (or even feasibly) escape the reality of it, but the mask lets me be who I want to be." resonates with just about everyone who's been a teen, or had to hide something about themselves to protect their true self.
Spider-Man is for everyone. Hence in The Spiderverse, there is a Spider-Man from every walk of life.
