This line of thought just doesn't work for comics, as even the human street levellers are functionally superhuman, and only that way is them taking on hordes of enemies and crime families justified.
Eg. Daredevil has bullet-timed multiple times, and flipped a limo, but then the writers go overboard, with DD speedblitzing Spider Man to KO and decapitating Ultron with a stick.
However, the street leveller who has most benefited from this is Spider Man, who imo has the largest number of times got better of characters he has no business of doing so, and the writers even emphasize on it, making the more powerful character look bad.
Eg. After the issue where Spidey fights Surfer, Surfer mentions in his solo series that he was battling for his life against Spider Man. As if realistically Spidry could do anything to Surfer that would be fatal.
And then there is the whole not Hulk not Thor could do x thing he keeps saying before doing something difficult, which results in loony fans like here

That's why I enjoy stuff like Marvel Team-Up #27 where Hulk easily catches Spider Man, does even acknowlede his,.walks through his attacks like nothing, before oneshotting him when he has had enough
