He’s pretty much in the same place as where he started.
While from a Deconstructionist’s standpoint, that’s what made Spider-Man appealing to begin with, it’s not very good in the long run.
If his villains actually stayed defeated for once, then it wouldn’t be as glaring, but Vulture was practically cured of his cancer because the writers didn’t want to commit to his replacements.
It says a lot when heroic and neutral characters are considered to be worth less than villainous ones.
