So yep, it is stupid as well, but we are in Marvel.
 * Gamma radiations aren't green.
 * Having one different gene doesn't make you from a new species, and doesn't grant you optic blasts, fully developed avian physiology or teleportation abilities.
 * When you are frozen, you're dead.
 * Ionic radiations, cosmic or radioactive will kill you as well.

But the idea of Spider-Man wasn't the worth: Radiations makes the DNA mutate, allowing spider's DNA strands to insert. No it doesn't really work that way, but still. Comics.
