No. Definetely not a "huge stretch." And I'd say the opposite, mainstreamers associate The Avengers with Iron Man more than it happens vice versa. After all, for many people, the Avengers are Iron Man and friends, and that's for a reason, because Iron Man is popular alone.

Spider-Man stands for the responsible use of one's talents, do good to the hilt, "always finding a way", etc.

Iron Man stands for humanity's progress, future, self improvement, redemption, etc.

To say that Spider-Man stands for soo much more than Iron Man is the actual huge stretch.
