Kilroy, you're forgetting one of the most important things about Campbell's work: The hero is thrust into the adventure, he doesn't seek it out. This is definitely true of Peter Parker - he didn't wish to be bitten by a radioactive spider and get superpowers, and when he did he didn't want to be a superhero until that was, well, thrust onto him.

"With great power comes great responsibility" is a rather apt description of the hero's journey.
