Thing is, if you learn over time to modulate your muscular force, you become good at judging how much force will do what. So Spidey should be able to hit, kick, or push someone just hard enough to get the job done. Ock in Peter’s body smashed Mac Gargan’s jaw clean off. But the panel is from 1968, and Peter would still have been 15-16-ish, so it makes sense to me. I’m just saying, Kingpin-wise, those days are long past.
I think ‘all the pressure I can’ means ‘all the pressure I can without taking his head off’! Some people have complained that Spider-Man holding back when fighting Kingpin is a retcon, but it’s one that makes too much sense to not be the case, honestly.
It’s long been established that Spidey is always pulling his punches and holding back on his strength when fighting people (especially those without powers) because if he used his full strength he would probably kill them with one punch. I think in the Amazing Fantasy 16-18 mini-series the first time he punched someone he used his full strength and almost killed them, and he was horrified.
Didn’t Spider-man once catch an airplane? ** Ah, here we go: https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/7/72524/3750840-9054649110-33811.jpg
Considering that Spidey was for a short time able to hold up the Daily Bugle at its corner, he ought to be able to break any bone in Fisk’s body. Maybe Fisk or Ox could be a threat when Spidey was a teen, but Back in Black demonstrated that Spidey could kill Fisk any time Spidey wanted.
