Thor's father Odin is mostly a good father. Iron Man's father, though he failed, tried to be good, and if I remember Iron Man II was about the reconciliation of father and son. Batman's father was good.<br /><br />No, I don't think Spiderman is the lone exception in displaying the importance of fathers.
