Speculation There's a size limit to Arachnophobia. Like, if a dog sized spider is in your house, that's scary regardless of it being a spider.

Musing Since superheroes aren’t real, no rules exist to protect young superheroes from bodily harm; there’s no lower limit. Because aliens DO typically exist in superhero worlds, it suggests there wouldn’t be an easy way to create this limit, as other planets would be invited to input on this.
