Invincible has a decent bit of this through the comics. Like Spider-Man, some of the recurring themes Mark has is superhero life vs trying to have a normal life.

Invincible has always been a poor man's spider-man with an off brand Superman as his dad.

Spider-Man is not invited unless it's for benefical causes
Reason? His Spider-Sense actually works when playing poker and he has even defeated Kingpin with it3

The funniest part is that his Spider-Sense mostly only triggers around people and events Peter would perceive as threatening. But the Thing (as well as the others I assume) don't know that. So it ends up being yet another ironic tragedy in Peter's life that he wouldn't be able to cheat at their poker game.

The real reason he wants to rule all of existence. He needs to find the universe’s conformist chair/couch.

All his attempts to invade Earth masks his true objective: window shopping for a nice recliner

Bullseye indeed is insane at golf, the problem is that he was hired as a golf coach, and he just sucks at teaching.

Super-stability is one of his powers, makes sense when he carries others that can’t fly

This happens a lot on Doom Patrol, though that’s partially because someone like Negative Man can’t take off his costume.

Don't remember the episode name, but that time in the Justice League animated series when Batman went to a convenience store to buy coffee

The Episode was "Only a Dream" and he was trying to stay awake as a pretty terrifying version of Doctor Destiny was taking out the League in their sleep.

Spider-Man Eating/Drinking (Various Spider-Man Media) - A common motif in a lot of Spider-Man media is showing Peter/Miles eating or drinking with their mask still on at times. Pizza seems to appear in a lot of his media given most of his stories take place in NYC, with the occasional coffee or burger. For specific examples: Peter/Miles drinking coffee upside down with their mask on (Miles Morales Playstation game), Peter taking a break to eat a pepperoni pizza (first Insomniac Spidey game), Peter drinking a coffee in Frank's hideout (Brand New Day), Peter B. eating a burger with his costume under his coat (Into the Spider-Verse) and others are probably out there especially in the comics. There's also the pizza delivery scenes in Spider-Man 2 (and its tie-in game) and the various collabs Sony/Marvel have done with nationwide pizza chains like Pizza Hut for Homecoming and Little Caesar's this year for BND.
Peacemaker Eating at a Diner (Peacemaker TV Series) - When his team meets at a diner to discuss their next steps, Chris shows up in his full Peacemaker suit as it's a uniform in his eyes. While everyone else is in civilianwear, Peacemaker looks like he stepped out of a WWII USO show.

Isn't the second one just an ad? I know that the main show is technically an ad for toys, but that's different. The video is just for an ad as far as I know, but I might be wrong.

I love the Spiderman PS1 game scenes because Punisher accuses Daredevil of looking at his cards.
Daredevil is blind.

In an episode of Peacemaker, Peacemaker meets up with his team in full costume. Helmet included.
In the same episode Vigilante cleans Peacemaker's trailer while in full costume.
