It is certainly a weak analogy, but only because of Spiderman's lack of consciousness and ability to "decide." The point is though, a creation cannot decide whether or not it's creator exists. I'm not sure how you intended the original statement, but it was worded in such a way as to imply we have some choice in the matter. Obviously, if Spiderman did have some form of consciousness, it would seem pretty stupid for him to deny Stan Lee's existence.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say in the last two sentences.
