[MCU] Why didn't Tony Stark try to recruit anyone other than Spider-Man?

Seeking someone to help him fight Captain America (and join the Avengers), Tony Stark recruited Spider-Man. At this point, Spidey was only known from a few YouTube videos. Somehow Tony sussed out his identity and recruited him despite being just 15.

Why didn't he try to recruit anyone else? In NYC alone there's Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Daredevil, and the Punisher. All of whom are older and more mature than Peter is, and guard their identities less secretively.

And then, who knows what other heroes there are across the USA that he could have recruited?

Listen, Punisher is a lunatic with a gun, he wouldn't even care about the superhero scuffle. Same with Jessica Jones. Daredevil and Luke Cage likely wouldn't get involved either because it's a conflict amongst people, and those two are more concerned with helping the common man.

Truth is that Tony isn't in the business of starting up a superhero school, especially not for people who are fiercly individuals like those four. And an honest truth is that Peter was recruited because he's an impressionable young man. It has less to do with physical abilities and more to do with whether or not they can follow orders.

Not sure about Iron Fist though. He's not seen as the most mentally stable guy, so that might have something to do with it. Or maybe Stark was watching a bit of his story and stopped halfway through because it was so terrible and boring.
