The Avengers are Earth's mightiest heroes and foremost super-team... "There came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born - to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand! Heed the call, then - for now, the Avengers Assemble!"
I haven't been keeping up with Avengers recently but the recent development in Superior Spider-man 6 made me question whether what happens in issue 7 will have any effect on the upcoming Avengers issues. I know its continuing for at least 2-3 issues in Superior.
@ChaosMarvel: Really? Glad I didn't read that. Sounds like garbage. What is the point of a team to take on colossal threats if one hero can bring them down. Why not just throw spider man at Galactus or thanos.

Otto Octavius (current Spider-man) took the Avengers on in Ends Of The Earth with prep and ended up putting them all under mind control using octo-bots. I think thats what Chaos is referring too. Otto just wasn't Spider-man at the time but I guess all his past feats as a villain still count as he is the same person.

So basically what you're saying is the Avengers should be invulnerable and just have horribly writing where they never lose to anyone?
@Teerack: Wow, twist words much? I never said anything of the sort. I said a team dedicated to global/universal threats shouldn't be taken down by spider-man.

But the Avengers usually beat all of their big enemies by planning. It makes a lot of sense for them to be beaten by someone who has a good plan. I mean you could really say the same thing the opposite way. Thanos and Kovac shouldn't be taken down by some humans and an Asgardian.
Now I'm actually really excited for Superior Spider-Man.
Jump on board. Spock is way cooler than I thought he'd be. Spider-Man has been around for over half a decade and this is honestly a story I've never read involving him before. Can't say that very often.
@clark_el:Yeah, lightning strike wouldn't be quickly avoided. Too bad the Avengers don't have anyone with mental powers. As smart as Parker and SpOck are, I don't think they're really prepared for any type of mindblast.
I always hated when the made one character fight the Avengers, because you know there is always one that could easily take him alone. Ock shouldn't even be able to beat Spider-Woman let alone hold his own with an Avengers team.

I feel he could beat Spider-Woman with his standard gear (maybe its the fan-boy in me), but as for the rest of the points you make, agreed.

Yeah you think they would have recruited a telepath after AvX. Like maybe Madelyne Pryor or something.

To be honest I think Slott severely downplayed Spider-man when he lost his spider-sense. Jess doesn't have a ton of great feats against people in Spider-mans league. in fact the best feats Jess had were when the skrull Queen took her place. She was beats then and I was pretty pissed when it turned out those great feats weren't even her. Even without his spider-sense Parker is still physically superior to Jess in almost every aspect. In fact given the morals difference between SpOck and Parker I would say Ock would have an easier time taking down Jess than Parker would.

I think Spider-Man has been getting downplayed his entire existence, with or without spider-sense, but I don't think if he had it against Jessica he'd be able to beat her. Jessica's best feats weren't when Queen Veranke took her place, although considering Veranke was just a copy of Jessica, those feats belong to her. Her best feats are from her solo series and considering that Jessica herself is on Spider-Man's level, her villains were made to match her, so I think she has plenty of feats. Also Spider-Man whether it be Ock or Parker has no immunity to pheromones. Ock's lack of morals won't change anything. She's a better fighter and basically has the power to control him.
@vance_astro: Imo they were from Veranke. In her solo series her best feat was taking out Taskmaster and those HYDRA agents with that venom blast. All in all she wasn't all that impressive. Verenke on the other-hand beat the crap out of Logan IIRC, was able to hypnotize one of the wrecking crew (don't remember which) and seemed a lot more in control of her powers in general. I can't see how a comparison can be made between her and Pete when I can't think of anything that puts her on Spider-man's level of speed, strength, agility or experience.
Spider-sense seems to have a good track record against pheromones. Prior to Verenke using them they were never able to actually hypnotize someone hence the reason i'm disinclined to use her as Jess' feats as she displayed things Jess wasn't capable of.

1.Skrull copies were exactly that copies. Veranke was identical to Jessica in every way. It was the same for Pym & Mar-Vell.
2.That wasn't her solo series, that was her origin miniseries, Spider-Woman Vol.1 I believe is 38 issues long and Vol.2 I believe is only like 12 because Maleev was burnt out.
3.Veranke didn't beat the crap out of Logan, she was startled when he was behind her so she shoved his claw into his throat. You don't think Jessica could have done that?
4.She hypnotized the Wrecker, the strongest member of the Wrecking Crew using pheromones, which is one of Jessica's abilities.
5.She may have seem more in control because you're comparing her showings in New Avengers to her showings in her mini where she was just getting used to her powers.
6.Spider-Man was there when she used her pheromones on the Wrecker. All of the Avengers were effected by it.
7.Pheromones have been used like that before Veranke used them. What she did to the Wrecker was make him feel an overwhelming feeling of love which is why he didn't attack her. She explains after Cage knocks him into Spidey's web. Cage & Wolverine also mention being effected by the pheromones. I know it was love that she was manipulating because Cage says "But I love my wife!"
8.Spider-Man's speed & agility are superhuman, same as Jessica's. He's not a speedster, so I doubt and superhuman agility doesn't have levels for skilled acrobats the way strength and speed would have levels. You agility is either regular human,olympic,peak or superhuman that's it.
To show you she's not slow this is Joystick vs. Speed Demon and then Jessica vs. Joystick..
1.Skrull copies were exactly that copies. Veranke was identical to Jessica in every way. It was the same for Pym & Mar-Vell.
The same way Ben Reilly was identical to Peter but still had a more creative way of using his abilities and standard gear. Just because you're made in the same base image it doesn't necessarily you can't be better than the original in some aspects.
2.That wasn't her solo series, that was her origin miniseries, Spider-Woman Vol.1 I believe is 38 issues long and Vol.2 I believe is only like 12 because Maleev was burnt out.
Ah My mistake for some reason my mind was on that for some reason.
3.Veranke didn't beat the crap out of Logan, she was startled when he was behind her so she shoved his claw into his throat. You don't think Jessica could have done that?
Well considering the fight did go beyond a simple ambush yes.
4.She hypnotized the Wrecker, the strongest member of the Wrecking Crew using pheromones, which is one of Jessica's abilities.
I am aware that her pheromones can be used to this effect but I believe humans have resisted Jess's pheromones in the past. There's this scan of her doing it to some policemen and them managing to snap out of it thats running round my head. I'll try and dig it out. While it is something she can accomplish I don't think using Veranke feats for Jess really apply as I explained in the first point.
5.She may have seem more in control because you're comparing her showings in New Avengers to her showings in her mini where she was just getting used to her powers.
Aside from the Veranke ones I don't recall many showings Jess has so its pretty hard to compare them.
6.Spider-Man was there when she used her pheromones on the Wrecker. All of the Avengers were effected by it.
True but it doesn't have the same damaging effects as say Daken's that actually distort your sense of perception. I'll address what I mean but this in the next point as they both sort of tie in.
7.Pheromones have been used like that before Veranke used them. What she did to the Wrecker was make him feel an overwhelming feeling of love which is why he didn't attack her. She explains after Cage knocks him into Spidey's web. Cage,Wolverine, & Spider-Man also mention being effected by the pheromones.
There is a very big difference between using them on wrecker and using them on Spider-man. Spider-man's spider-sense reacts to danger. Even if Jessica makes him fall in love with her his spider-sense would still force him to avoid her attacks due to the fact Spider-man's spider-sense overrides his mind. He's stated on numerous occasions that he has to force himself not to obey his spider-sense when he has too and its hard to do at that. As it automatically force him to move to danger whether he knows what it is or not as it shows in these to images:
Heck even Mary Jane has tripped off his spider-sense as has Tony Stark and all Tony was doing was trying to put his hand on his shoulder and Peter's reflexes kicked in:
Granted this was just after the "Other" so Pete was a little on edge however the point still stands. Tony obviously wasn't trying to hurt Peter in the slightest and yet his spider-sense still kicked in.
We've seen his spider-sense work through Daken's pheromones so even thought Jess's work differently I see no reason why his reflexes would not go into auto-pilot every time she throws a punch. Even if he's desperately in love with her we've seen Spider-man's spider-sense can and will over-ride his reactions especially if his mind is focused on swooning over Jess and not force-fully stopping his spider-sense.
Throw in the fact that his speed and spider-sense allow him to pull moves like this:
I find it very hard to believe that Jess is going to land a square hit.
8.Spider-Man's speed & agility are superhuman, same as Jessica's. He's not a speedster, so I doubt and superhuman agility doesn't have levels for skilled acrobats the way strength and speed would have levels. You agility is either regular human,olympic,peak or superhuman that's it.
True but there are still different levels of it. For example Daredevil has super-human agility but I would still rank Parker above him due to more impressive feats.
To show you she's not slow this is Joystick vs. Speed Demon and then Jessica vs. Joystick..
Joy Stick got taken out easily by Ben Reilly despite the fact he was confirmed to be less experienced with his powers than Pete and continuously made jokes about himself being out of shape (due to those 8 years of not using his powers). She has been easily taken out by both Ben and Jess that Speed-Demon feat seems to be someone high-balling her for plot-purposes.
Well at least someone is finally catching on to his completely obvious behaviour. As if the love of his life wouldn't be able to notice a difference in him :P

Superior Spider-Man 2 was literally the worst Spider-Man comic I have ever read after OMD. I don't own the 90s Clone Saga or Sins Past and I think they're worse but in terms of the stories I own, that's one of the worst Spider-Man stories I have.

I mean, it's not terrible by any means but it rips on continuity and character logic in every sense. SpOck was calling Mary-Jane "woman" for the entirety of issue 700 and she didn't take ANY notice to that? C'mon Slott you're drunk, go home!

That's why I didn't like it. The person who knows Peter best doesn't know when something's up? Utterly ridiculous. And I used to really like Slott's Spider-Man writing too.

Well, I still like Slott's writing but in terms of current Spider-Man writers, he's at the bottom of the list for me. Both Bendis and Yost are doing better in my honest opinion.

Yeah I do too. But I wouldn't mind Yost taking over as Spider-Man writer. He's killing it on Avenging.
@lvenger: He's doing a great job so far indeed! But honestly, I'm inclined to say I'd like to see Bendis take the reins as he recently wrote one of the best Spider-Man stories I've read to date.
@vance_astro: Cushti! I'll probably make it now but I probably won't be able to partake until Saturday (Friday at the earliest) but that'll give you time to look over the op and tell if there's anything you want changing or don't agree with.

Well this feud with the Avengers doesn't end after issue 8! In July Yost takes the fight to the Avengers again:
This July, fan favorite writer Chris Yost pairs up with red-hot artist David Lopez to bring fans Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #1! This all-new ongoing, launching during Superior Spider-Month, gives fans a whole new look into the world of Superior Spider-Man, great for lapsed and new readers alike!
There’s only one thing that’s on the mind of the Superior Spider-Man when he encounters the heroes of the Marvel Universe…how can he beat them?! First on his list? The Avengers! Everything changes as Superior Spider-man cuts loose.
“Superior Spider-Man Team Up #1 takes fans across the entire Marvel Universe and pits Superior Spider-Man against heroes and foes you wouldn’t necessarily think he’d rub shoulders with,” explains Stephen Wacker, Senior Editor, Marvel Entertainment. “More and more people in the Marvel Universe are starting to sense a change in Spider-Man, and being able to see Chris put Spidey in those situations is going to have my inbox full of team-up requests! (So stay strong Songbird fans!”)
This July, Superior Spider-Month turns it up a notch as Yost and Lopez let loose in Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #1!
It's like Batman in tower of Babel....contingency plans MADAFAKKA!!! MWAHAHAHAHA... but yeah seriously though, without Prep, i can see Spock taking out Cap, Spider woman?, Widow and wolvey (already beat his butt in Avengng Spidey i believe), he'll likely run away from Thor i guess.
Also, what are the chances of Bendis writing a 616 spiderman title? how many books is he on already? 4 to 6? more idk about probably
