    Title says it all. Also what other crazy parkour/agility feats can he perform?

    Just to let you know, I am going to digress a little; Ghost Rider's motorcycle can go up on walls too.

    @ascended: that's probably due to rider's mystical nature. I was only asking about spidey because he always seems to climb walls instead

    @jay_z94: spiderman usually crawls cause its mostly safer,gravity will push dow on him if he stands and if neither of his feet arent touching the ground he will fall, also crawling is better for stealth

    @gamiz7: Ok fair enough, i knew that spidey's feet can attach to walls but i wanted to know whether he has the speed/power to run against gravity. Has he done it in the comics, because i know he can in games.

    It would be so much cooler if he ran up walls most of the time in the comics rather than climb them, lol

    i suppose it does make sense since his feet can stick to walls but was unsure to whether he has the speed/power to do so

    @w0nd: Thanks. Spiderman does run up walls quite a few times in films, cartoons and video games, but I haven't seen him do it in comics

    I know in the games he does. I haven't read a ton of Spider-Man comics but from the ones I read, he hasn't done that.

    @jay_z94: Really? Considering he's stronger than the average person (obviously) and he's been depicted as doing it you'd think he'd do it in fights. But like the guy above mentioned, it's probably tricky since he has to make sure one of his feet are touching the surface.

    @w3bst3r: Hmmm well if he used enough force to propel himself with each step i'm sure he can handle gravity for a few milliseconds

    @jay_z94: Agreed. About my fight comment though, it's an incredibly compromising position so that could also be why he doesn't do it very often.

    @w3bst3r: Yeah that is true, I suppose the only purpose running would hold is just to scale vertical surfaces faster, while crawling is better for stealth, safety and fighting

    @jay_z94: He probably incorporates it into his web-slinging when times is of the essence.

    He can do better than that, he slide on walls while carrying MJ on his back.

    @jay_z94: Interesting point of view, but I always see it as if Spidey is grinding down the wall. Its like sliding on a snowboard, but without the board and the wall is the snow..

    If he did it more often in the comics imagine how much quicker he could cover distances, taking into account the fact that his speed and agility is in the top range of characters in all of fiction.
