    Spider-Man

    Character » Spider-Man appears in 17242 issues.

    Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.

    Has the "With great power" series ever been referred to again?

    This might sound stupid a lot of people hated With Great Power , but I was wondering if any other writer has ever addressed Peter's retconned "first love" Tiffany? The sleazy middle-aged woman who took advantage of him when he was a wrestler and he lost his virginity to? 
     
    I know a lot of people found that retcon hideous and disrespectful but i actually really loved the idea that his "first love" was monstrous and thought it was interesting

    haha. yeah. It happened in a miniseries from a few years back focusing on his wrestling days. he was taken advantage of by a sleazy cougar who was also "managing" his career. if i recall she had a pimp or a drug dealer set up various crimes for spider-man to benefit from stopping. Peter was young and thought he was in love and i think they slept together at one point, but it's been a long time since i read it...  it was silly and serious big retcon... that i thought was interesting idea but understand if it's been rightfully forgotten by all.

    @X35: Yes, but apparently this Marvel Knights series isn't canon.

    Or something.

    Even if it "is" canon, it's not.

    Because that's an insanely stupid plot and I hate it and everyone with half a brain who likes Spider-man should hate it.

    Btw is there actually a statement or an interview where it says this isn't canon, or is it rather just common sense and taste and decency making you say its not canon?

    To my knowledge its not canon (fortunately) that's probably why it hasn't been referred to.

    I remember reading this book, and I really hated it. All the characters seemed off and they looked really ugly (and uncle Ben had a mustache !!!)

    Peter Parker
    Peter Parker
    Ben Parker
    Ben Parker
    Flash Thompson
    Flash Thompson
    Liz Allan
    Liz Allan

    There are really good books set in Spidey's early career (Amazing Fantasy 16-18, Untold Tales of Spider-Man) but that's the worst I've ever read! There is no way this story could be canon!

    I've read this book some years ago and I'm pretty sure he didn't lost his virginity to Tiffany.

    HOWEVER !!!

    @hectorsquall: It wasn't that bad (and Liz Allan looks good)... 
     
    I just remember a bit where you saw outside of Tiffany's apartment after a scene there was creeking sound effects as Tiffany exclaimed "you know how to treat a girl right!!!".

    @X35: I edited my previous post with the scan but I'm pretty sure it wasn't with Tiffany.

    Tiffany: You stood me up you bad boy. I had the afternoon of your life planned, darling. But that's your loss.

    Yep, Gwen and Peter never slept together. When Gwen and Norman's kids showed up with superpowers, Peter had to get Gwen's DNA to test their idenities with since he knew it wasn't his because he had never slept with Gwen. It's what proved to Gwen's daughter that Peter wasn't their dad.
