Spider-Man
Character » Spider-Man appears in 17246 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.
I call BS on the end of ASM #666 (SPOILERS)
... WTF? I loved ASM #666, but this just bothered me. Spidey is so good at using his powers because he's had about five years (In the Marvel Universe) to hone his powers. And I'm supposed to believe that these people, who got their Spider powers under a week ago are already swinging off skyscrapers and doing acrobatics in the air like freaking pros? Maybe I'm nitpicking (Which I have a feeling I am) and maybe I'm not. What do you guys think of this?
Peter has been Spider-Man for MORE than ten years now (Marvel time.) Remember, he was Spider-man BEFORE Franklin Richards was born, and Franklin is ten years old now....
- Peter was web-slinging as soon as he had webs. Now, HE had to invent web shooters, but the ability to stick to walls, and flip around with perfect balance and agility were there from the beginning.
- These people appear to have been 'spiderized' a little more than Peter Parker was when he first became Spider-man. Note, these people can shoot webbing. Peter Parker couldn't for many years. In fact, for some reason, he no longer has that ability. He's still using web shooters... It's 'possible' that these people have a bit more spider in them than even Spider-man does.
I felt the same way about it... Peter may have obtained enhanced reflexes as part of the deal, but how do these people get over the fear, learn timing, and develop the muscle memory to do this.
Spider-powers immediately make you into a boss... no need for honing your skills.
I always thought that the spider powers got rid of fear of heights/vertigo?
Also, lots of people would practice webswinging if they found out they had it, IMO.. I certainly would.
Maybe there's a bunch of bodies of people who failed splattered across windows, and everyone is too excited about their spider powers to notice.
That makes sense, but seriously, I noticed that none of them at all look muscular... A punch to the gut from one of them to spidey really doesn't seem like it'd hurt them. And even then, I'm pretty sure Peter is a know genius, he'd figure out that Anti Venom could just take down all of them with his, "Healing Powers"
