EMO stands for EMONTIONALY HARDCORE- not making this up. EMO people get on my nerves, they are soo useless.
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.
Is Spider-Man emo?
No he is not emo, Thats when you are overly emotional and never happy. Spidey is non of those and he emotional for reasons that seem reasonable.
"Charmcaster said:that's from the fallen son arc....at that point aunt may wasn't going to live and captain america had just died....he had every right to be emotional"Gambler says:
"* Dressed in all Black * Standing in the Rain * In a Cemetery If this ain't Emo I don't know what is.

LMAO I'm pretty sure people call him emo cause he's always whining. If he's not crying over Mary Jane then he's crying over Uncle Ben. If he's not crying over Uncle Ben then he's crying over Aunt May. The dude is always crying about something (and I dont mean literal tears either) I'm sure some of it has to do with the reaction of the Spideman fan when someone calls him emo. I know thats how this thread got started. Nice to see it still going.

"that's from the fallen son arc....at that point aunt may wasn't going to live and captain america had just died....he had every right to be emotional"Yeah I know what arc its from. Doesn't change the fact that the scene is set up to be emo. Its raining, he's at Uncle Ben's grave (yet again), he's dressed in black, and he's crying. I didn't see any other heroes portrayed this way. Its not like he's at Cap's actually funeral. He's standing in a grave yard in the middle of a rain storm feeling sorry for himself.

"Every street level hero in Marvel does this...but Spider-Man seems to be the only one people get on about it."Cause he does it all the time? And whats wrong with him being emo? Why is it so hard for fans to accept?

"EDIT:Being emo isn't cool...at all.That isn't why i'm tired of it though.It's like even when Spider-Man isn't being emo..people are still on him about it.Anything that gets overused pisses me off.Like how people assume everyone who can fly will just throw someone into the sun in a fight."

Well apparently if you wear black to a funeral or weep when you lose a close one to your fathers dad or a robber you could've stopped then you are emo. Thats stupid.
"This should be the best place to ask these questions.
Why being an emo is concidered a bad thing?
Why the word emo is viewed as an insulting word?
Why emo equals suicidal in some peoples eyes?
EMO-
WHY IS EMO INSULTING?
WHY IS EMO ASSOCIATED WITH SUICIDE?
WHAT IS EMO REALLY?
SO IS SPIDER-MAN EMO?
Your trying to match the literal definition of Emo to Spiderman lmao of course it doesn't match. When you call someone an @$$hole your not Literally saying their an @$$hole. Or when you call someone a b!tch or muther--------- your not literally saying they $#@! mothers. Come on Vance, your reaching. The reason people call Spiderman emo is because of the way he's portayed. He's always sad or depressed about something, more so then other heroes he associates with. Its part of his character and because of that alot of people call him emo. Emo is short for Emotional, Spiderman is pretty freakin emotional ;)

"Sorry, but this sounds fairly "cool" to me.WHAT IS EMO REALLY?
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle."
" BATMAN IS NOT GAY DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!LOL I have proof. No seriously, I know he's not but it doesn't stop people from saying he is.

Spider-Man is Emo in every reality that has ever existed. It's like Peter and all of his counterparts are cursed or something. See?

As you can clearly see...Pete's got a lot of problems no matter what reality he lives in and always tends to act...Emo and he doesn't stop either. He just keeps on being Emo all day, every day. Maybe someone needs to like...impale him with a Goblin Glider or something.

It's called geek chic, and believe it or not, it's huge. Whether I'm "emo" or not doesn't make a difference, does it?WHAT IS EMO REALLY?

well to be fair Spider-man is supposed to be relatable, with so many emos he needs to meet a new public...

Are you really trying to compare real life to comicbooks? LOL okay Vance.
"@ Gambler: Would you call Batman emo too?I personally think he is. Maybe more so then Spiderman even. I dont think Spiderman or Batman being emo is a bad thing, it is what it is.
