    nope. Tom Broovert from marvel said that its a combination of that Peter doesnt remember that he actually has them 
    and he hasnt been pit against the kind of opponent that his upper level powers come out against. he just doesnt
    know they are even there to access them as a result of the constant illusion. there never was a retcon. everything 
    happened  and a few characters remember continuity. Peter and many others are just seeing a constant state of
    illusion, hence he still has his power upgrades from The Other.

    @Silver2467: 
    yes, he has to " unlock " or better yet rediscover them, much like his own life.
    and i liked it as well. granted some of the individual writing in the BND stories was lacking,
    the overall concept wasnt terrible, and the book was in not only bad need of a fresh direction, 
    but ways to reset the classic aspects of the character, things the readers also demanded for 
    years prior to it. strange how people complain about what they have because they dont have what
    they dont, then when they get what they dont they complain about that as well. lol.

    Anything having to with JMS was sorta dumb, imo. It seemed to jump the shark a lot. A LOT.  And his Spidey really wasn't that funny, from the comics I've read.... it was more serious....
     
    Not that he's a bad writer....

    Personally I loved Civil war I JUST HATED how JMS backed the story in a corner forcing marvel to the pull the Mephistopheles card. I want to old spider-man back the organic web shooters, the 2 ton lift etc.

    The powers in brand new day  makes him in a way kind of invincible, AND THAT'S JUST NOT SPIDER MAN!!!
     
    A decade of character development down the toilet! Peter Parker going from a nerd living in the basement of his aunt having to hide his identity of spider-man from aunt may and Mary Jane peter to being a well respected A-list superhero who is well respected in the comic book community as well in the superhero community from getting beat up by rhino, and shocker to being able to hold his own against iron-man, and Captain America. To me Spider-man was a prime example of character development , but now all that is down the drain!!!  Now we're back in the basement now we're back to no MJ, and Pete, and to me that's a feat worth firing. I don't know maybe a asshole or maybe I'm passionate about Spidey take your pick. Just my opinion

    i was arguing with my two best friends the other day about who they thought was the most powerful superheroe in marvel which was spiderman. i was thinking they were crazy to think that spiderman was the best superhero, but then they told me that spiderman had metamorphosed and became the most powerful superhero in marvel even more powerful than the hulk and thor . i was wonder if this is true or not can any comic book expert help me.

    The most powerful of course not..... but imo he's the best...=].... as joshmightbe said spidey become really powerful but not in Thor's level... maybe they confused him with cosmic spidey...=]

    ok thanks for the info guys. i have nothing against spider-man he's definitly one of my favorite super heroes. the thing is though, one of the main reason why i like spider-man is because he's not the best, but he goes up agianst opponents who are better than him and still beats them by figuring out ways other than brute strength. and thats awsome

    So he still has his old powers? That's cool but how does he not know he doesn't have organic webbing?

    That doesn't make sense to me.
    Pete sems to remember just about every thng else pre BND.
    When he went on an adventure with the FF and the identity issue came up it seemed to me as though he remembered every thing.
