Punisher you never learned about Owl’s penthouse. Only thing you learned is that is apparently supposed to meet Spider-Man at midnight.

It's not that kind of test.
Didn't some other rich dude pull a very similar trick on Spider-Man recently (in our re-reading)?

And didn't Spider-Man just smash through the floor?

Punisher runs into Raskin and his goons, still climbing the stairs and repeatedly loading their guns, years later.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?

Lol, I missed that one but the floor was the first thing I thought of too. I figure The Owl would probably just start bragging about his custom steel floors, though, he seems to be surprisingly up on his game for someone we learned existed five minutes ago.

The Owl has not really made any big mistakes. He’s mainly just unlucky here, in that letting that goon fall would have been a better idea.

That may have been his plan with the letter, but that seems to have gone to the wayside given that Spider-Man got told where his house is and broke into it.

Why did he reveal that he was the assassin? Why isn't he trying to kill Peter yet?

I can only assume that being in the same room as Peter drained his intelligence down to critically low levels

He can afford to be this cocky cause apparently he uses rope so strong, Spider-man can't tear free, even though he can bend steel bars and break out of handcuffs no problem.

I think old Spidey has just become savvy to the fact that the villians are never going to kill him no matter what. No sense interrupting their self-sabotage while he learns their evil plot.

I guess he doesn't have a silencer on his (i could totally be wrong i barely know anything about guns) semi-automatic rifle? so it's best not to use it on Peter until the job's done, but hold on, Peter could just scream for help for the couple hours the guy will be out doing assassination chores unless he also gags him. Dude should've told all the crooks in NYC about this high quality rope, I'm sure The Owl would've appreciated it.

You know, when this storyline started, my immediate assumption for where it was going was 'JJJ foists Jeremy off onto Pete to get him out of his hair and Pete has to spend the day babysitting him, turns into a comedy of errors when he has to ditch him and change to Spidey while still keeping an eye on him'. I don't think I would have guessed anywhere close to where this was going.

Spidey could literally just shoot his web between the bars to haul Owl directly over to him and threaten violence on him at close proximity till he lets him out!

Also I hope when The Owl had the bars installed, the guys who put it in were begging him to let them install multiple different cages since otherwise he'd have to rely on an intruder happening to walk up to EXACTLY that one single spot to get caught, but he was too savvy for their attempts to pad their invoices!

Maybe the floor is actually completely covered in cages and he only activated the one Spidey stood on

drat, Pete remembered he had super strength.

So are we supposed to assume that this is somehow all part of the Owls plan to pit these two against each other? I really hope he's just flying around in circles in a panic while screaming about how Spider-Man will be sorry.

I don’t think Owl wanted Spidey to come to his house. Remember this is happening cause a goon he spared tattled on him.

Maybe not to his house, but he did slip a note into the goons jacket implying that he was in communication with Spidey, so I assume that's his hope.

Okay, the last two used Helicopters, but still.

I kind of hope the Punisher winds up missing the final showdown because he had to stop to catch his breath after running up 35 flights of stairs.
