Spider-Man and the Owl go through a window and we get a week of Punisher going back down the stairs.

I hadn't thought about it when it was just the comic strip, but now it feels kinda weird that there *wasn't* Spidey/superhero themed media going on already when he's a regular fixture swinging around fighting crime.

Well, he is a bus-lifting masked vigilante who may be a threat or a menace. It's one thing to sell costumes based on him, it's another thing to try to depict what he's like, or what he's done, without his approval. Sure, JJJ does it all the time, but JJJ has interacted with him personally, and is pretty sure Spidey's not going to punch his jaw off.

Not quite the same situation, but Astro City: Local Heroes #2 is about what happens when a publisher in a Superhero universe publishes comic book storylines about real superheroes fighting villains (and depicting actual events) without licensing deals...or permission.

"I was born with hollow bones!"

Does he also have literally no muscle mass and tiny organs? I don't think hollow bones is going to cut it. That's like, ten percent of his weight.

MonsterEnvy

Shocked I tell you
Yeah in the normal comics it's because of a serum he took.

quote:

The Owl has ingested a special serum which enabled him to naturally glide for short distances, though he has to leap from a height of at least 20 feet (6.1 m) off of the ground to do so. He is able to perform complex midair maneuvers while he glides which would be impossible for ordinary humans. Under the right conditions, such as favorable air currents, the Owl can glide for at least the length of a city block. He uses specially designed capes to help him to do this.

It also made his bones hollow while increasing his muscle strength.

Honestly even if he beats Owl up, does that mean anything. Owl has not done any provable crimes and has the right to defend himself in his own home.

Yes, but would Spider-Man have really left him hanging from a light pole if he hadn't committed some crime? I thought so. . . Off to jail with him, no trial!

I don't know why I took "starring Spider-Man" to mean an actor playing him, not hiring Spidey himself to star in his own show :allears:

But anyway, to get in touch with Spider-Man, obviously you start by staging multiple simultaneous crimes around town, so the police lack the resources needed to respond to all of them.

Actually, you just put an ad on a newspaper. It's worked twice before. But your solution works, too, IF you want Spidey to go visit whatever prison Hammerhand is staying on.

Unfortunately he can't, because as all of you no doubt remember Hammerhand died during his confrontation with Spidey in the woods.

I don't think he mentions him before that goon shouts his name, so that might have been the first time he's heard of him. It's funny to think that our villain for this arc could have remained completely unknown to our heroes if not for one loud mouth grunt.

And then of course leading them right to his home.

I was so thrilled to get to this strip and realize how close we were to Punisher FINALLY realizing his nano-second long dream of discovering what's behind the metal door some guy he never heard of before 5 minutes ago has in his house.
