Still love how zero-effort that "new" costume is. I'd love to see the check Alex Ross got for that.

Since Spider-Man has his Spider-Mobile, it's only fair that Prowler gets one too.

No, Spider-Man is Peter Parker's bodyguard at the moment. Peter Parker being a famous wealthy dude.

No, he's never known.

Spider-man knows Prowler's identity because he unmasked him on their second encounter, but has never told anybody so Prowler still trusts him.

Iron Fist did a stint as fake Daredevil, and he'd be a great candidate for this kind of thing. As fake DD, he was so good an actor that he mimicked Daredevil's fighting style with such precision that he got beaten up instead of winning a fight that Iron Fist could have taken easily. (Unless I imagined that.)

Tony Stark didn't lie all the time. When he was a full-time drunk, Rhodey wore the suit.

He fights back? The Prowler's a real superhero as well, and Peter has actually built some gadgets into the new suits.

there's a page later in that book where villains crash the wedding and prowler gets sucker punched because he's trying to concentrate on wisecracking like spiderman does and doesn't notice the shot coming because he doesn't have spider sense

When Doctor Octopus took over Peter's body he was like "why not become a wealthy supergenius" and then he was still one when Peter got his body back, combined with the status quo changing significantly enough that he had no competition.

In 20 years, Pokémon Go will become so huge and all encompassing that it will facilitate all our social and business interactions, making readers go WTF about why you wouldn't use the company wifi.

To be fair hasn't the user base for Pokemon go shrunk by a huge amount now that the novelty has passed for most people? Much like other Pokemon soon the only audience will be kids and a small number of adults who range from normal to "I'm sorry officer i didn't know I couldn't had on a playground with kids but you see there was a DoDuo you see and I needed Madison's help to find it."

From what I heard second hand, they lost a ton of users, but the user base is so huge, it's a much smaller loss percentage wise than other fad social games.
