Is Spider-Man just hypnotized? The Foreigner's power actually lasts ten seconds so it seems like more than coincidence that the clock features prominently in both panels and matches up with his power.
Yeah, as far as I'm aware that fight is where Foreigner's hypnotism was revealed, and the clock was the hint that tipped Spider-Man off to how someone was apparently teleporting too quickly for his spider-sense. Once he realized what was going on he just shut his eyes under his mask, then decked the hell out of Foreigner when he strolled up for his next free punch.
And as a bonus it also includes that dick joke.

It's a pretty good tactic. Make a crack about a guy's dick size so he looks at you and then whammo! Hypnotized. You can see in the first panel Spider-Man isn't looking directly at him yet.

Also, my phone wanted to correct whammo to Shannon. "And then Shannon! Hypnotized!"

The lettering in general is unappealing. I'm not a big font guy but I wanna say it's like a bad take on Papyrus.

The Sentry? As in the guy who is another Superman stand-in? Beat the Hulk to a standstill? Died from an overdose of " self sacrifice to stop my evil half"? That Sentry?

Or is this Uncle Stan/Larry forgetting that there's another guy already named The Sentry and just whipped up a guy?

Old in real time, too. As in, Stan Lee created/co-created the Sentry robots. I think I first saw them in old Captain America comics, back when it was Tales to Astonish with Iron Man.

Never read that far in FF I don't think.

Anyway, I was way off. First off, the Cap/Iron Man comic was Tales of Suspense. Secondly, what I was remembering was an old issue of Captain Marvel fighting the Sentry. Lastly, the Cap issue I'm thinking of had him fighting some other big-rear end robot, not one of the Sentry robots.

This was almost word for word in a Spider-Man video game, I want to say Web Of Shadows, to explain why the FF and most of the Avengers weren't on hand. (It was like, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Moon Knight and She-Hulk that were around)

Yeah, Spider-Man was trying to call all the superscientists in town to deal with all the symbiotes running around and he gets answering machines from Richards and Tony Stark and Beast. It had a super-burn on Hank Pym where after trying several guys, Spidey goes "Hank Pym?.. Nah." and doesn't even loving try to call him.

Spider-man is just lucky that The Foreigner doesn't have all the powers of 70's rock supergroup Foreigner.
He would have been destroyed otherwise.
