That one kind of bugs me because after he reveals that he's stuck his own pants to his butt the Avengers should have been all,"Welp, that's the real Spider-Man alright!" instead of insisting on a battery of tests to prove his identity.

I mean hell, it only took the Green Goblin getting hit with one joke to figure it out!

So into these hot dogs he doesn't even notice Gwen came back to life back there.

I loved him explaining Superior Spider-Man and (I think) Spider-Man 2099 replying "yeah that seems about dumb enough to be true."

I stopped reading comics super heavy right after the first Civil War so I didn't get all the Slott hate I would see around. Like, all I knew him from was his She-Hulk stuff and the Spider-Man/Human Torch mini. Then I got Marvel Unlimited and started catching up on things...

Can't he just patent his web formula and sell the rights to 3M or DuPont or whoever for a fortune? Maybe if action wasn't his reward he might be able to afford a car. Or even a cab.

The canonical argument is "nobody wanted to buy a fast-setting adhesive that cleanly and safely dissolves in an hour."

Which is, of course, laughable but yep.

It dissolves into nothing so no one can "pick it up" (even though there was a retarded Bendis storyline where a scientist did just that)

Doesn't matter, counts as being made publicly available. Probably the most common mistake by the private inventor in the first-to-file system.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Spidey has had a ton of excuses, starting at "nobody would want it", which fell apart under scores of people pointing out how many industries would find clean-dissolving adhesives to be incredibly useful, and eventually mutating into "Spider-Man isn't a legal person, so he'd have to reveal his identity to get paid", which has also been thoroughly mocked to the point where Slott just made him get loving rich off his inventions already.

There's a great panel of Spider-Man using his normal excuses on (I think) an X-Men class, only for them to start piping up about shell companies and stuff and Spidey having to change the subject really fast, but I can't remember where it happened any more so I can't show you.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
It was an issue of Spiderman, the villain they fought was the one who manipulates emotions. To get out of the awkward situation, Spidey takes them on patrol. Also, Pete felt awkward because he WAS a teacher, and yet he was only considered to teach a class because, as the premiere teen hero who so utterly hosed up his image to be considered a menace, he's the perfect person to impart a life lesson of what NOT to do.

How you know this is newspaper Spiderman:

1. Somebody other than Spiderman came up with the plan to stop the villian.
2. Somebody other than Spiderman actually is physically defeating the villian.
3. Spiderman is whining about it.
