As I recall, it was Sue who called him that at first, and then he agreed and took up the name himself.

I wish writers would write Reed as a good person more often than they do.

Yeah, they picked their own superhero names, and even though Sue was the first one to call him that, he was the one who decided to stick with it.

Nah the panel where Reed is tucking in Franklin (or was it Valeria?) is still pretty timeless. Requesting it be posted, thanks in advance.

Because he was the only one who had a dad, because he was the sole survivor of all the other Richards' Dads killing each other in a multiversal slaughterfest, i'm told. It's still dumb.

He's arguably a supervillain in 616 as well. The only thing that keeps him on the rails is Sue.

Yeah, sometimes the people saying "no, you move" is a county clerk refusing to give a marriage license to Arnie.

That basic message is that you should stand by your principles and what you believe is right despite what deigned as correct which should obviously be meant for oppressed people to break from their chains, but in this dystopic apocalyptic reality we live in of course it will be co-opted by any far-reich nutjob that thinks we need an ethnical cleansing.

He's doing that low squat thing he always does. Spider-man's idea of a restful position is a little unconventional, Caps lucky he's not 12ft up a wall and upside-down.

It's actually much improved on in the Civil War movie when it's presented as Peggy's response to institutional sexism.

There's a reason most other superheroes dislike Spider-Man and why he was never on any teams as anything more than a reserve member prior to New Avengers, they almost all think he's creepy and/or a jerk for a whole lot of different reasons

Don't forget that way back in the very first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, one of the two stories in that issue (the one featured on the cover, no less) was about Spider-Man basically breaking into the Baxter Building and picking a fight with the Fantastic Four in a misguided attempt to audition for a spot on their team.

I like this one for its simplicity, and for trying its damndest to get the point across without actually being able to say that Arnie was gay.
