A few years ago, there was a gang of criminals linked by being permanently injured by Batman in one way or another (ie. a guy who had a boot print embedded in his face). One was a guy who picked up a discarded batarang during a fight, threw it and it boomeranged into his skull. Now it's lodged into his head and he'll occasionally interrupt his own speech to say random words.

That seems familiar wasn't there a guy who got bataranged and it gave him a brain haemorrhage? I thought it was interesting.

Batman really should just never lay a hand on anyone,i wanna see pacifist batman.

Closest thing I can think of is that elseworld comic where Bruce was a doctor at Arkham who worked to rehabilitate the criminals he arrested. That was pretty neat.

Hell the Moon Knight quick change thing I posted happened in a story where Spider-Man jumped in and punched him.

Yeah, but that's Moon Knight, punching him first isn't the worst instinct.

It might be something else then, because I distinctly remember someone eating bananas and complaining about all the seeds, at which point someone is like "bananas don't have seeds!" then the other person opens their mouth to show a bunch of diamonds stuck in their teeth.

They are currently stones to match the MCU, but ultimately like all marketing-driven editorial changes in comics it requires the writer to give a poo poo about remembering that.


But on the other hand, gems are a type of stone anyway.

Five of them are currently stones. Soul is still in a gem form. Part of the story from the beginning has been what has changed them, both in color and in physical form.

This touches on my favorite running joke in Ultimate Spider-Man: eventually, almost everyone realizes they're getting dunked on by a smart-rear end kid. The reactions are mostly great.

Especially the time Black Cat threw up all over Pete's crotch.

Bendis was a little ridiculous in having like every villain figure out spider man's identity, but there's this great moment after ultimate peterdies in which Flash is sitting in a clasroom going "uhhh.... was I the only one who didn't know Peter was spider man?"

I remember one issue where one of Ultimate Peter's classmates turns out to be a mutant (Ultimate Firestar I think?), her powers awaken during a party and she flies away in a panic. Another one of their classmates goes "Someone should go after her" and Peter says "Why are you all looking at me like that?", so the classmate says "Alright then, if you want it that way. OH GEE, I SURE WISH SPIDER-MAN WAS HERE, SO HE COULD GO AFTER HER AND TALK TO HER."

I think most of the villains finding out, or maybe not so much finding out but just unmasking him, actually felt appropriate. He was a kid with no training going against actual criminals. Powers or not it's likely a kid is going to get in over his head more often than not in that kind of situation.

Although, honestly teenagers get away with poo poo all of the time. As an adult I referenced poo poo to my parents I assumed they knew about and were just coy, only to realize they had no loving clue I did that, and my mom was a loving reporter at the time.

Brock! Oh, man, I'm sorry about your...

I liked how Kong figured out Peter Parker was Spider-Man. He didn't notice any huge mistake or see him with his mask off or any dramatic detective work. He was just sitting around one night, vegging out, possibly stoned and realized, wait, Peter Parker being Spider-Man would make 100% sense.

Another great example of someone figuring out a secret identity: a recent comic where Jameson needed to track down Eddie Brock but didn't know where to start. Then he saw a Venom photo in a newspaper that was credited to a "Mr. Sym" and was all, "I know Brock is a poor man's Peter Parker, but it can't be this easy!"

I love scenes like this, where the character is just sitting there and putting the pieces together. The one in spider man homecoming was fantastic.
