Great. With that last panel, I am now seeing Burgess Meredith playing Kingpin.

I find it hard to believe a woman like MJ could narrow down the list of her exes that quick.

Spider-Man was accused of being an extraterrestrial alien so he'd have to go on live television and give up his blood that could then be used to make a jungle potion and burned to make fumes to weaken him in a fight.

I mean wow, that's the oldest trick in the book and he fell for it.

he probably could have used any kind of sedative and it would have worked fine. kraven put so much time and effort into this scenario but really all he had to do was say "hey let's fight" and nsm went "durrr okay".

"Ah man, Kraven's weird smoke stuff sure is making me feel really weak! I can barely even hold on to this wall, a thing that me, Spider-Man, can typically do with ease.



Anyway, time to keep climbing and fight Kraven regardless."

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


This plot would nearly make sense if Kraven was using the fumes to isolate Spider-man in a crowd, to guess his secret identity.

Spider-Senses don't work against poison gas... except when they do as shown just now in the Kingpin Arc.

See the difference is that they used Spideys blood in this one and that matters because...uuuuh...

Spider-sense detects threats. NSM is never a threat, so adding his blood to something means his spider sense is fooled. :pseudo:

as we learned from the hulk/lizard arc, introducing nsm's blood to a person's system makes them fail terribly at everything they try. kraven's going to bend over, split his pants, and then fall off the bridge.

nsm escaped from the incense burners for about 5 seconds, and then immediately returned to their vicinity. there's no particular reason for him to hang around in the spot kraven prepared to weaken him. they are outside! he could go 20 feet away and be fine.

i'm starting to suspect that peter is not a smart man.

Years of near constant head trauma has left Spidey with little to no ability to process short term memory. As such, the moment Kraven left his sight Pete either forgot he was there and/or forgot he had just come from up top and assumed that was were he was going.

Is this before or after MJ figured out Peter was Spidey, and if the latter, how much headtrauma has SHE suffered?

Name even one way he could possibly reach those things from afar with some kind of rope-like substance that he can control expertly, smart guy? That's right, didn't think so :colbert:

This is actually something he has done recently against the Kingpin in Zdarsky's run and it was also a bit weird

Holy gently caress this is basically legit what they just did: Spidey closed his eyes and his lack of object permanence made him forget to be woozy from the fumes!

the silly part of that is how he has fought mysterio dozens of times, to say nothing of all the mysterio-lites over the years. he's channeling nsm in how he forgot about how he dealt with that exact same problem many, many times.
