That's a woman. And she doesn't represent the whole country, just one riding.

Spain. They were gonna do another inquisition, but Namor is seemingly beating them to the punch.

Peter, remember that door you ripped off its hinges? You could use that as a shield! Actually gently caress that, throw it in his face! You'd probably split his head open. Failing that just bumrush him, whips are slow to re-use once they snap forward.

Or just grab his whip. The worst thing it could do is leave a fresh fleshwound, with your reflexes. Or, I don't know, jump up a building and pelt him with trash like a proper New Yorker.

You can dodge thrown bombs and bullets, Peter. His bullwhip isn't gonna hurt you, web fluid or no.

uh, i think you will find that nsm is completely unable to dodge thrown objects. even if they were poorly aimed and might otherwise miss, anything someone throws at him will still miraculously hit.

When you get down to it, the Protector is the only person who should be negatively effected by Spidy's loss of web-fluid. Getting webbed up would be a lot quicker and much less painful than the numerous options left to Spider-Man.

Fortunately for him, Pete is as dumb as the bricks that constantly bounce off his head.

I think that's also Red Foxx and possibly Elton John, leading me to think the guy with the mustache is probably someone very 70s but I don't know who.

Gabe Kaplan?

Kaplan had poofy white-guy afro, so I’m leaning no on that.

I’m going with Sonny Bono for mustache guy and Loretta Swit. 2nd panel looks like OJ and *maybe* Karl Malden.

I think you might be right on the others but it looks like Bono didn't have a center part and had bangs so I don't think that's him.

It probably is Geraldo.

I mean, UN representatives have no governing power, just diplomatic advisory roles, so, yes, if they really were in charge the world would be even worse.

So he is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

He's got a name, a gimmick weapon, and a look and that technically makes him a super villain.

He's big AND has a whip AND has a fancy hat. That basically makes him the super-skrull version of the Enforcers.

This is the series finale where Spider-man teams up with his previous arch enemy, bricks, to defeat the bigger bad.

That sort of launching kick would probably tear the Protector's jaw off given how high Peter can jump.

The fact it took spider-man an real-life week to figure out how to beat the crap out of the protector is legitimately enraging out of universe. God drat it.

I was worried my long rambling post about how slow on the uptake Peter was would look too crazy, but it was legit frustrating even while it was funny.

But then how I usually expect fights to go down when one side is superpowered and one isn't is a recreation of the Small Knives scene.
