Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?

Peter Parker: if I don't call, he'll surely know and reveal my secret!

the computer store also seems to be strictly retail, prebuilt stuff, no like repairing other people's computers or anything so he should be really well qualified and not a risk, just ironic

Given that he's on probation for making a computer virus, there's strong odds a condition of his parole is "don't you even think of touching a computing device"

I'm really liking what a dork Rigby is. It kind of makes sense that, in a world of superheroes and supervillains, a telekinetic who just uses his powers to steal a hotdog when he's hungry or a suit when he wants to go party wouldn't stand out.

Yeah, I kinda dig that he probably already grinded the theft he needs, so now he's just doing this for the big pay and/or shits and giggles. Kind of reminds me of Talking Gorilla that way

"I didn't want you to know I know who you are until we met in person."

"Well how else would I get you to call me?"
"How do I know you really know who I am?"
"Simple: you're Spider-Man."

Telling Spidey to meet him by Wallcrawling does sort out the fakes.

I'm guessing it's mentioned in the strip we seem to be missing, though I feel like world domination is a bit ambitious for what we've seen of his personality.

Yeah, whatever that plan may be Peter should just go "hey, Jonah, I followed Rigby around, no luck wiht Spider-man but then he almost shoplifted some jewelry just to show me he could and then explained a plan to take over the world"
"is destroying spider-man part of it?"
"well, yes, but"
"let him get to that part and then we call Iron Man."




actually i guess any plan will seem unstoppable to Peter
