The person who scanned this image should probably re-calibrate, unless I missed a period of Spider-Man's comics where his costume was red and forest green.

You might want to check the settings on your monitor.

I kind of want to read a series now where the main character constantly foils the attempts of the main villain by killing his enemies for him and constantly making him stronger.

I enjoy stories where the hero happens to walk by the portrait of someone who can help him.

I think that was in Mark Millar's run on Marvel Knights Spider-Man. Peter's previously been badly injured in a fight with Electro and Vulture abducts him from the hospital, tears off his bandages so he can get a look at his face and goes, "I can't believe it - you've been beating us all these years and you're a nobody!"

See, I thought Peter was kind of known for his Spidey photos.

It's probably more of a concern for Peter since like a third of his regular villains wind up trying to date Aunt May.

It works out in his favor, too, sometimes.

Doc Ock once helped Spider-Man save a bunch of civilians because May was among them.

Doc Ock's next panel after that is brilliant.

I didn't love a lot of JMS's ideas for totems and stuff, but the Ock story was a home run.

Well, I'm thinking more that Peter gets recognized for it now and then. Plus, he did publish a book of his photos, and even testified in court about it several times.

Then again, we never remember who gets photos for TMZ.

What is Stan Lee's answer as to how we got here? I know he has to have been asked a million times. It bothers me that people are bothered by organic webshooters. You cannot possibly think they don't make the most sense by a country mile.

There's an old ASM Annual where Peter explains his powers to MJ. He theorizes his powers include an inherent knowledge of how to make web fluid.

Wheat Loaf posted:

One thing I remember about the web-shooters is from a story in the Mackie run where Peter ends up sleeping rough and gets his backpack with his costume in it nicked, and the guy who took it needs a sledgehammer to work the web-shooters, because apparently they're designed with Peter's super strength in mind.

Holy cow - do you remember the issue? I really want to see this.

I always figured the web-shooters were more about precision touch.

Lobok posted:

It depends on the writer. I remember reading that Mackie issue at the time too and I thought it was cool, and it has stuck with me. I think of it when they show other people using the webshooters like it ain't no thang.

One thing that doesn't come up anymore, especially in the adaptations, is how the webshooters need(ed?) a double-tap to fire, or else making a fist or grabbing stuff would accidentally fire them. Easy to get around if you show that the trigger is wide and detects the absence of the other two fingers, but... they never do.

The issue I was thinking of where Peter explains his powers to MJ is Spider-Man #26 (vol 1; 1992), or a free 1993 Halloween comic. Can't find any scans, though.

I wish I could find it, he goes into detail about being able to stick to walls and stuff.

I remember that one. Used to have all the 30th anniversary issues. Isn't it the one where he explains his bond to walls is crazy strong? It shows Colossus ripping him off a brick wall but only because the bricks broke apart from the rest of the wall.

Yeah! The main story from that issue was a waste of time, but the mini about his powers was great.

That reminds me of my favorite scene from the 90's X-Men cartoon.

I swore this was gonna be where the glowing playing card is on an elevator that sets down in a middle of a group of Sentinels.

One of the Sentinels gets on his hands and knees, and gets his face next to the card, and says, "It appears to be the ace of spades."
