Wizard is a genius with technology but maybe doesn't have the most street smarts... And Paste-Pot Pete is a tech expert too but sometimes you don't always have to reinvent the wheel. Picking up a perfectly normal pair of binoculars probably would have done the trick:  Strange Tales #110

There should definitely be a Golden Age Challenge Month or something at Marvel or DC where writers are given some ridiculously small amount of time to think of a plot and script for an issue. Bonus if it's not for a character they're currently assigned to.

Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #2 Cage is looking to make a costume for himself and the shop owner has a marvelous idea.  In the rest of the scene, Cage finds all the elements of his iconic costume from a failed escape artist if you've ever wondered about the tiara or the chain. You get the sense Romita designed the costume and then Archie Goodwin tried to figure out where in the hell that getup would come from. Cage says he can relate to the escape artist (since he busted out of jail in his origin).

There are famous photographers but in the Marvel world being a Bugle byline would not make a person a household name. There was that time when he went on tour and on TV to hawk his "Webs" photography collection coffee table book but that would not have made much of a difference.

Kwyndig posted:Peter Parker's secret identity is simultaneously the smartest and dumbest thing in his series. Definitely interesting how his life as Spider-Man gets in the way of his life as Peter but it's being Spider-Man that funds his life as Peter. From a story perspective you have a character who wants to go out and find trouble as much as possible. This is why it was weird during the Superior Spider-Man series when Ghost Peter is trying to tell Dr. Octopus-as-Spidey that he has to go out on patrol. Most of the reason for the nightly patrol was to get photographs but with working at Horizon it was not clear why he had to go out and actively seek crime for its own sake.

Seek out crime just by swinging around I mean. He could follow leads or get info from cops or Avengers. But he was getting mad at Octavius for not spending his night out just hoping to come across something when Ock had a surveillance system set up already.

One time a dude was watching Carnage through a video conference and said it wasn't real, just special effects, so Carnage sent a tendril through the telecommunications system somehow and drilled through the dude's face. Even up to the moment before the drill went through his face he thought it was some impressive 3D hologram coming out of his screen. Edit: Found it. Venom: Carnage Unleashed #3

joehonkie posted:Kite Man probably did more property damage than the jewelry is worth. He's like those people that steal copper wiring and pipes to sell for pennies when most of the damage replacement cost isn't actually the materials. Did that Damage Control series ever do a story where one of the employees was a supervillain (or employed them) so that Damage Control would get more business? Insurance fraud, basically.

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

Red posted: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 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.

Captain Bravo posted:It's a weird feeling seeing Spider-Man be happy. I think maybe, on some level, it's because unhappy Spider-Man has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It looks so beautiful, and he so deserves it, but the fact that you know something is going to gently caress it all up kind of makes you not want it to happen. At some point Parker Luck became less about the trials and tribulations a normal person would face being a superhero if they didn't have as much plot armour as Cap or Iron Man and turned into Murphy's Law.

Even 5 year old me quickly learned to associate Hanna Barbera with barely moving bad cartoons. Man, that's half the reason I can't get into a bunch of cartoons nowadays. Archer and Bojack Horseman are so utterly boring to watch. Simpsons spoiled me. Adventure Time is amazing obviously.

The two biggest storylines in Spider-Man's history where they try and get Spider-Man to a different place in terms of attitude and heroics were the Clone Saga and Superior Spider-Man and it's interesting that one tried to get him back to an older version and one ended up with him having his act together and being really successful in life. And both stories went about it by having someone else fill the Spider-Man role for a while.

You would think that this being a Spider-Man story, she would have died (even if only seemingly) and Ock would have learned a lesson like with Peter and Uncle Ben's death.

No the parallels are strong but I don't think any of us, or Peter, are advocating for Ock's death/ murder. As for the fallout IIRC witnesses included civilians and police who protected Spider-Man. Cops in particular were all like "oh I happened to have my back turned, didn't see nothing!"
