Actually, it wasn't "technically", he loving saved the day completely.

Peter's blood changed how Bruce's powers work. Now instead of transforming he just gains the proportional strength and agility of a Hulk.

I mean, he may be a bunch smaller than a the Hulk, but that'd still be some major loving strength.

also just a overall spider man question. why does JJ super loving hate spiderman. i mean i read a ton of the early comics so i knows its jealousy/self loathing, but did they ever poo poo out a better reason.

I remember this specifically from the Ultimate comics, but I think it applies to 616 too: JJJ hates masked vigilantes. He feels like the mask means we don't know who's under there, they have something to hide, they're running some type of con. Or he associates them with groups like the KKK, who wear masks while they do horrible things and proclaim themselves saviors.

Basically, he has a bunch of reasons, but more or less he doesn't trust superpowered beings, and especially those with masks.

She'll step out onto the roof and use her acting abilities to convince the The Lizard that she's fallen for him, and wants him to turn her into a The Lizard too. He'll be completely taken by it, and let his guard down, at which point a Cessna prop plane and pilot she purchased on the way up will fly over him and dump The Lizard antidote all over him.

A side effect of the gamma irradiated blood will leave Conners with both arms, and he and Banner will go off to try to use gamma irradiation for good.

In some nutty way, Spider-man will have won.

Guess I missed bookmarking the thread when it switched over to 2018. I just read all 27 pages in one sitting. I mainlined the thread like it was an irresponsible combination of irradiated blood. It was amazing.

Wait, doesn't the The Lizard KNOW he's actually Curt Conners, and not give a single gently caress? I thought he was like "CONNERS IS WEAK, I, THE THE LIZARD, SHALL TAKE OVER THE EARTH WITH MY ARMY OF REPTILES".

You know Spidey, Conners, and Banner are going to be at a total loss to stop him, though, until MJ whips in on the boat and is like "If you publish that story, I'm going to tell everyone that you conspired with a pair of unlicensed riverboaters to travel into the Florida Everglades and beat up endangered reptiles."

Also while she was away, she cleaned up Conners' lab, revived that beheaded snake, patched up poor Gronk, got Banner cleared of all charges in possible public disturbance cases, finished advertising her movie, AND joined the Avengers.

No one suspected the Lizard was Connors because Connors only has one arm.

"Yes, okay, Connors is some kind of lizard-doctor, and some lizards grow back lost limbs, but why would he lose the new arm when he changed back?"

Why DOES he lose the arm? The rest of him turns back into a human from a lizard, why can't the arm turn human too?

Those gators aren't going to hurt anyone.

Look, in the first panel, they're super happy to meet their idol, The Gronktactular Spider-man himself. You can see the one directly under Spidey reaching behind its back to get its autograph book.

The second panel, Spidey is giving them rides, and the one high-fives the other as they pass, because this is the greatest moment of their lives. A snake friend in the background is immortalizing the moment with flash photography, so they'll have a keepsake they can treasure forever.

Truly, Newspaper Spider-Man is the comic that never fails to deliver.

I like that his half-mask illusion covers his entire nose, but still cuts off halfway across the rest of his face.

"I told you to capture Collen Wing, not this idiot."

"We picked her up earlier, we've had her all day, this guy's just a bonus."

He's going to jump and punch Spider-Man, who as a result will shoot like a projectile towards the helicopter, causing it to crash and knocking out everyone inside when it falls to the ground.

NSM will managed to hit a brick as they crash, knocking him out and causing him to go limp, helping him survive the crash.

Thankfully, Kingpin and Golden Claw will also be knocked out, because they were squeezed a little too hard by the impact and squirted out a lot of their red "awake juice", thus sending them to sleep for a while. Spidey will have to help bury them so the rains seeping in from above will refill their juice sacks. Everyone assures him this is how it works.
