The resident punster uses the name Stephen for his login name and while there's other punsters, Stephen's the one who's most well known.

** In his first fight with The Kingpin in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', Spidey gets his butt absolutely whooped and even his mask taken off and his identity revealed. In his rematch, however, knowing that he wouldn't be able to win with his previous tactics goes with dodging attacks whilst insulting The Kingpin (guess which type of insults) -- at one point even stopping to pull out a notepad containing some zingers he prepared earlier. This obviously makes him so angry that Spidey soon gets the upper hand and defeats him.
