Spider-Man General Discussion

Go To

This thread's for the Spider-Man comics and spin-offs, whether they're decades old or brand new.

  • Apart from the main Marvel Universe titles, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man "What If?" stories, crossovers, guest appearances in other books, Alternate Universe tales and things like Marvel's manga adaptations are all on-topic here.
  • Spider-Man 'family' books are on-topic (as are their own crossovers, guest appearances etc.) - e.g. Spider-Man 2099, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, Silk, Spider-Gwen, Venom, Carnage, Black Cat, Red Goblin and Spider-Verse.
  • Characters and comics that originated in Spider-Man but are no longer directly connected to the spider-franchise (e.g. Punisher, Silver Sable) are not on-topic, unless you're discussing historical connections and crossovers. If in doubt, check before you write a long post. If this isn't the right place, there's a more general Marvel Comics thread which covers them.

Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about their Spider-Man stories here.

Discussions that are only about Spider-Man adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.

Please follow the spoiler policy rules - tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics. When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).

     Original Thread OP 
Since everyone likes talking about him. I know little about him(Ironically,I got nearly all I know about him from a Batman thread),but he's apparently important so I made this thread. Enjoy.

Dark Genesis?

Wow, love the edgy name.

Well, it is a 90s story. The last miniseries was 'Exodus', so I guess they like the Biblical theme. I'm looking forward to Miguel's take on Numbers and Leviticus.

Was Orlando's Exodus any good? I like Miguel a lot but the synopsis made it seem like he was just a vehicle for introducing new 2099 characters like Winter Soldier 2099. I know Norman was revealed to have lived to 2099, but nothing beyond that.

It was pretty much new 2099 ocs and then he sent one of his xmen ocs back to krakoa

[up] It was Cerebra who was sent back, wasn't it? She wasn't an OC, she was from the original X-Men 2099.

[up] Is she actually the same character or a different variant from a different 2099, though? I'd assumed the latter.

[up] I couldn't tell you, I didn't read Orlando's 2099 stuff, just some vague descriptions of it. And of Marauders, which, if I'm not mistaken, is where she ended up? Regardless, my point is that Cerebra's not an OC.

Lost Hunt#3 was pretty good, but you can tell JMD is cramming too much in and rushing it with just two issues left to go. This should have been a longer series. Editing could have been tighter.

It wouldn't be the 90s without MJ waiting by the window, rofl. Still, at least she resolves to start searching for Peter if he stays out too late

It also wouldn't be the 90s without a mentally broken Peter attacking his pregnant wife

Random question:

What are the different careers that different versions of MJ have pursued?

In the main universe, she's been a Super-Model and Actress.

In the Ultimate Universe, she was trying to be a reporter.

Same for the Spider-Man (PS4) game.

And in Ghost-Spider-Gwen's Universe, she leads her own band, the Mary-Janes.

Anyone got any other examples?

She was also a club owner in the 616.

In the MC2 universe I think she owned a fashion company and specifically the Spider-Shoppe.

[up][up] Yes, although it's kind of a 'recent' revelation exclusive to the Lost Hunt mini-series, and because it's set in a reality where the marriage still happened, noone can tell if it's an AU or not.

One more random question (this is a lie. There will always be more, because my curiosity is never slated....and it's harder to look it up than it is to ask you guys):

1) What's the biggest thing Peter's every been hit with? Like, anyone ever slammed a car on top of him or something?

2) About MJ as Spinneret: The suit she wears gives her the increased Strength, but does it also enhance her own durability? Like, it doesn't look like it would provide much protection? Also, what about his other powers? Does she get a Spider-Sense when she wears it? Cause that would seem....a little hard for a suit to mimic.

The suit lets her borrow some of Peter's powers which I assume includes durability and Spider-Sense.
