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.

So it wasn't a joke about Kamala Harris?

I did some digging into this and I can only find one comment that Felicia turns bad at the wedding

...Oh god... not MJ and Paul, please not MJ and Paul.

Wait, aren't they already married? Or was that a mistake? I legitimately can't remember. And I suspect Zeb Wells doesn't either.

They aren't married.

They just happen to be living together, with kids.

[up][up][up]Thankfully they seem to be setting up Paul's exit...based on the previews of their growing distance. Hopefully it's something truly humiliating as the character deserves.

Yes. Fun fact apparently Tombstone (Beetle's dad) used to bully Randy's father (robbie) in high school. So the two tried to get them broken up.

Yeah. It's interesting when you add Lincoln himself got bullied as a child due to his albinism. I guess he internalized it and just lashed out when he got older which is sadly something that isn't uncommon.

I’m not sure what the Orchis status quo is currently but they got a huge PR boost by very visibly helping to hold the line during Judgement Day

Someone being pro-Orchis would make sense in that context. They did a lot to present a friendly face to the world.

Something may have happened after Judgement Day though. I don’t keep up with X stuff very diligently

"well there's a wedding and then marriage...

Funny enough the Hulk issue where Rick Jones and Marla get married also had Mephisto try and crash the wedding years before OMD. So he does have a history of hating them.

Of course that one ended with Hulk smacking him around and him and being all "Akshully, this is what I planned" while half submerged in a pool, so better than what OMD did.

[up][up] tl;dr they killed all the human guests at this year's Hellfire Gala and doctored the footage to make it look like the X-Men did it. Marvel Civilians being what they are they immediately believed them.

Why do the heroes bother saving these people again? [lol]

[up] Hmm, maybe Meph just hates redheads.

They save them because they are good people, and those with civilian supporting cast at least care about their friends, but stuff like this makes Krakoa's existence more justified. Why would anyone want to live with such vicious people?

Is there a murder every gala or am I just imagining things?

Edit: Usually hate and fear of mutants is based on nothing but doctored footage and tampered drugs actually are a reason. Weirdly this is a step up for most mutant haters

I'm curious, do any supervillains like Doom and Fisk start shit or do they stay neutral?

And have any big Spidey villains been invited?

Fisk lives on Krakoa last I heard

Doom started shit in the X Men Fantastic Four mini by tricking Wolverine into killing a Latverian mutant

Fisk claimed Krakoan citizenship by proxy as the spouse of a mutant.

#29450: Aug 6th 2023 at 10:12:22 AM

[up][up][up]Fisk was there, and his wife was one of the mutants Orchis was targeting. One of the Orchis goons got a Neck Snap from him at a key moment, enabling Emma Frost and a few others to escape, and they took Fisk with them. He's since made some sort of deal with Emma.

Safe to say that he's not a fan of Orchis. When he realises he was intended to be one of their false flag casualties as well... it's unlikely to improve his opinion of them...
