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.

Slott gave him a bunch of situational web types. I don’t remember how it worked but I think webs that caught on fire were one of them

Instead of flamethrower Peter could get flammable webs for the occasion. About as cruel and less dangerous to non webbed folks. [lol]

Huh. I guess JJ and Aunt may are the only supporting cast members or Peter who Arent super heroes or supervillains now.

I don't expect Mary Jane to be a superhero forever but it's a nice change for a bit.

MJ being a superhero isn't new, she's been one since 2016 (Spinneret), her being one in 616 under far worse circumstances is another case of the 'main' canon following and not leading

Fun fact:

By having Good Luck powers, she is the excat opposite of Black Cat.

Uh don't like the jackpot alias at least. Would have gone with a variation of Carnage or it's kin as her alias since its what most adaptations go with.

I remember the Ultimate Comics teased she might still have her Demogoblin powers but nothing came out of it.

Remember when Ultimate Gwen was Carnage.

It's funny how the three versions of Gwen reflect the times

616!Gwen: Rich Uptwon Girl

1610!Gwen: Violent Punk Goth Girl

65!Gwen: Socially Awkward Punk Girl Faiure

@Charles Phipps: I would not be opposed to Black Cat and MJ partnering up as luck-themed superheroines. Maybe even throw Domino and Scarlet Witch in there, too, just for fun?

I would buy the shit out of that comic.

Though maybe they can adjust Wanda's powers to vague bad luck.

Have you seen volume 2 of the Mary Jane Black Cat comic because it was basically that

I’m not that into MJ’s new roulette powers but the two characters have a great dynamic

Maybe the next writer can have Felicia and MJ date each other while Peter gets together with Matt.

Just kidding, Peter will never be happy.

Okay but people that date Matt usually wind up miserable or miserably dead so Marvel should consider it

[up][up][up][up] Well that and Marvel has it in a leaked document that all versions of Peter Parker have to be straight.

Probably same thing for a few other heroes as well.

[up] Mako was the firebender guy in Korra who was in a love triangle with Korra and Asami.

The two girls ended up dating each other at the finale.
