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.

On the one hand, Peter did fine without him for years. On the other, he tends to get a replacement goblin whenever Norman isn't around. So writers do feel a goblin shaped hole in Peter's life.

Peter does need a rich guy around to punch.

You know, I'd actually read that one. Feilong's petty, entitled, obsessed... but also smart and capable.

He'd be a fun Spider-villain.

Petty, entitled and obsessed describes a lot of Spider-Man villains.

It describes most comicbook villains period, like Black Manta, Luthor, Reverse Flash, Joker, Sabretooth... even Dr. Doom to some degree!

Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.

Petty, entitled, and obsessed is how I'd describe Doom as well.

Now if you excuse me, I need to hide from the Latverian secret police for typing that comment.

You’re def trying to get me killed.

I know, I’ll head to Oscorp. Spider-Man will totally keep me safe.

Not like he’s had constant failures this run am I right?

He has, but it won't stop him from trying.

Like, even if you're being pulled into the Doom-Killer 2000 (TM), he'll still be trying to pull you out.

And really, sometimes it's nice to know someone will go that far for you.

It'd be better if they succeeded, but at least he tried.

In contrast, Reed would probably keep you safe from the get go, because HE'S SMARTER THAN DOOM!

A tease apparently for Eight Deaths of Spider-Man featuring Doctor Doom

I am trying so hard not to think that in light of Doom becoming the Sorcerer Supreme in Blood Hunt, he somehow became privy about OMD and resolved to help Peter reclaim his soul and marriage once and all, for good, no backsies...

If Doom undoes OMD, I will change my profile to Doom and sing his praises forever.

If Doctor Doom beats the shit out of Mephisto for three entire pages, from now on I vow to only refer to Richards as RICHARDS like I hate him even a fraction of the amount as our lord and savior.

Doom did beat the shit out of Mephisto with Strange at the end of Infamous Iron Man.

But if he does it to undo OMD, I will love Doom forever.

Doom loves beating up Mephisto. But it will never get him his mom back

Unless things have changed, Mephisto is currently all emaciated and stuck in hell while the Orb constantly chatters at him

It is simultaneously the best time to kick his ass and also a time where an asskicking might put him out of his misery. So weigh those options

Yeah, I think she’s in Death’s realm now. Because she’s dead. So now Doom is mad at the concept of Death. But she went and retired and then Thanos locked her in a crystal until she agrees to be his goth waifu so what’s Doom going to do about it?

Probably try and kill Thanos.

I hope they both bite it.

Also, Marvel would have Doom be the one who fixes Peter's marriage (or at least tease it, since I don't believe they're ready to end it).

It can't be a hero who does it. It's gotta be Doom. Cause we all know what a non-petty and humble person Doom is.

Eh, I suppose someone had to do it....if that is indeed what's happening.
