* [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'s first fight with the Sinister Six.
** This has been [[Hand Wave|explained]] as being so each villain would have a chance to get the 'honor' of killing Spidey himself. Spidey has since called this a "bone-headed method of teaming up" and in all subsequent fights, the Six attack en masse. Gently parodied in [[Spider-Girl (Comic Book)|Spider-Girl]]'s fight with the Savage Six--the entire issue was one big homage to the entire first Sinister Six issue, the leader of the Savage Six employed the same method of attack, and his brother, also a super-villain, called him an idiot.
** In another instance in ''[[Spider-Girl]]'', the final fight (between the exhausted hero and fresh villain) is thoroughly subverted when Spider-Girl calls in a few favors, and the last villain is confronted by just about every hero in the [[Marvel Comics 2]] 'verse. He wisely surrenders at that point.
** Norman Osborn once claimed that only a gauntlet would work against Spider-Man since the webhead is "good with groups," using the opponents' powers against them and cause infighting.
