Spider-Man: Difference between revisions

* [[Run the Gauntlet]]: Spidey's first battle with the Sinister Six was one of these, where he was forced to battle the Vulture, Electro, Kraven, Sandman, Mysterio and Doctor Octopus one after another to save Aunt May and Betty Brant.

* [[Samaritan Syndrome]]: ''Big time.'' After [[Death By Origin Story|Uncle Ben]], Pete has taken much more responsibility for the safety of New York than a hero of his modest power set should have. Other heroes respect the hell out of him for it, but consider it unhealthy.

* [[Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up]]: Subverted in that Flash Thompson matured and became a much nicer guy after he graduated from high school and enlisted in the army. His tour of duty made him a much more intelligent and introspective character.

* [[Science Marches On]]: Now that we know more about the dangers of radiation, modern versions of the story typically have the spider be genetically engineered rather than radioactive. The radiation, [[Grandfather Clause|still the source of his powers in the main continuity]] (well, that [[JMS Spider Man|that or magic]]), has caused some complications as well. For example, it caused some complications for Mary Jane when she became pregnant with his kid.
