Spider-Man: Difference between revisions

=== Alternate Continuity ===

* ''[[Spider-Girl]]'' - A series set in the [[Marvel Comics 2|MC2]] continuity, which focused on Peter's daughter following in her father's update. Span-off from a "What if" issue which looked at what would have happened if Peter and Mary Jane had raised their child from the ''[[Clone Saga]]''.

* ''Spider-Man 2099'' - Set in the [[Marvel 2099]] continuity, which featured a radical new take on Spider-Man and several of his [[Rogues Gallery]].

* ''[[Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane]]'' - A series following [[Love Interests]] Mary Jane Watson as a teenager. More of a Teen Drama with some superhero stuff.

* ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' - The upcoming 2012 [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Continuity Reboot]] directed by Marc Webb. Starring [[Andrew Garfield]] as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

* Unofficial Turkish movie ''[[Three Big Men]]'' (1973) which gained [[Cult Classic|notoriety status]] since it features [[Captain America (comics)]] and [[El Santo]] fighting an [[In Name Only|evil]] Spider-Man.

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* [[Arachnid Appearance and Attire]]

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Several over the years: [[The Sixties|Doctor Octopus]], [[Norman Osborn|Green Goblin]] (most famously, for [[Complete Monster|horrible, horrible]] reasons), [[The Eighties|Hobgoblin]], [[The Nineties|Venom]], Carnage, Kingpin.

* [[Art Evolution]]: Spidey is almost never depicted as the original "boy in a Lucha costume" after [[Spawn|Todd McFarlane's]] run.

* [[Artistic License Physics]]: During the first Sinister Six fight, Spidey grounds himself to make himself immune to Electro's electricity blasts. This actually would make him much ''more vulnerable'' to them.

* [[Author Avatar]]: [[Stan Lee]] has said that Spider-Man was something of this for him. He also created J. Jonah Jameson based on other peoples' view of him.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Carnage, Venom to an extent.

* [[Backstab Backfire]]: After the Green Goblin killed Gwen Stacy, Spidey tracked him down and beat him nearly to death. Spidey was so angry that he wanted to kill the Goblin, but at the last minute stopped himself. He thought that Osborn was no longer a threat and Osborn, who was still able to remotely control his goblin glider, positioned it behind Spider-Man and hit the gas hoping to impale him. Spidey dodged the glider and it hit Osborn instead, killing him. [[Retcon|At least, that's how the story originally went]].

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Spider-Man is a superhumanly skilled acrobat with danger-based precognition and superhuman strength and resiliency (including an ability to block out pain better than humans). He's also got a high I.Q. and a natural affinity for science.

* [[Badass Damsel]]: Go ahead and try to kidnap Mary Jane...call us when you stop hurting from the smackdown she'll give you.

* [[Badbutt]]: Venom and Carnage in the '90s cartoon, so so much... ([[Narm Charm|... but they]] ''[[Narm Charm|still]]'' [[Narm Charm|manage to be]] [[Nightmare Fuel]].)

'''Eddie Brock:''' [[Threat Backfire|Oh yeah,]] [[Regret Eating Me|well, I'd give you indigestion...]] [[Lame Comeback|man.]] }}

* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: The infamous "With great power comes great responsibility" quote from one of the early issues is usually attributed to Uncle Ben. While it wasn't long before it was [[retcon]]ned to be from him, the actual first appearance of the quote was in a narration box.

** Oh so brutally subverted in Reign. The consequences of Spidey's radioactive body fluids taken to its logical conclusion.

** It was also kind of handy when it came to taking out Morlun that time.

** Both played straight and subverted in the [[Crossover]] with the [[Transformers]]. Straight with Megatron, who captures Spidey and uses his radioactive blood to form a special isotope that can supercharge transformers. Subverted with Spidey, who was the one [[Strapped to An Operating Table]] as the Decepticons stole his blood. [[Bloody Hilarious|Spidey still manages to crack a few jokes.]]

* [[Informed Ability]]: Some [[All There in the Manual|Marvel Databooks]] states that Spidey can lift and support the weight of around 10 tons, and yet [[Depending on the Writer|many writers]] had Spidey struggle with situations that his [[Super Strength]] could easily do the work; common examples are when he is saving people from some catastrophe that wrecked the city, so there are civilians stuck in cars (inside or under them) and debris, much of the time he is struggling to lift some car or piece of concrete that can't weight over than a ton and half. It seems Peter can only do justice to his informed strength when he is in [[Determinator]] mode, he has supported the weight of collapsing buildings more than once, which in itself is much more than he could possibily endure.

* [[Three-Point Landing]]: Spider Man likes this pose.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Journalist Ben Urich and editor Robbie Robertson normally serve this role.

** Since he came back, you could say that Harry is an example of this WITHOUT being [[Ax Crazy]].

** The entire point of "The Gauntlet" story arc was this, giving each of Spidey's classic villains a revisit and making them more dangerous then they had been before.
