Ultimate Spider-Man/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* The first time Spider-Man uses his head was in the second story arc. He attempted to go beat up the Kingpin ended with his wrist crushed and fried by Electro. He did his homework, beat up the Enforcers and Electro, got footage of the Kingpin killing someone, and then leaving in one piece after giving a [[Reason You Suck Speech]] speech to the Kingpin. Score one for Spidey!

** Even more awesome? ''The speech mostly consisted of fat jokes.''

* Spidey talking Daredevil out of committing murder.

* Peter losing his shit at Osborn for throwing MJ off a bridge. A SHIELD agent relaying information to an at first concerned Nick Fury says:

'''Agent:''' Spider-Man! Spider-Man is beating the crap out of Osborn! }}

* The turning point of Spider-Man's first fight with Venom. In the Ultimate continuity, {{spoiler|Eddie Brock is a childhood friend of Peter, so when Brock turns out to be a psychopath and turns himself into Venom, Peter blames himself, and tries to talk Brock down. When Brock sets the symbiote on Peter, he finally decides to stop talking and start kicking ass. The CMOA occurs once Peter grabs a tire and hits the underside of his chin so hard Venom bites through his own tongue.}} Totally, totally badass.

* Perhaps the single most awesome moment in the Ultimate-verse is J Jonah Jameson {{spoiler|discovering Peter Parker is Spider-Man in the "Tainted Love" arc. You'd think he would go and plaster it all over his paper and ruin Spidey's reputation, right? Wrong! He tells his reporters that he knows who Spidey is, but is not going to tell them and will, in fact, use the Bugle to '''help''' Peter}}.

* J. Jonah Jameson, one of the proudest and most arrogant Spider-Man characters outside of the villains, ''actually has character development'' during the Ultimatum arc. In the midst of the catastrophe, he personally witnesses Spider-Man dive into the flood to save a woman's life, and instead of blowing it off with some rationalization, he actually writes in his newspaper that he had been wrong all along, that he had shirked his duty as a journalist, and delivers one of the most [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] endorsements of Spider-Man imaginable.

** He also gets a great moment when he apologises to Peter for firing him, opening up about losing his son.

** Next issue; Peter spends the whole issue taking on the rest of the group, and does a pretty good job despite the bullet wound. They're being watched the whole time by his neighbors who are calling ambulances and the police for him (his mask is off by the way). Eventually the villains managed to get Peter on the ropes, and Electo is about to finish him off when [[Big Damn Heroes|Aunt May comes out of nowhere]] [[Mama Bear|and shoots Electro]], which causes him to practically explode with electric power, taking out the other villains. Then Aunt May rushes down to cradle the still wounded Peter as all the neighbors crowd around. [[Oh Crap|Then Osborn gets back up.]]

** MJ runs Osborn over with a van. When Osborn gets back up Peter then (remember--BULLET WOUND, beating by various supervillains, and just plain exhaustion all around, plus not being quite as strong as the 616 version) picks the van up and squishes Osborn with it. Twice.

* In the previews for ''Ultimate Fallout #2'', Aunt May's confronted by a grieving Captain America, who reveals that it was his fault that Peter is dead and that, before he took the shot meant for him, he had basically tore down Peter and told him he wasn't ready to be a hero. Aunt May's response? Bitch slap Cap and call out both him and Tony over the fact that it was basically ''their fault'' Spider-Man was no more!

** Hell, this was enough to get Steve to actually ''quit'' being Captain America.

* Also counts as CMOF, but Miles' taking down the Scorpion, despite still being inexperienced and the Scorpion being much larger and stronger than him. It also averts the [[Running Gag]] and the [[Apathetic Citizens|uninterested citizens]] of his last few battles by having them instead cheer for him afterwards.

 

* Peter's response to Silver Sable about how she is gonna get Mary Jane and Aunt May now that she knows he is Spider-Man: "Leave my family alone!"

* Sable has managed to get herself out of Venom before he could get a chance to absorb her life force.

* Most of Spidey's victories over Venom, since Venom could normally tear Peter apart at close range in his early days, but in the game itself Pete seems to be barely out of breath.

 

* In the first episode, while Fury is offering Spider-Man the chance to train with S.H.I.E.L.D., the Trapster somehow frees himself just as Spidey asks Fury how ultimate an "Ultimate Spider-Man" they're talking about is. Fury responds by casually looking over his shoulder at the fleeing Trapster, removing his plasma revolver from its holster, and firing seemingly blindly into the air. The plasma-bolt comes down and sheers through a flagpole a couple stories up, causing the pole to fall and bonk Trapster on the head, knocking him out.

* In "Great Responsibility", Spider-Man manages to rally the team behind him to fight the Frightful Four, after just declining to work with them minutes ago. White Tiger also gets one for finally giving Spidey some credit.

'''Spider-Man:''' She called me "the man"! }}

** Directly following that, the team not only keeps the civilians safe, but also beats down the Frightful Four. Iron Fist especially gets one for taking down Klaw in one blow.

''Cue Iron Fist one-shotting Klaw in a single, chi-enhanced punch so powerful, it creates a blast wave that knocks him off the roof and resonates like a sonic boom!'' }}

* Iron-Fist gets another one in "Venom." Not only does he manage to evade the symbiote longer than anyone else on the team (save Spidey), but he even manages to expell it on his own. Even the way he expunged it was awesome. He punched the ground in a fit of rebellion, creating a radial shockwave that literally ''ripped [[Venom (Comic Book)|Venom]] from his body!'' He wasn't even phased by the merging/separation process like Flash, Nova, and Power Man were! He just got back to his feet and leapt back into the fray like it was nothing.

** Venom in general: unlike other villains (except Doctor Octopus and Taskmaster) who are treated as comical, Venom is taken more seriously and in every time he appears in an episode and very few scenes with Venom are played for humor, with Imagine Spots becoming less frequent as a result. Also {{spoiler|every time he is defeated, it seems that symbiote is gone, but it always survives}}. Also his design is rather impressive.

* How does Spidey win the day in "Field Trip?" He tricks Loki, the ''god of tricksters'' by hitting him the right in the ego. Loki is flat-out incredulous that he was beat by a mortal, only for Thor himself to correct him that Spider-Man is "no mere mortal."

'''[[Moment Killer|Spider-Man:]]''' (Shrugs) Eh, close enough.
