Free Comic Book Day: Spidey's favorite part about being an Avenger

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

What's nice about being an Avenger?

Ask Spidey!



Peter is fighting a Mandrill-controlled Spider-Woman while Madam Web and Shang-Chi look on.

Apparently Peter has lost his Spidey-Sense and his fighting style has suffered. But he manages to defeat Mandrill and now time for the clean-up.





Ha.

Shang-Chi offers to train Spidey. Montage time. In preparation for the whole "Island of Spiders" thing.

After teaching him some skillz, He begins to help Spidey develop a martial arts form based around his powers. "The Way of the Spider".

I'm assuming it's like, "Punch, punch, kick, web, kick, banter! banter!"

Voldemort wrote something similar in THE OTHER: EVOLVE OR DIE. Captain America taught Spider-Man Tai-Chi. It was no help when it came to catching bullets.

[darkknightjrk]

That was pretty funny. :D

And, I have to admit--the idea of Shang Chi helping Spidey create a new form of martial arts based on his powers is pretty damn awesome.

Voldemort wrote something similar

I see what you did there.

[alessandriana]

Hee! I love it.

Second to last panel, though... what happened to his knees??

[alessandriana]

Also, seeing this reminded me, not having read terribly widely... how common are power inhibitors in the Marvelverse?

/maybe kinda writing fanfic...

[lascoden]

They have SPIN tech, nanomachines that suppress powers. The Initiative had a pretty good supply of them, if I can remember correctly, so they're probably not too hard to get.

[schala_kid]

Jess and Pete are always awesome in that sister/brother sort of way.

And yes I bet all Avengers send the bill to Tony Stark. I wonder if Batman had this problem with the JLA, probably not since no one knows that Batman=Bruce Wayne. But I bet with the whole Batman INC thing the whole Batfamily just tells them to send the bill to Mr. Wayne XD.

[alessandriana]

Ahhhh frak, that screws up a lot of things. :\ Okay. Thanks. I will have to think about this.

[proteus_lives]

Not that common apparently. Shang-Chi puts one on Spidey for his training and Peter says they're hard to come by.

[alessandriana]

Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks. *tries to track down scans*

[lascoden]

Is Tony still poor?

[dr_archeville]

I don't know about generic superpower inhibitors, but I'd think Mutant power inhibitors wouldn't be that hard to come across, what with Genosha's economy once being based on enslaved Mutants, and all the anti-Mutant camps that've been around.

[nezchan]

He will be once Spidey's done with him.

[shadowpsykie]

i actually liked this issue... dammit... dammit...

[shadowpsykie]

Voldemort


.... i liked The Other

[proteus_lives]

I imagine that you can get good inhibitors from StarkTech, Big Govs, Hydra, AIM or tech villains.

Or you can get the chop-shop made in Madripoor versions, which are cheaper.

[tsunamiwombat]

But have that nasty neurological damage problem.

I like how Peter treats saying "AVENGERS!" like a super-power.

[proteus_lives]

True but given the amount Superhuman combat in 616, no one is worried about repeat business.

BTW, icon love.

The movie rocked so hard.

[selke]

I love the look of pure joy on Spidey's face when he proclaims that he's an Avenger. It's just so adorable and icon-y.

[starwolf_oakley]

It is Peter's version of "Winning!"

[baxter2814]

Ha! Well, when he's been constantly trashed by everyone in New York for decades, it must be absolutely awesome to have that kind of protection, so his joy is probably totally, totally warranted and not just fanboyism. ;)

[mrstatham]

SPIN tech was supposed to have been wrecked during Secret Invasion, because it was a Stark initiative to have everything in the Pro-Registration stuff wired with Starktech. And the Skrull promptly wrecked everything with Starktech.

[valtyr]

I think I'd be more worried if Heimdall was amused.

IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE FUNNY.

[mrstatham]

According to Fraction's Invincible Iron Man, Tony has nothing left safe for a few helicopters and a laptop, as of immediately after Siege. So, despite Tony's strides in making repulsor-energy available to all, I'd say yes.

But it seems only Fraction's treating it that way.
