scans_dailyIssue #3 of Spidey's stories during the Fear Itself event continue, and this time he fights one of his own.
Angrir (Ben Grimm), the guy who just knocked Red Hulk out and flattened Avengers tower. One more time, Peter faces the David vs. Goliath scenario.
(It's nice to see the true Spider-Man show his face every now and then.)
Out-classed, out-gunned, WAY out of his league, and having just had his heart stopped with a lightning blast from Angrir, the people at the hospital where Spider-Man and Ben Grimm have been fighting have come to his rescue, while a wounded Peter looks on, frozen in cardiac arrhythmia (heart beating irregularly and out of control).
Shocked back to "barely functioning" status by the doctors, Spidey realizes people are about to get killed unless he intervenes.
And then Spidey repeats the *SMvsFL feat.
Spidey pounds relentlessly on Angrir/Ben Grimm and manages to stop him and hurt him, and then uses a little scientific know-how to redirect another charged hammer swing at Ben, and manages to have Angrir run off.

Date: 2011-07-14 08:25 pm (UTC)Like when he took down Kingpin...
While all the Heralds can achieve FTL flight speed, the argument is that they must charge up/accelerate to achieve such speeds. Otherwise they would operate at Flash++ level speeds in everything they do.

Date: 2011-07-15 08:27 pm (UTC)The problem with your explanation is even IF Spidey managed to catch Firelord by surprise, it still doesn't explain how he actually managed to do any damage instead of, idk, annoying Firelord into submission. (Which would be a really hilarious fight, actually.)

Date: 2011-07-14 06:28 pm (UTC)There's a fake Spider-man
Date: 2011-07-14 08:16 pm (UTC)If by "every now and again" you mean "all the time, because this is how he's been written for years" then you're right.
Re: There's a fake Spider-man
Date: 2011-07-14 08:36 pm (UTC)The TRUE Spider-man is the one who fights on despite logic and overwhelming odds. He's the Spidey who still remembers the lessons taught to him by Uncle Ben and has matured over the years and learned from past mistakes. The one you feel genuine connection as a struggling hero who tries to do the RIGHT thing, instead of the easy thing.
The TRUE Spider-Man tends to appear in other people's titles, like the FF.

Date: 2011-07-14 08:57 pm (UTC)No, see, that IS the Spider-Man that's in Amazing right now. The guy who helped save a half dozen people in a cave in, which involved lowering them to the ground on a web while he was covered in rats. The guy who just recently decided that far too many people had died under his watch, and who resolved that it would never happen again.
The "fake" Spider-Man everyone loves to complain about is more or less a fabrication made up by angry fans who hate the status quo under "One More Day."
