![]() ![]() ![]() The Amazing Spider-Man #1 kicked off in a big way by immediately having Spidey take part in a crossover with the Fantastic Four. ![]() Realizing the Hulk would die if he didn’t intervene, Spider-Man flew into space and rescued his opponent. And the Hulk got knocked into zero gravity, so he wasn’t going to come back down. When the Hulk’s attack started to endanger nearby kids, Spider-Man finally struck and literally punched the Hulk into space. This was a Spider-Man who was faster, who didn’t need his webbing to go airborne, and had incredible strength- so incredible, in fact, that he was stronger than the Incredible Hulk. Spider-Man had recently acquired some cosmic god-like powers that greatly enhanced his abilities. Unfortunately for the Hulk, he picked a really bad time to challenge Spidey. He really did just overpower and nearly kill the Hulk with his own two hands. He’s won some pretty mismatched encounters that way, but his scuffle with the Hulk is a surprising case where Spider-Man didn’t have to be clever to win. So a lot of times Spider-Man has to use his mind to outwit his opponent. He’s superhuman, but with how abundant superheroes are, that still leaves plenty of people who are naturally faster and more powerful than he is. Obviously a hero like Spider-Man is not the strongest guy in pretty much any aspect. Wonder Woman conceded that since Spider-Man hadn't taken his shot to harm her, maybe this wasn't a fight worth pursuing. He finally ended the conflict by startling Diana with a tap on the shoulder to let her know he could be pummeling her right then if he wanted to. Surprisingly, Spider-Man gained the advantage by just killing the lights, leaving Wonder Woman flailing defenselessly while Peter could still get around in the dark with his Spider senses. But Peter became indignant once Diana attempted to catch him with her lasso, and refused to allow himself to be hogtied. Spider-Man didn't want to fight and initially just used his agility to keep himself alive while cracking jokes. Spider-Man didn't buy it for a second, but Wonder Woman didn't trust Marvel's poster boy and immediately started hurling objects at him. It was a very brief fight instigated by Doctor Doom where he told the two heroes that they were enemies. And because it's unavoidable in crossovers, the heroes also had to fight eventually, which led to Spider-Man having to fend off Wonder Woman. The Hulk and Wonder Woman also got side roles in the story that created more opportunity for a mix of personalities. One such time was in the Superman and Spider-Man comic, which saw the two heroes join together to take on Doctor Doom. Luke Cage realized Jonah Jameson wasn’t the most unbiased journalist, and also gained a newfound respect for Spider-Man’s fighting prowess.ĭespite Marvel and DC always being viewed as rivals, they have worked together on plenty of occasions as well. Spider-Man finally got fed up and webbed Cage up tight to force him to sit still and talk out their issues. But Cage also is a pretty determined guy, so he came back for a second round despite losing the first encounter. Spidey knew Osborn’s death wasn’t due to any malice or negligence on his part, and that righteousness led to him getting the better of the fight. This time Jameson decided he had to personally take steps to stop what he viewed as a menace, and he did so by hiring a mercenary by the name of Luke Cage.Ĭage had no trouble taking on the job, but the problem was that he was driven by money while Spider-Man had the truth on his side. Jonah Jameson more fuel for his hatred of Spider-Man. It led to Peter having to watch someone he cared about die, it led to Harry eventually taking up his father’s villainous mantle, and also gave J. The fallout of Norman Osborn’s death had a lot of obvious and well-known consequences. ![]()
