I thought maybe him overcoming death in Superior Spiderman would be on the never quit list. His consciousness got deleted by Doc Ock but he found a way back from that.

nope. that’s just comic books comic book-ing

If this be my destiny has got to be the greatest spider man story ever

[@void7683]

Yes i love it I read it all the time

[@Bluesit32]

It wasn't just his radioactive blood. Spidey had injected himself with radioactive material. Not enough to kill him but Pete was not feeling too good afterward. And Kraven's Last Hunt was a masterpiece that was criminal to have undone. They tried to fix it in the recent "Hunted" storyline but they never should have brought him back to begin it.

[@firepuppies4086]

@Wasa Few And May is his aunt, he already lost his uncle due to his inaction. After that he would logically jump at any chance to save his family

[@j.z.8639]

Aunt May was the closest thing he had to a mother, I'd do the same. Spider-Man gets a lot of girls anyways. You can replace a lover but not a mother. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@WayneManor666]

Spiderman injected hiimself with a high amount of radiation, nearly killing him in the begining.

[@LordKohaegan]

No one ever brings up the short arc from the 90s when he became "the Spider" and totally ignored his human friends and family. He basically spiraled into depression and just became a secluded savage, it's still one of my favorite Spider-man stories. I remember he fought Kraven in a great battle near the end of it. It was such a good story and no one ever brings it up, I stil have the comics.

[@Bluesit32]

I hated that time. He didn't feel like Spider-Man anymore. No jokes, always ranting in his head...of all the characters to try and make edgy, it shouldn't be Spidey.

[@LordKohaegan]

@@Bluesit32 that was the best part, he was such a different Spider-Man and the reasons were valid. He basically snapped

I liked that era, the clone saga stuff, I thought it was great

[@LordKohaegan]

@@epicmegaelectricboogaloobo5080 Me too, people like to hate on the clone saga but I thought it was engaging and mysterious. I really liked Mark Bagley's art at the time too.

[@omarlawrence5239]

One of Spider-Man’s greatest wins was during secret wars or when he gave up his universal powers. Greatest loses separating from MJ and losing his aunt May. Also taking a lost is his social life and his wallet. The guy is pretty much one thought less than a genius working for a newspaper.

[@chriss.249]

Morlun is by far the STRONGEST spidey villain. Suffice it to say Morlun could probably solo most if not ALL Spideys villains. The fact that spidey was able to beat him not once, not twice, but THREE times speaks VOLUMES to his determination, heart, and spirit💯🔥

[@edoardograzioli6517]

I think that at least rhino is as strong if not stronger and we know morlun won't battle with intellect as spidey.electro could be a threat if he's not jobbing.same for Mysterio and sandman .and we're not taking account of guys like juggernaut or doc.doom.

[@chriss.249]

@Danny Stuivenberg I mean kinda, but as I told the OTHER guy above u, he's not just a LITTLE stronger than spidey, but FAR superior, HIS feats blow the OTHER villains out of the WATER if we being honest here. There's also the fact that traditional attacks don't really phase morlun either. He shrugged off STABS from WOLVERINE like they were papercuts and 1 shot bro. He put so much FEAR in an alternate universe Captain America's heart that cap literally said "I'm glad he was only here to kill 2099 and not US" after morlun dipped out. Not many characters can DO that after only being around cap for 5 minutes. Morlun is 1 of the only villains that can shut spideys jokes up too. And what's worse? He's not even the strongest in his family😱 Solus can go toe to toe with CAPTAIN UNIVERSE and take blasts from him, none of Spideys rouges can do sumn THAT crazy lol. The inheritors are just plain BROKEN bruh😭

[@terrygracy8345]

Morlun storyline wasn’t great.

@@terrygracy8345 Whats the criteria for a good storyline? Can u give me 5 points?

[@terrygracy8345]

@@chriss.249 stick to canon - rewriting possible origins stinks of Days of Our Lives and lazy writing Stick to canon. Again. So mint later marvel stories were one offs, never to be heard from again after they concluded. Again, lazy writing Keep it within the specs of the character. Can they really do this or does it fit their character? Brand New Day is a terrific example of stupid as shit ideas getting penned. Is it interesting. This is subjective of course. We all have different ideas of good/ great Introduce new characters is a must. But someone so potentially important and powerful needs a better reason for showing up “now”. My opinion there. I don’t mind the character as much as what felt like laziness. Marvel has had plenty of shit writing throughout the decades. It’s also had some absolutely fantastic stories. I felt this wasn’t one of them. Reasons stated

Something tells me Spider-Man could be one of the best recruits on the lantern corps if they ever do a crossover again.

@@riddhimandas4458 A Harald of Galactus powered by the Power Cosmic gets beaten convincingly, I might add, by Spider-Man. Spider-Man is far too low on the power scale for me to think that was a believable outcome. Its like Black Panther beating Silver Surfer with a Full Nelson.

[@wallsterrence]

Well spiderman did try to blow him up twice then went completely punch happy

[@jcrprod.co.6973]

I know this is basically the same as the moment from If This Be My Destiny, but i ❤ the MCU's adaptation of the scene; where Vulture collapses a building on him, he recalls Iron Man's words ("If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it."), & he lifts the rubble off of himself. Honestly, that moment made me a Spidey fan again!
