Spider-Man Harasses The Same Criminal For Decades...

This story is Amazing Fantasy #1000 . Its a great story especially if youre new to spider-man and what he stands for.

[@slospop1125]

Some heroes like Thor & Iron-man are best suited for fighting world ending threats, some heroes like DareDevil & Luke Cage are best for fighting smaller crimes and standing up for the little guys. Spider-man is that rare hero who can go back & forth between both.

No, it doesn't. it shows how he and the comic writers are ARROGANT because he does not realize that most 'crim'nals' are driven to what we call criminality by not being able to find jobs that will pay them enough to survive and thrive.

[@seanbigay1042]

This is what's called being a small-steps hero. You do a good thing now, no matter how small. The bigger stuff is next on your to-do list. This is how the great superheroes stay grounded. It's why Superman doesn't mind saving a treed kitten -- or talking a depressed girl down from committing suicide even when he's about to fight the biggest battle of his life. And it's why Spidey "keeps picking" on our pal Frankie -- and will go on "picking" on him until Frankie finally wises up. Of course, it helps when you've got friends. It detracts nothing from Spidey's big heart to point out that he can leave the city-stomping giants to guys like Thor.

[@elayemedidris7282]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Both Superman and Spider-Man are the beacons of hope in their respective universe. For Supes, he believes in the good of humanity because it's that same good that has allowed to be raised and loved by the Kents, regardless of where he came from. Kal can believe in it thanks to his parents. That's why when he doubts himself, he immediately goes to them and somehow someway, their wisdom and love reinvigorates him. Before his powers, comic Peter was bullied and wanted to make Flash Thompson and others like him pay. He was going to become more villainous if not for the lesson he learned that night as Spidey. Responsibility doesn't come easy to any teenager, especially Peter. That's exactly why he can make choices that some Avengers can't and during Civil War, redefined what a hero is while holding Captain America's shield.

[@1ProAssassin]

@@elayemedidris7282 I don't think Spiderman's normal state is a beacon of hope in the marvel universe. He's more like the soul/friend of the marvel universe. He does often become a beacon of hope when the chips are down but for a more nuanced reason than Superman whose seen as a beacon of hope due to being a strong steadfast cornerstone holding everything up. Spiderman is seen as a beacon of hope because even when he's down, even when things look bleak, even when the world seems to be doomed, so long as Spiderman is alive he tends to get back up again and follows his principles no matter what's thrown at him.

Why fixate on this particular creator?" Spidey is absolutely right, it doesn't matter how petty or small scale a crime is, a crime is still a crime. People aren't born evil, people become increasingly corrupt as they keep getting away with their heartless deeds.

[@d-manthecaptain1382]

My favorite example of Spidey considering quitting is Amazing Spider-Man #3. I think he considered quitting there? i haven't read that story in months, but I remember him being pretty miserable after losing to Doc Ock, the funny thing is that "Learning To Crawl" storyline that takes place during issues 1-2, so if you read them in chronological order Peter loses for the first time, to Clash, and considers quitting, and then after deciding not to give up, gets beaten for the first time again by Doc Ock and falls back into depression. It's also funny to read Amazing Fantasy issues 16, 17, and 18 when they take place, because then you have a three part story about Peter coming to grips with Uncle Ben's death and no longer blaming himself for everything, and then in the very first panel of the next story in issue 1 of Spider-Man he's angerily tossing his costume and yelling "Uncle Ben's dead and it's my fault!" I know it doesn't really have much to do with the story you covered, but hearing you talk about the times he's almost quit reminded me and i just had to mention them for anyone who didn't know.

[@jiffy2cool4u55]

I love it when comics get really deep and not so sad all the time for Spider-Man, it highlights his personality even better than just making him suffer. I mean we’ve seen him suffer so much already so seeing this for some reasons just is a way to highlight that notion of "the only thing standing between this city and oblivion is me" showing how his whole existence being so important in the way that everything could go wrong and would go wrong even for the littlest of things and that stopping all that can and needs to be stopped for the greater good should absolutely and without a doubt be done. Compared to all the paling superheroes and villains in the marvel universe ranging from genius ducks or fucking wizards and aliens except the point is not to show a very big powerful hero but just a guy standing for things to when compared to alien invasions look trivial but are in fact very important in reality. Probably the reason why Spider-Man is my favorite hero. He manages to stand up and make things right, he does not choose one of two very bad things, except he ignores the choice he has and prefers doing everything he possibly can to make both choices righteous again. Even if that implies he needs to make more efforts than he could possibly make. He is godlike at this point. His sheer will to fight everything and everyone at once is jaw breaking to look at in the cinemas or read in the comics or play as in the games. Truly this is one of those heroes who isn’t unstoppable because he is overpowered but only because he has the ever loving will to use every possible way to do the right thing as minimal as the actual outcome could get. Of course pardon my mistakes of writing, I’m a little young and language ain’t my resort. I love Spider-Man and you should too.

That's also some quite genious idea for a criminal, dude knows at this point that whenever some alien or extra-dimensional or whatever crisis happens, every Superhero is just gonna save the day and things go back to normal but that also means they aren't gonna focus on some smaller crime going on, and that's why Spider-Man is such a great foil to him, because to him, no crime is too small, other heroes can handle the mega aliens while he stops the crime, which is also more than likely not gonna take him more than five minutes tops before he can go back and help them with that

[@VideoGamesAsMovies]

Nobody's gonna mention that the criminal is basically Paulie Gualtieri from The Sopranos? 😂

[@woodrobin]

The trippy thing here is that it basically recognizes the uneven application and bizarre psychosis of the Sliding Timescale in Marvel Comics (possible actually caused by Franklin Richards). It recognizes that Spider-Man has been stopping this burglar for literally decades, and we see the burglar age, but Spider-Man doesn't, or at least doesn't at anything close to the same rate. And *neither one of them seems to notice* the difference. Basically, every character regularly featured in comics ages according to the Sliding Timescale, and everyone else ages in real time. And except for very rare characters like the Blonde Phantom, no one ever notices that it's happening. Some characters have an excuse: Doctor Strange mystically purged himself of all fear of Death and now no longer ages and cannot die from internal causes (disease, cancer, etc) but only from external forces; Thor, Hercules, etc are immortal gods; Steve Rogers has the Super-Soldier Serum, and Black Widow, Winter Soldier, and Nick Fury have/had variations on it. But MJ Watson? Aunt May? J. Jonah Jameson? Jarvis? And how long was Franklin Richards *FOUR YEARS OLD* ? Answer: as long as he wanted to be, and the whole universe bent around it.

I feel like this is the reason I feel he is mostly referred to as Peter more than Spider-Man by comic fans.
