Honorable mention to the moment Osborn faced Spider-Man for the nth time and realized that it’s real Spider-Man, not Otto.

The panel of his face is just perfect

Something we’ll sadly never get to see in the MCU, that would’ve been hilarious.

[@johnnyfive222]

Nick Grimes I loved that moment as well. Superior Spider-man is very underrated run. A lot of people hate it because of Dan Slot. The art is fantastic and I just love Doc Ock's Character as Spider-man in that run. When Osborne realizes Spider-man is back by Peter telling a simple joke it was a great moment.

My ONLY issue (heh, puns) with this episode is that Sal missed the Cletus Cassidy reference when Pete is researching Black Cat's dad, but it's really blink you miss it, so I'm not super bothered by it.

[@timshady237]

J Jonah Jameson’s character growth is incredibly satisfying to watch unfold. How does Bendis do so much right in Ultimate Spider-Man, but can’t seem to grasp Superman’s character? I digress - great Back Issues, ComicPop!

[@TimedRevolver]

Think you just answered your own question, really.

[@thebeavpercabethftw9604]

I actually disagree, not that Ultimate Jonah doesn't grow, but that 616 Jonah does as well. If you pay attention to current comics, Jonah is actually a supporter of Spider-Man now. Sure, it took him longer than the Ultimate version, but it still happened.

[@hadesshivabuddhachrist8573]

Bendis burned himself out with a massive workload and isn't as desperate to make a name for himself. Add to that him switching up his stylistic influence from Scorsese/ Tarantino to Gilmore Girls. Add to that him having some weird baggage about race where he has to rewrite his own history to sound like a civil rights martyr for including popular character Luke Cage in an Avengers line-up. Which I think stems from buying into the pseudo social science about kids needing same race role models, having to (adopted I think) black daughters, then looking at the characters he'd created in his first decade of popularity (Deena Pilgrim, Christian Walker, Quake, Geldof, The Night Nurse, Jessica Jones, Lucia Von Bardas, Maria Hill, The Collective) realizing they're all white with one exception that's not wholly original (he did recreate an originally Caucasian character into a non-white one with Ultimate Nick Fury) getting a massive dose of white guilt and overcompensating. Add to that getting promised a significant payday and respect and prominence as part of Marvels writing council for the films until that was disbanded. We're left with someone who's potentially demoralized in several ways professionally and personally and has been a workaholic for well over a decade. I'm not shocked there was a decline in his work. He should really take a break at some point to bounce back.

[@megamonmon]

Id say he gets superman down solid. Its everything else thats the problem

[@TheGreatDevlin]

I think Ben should sit in the middle for all Black Cat episodes. He's the true expert there.

39:59 This moment is proof that Kingpin should have been the one to kill Spider-Man. He was the true antagonist to the series and Peter's greatest threat. Just hearing this dialogue from Sal makes me imagine the fight between the two on the front lawn of Peter's home. And it's an image that I would want to commission someone to draw and paint for my own room.

When I was a boy ….. the Ultimate comics line was announced with some unknown indie creator called Bendis. Was awhile before I was willing to accept it enough to give it a look with Ultimate X-Men number 11. Dipped out of Ultimate Spider-Man before this point, definitely piqued my interest for when I eventually revisit it.

[@grantlockley7926]

[@liverusrock6789]

For someone like Bendis who likes to write Noir character and such, you would think he could write a good Punisher... How wrong you'd be. I think the only book where he wrote a good Punisher was Daredevil End of Days and that's it.
