Spider-sense question

[Doctor Octopus]

If you were unfamiliar w/the comics, would you think the spider-sense only alerted him to threats he couldn't see or wasn't aware of?

Just watching SM-2??

Yes. Every time it went off it was for dangers he did not actually see.

Like the car & the rapidly approaching end of the line for the train.

I think it more like a six sense I even heard in old spider-man comic that a villain commented on the difficulty of catching him, "its like he has some sort of six sense or somwthin' "

It is. And it in fact reacts to all dangers (Except for Venom, Carnage, & for some odd reason clones) regardless of whether or not he's already aware of them. Now sopme writers like to argue that it does not respond to anyone whom he doesn't consciously deem a threat. Example: He knows Aunt May would never hurt him, so if she came up behind him wanting to hit him in the back of the head, he'd never know. I think that's just stupid. But I digress.
