5. Spider-Man Avenger Oy Veh!
Ok, so Spidey finally makes the big leagues, joining the prestigous ranks of the Avengers alongside, hero's like, Captain America, Iron Man, uh Spider-Woman... Luke Cage, er, Wolverine, is this really the lineup? Basically Spidey's role on the team is to make stupid jokes and be told to shut the **** up. Ignoring the fact that he could mop the floor with half the team, hes just the guy the team gives dirty looks too, by talking at inapropriate situations. Not to mention Bendis, has this obsession with writing Spidey as some sort of Jewish stereotype (They don't walk around talking about bagels you asswipe!) Not to mention his other obsession, with seeing Peter with his mask off. Mmmm second issue of the series, Peter gets his mask taken off and his arm broken by Jigsaw of all people. I mean how many times has the Punisher killed that guy!? And the goddamn Amazing Spider-Man can't even handle him!? Sheesh, it gets worse. Spidey gets beaten up and stripped naked, by some Savage land goons. Than he gets flung about fifteen miles by the Wrecker, than he gets his ass kicked by a bunch of Ninja's and the Void,. Finally capping off his uselessness on the team, Peter gets telepathically raped, while stupidly talking to his "boss", about the House of M. Once again he gets unmasked, humilitated and pumped for information, and has to rely on Power Man to save his ass. It was honestly like having your parents pick you up from the principals office.
4. Ultimate Spider-Man Carnage to Hobgoblin: Nineteen issues of ****
You like Carnage?, No neither do I. Thats how Ultimate 60 started and I knew I would be bored for the next five issues, but little did I know how bad it would become. From Gwen dying quickly and inexplicitly, to Peter fighting Carnage in his underwear. Carnage is killed, Peter acts all sulky, Black Reilly runs off. The next issue had Spider-Man in detention the entire time, with some intresting character development, that was never again to be picked up on. Than we had the freaky friday arc, than a nothing Human torch story, and finally another two part dream sequence. Can you believe all three of these craptastic two parters are actually,sold in a trade?
. Ok but whatever, Ultimate Hobgoblin is here to save the day! Oh wait its Harry Osborn, and he looks exactly like Green Gob, only orange. And MJ is being written extremely stupid so we all hate her and want her out of the books. Orange Crush goblin doesn't speak english and rants and raves and smashes stuff. Peter breaks up with MJ. The End.
Luckily Bendis quickly turned things around, giving us Warriors, Annual 1, Sable, Deadpool, and Morbious. And in a week Clone Saga~!
3. Ben who?
Hmmm, you know what's an ******* thing to do? Forgetting your brothers birthday. You know whats even worse? Forgetting your brother completley! Thats what Parker has been written as, ignoring the memory of the guy who saved his life, and casting him aside as "just a clone". "Oh what Torch? no that was my clone, its best to just skip over that period and forget it ever happened" Man if Benjy ever came back, Marvel would have some serious amunition for a vendetta against Pete. Just a clone? The guy jumped in front of a freaking Glider to save you!
2. That Spider bite must've taken a few brain cells with it,
"Duh, me have shiny costume, me have Tony Stark, he Iron Man, he protect me and family, me unmask infront of Cameras. Me upstanding citizen" Peter Parker, has become a very, very special boy as off late, by taking off his mask. Considering all the ramifications this little move could have on his family its quite obvious from the start that it is a very, very bad move. However inspired by Aunt May telling him that he has nothing to hide, (hasn't she been locked in a box for a year and buried alive by Norman Osborn?) Peter decides to takes off his mask, and show the world the famous Parker baby blues. Unfortunatly, he is now being sued by the Bugle, he is now being targeted by every single villain known to man, MJ and May are now living in constant danger forever, and of course, he has to now join Iron Mans hero gestapo. This is really, really bad writing. A seven year old would've known the effects of this particular move, so why the hell wouldn't have Mister Scholarship? Christ, register with the government, and than have Tony tell everyone you've registered, but you need to protect your family. Honsetly when your rogues gallery, is larger than every single New Avenger's combined, you can't just take off your mask and expect to be safe. How stupid can you get!?
