If we go buy Spiders then Spider-Man should have more arms and eyes.

Don't bring up that Man-Spider nonsense again.Kool-Aid said:If we go by Spiders then Spider-Man should have more arms and eyes.
Agreed - every superhero needs limitations to his powers, so it seems perfectly reasonable that Spidey's limitations should be similar to that of a spider's. What's the big deal?Chris Wallace said:Don't bring up that Man-Spider nonsense again.
And comeon, I'm not saying that he should be totally limited to what spiders actually do; I don't want him eating bugs or anything like that. But the parameters of what he should be able to do should at least reflect his name & motif; having him flying or gliding is just ridiculous. You might as well give him missiles & have fire shoot out of his eyes.

And its legs are long, so the name does fit. It's just there happens to be a particularly adorable type of spider that also has that name.Odin's Lapdog said:It's colloquially called a daddy long leg.
Like "thong". My grandmother said she liked to wear thongs to the beach, I nearly had to gouge my inner eye out with a mental fork. She just meant "flip-flops".Odin's Lapdog said:can't two things share the same name anymore on this glorious planet of ours?

hehehe, i had a friend who went to austrailia for a year who had a similar comment, it certainly does paint a picture.AnimeJune said:Like "thong". My grandmother said she liked to wear thongs to the beach, I nearly had to gouge my inner eye out with a mental fork. She just meant "flip-flops".

Spideyssuperfan said:i thought of that but i never liked it for a few reasons:
A) It wouldnt be precise
B) He couldn't aim
C) It would make his running difficult
D) Comics would seem awkward if he had to replace those cartiges as many times as he did his wrist mounted ones
E)They would serve no purpose in combat.

hitting the wall is better then hitting the ground, depending on how high they are, and it would slow him down enough to give him time to change position to repel off the wall, or at least turn his back to it so the other person don't get hit.
of course the wrist mounted ones dont affect his acrobatics or wall crawling. They conform to the contours of his hand obviously. But his ankle would never stay in the 3 basic positions that his wrist does. The ankle mounted ones would need to be higher up on the leg at a more prone position.
on the ankle higher up on the leg its still the same concept, whatever works, it would still do the same thing.
Honestly, ankle mounted webshooters are the dumbest ideas ever.
didn't you say you thought of it too, so it was your dumb idea as well. lol

And if someone had him in a bear hug so much so that he couldnt move at all, how the hell would shooting webs from his feet help? If he's in a bear hug, his feet are aimed at the floor. What's he gonna do, web the floor up?
