Talk:Spider-Man/Archive 1

message: this could still use fleshing out....  :-)  no mention of the death of Aunt May or of Gwen Stacy, or even his marriage to Mary Jane, not to mention the whole "clone" business....
Also, I didn't add the image which was probably copyrighted; but thanks for taking it down.  I did recently (May 21) e-mail the people at King Features and Marvel Comics asking if there were any images in the public domain.  But, since Spider-Man is I think a trademark, I wouldn't expect it.... Awaiting a response
:(later) I've gotten a rather prompt response from one of the public relations people, who has assured me that to his knowledge no image of Spider-Man is in the public domain.  Therefore no image of Spider-Man may be posted here, as it would conflict with Wikipedia's licensing terms.
:Since visual aspects are an important part of a comic book/bande dessinée/manga, could we not, at least, include one image and put it "fair use"?  I know some are kind of scared of the fairuse template, but is it so terrible for one picture?  Isn't it what it is for? --Liberlogos 12:46, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Is there any evidence that the character was based on the Tarantula other than "well, he's a spider-type guy?"
Were his parents ever actually agents of SHIELD?  Yes, the cover of the flashback issue of Untold Tales of Spider-Man says so, but they aren't working for SHIELD in the comic (it didn't exist yet).

replies: text: And has been through a few retcons and enhancements. A number of people have expressed the view that an everyman hero should not be the son of top secret agents. In the "robot parents" storyline that ran on and off in Amazing #365-388, the imposter parents state that they were actually couriers of secret documents (a step towards normality) whom the Red Skull (the second one - explaining that is a minefield in itself) tried to recruit. Instead they informed US intelligence and became double agents even though they weren't trained spies. Both the Avengers' and the Red Skull's databases support this when Spidey checks them.

message: are spidey and webslinger really aliases. shouldn't it be stuff like Dusk, Hornet, Prodgidy, Ricochet - some other names hes used? (16:34, 4 Mar 2005 GingerM
:Sign your posts, huh?
:It's "Notable Aliases". I think the ones there are pushing it (especially "Webslinger" and "Wallcrawler," but given that he only used the ID Crisis names for two issues each (plus three of them "cameoed" in one of the ASM issues), I think you'd be pushing it to call them "Notable" SoM 18:08, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Why shouldn't they be counted as relatives? The definition of 'relative' we're using is to be related via blood. Clones are certainly related by blood.

message: I would consider Albert Malik/Red Skull as the leading villain in the Spider-Man 3 movie because he killed Peter Parker's parents. I would also consider that some of the possible villains of the third movie would be pawns of Red Skull. --Ed Telerionus 19:25, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Utterly unlikely. Bringing in a villain heavily associated with another property is a nightmare for the rights. A veteran Nazi (let alone their temporary imposter) is not a natural Spider-Man villain. And, as noted above, everyday folk aren't the children of spies of one form or another. A Spider-Man specific villain would be a much better bet. Timrollpickering 17:55, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spider-Man 3: Revenge 

message: Spider-Man has one of the best-known rogues galleries (list of enemies) in comics. Among the most infamous supervillains he encounters regularly are:
Some of the entries on this list look suspect. Can I suggest we limit it to the big hitters and mainly Spidey villains. Of the current list here are my thoughts:
* Batwing
Who are they?
* Beetle
Fair enough.
* Beyonder
Supeme cosmic being (or something) but not really a Spidey specific villain, or even a villain at all.
* Big Wheel
* Black Cat (reformed)
Both fair play.
* Black Knight (Nathan Garrett)
When did he take on Spider-Man? I thought he was mainly a Giant Man and Avengers villain.
* Black Tarantula
Is he alive in the present day? (I thought he was just a Spider-Girl villain.)
* Carnage
* Carrion
* Chameleon
* Cyclone
* Demogoblin
All started out in Spidey, tair play.
* Doctor Doom
Okay he's the uber villain for Marvel but he's fought Spidey several times.
* Doctor Octopus
* Doppelganger
* Electro
Fair do.
* Gibbon
Who are they?
* Green Goblin
Would it be better to separate out the four villain goblins?
* Grizzly
* Hammerhead
* Hobgoblin
* Hydro-Man
* Kaine
* Kangaroo I and II
* Kingpin
* Kraven the Hunter
* Lizard
Mainlt obvious ones.
* Magneto
There was a battle in the Acts of Vengeance crossover, but that was mainly devised around heroes fighting other villains. When has he ever fought Spidey alone at any other time?
* Mister Hyde
* Morbius
* Mysterio
* The Owl
Fair do, though he's more commonly associated with Daredevil.
* Plantman
Was he ever actually a Spidey villain?
* Puma
* Rhino
* Rocket Racer (reformed)
* Sandman
* Scorpion
* Shocker
* Shriek
* Silvermane
* Spider-Slayers/Alistair Smythe
Obviously throw in Spencer Smyth as well.
* Spot
Hehe - why not.
* Styx and Stone
Who are they?
* Tarantula I and II
* Taskmaster
Another generic villain - how many times has he actually fought Spidey?
* The Rose
Obvious one...
* The Thousand
Who are they?
* Tinkerer
* Tombstone
* Venom
* Vermin
* Vulture
* Walrus
* White Rabbit
All pretty much okay.
* Will O' Wisp
Is he actually a villain - I thought he and Spidey had teamed up a lot.
* Wizard
Again are they really a Spidey villain? Timrollpickering 18:19, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "The Thousand" was a villain who appeared in the first three issue arc of Tangled Web, created by Garth Ennis. It's doubtful he'll ever appear again, and doesn't need to be there. Elijya 19:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Since Steve Ditko is the artist who, with Stan Lee, created Spider-Man, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use a Ditko illustration of the character for the "Spider-Man" article? (Of course, it would be even better to delete all the Marvle puff pieces altogether, as advertising doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, even a Wikipedia.)
:Makes sense - or else one by John Romita Sr as the artist that everyone seems to copy the most. Timrollpickering 10:27, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Under Comics that feature Spider-Man and Finished series there were some titles missing but when I checked "edit this page" they are there. I put a br-tag in and now they show up but maybe someone can check the code because I don't se why you should need that tag. 130.241.18.31 09:08, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Titels missing 

message: :Spider-Man's constant talking during battle has made him somewhat notorious among both his super-powered enemies and friends as a person who can be especially aggrivating to deal with.
:Spider-Man is widely considered the undisputed master of this form of banter. At one point his trash talking ever left a defeated Doctor Octopus with a complex resulting in a phobia of the hero.
:which, in turn, was cancelled in 2006 and replaced by new book Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
None of this is documented or attributed. It's also poorly written, and refers to 2006 in the past-tense. Themindset 22:55, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  reverted the following text 

message: :	Spider-Man eXXXposed was a backstory of sorts that focused on the character Peter Parker and his desperate need to make money. Directed by Jake Billion, the film takes place somewhere between Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. During this time Peter Parker was running low on money, as he refused to take pictures of Spider-Man for the newspaper anymore. Suddenly he caves in and decides that half nude pictures of Spider-Man would surely pull in large amounts of money. The title comes from the following dialogue found in the movie:	 
*"Perfect Parker! I can see the headlines now! Spider-Man Exposed! With a triple X!" -J. Jonah Jameson
