This is a thing I forget about Peter all of the time. It’s not something used in the comics often, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s definitely in Peter’s wheelhouse. Fortunately, I’m not afraid of bugs or many creepy things, so my love of the Web-Head is not messed with. I was pretty surprised by how many people I met in my adult life that hate spiders. I would want to talk about how some spiders eat birds, or how they have cool mating rituals, or how the Trap Door spider has the weirdest, most intricate back….and would be told to GO AWAY. It’s a fear so prominent for several of these friends, that they cite that as their reason for not liking Spider-Man. Since Pete is usually so preoccupied with saving New York and doing his homework, I forget to regard him in that context. But when I acknowledge it…yeah, that dude could be mad creepy.
Pete, never change.
Please.
Thanks for stopping!
