No worries Gives me an amusing start to the day Also, with regards to your sig: I agree in general terms, but there is one exception: Spiderman. His webbing was artificial. This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: Jan 5 2014, 10:52 AM

Spiderman.
His webbing was artificial.
But it was his. He was mutated and got that ability and didnt need to use any technology like Batman and Iron Man do. No, he built a couple of devices to shoot webbing, one for each wrist. They changed it in the movies, but in the comics and the old cartoons it was technological, not biological.

I always rather liked that, just because it meant he was a superhero with a flaw, a weakness. The cartridges of artificial webbing he used occasionaly ran out at very bad times.

I had no idea about any of this, although I don't claim to be much of a comic book fan. I did once work for a man that had over $100,000 worth of comic books hidden away in a secret room of his house. It was pretty intense seeing someone spend that kind of money on books. Then again I spend lots on knives and firearms so I guess it isn't too crazy.

I do remember the old cartoon now when you talk about it. I always thought it was cheap that he used technology for the webb But aside from that he doesnt rely on technology entirely then and if he still had his spidersense, strength, agility and all that I guess I still consider him a real superhero. Though I do think he could just as well have been anything else than Spiderman. That webb is so characteristic and if he has precognition, strength and agility he could have been Tractorman or something

That webb is so characteristic and if he has precognition, strength and agility he could have been Tractorman or something Yeah, he's definitely a superhero, but one of the odd ones. But I prefer the old Spiderman with the techno webbing, because that's something he made, not something he got by chance. Puts him one up on some of the other superheroes in my opinion.

I prefer the new version then when he got it all and not used any technology for his superpowers. Both approaches though feel real but if hes supposed to be Spiderman hes gotta have the real webb imvho. To me its not "super" if its technology doing the work. Next topic?

Woah, woah, woah! Capes are still cool! And the problem with Batman's martial arts is that too many of his foes have guns. That really should end only one way.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Jan 5 2014, 10:35 AM) But Batmans suit is bulletproof, right? Like his helmet can withstand blows.
It might stop the bullets, but the sheer kinetic impacts are going to be a problem. And Batman has to hope they haven't got a sniper. Or the villains could simply break out the high explosives. Being armoured won't save Batman then. The armour might stop shrapnel and such, but the concussive force would pretty much crush him.
