Spiderman is such a weak superhero


He has some powers(that only work in big cities by the way), I think his initial appeal was that he was a geeky loser who somehow got powers and used them for the greater good. But if you put him with the Avengers he is a little useless.

What bothers me the most is his death

The Stones turned into ash Winter Soldier vibranium arm in a second, there is no way Spidey healing factor could have delayed his death a full minute

reply

What are you talking about? Spidey has no healing factor and he disappeared along with everyone else. He just sensed it before them.

reply

While I agree with you about everything else, he kinda does have a healing factor. Not in the wolverine kind of way, but he's always healed from injuries at a highly accelerated rate (days instead of weeks. Not seconds instead of days.).


Not that it matters here at all. All he had was a heads up that he was about to become kitty litter.

reply

What you described is accelerated healing, not a healing factor. Those are two different things.

Additionally, we haven't seen this version displaying one, although it's likely he has one.

reply

You could clearly see the timing for everyone fading was randomized. And Spider-man's spider-sense was predicting the fade before it happened. WTF are you talking about with the healing factor? He doesn't have one and even if he did it only heals physical damage and it wouldn't slow down the fade.

reply

It's a cliche, but Spidey is the heart of the team.

reply

He's got more powers than Black Widow!

reply

Or Hawkeye! Hawkeye got.. umm.. shooty shooty arrows.

reply

Black Widow is more useless than him though. But I only feel he is weak as far as strength is concerned. Other than that, he has some interesting abilities.

reply

For sheer physical strength, he's among the strongest of Marvel's superheroes, significantly stronger than, say, Captain America. His other abilities make him one of the most powerful hero on Earth.

reply

He's of much more use than Captain America, Black Widow, Falcon, Bucky, Hawkeye, WarMachine, Black Panther.

reply

Cap and Bucky don't belong with the others you listed because they have enhanced powers.

reply

So does Black Panther.

reply

Yes, they have enhanced powers. But I'm sure Spiderman would easily beat Captain America and Bucky. Black Panther, given his suit, would probably put up a fight.

Now imagine they don't have their suits. Bucky and Cap remain the same, BP is now on par with Cap. Spiderman doesn't have his web shooters but he's still just as strong as the rest, probably a bit stronger, also there's his Spidey sense that gives him an edge even if he's just as strong as Cap.

reply

Agreed, Spidey beats any of the three in a one-on-one fight.

reply

Iron-Man can't even beat those two.

reply

Spiderman is awesome. Too bad Marvel made him a teeny bopper.

reply

Spider-Man even in the new movies is super strong. We see him lifting that heavy trailer in Civil War. Then there's that scene towards the end of his own movie where he lifts all that rubble off him.
