    [realspoiler:c56d90897e]He always planned to ressurect her eh? Bullshit back peddling.[/realspoiler:c56d90897e]

    [realspoiler:c56d90897e]Why are people so surprised over this? It's not like it would be unexpected that he'd follow at least the basic outline of the 616 clone saga. Her return is what started the original clone saga too. [/realspoiler:c56d90897e]

    She did return in the 90s clone saga, but it didnt trigger it. Ben Reilly (the parker clone) returned to start it off in Power and Responsibility. Editorial evnetually made them throw the abandoned Gwen clone (who had a bunch of High Evolutionary crap with her as well that im not gettin in to) into the mix to "spice things up". Jackal also made a temperary Gwen clone unrelated to the returning original Gwen clone that promptly degenerated in front of Pete and Ben in Smoke and Mirrors. Yes. It is as complicated as it sounds.

    So yes, she returned in the 90s Clone Saga and no, she did not kick it off.

    Its just more Spidey stories...

    The first arc was pretty lame. It was about how all the animal based villians and heroes in New York were going crazy because of a shitty obscure villian. Oh, the art was shitty too.

    The latest issue was huge improvement. The plot was basically Doc Ock was pissed off from Pete revealing his identity and he wanted revenge. The art and story was pretty damn good.

    [spoiler:c8b7e41839] it refers to him revealing his identity. They've always shown him relishing the fact that he was the only one who knew his secret identity, he even mentions that, I believe, in the Marvel Knights Spider-Man arc where Aunt May is kidnapped. [/spoiler:c8b7e41839]

It seems that (as I have been guessing) that Peter is not going to put up with Tony for much longer. I can't see him really joining sides with anyone else though.

    They should have just set it after the that event in Frontline 4 where [spoiler:39583a8219]those heroes got captured[/spoiler:39583a8219] or something similar. It just didnt feel like it really worked to me that it would be set after Civil War 3 like that, if anything it should have used this issue as a lead up to the events in issue 3 and continued on a bit from there afterwards. Doesnt matter I suppose, it'll lead to the same outcome for the character either way.

    JMS doesn't pay attention to what other people write. As much as I liked the latest issue of ASM, Spider-Man has told the Avengers about his spider-sense on multiple occassions.

    And theres a few people who have figured it out in the past just by watching Spider-man fight, I wouldnt doubt someone Tony would be able to figure it out like that. Also does his spider-sense even supposed to work like that? I know alot writters tend to use it rather liberally but I thought that was a bit much.

    I wonder if he is to blame for the latest development in Peter's life? It seems like something he would do, based on his Trek proposal, but then again that seems like an editor's decision.

    I wanted to try 616 FF, but I'm hesitant because he's writing it. With Spider-Man, it will be easy enough to stick with one of the characters other books.

    Best case scenario: Tony reminds him he kinda told everyone.
    "Oh..did I?"
    "Yep. Like 30 times before we saw Scarlet Witch."

    Aside from the total disjoint feeling of this AMS issue (where it takes place in whole Civil War thing), what was up with Cap basically beating Spider-man? I know the fight was far from over when he left, but still, he should not be able to even come close to laying a hit on Spidey. And shouldnt that hitech armor suit at least offer some protection from this supposed nerve strike of Caps? And considering someone with a Spidersense, spider agility and speed, shouldnt he have been able to dodge just about any attack that would be near a nerve cluster? Like if he fluked a hit, Spidey should have been able to at least move enough to dodge a nerve strike and take it in a rib or something? It just made no sense that a normal (well, lets say slightly above Olympic level normal) human was able to put the smack down on him. On top of all that, Spidey's inner monologue makes note in what seems like a bragging tone that he drew first blood with one of his tentical things? Wheres the Spidey from CW 3 that owned half the Secret Avengers with stealth camo and shit? Whole fight seemed contrived and forced to prevent Spidey from one-shotting Cap.

    Spiderman would never be able to take Cap down with one punch. And Captain America is more than a match for Spiderman, phisically, and tacticaly far beyond him.

    Captain America Powers:

    Rogers in the regular Marvel Universe has no superhuman powers, although as a result of the Super-Soldier serum, he is transformed from a frail young man into a "nearly perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning. Captain America is as intelligent, strong, fast, agile, and durable as it is possible for a human being to be without being considered superhuman.

    Spidermans Powers:

    Spider-reflexes and agility

    Spider-Man's reflexes are roughly fifteen times faster than a normal person's, according to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Spider-Man 2004. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire. Due to the events of "The Other," the speed of his reflexes increased and they begin responding directly to his spider-sense and instinct, making him even faster, but also making him lash out at negligible threats. (Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #4)


    Enhanced strength and durability

    Spider-Man's strength varies widely due to artistic license. After gaining his powers, he could lift 10 tons.[issue # needed] His strength increased to 15 tons after the events of the "Disassembled" storyline.[issue # needed] Due to further mutation after "Spider-Man: The Other", his strength may have increased even further.


    Among many, many others.


    Please explain how he could not take Cap down with one punch and how Cap is "more than a match for Spiderman".
