Spiderman vs...

[shaunclinton]

...Anyone!!!

Who do you think pushes the limits of Spiderman?

Spidey vs. X-men?

Spidey vs. Fantastic Four?

Spidey vs. The Avengers?

Okay, so probably not so much on the last one!!!

I'm curious as to what you all think as it has at various points been suggested that Spidey could handle the X-men (depending on roster, certainly the original one) and probably could take the FF!!!

Other novel suggestions include the Strazinikisinkintiszi Spidey asserting that he could "beat the Hulk, but not without killing him" which is bizarre!

Any thoughts?

In Spidey's own comic, he could beat any of them including the Avengers.

Unless Spiderman takes them out first both Marvel Girl and the Invisible Woman could take out Spiderman solo.

Anyone who's followed Spidey for a long time knows that you don't piss him off. When truly angry he can beat anyone.

Spidey has super-reflexes with a danger sense, superhuman strength, a keen mind, oodles of experience, and a one heck of a will to win. And then there's the webbing. He's pretty darn bad to the bone. I can see him giving most groups a tough time but the Avengers have Thor. 'Nuff said.

Not sure that I would go quite as far as saying Spidey could take on whole teams of front liners, but he has legitimately beaten Firelord before, so one on one, it's hard to put anyone out of his league. He's just so experienced and so smart. He can out think almost anyone. If you read his comic, that's usually what happens, he loses the first round because he doesn't know the lay of the land(i.e. - who he is fighting, what their goals are, in some cases what their powers are). But once he can assess the situation, he can come up with a plan to get the job done.

I don't really see much point in discussing it, really. Spidey is pretty much Marvels top iconic character, and as such he gets a whole lot of writer fiat that lets him win, period. Same thing that Supes and Bats have in DC. my $.02

From what I've been told, Spider-Man took on the X-Men in Secret Wars and since he does have a highly effective in combat danger sense and probably the most agile hero in the Marvel U, he schooled them....until Xavier pulled a mind whamy on him.

Also he did take on the Avengers in one of the early issues of the Marvel Knights Spider-Man (there was a misunderstanding when he broke into the mansion) and was really holding his own until Quicksilver showed up.

As for the FF, the only thing I can think of is waaaay back in Amazing Spider-Man #1. IIRC, he broke into the Baxter Building and got into a fight with them simply so he could show him what he could do in hopes of getting hired by them. If anyone knows if this is what happened or not let me know, I wouldn't mind expanding my knowledge of the character.

What about Spiderman Vs Batman? That would be one fight I would love to see. (Not in the same league as Batman Vs Captain America, but still . . .)

Yeah, that would be over quick.

"Don't get in my way. I've studied 32 martial arts and there are dozens of ways I could take you down without breaking a sweat. I..."

THWIPP!

"Hey, nice cape. Since you're dressed like a bat, I'm sure you won't mind being hung upside down for a while."

That is assuming that Spidey got the drop on Batman. Remember that Spidey may be experianced, and he may be clever, but Batman is on a whole other level tactically, strategicaly and Gadgeteeringly. He would probably bushwack Spidey. It can be done.Somehow. And Batman has fought Superman to a standstill, using cunning and Strategy. Spidey is twice as vulnerable to psychological manipulation as Supes. I do love the quip though. It is purest Spidey.

And remember an 80 year old man in a flight suit has given Spiderman a battle.

Let's see...Vulture... ...Penguin...yeah, I'd take Vulture in that one.

Whose assertion was this, J. Michael's or Spiderman's?

I can't see how Spidey could beat the Hulk, but as always, the host comic is gonna have the right-of-way. In other words, it'll go however the writers want it to go.

I remember reading Spidey tell MJ about how he could beat The Hulk. It was basiclly using his speed and agility to avoid his blows and wear him out until he reverts back to Bruce Banner.
