We had a game last night and a debate on the wording for the Amazing Spider-man attack Spider Strike trigger Momentum came up. Could you clear this up as there are 2 very different interpretations. It really centers around if Amazing Spider-Man is placed or the targeted enemy is placed.
1. Choose another enemy character within 2 of the Spider Strike target enemy character. Place Amazing Spider-Man within 1 of the chosen character. The chosen character takes collision damage (size 2 - Spider-Man size). Amazing Spider-Man takes no damage.
2. Choose another enemy character within 2 of the Spider Strike target enemy character. Place the Spider Strike target enemy character within 1 of the chosen character. The chosen character takes collision damage (size of the Spider Strike target enemy character size). Spider Strike target enemy character takes no damage.
In this case for momentum it would be case 1 above, ie amazing spider man is placed within 1 of the other enemy character. The enemy character would have to make a damage roll as if amazing spiderman was thrown into them.
I've decided to create a repository of Spider-Man's greatest feats with their sources included, since many other respect threads have broken links or don't include sources. Spider-Man is one of the best comic book characters ever, so it is time he got a respect thread worthy of him. There are going to be no limits on what can and can't be included here, so please feel free to PM me or post scans below for me to add (but please, try and provide sources for all scans)! If you can provide sources for the minority of uncited feats, that would be greatly appreciated as well. I will add your name to the credits list if you do contribute to improving this thread in any way. :)
The headings below all contain hyper-links to their respective sections. You can click any of the main headings (the whole number ones - ex. strength or durability) to be transported directly to that section, or you can just scroll down the thread at your leisure. I have also tried to order feats in each sub-category by impressiveness, though that was obviously subjective, so your mileage may vary. If you really think something needs to be re-ordered, feel free to shoot me a PM or post down below.
Spider-Man is barely affected by the two headshots from Venom that were so powerful they cracked the concrete and then metal underneath - despite the fact that Venom is also suffocating him while beating him (Amazing Spider-Man 375)
A brainwashed Spider-Man moves so quickly Daredevil can barely keep track of him, and punches so quickly that Daredevil couldn't avoid a punch even though he knew Spider-Man was planning to punch him (Amazing Spider-Man 438)
Spider-Man's spider-sense lets him position his body to minimize harm from attacks he can't dodge - in this case, he moves in a way so that tracking bullets miss all his vital organs (Amazing Spider-Man 572)
Spider-Man is invited to a council of the world's greatest minds to help stop an alien virus. He's the first one to figure out the key to temporarily stopping it, and then creates a cure with help from Beast and Monica Rappaccini. (All-New Wolverine 21/22)
Spider-Man is one of the few minds who can understand the field of meta-science (Amazing Spider-Man 658). For reference, even Tony Stark said meta-physics was his kryptonite (Tony Stark: Iron Man 13).
Spider-Man uses his theory and his pattern recognition skills to figure out how to stop an "alien invasion" even though the likes of Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy couldn't (Amazing Spider-Man v5 1)
Spider-Man figures out how to stop the explosion of a self-recharging power source in seconds, and, in doing so, shows more expertise with sound frequencies than Clash - genius scientist Clayton Cole, who specializes in sonics (Amazing Spider-Man 790)
In a few hours, Spider-Man builds a portable enervator which can manipulate life force, either totally draining the vitality from any living organism or magnifying their power hundreds of times over (various; each scan has the source in the description)
Spider-Man builds a brain-swapping device while possessing Doc Ock's body (Amazing Spider-Man 700) - for comparison, many top minds in the Marvel Universe have struggled building similar gear, including Iron Man, who was only able to build brain upload gear by stealing tech from five different sources (Iron Man: Hypervelocity 3)
Spider-Man figures out the origin of the Green Flu even though the best medical minds in New York are stumped by it, and the Avengers (including Hank Pym and Hank McCoy) have nothing (Incredible Hulk v1 Annual 11)
Spider-Man is invited to a council of the world's greatest minds to help stop an alien virus that threatens the entire planet. He's the first one to figure out the key to temporarily stopping it, and then creates a cure, by replicating X-23's healing factor, with help from Beast and Monica Rappaccini. (All-New Wolverine 21/22)
Spider-Man creates a new type of mathematics by modifying Wakandan calculus to stop an explosion. He does this in seconds while being caught in a powerful sonic attack. No one else can solve this problem, including Doc Ock, with over 5 minutes of uninterrupted time. (various; each scan has the source in the description)
Spider-Man solves quantum physics equations of the highest order, creating a formula for creating an anti-matter bomb. Very few physicists could even understand the equations, let alone solve them. (Marvel Team-Up v1 Annual 2)
Spider-Man is an expert in chaos theory and probability distribution to the point he has a better theory than the theory Otto Octavius came up with which was good enough to be a doctoral thesis (Amazing Spider-Man v5 1)
Spider-Man reverse engineers Terminus' staff (alien technology created to combat Celestials) to nullify Parker Particles, even though scientists like Reed Richards himself were scared of the power of Parker Particles (Amazing Spider-Man 692, 694)
Spider-Man invents a plasma breeder reactor that duplicates the conditions of the Sun's core and can power 4 countries at once after being turned on for a billionth of a second (Spider-Man/Deadpool 17)
Spider-Man creates a Power Glove which was stolen by Earth-65 Cindy Moon - it can create 3D hard light holograms of other tech, and can also depower heroes like Spider-Gwen (Spider-Gwen v2 8/9, Silk v2 8, Spider-Women Omega)
Spider-Man modifies his headphones to block the Star of Capistone/Red Rajah's telepathy in mere moments (Amazing Spider-Man v5 49) - this telepathy was strong enough to take over the likes of Hulk and Doctor Strange (The Defenders: Strange Heroes) and the stone was so powerful that Doctor Strange implied it was as powerful if not moreso than the Eye of Agamotto (The Order v1 4)
Spider-Man builds a variety of Spider-Themed vehicles including a Spider-Mobile (which can drive on walls and sprout giant spider-legs), a flying car, an Arachno-Rocket ship, a Spider-Submarine, a Supersonic Pogo Plane, a Spider-Cycle, Web-Tanks, Arachno-Jets, etc. They are heavily weaponized, to the point that Nick Fury thought they were able to take on the Hulk. They were able to conquer Symkaria, Europe's (and possibly the world's) largest weapon manufacturer, in about a day. (various; each scan has the source in the description)
Spider-Man builds the Superior Spider-Man Mark III suit with waldoes for fighting, web wings for gliding, nerve hacking technology, and lasers with power output equivalent to a power plant (Spider-Man/Deadpool 17)
Peter invents Webware devices which are made of nanotech computers that can recognize when they are being hacked and physically reconfigure their hardware and rewrite their software in response (Amazing Spider-Man v4 2) (feats and more details in Tech section)
Spider-Man casually hacks the Tri-Sentinel while being attacked even though it was under the influence of Loki's magical programming (Amazing Spider-Man 352). For reference, even Tony Stark is unable to counter mystical programming when it infects his armor (Tony Stark: Iron Man 13).
Spider-Man hacks into Norman Osborn's tech and downloads his most secure files (Dark Reign: The List - Amazing Spider-Man) - even Bruce Banner has failed to hack HAMMER/Osborn tech (Dark Reign: The List - Hulk)
Spider-Man defeats an amped Kaine (Peter's more powerful clone) who had studied his fighting techniques - he does this by using his Way of the Spider skills combined with Spider Sense (Amazing Spider-Man 671)
Spider-Armor Mark IV protects from a punch with the force of over a billion people (All-New Inhumans 6) - for reference, Collective Man was able to smash US Agent's vibranium shield with a single punch in Mighty Avengers #28.
Spider-Armor Mark IV takes 2 separate blasts from Shiklah's Sceptre of the Manticore which emits at least one exajoule of energy (Spider-Man/Deadpool 15/16) - for reference, one exajoule is approximately 5 times the yield of the Tsar Bomba (the largest nuclear weapon ever made), 2,500 times the energy released by the Chelyabinsk Meteor, and around 20,000 times the energy released by Little Boy when it was dropped on Hiroshima.
Spider-Armor Mark IV is unhurt by Ghost's hyper-density waves, which are described as being hit by solid steel and are able to temporarily knock Iron Man out of the fight as well as hurt Regent (Amazing Spider-Man v4 12)
Spider-Armor Mark IV makes Peter strong enough to easily overpower Doc Ock's tentacles (Amazing Spider-Man v4 30) - these tentacles were strong enough to block Count Nefaria's blasts (Spider-Geddon 1)
Spider-Armor Mark IV is able to hold up most of the weight of a skyscraper (rubble/debris) until it collapses over him (Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man 5). It appears that Spider-Man is holding up the majority of the skyscraper since when Spider-Man starts to buckle the entire skyscraper collapses as if he was the only thing holding it up. Also, we can clearly see Spider-Man was at the bottom of the skyscraper and that there were no large pieces of debris elsewhere when Uatu is able to run out of the destruction site unhindered. The only debris left standing, without Spider-Man supporting it, are a couple of foundation beams for the skyscraper.
