You get bitten by a radio-active spider and gain spider like powers, you try to forget about them at first, until a new evil has arrived in town and is causing havoc. He has metal arms that are mad of the strongest metal substance and he calls himself Metallic, what do you do? I think it would be scary swinging around the New York streets, so high up.......if think thats what makes Spider-Man un-realistic, the fact that hes not scared of that.

Well he does have a lot of experiance doing it, and Im sure if he gets in a jam he see's it coming((Spidersense)) and just sticks to a building until things cool down.
Re: What would you do if you got spider-like powers?
WHO SAID HE ISNT SCARE?
that why he make so many jokes to relief tension.......its all said on the comics i dont know if they will explore this on the movies..if that ur point
spidey has always been my favorite superhero, all the way back when i was a youngin' watching "electric company" with the live action stories (that's a before some of your times). i would do the same as he does, i.e. rescue the harmed and battle evil, but i would not wear a bright blue and red costume. i'd wear something that would not draw so much attention to me.

I suppose none of us could actually say anything for sure--and I guess most of us would like to believe that we'd use our powers for good, but who knows? I'd honestly probably use it at first to help myself, my family and friends--then I'd probably branch out from using it for selfish reasons. It would undoubtedly take a lot of effort to control at first.
I would get a costume just like Spider-Girl's and go around saving New York. Also, remember people there is a villain in town calling himself "Metallic" who has metal arms with lots of cool but deadly gadgets on and in them.
VENOMfan, I think Metallic was created by Freddy vs. Jason, am I right?
madsci, your reply really dates you. I also loved Spidey on "electric co.", even though he never spoke a word. I always wondered why, even when I was 7 years old. You've gotta be about my age, huh? I'm guessing 27-31ish.
Huh, makes sense but I wouldnt fight super villains. I dont think I could "thwart evil" day in and out. Id find somebody who could make them go threw the process that gave me my abilities.
then I would just do my own thing.

I would become the greatest car burgalar that ever lived. The spider powers would be perfect for sneaking into well guarded places and taking whatever you wanted.

I would go out looking for trouble. Looking at me wrong would not be a good move. I would also help people in trouble, especially if they're hot chicks. Hey, at least I'm honest.
