How is this even a question? Peter is not even a speedster, he gets punked at classic quicksilver level speed. Diana is a legit speedster who can run at foot with low level flashes like Jesse Quick.
Does anybody thinks Spidey can compete at that level?
It's a question bc not everyone breaks down comics like we always do. How many regular readers of comics think about stuff like this? Even diehards can be curious about stuff that seems obvious to KMC grognards.
I don't think anyone has backed Spidey in this thread so far, including me. The only reason I popped in was to dispel the idea that the scan posted on the last page is a one-off showing for Pete.
It's not that impressive honesty. Steve Trevor managed to dodge them and Diana was out flying them in atmosphere for some time without even going into orbit.
The shards were teleported from all over the universe essentially.
I don't think its a one off, but I do think that particular scan is at one end of the spectrum and him getting hit by a run of the mill standard bank robbing thug is at the other end - more or less. If you dissect that actual feat, the 8 lazer beams, the weaving of the limbs, him in motion on the flip, the inward commentary playing this off as something he can do in his sleep. I might be wrong, god knows I don't read a lot of spiderman, but at what point does a feat get moved into that "that's abit impressive to be the norm" category, the way we use him getting hit by mr robber in the "that's too lame to be the norm" category?
This isn't how it works at all if the speed gap is big enough. Which for WW and Spider-Man, it is. So he won't be reacting first, his speed and precog have limits.
No reason to be mad over something that isn't true.

Well, stronger versions of WW can move at a significant fraction of the speed of light at the very least. Spidey is hosed. Even if his precog did show him what was about to happen he would not actually be able to react quick enough to do anything about it.

Stiltsie is just mad because everybody and their uncle is waaaaaaay faster than Batman.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.
Depending on the writer, Spidey's SS doesn't ALWAYS help him. In darkness, where he can't see, there have been several depictions where it is shown the SS won't tell him what is the danger, or where it is coming from.
Obviously, you have other showings where it is essentially detailed precog.
Without the SS, he can be outreacted by humans. The Spot manages to outreact him, and he is hardly a trained fighter with any enhanced stats.
Once the SS is turned off, Spidey isn't anything to write home about.

), thanks for taling the question the way it was meant, and giving me some really great feedback.
