Actually I did, however, most of what I posted in my response to you rebutted what they posted. It isn't necessary for me to respond to every post, and I don't like flooding the chatboard.
Secret Wars! HAHAHAHHAHAHA! You mean where his powers where augmented while being on battle world?
I'll admit that particular issue did seem to be a bit biased towards the X-men, however, it didn't stray away from SM's known abilities. Webbing people, jumping around like a speed ball, and using his spider sense to avoid opponents are all abilities which are consistant with his character.
And Thor had peek human speed at the time at best.
Do you realize what you've just shot down your entire argument of "peek human speed" being comparable to Spiderman's speed with this statement? If Thor couldn't keep up with him moving at a "peek human speed", it would be illogical to assume that Wolvie/Captain/DD would fair any better. I doubt any of them are faster than Thor.
Wanderer and Marvel don't seem to agree
Spiderman's powers as listed by MarvelSpider-Man possesses superhuman strength, reflexes and equilibrium; the ability to cling to most surfaces; and a sixth sense that warns him of impending danger
Another gross misunderstanding on your part. He originally planned to stay until the webbing dissolved so as to save himself some displeasure but found that he had to break free and did so immediatley.
No misunderstanding, its just that you and others make gross assumptions that don't fit within logical boundaries. It was never mentioned how long Wolverine was webbed up, but I'll take a stab at saying it was quite some time. With that being stated, it's a well known fact that the webbing tends to get brittle after being exposed to the air for extended periods of time. Wolverine took advantage of this, and after time had elapsed, he was able to break the webbing. Think about it, if it had been that easy for him to free himself, he would have done it rather quickly.
Sorry bub, (hehe i said bub) you either stick to marvel stats or you don't at all. Your double standard here just isn't helping you.
There's no double standard. I have never stated that one should "exclusively" use stats to determine the outcomes of these battles. Instead I've stated that stats should be used with "historical examples" that fall within reason, meaning within the "boundaries" of a characters known abilities. It is reasonable to assume that an individual can perform beyond their limitations when put in stressful situations due to a human body's ability to produce adrenaline. SM has consistently demonstrated the ability to lift more than 10 tons while battling under extenuating circumstances.
50 tons is not an unreasonable amount. After all, he is a Superhuman..and his body probably possesses the ability to produce much more adrenaline than the average individual.
And yet that's the way they're portrayed in all of Spidey's books? So which are correct, the books, or the stats which you say we should use but then only selectively when it benifits you? And Wolvie has been described to move faster than the eye can see. Several Notches? Now that's just a blatant lie.
Your argument is weak and your assumption is illogical. As I've stated multiple times, it's okay to use examples taken from comics, as long as they fall within the limits of what a characters known abilities.
Wolverine moving faster than the eye can see is not consistant with how the character is portrayed in his comics. Nor is it consistent with what we know of his abilities. And before you mention it..it would still be grossly unreasonable to assume that he could move at "Flash like" speeds during stressful situations.
Out of character? Well that's not the forum rules, but if you insist, Wolvie kills in one hit, Cap uses his shield to decapitate Spidey, and DD times a punch to Spidey's heart so as to kill in one hit.
"Any means Necessary" was the original stipulation thrown into the battle. That's why they would be fighting out of character. With the exception of Wolvie, none of the combatants ever fight this way in their respective comics. It's quite possible that the scenarios you listed above could happen, if any of the Trio possessed the speed to hit the wallcrawler. Unfortunately they do not, and you/others have done little to prove that they do, other than give random "plot device" examples, that have no statistical/valid/ or logical evidence supporting them.
So you mention Secret Wars but fail to realize that indeed they have? Are you sure you read it?
I read it quite some time ago, so you'll have to excuse me if my memory fails me. Still...I do not recall Cap ever leading DD/Wolvie/others in a random battle against Spiderman "using any means necessary" to subdue him.
You seem to enjoy doing this so "refer to the above"
Not really, I just hate repeating myself. However I've learned in life that sometimes its necessary to repeat to get points across, particularly when trying to explain simple concepts to those who have impaired reasoning abilities.
again, refer to the above.
Refer to the above.
Even though I just owned you with your own arguements.
The only thing you own mercilous, is the inability to apply common sense and logic to your arguments. However if I must concede to something, I'll concede to the fact that you have continuously proved yourself to be the poor debator, who possesses childlike reasoning skills. How old are you by the way?
Even though there's an instance where (3 in Wolvie's case) where each of these heros has owned Spidey and your best arguement is stats which you don't even beleive. And I'm the fanboy, sure buddy. [/B]
Yes you are a fanboy. And if you still having trouble understand the reasoning behind why, refer to the arguments above my slow minded friend.
I'll leave you with one more inquiry to ponder in that "childlike" brain of yours. I'm curious..if you/others believe that every plot device used in a comic should determine how these "hypothetical battles" should play out, why even come to these forumns and debate?
