Not true. The spidey sense reacts much sooner than that. And it actually does tell him where the attack will be located. How do you think that he is able to defend himself when his back is turned. If it just warned him that the attack was coming from behind, he could try to counter high, only to completely miss because the attack was low. But that's not what happens. The spidey sense alerts him as to where and when the attack will happen, and depending on the situation, sometimes seconds in advance. Other times it's not as soon, but that's usually in a heated fist fight or something. His spidey sense still tells him such things like whether it will be a kick to his lower body, or a punch to his upper body, or vice versa both ways.[/quote]
You're debating the wrong thing here. The number is the only statistic I have to go by - it means little, as everyone's abilities within a comic book usually goes below or beyond it's alleged given quantative measure - and so I've listed it here. I also don't see where I said, "By the way, Spider-Man's Spider-Sense doesn't tell him where the attack will strike him." It seems you made that up.

In terms of objects (cars, debris, etc.), his spidey sense usually reacts second(s) before the attack (collision, whatever) occurs, which is more than enough time for him to avoid it.
Though I sort of already answered this with the statement above, I have to ask, how do you know it's seconds? I only found the .003 seconds statistic from Marvel Directory, which could very well be wrong, but like I said, it's the only number I have to go by and it does make sense. What do you have that disproves this and that shows his Spider-Sense, for example, really goes off an entire three seconds before danger strikes? Comic panels aren't very good for showing time, unless Spidey has said, "I have seconds to react!"

Hell, his Spidey sense even alerts him of potential dangers that aren't even dangerous at the moment. There was this one time (this is just an example, this has happened many times before) when he was at a party with MJ, and his Spidey sense was going crazy when he was next to these two guys. All they were doing was just talking and being social and stuff. But he knew from his spidey sense that there was something up with them, and that they would be dangerous at a much later time.
This makes absolutely no sense. How is this different from Wolverine surviving ground zero of nuclear explosion through his healing factor? To me, both instances show the same sort of illogical power expansion, or in other words, PIS.

He's also fought off a tough opponent with powers similar to his without even looking at her. He had to look away so as to not become hypnotized, one of her powers. So he just avoided looking at her at all as much as possible, relying solely on his spider sense to fight her. Which seemed to work fine, since he was still schooling her.
I didn't argue against this.

I've even seen Spiderman defuse bombs using his spidey sense. It helps him with everything. He would definitely know of any and all attacks that are out to endanger him.
First of all, the bomb instance might seem odd, but it's really not, considering Spidey could realize (if going by the only given statistic, .003 seconds before he does anything) one wire is wrong to cut, seeing as how the bomb would explode almost immediately if he did cut it. His Spider-Sense telling him where the wires are located, however, isn't explainable.
I never argued that his Spider-Sense wouldn't let him know of the attacks thrown at him.

Their comics validate this.(ie you do not see Cap/DD/Wolvie consistently being labeled as being a blur when fighting, lifting up building structures, or being able to use a "sixth sense" to determine when an attack will happen).
Well, with that last part, I've seen Daredevil hear a person's eyes rolling in their head. That's quite a bit of hearing power. It might be explainable that DD could hear someone begin movement to know it's coming. Whether or not he'd be fast enough to do anything about it is debatable, but I'm throwing it out there. It's just as plausible as Spidey supporting an entire 25% of a building.

I'm not following this, exactly. Could or couldn't?
Considering the average human might bench 100 lbs, if not a bit more, take that and multiply it by 12. That's 1200 lbs. I don't know if a human being has ever benched 1200 lbs. 15 mph times 12 would be 180 mph, which Quicksilver supposedly gets to, if even that.

Where in the hell are you getting this.I swear, he was posting pics in the game forum about wolverine holding elevators with one arm, wolverine is PEAK HUMAN.
That actually makes perfect sense. In a lifting sense, perhaps not, but in supporting, I don't see why Wolverine can't lock his joints in place or simply put himself in a position to where his body won't bend at the joints, and simply let the fact that his bones are unbreakable, and therefore capable of supporting anything imaginable, do the work for him. If Logan locks his body, extends his arm, and rests the elevator on it, what can it do? That's what he means by mild superhuman strength - his adamantium bones let him pull off a few tricks.
