You're thinking too much in terms of a naturally occurring hurricane/tornado and putting him up against that. For a start Storm is in bloodlust mode she isnt just going to levitate him and spin him around for laughs. She will sweep him and then slam him all over the landscape. Storms winds are psionically controlled and would be able to adapt to Spidermans movements with a thought. While shes slamming him around she could dramatically reduce the temperature to freeze spiderman within the vortex. Or she could decrease the humidity and dramatically increase the ambient temperature dehydrating him as he's caught up in the winds. Spidermans durability is rated as normal human so he certainly aint surviving storms onslaught.Lightning travels at a third of the speed of light and Storm commands and can psionically redirect it mid blast. He might escape the odd blast or two but in bloodlust mode with good writing theres absolutely no reason why her bolts shouldnt make contact. One hit would be all thats required.
Storm also sees the world in terms of energy patterns on top of that as she's attuned to the planet she can sense the slightest stir in the air. Spiderman would not be hiding from her.
Like I said, the wind movements aren't going to be that effective. Spider-man thrown at the ground at nearly 450 MPH, odds are he can get his feet underneath him, a web snare caught to something, whatever it takes, to get himself in a position to take the blow. I don't have the time to show how much force he'll hit the ground with, but it's akin to takin a blow from the Rhino, which he has done before. People greatly underestimate Spider-man's durability, he fought through the entire Maximum Carnage series with broken ribs, next to no rest, suffering from several counts of smoke inhalation, physical abuse, being tagged with one of Demogoblin's special 'dark' bombs, etc. The wind is not going to put him out. The cold will, however. This we both agree on doubtlessly. Her ability to control the winds I would say is still only at the human reaction speed, which Spider-man exceeds. She can't keep up with him, that's like letting me face spider-man in a FPS, no matter how good I am, his reaction times are just so much faster I got no chance. Now, Storm does know what she's doing, and if he was a normal joe, she'd tear him a new one, but he's too durable and reacts too quickly to easily be outdone by winds, not that they are completely ineffective, but I don't see her winning with just winds alone. If she tries to combine powers (Beyond the temperature) then her control of the winds is definitly going to be less precise, because it'd take all of her concentration to keep up with Spidey, and thus the winds are much less dangerous to him. Spider-man's durability can be rated at whatever, the fact remains that he can take blows beyond anything any human could ever dream of taking. That durability rating is most likely in reference in his ability to take bullets and the such, which still work almost as well on him as a normal man. You have to remember though, his muscles are so tight that bullets do not pierce them as readily as a normal persons, it's like when shooting bow, if you miss the target and catch the mesh part on the side, the arrow (fieldtip) just bounces off because the mesh is pulled too tightly.
Lightning moves fast. Spidey has shown himself to be more than capable of dealing with it in the past. Ever see him fight electro? Yeah.
Forgive me, but where did I say he was going to be hiding? What would hiding do in this fight but give Storm time to power-up?
Like I've said time and again;
Cold - Not much he can do
Winds - More of a hinderence than a danger
Lightning - Dealt with plenty of times. If electro can't take him down using only electricity, I doubt Storm can do it while trying to multi-task.
Thank you GS, for at least making a coherent and reasonable attempt at debate.
As for the person who said it would be the same as jumping out of a falling airplane, Spider-man could easily do such a feat with little to no harm. He generates enough counter-force to land safely. Spider-man isn't human, he's above and beyond what any human could ever dream of.
