Spider-Man's Terrifying Side
There's an interesting aspect that has been brought up recently. It’s often easy to underestimate Spider-Man's ability. The happy, upbeat demeanor often makes his foes underestimate what he is capable of, but it appears this might not be the whole truth.
In The Amazing Spider-Man #59, written by Zeb Wells and illustrated by John Romita Jr., along with Scott Hanna and Joe Caramagna, brings an incredible battle that pits Spider-Man against Tombstone. It starts off tame but when the dust settles this fight will showcase the raw, uncontainable rage of Spider-Man. We really get to see what this incredible hero can unleash, in a level that's more scary than usual.
The Battle With Tombstone
A courtroom battle ensues, but before the court cases takes place, things get dangerous when Tombstone finds out his own daughter, Janice Lincoln, will be a witness in the trial! The whole concept makes a surprising reveal as well! Tombstone, whose name is Lonnie Lincoln, goes completely rogue! It brings the question that if Tombstone would disregard any form of a possible relationship with Janice or "family" ties for the sake of his own life. Then, everything goes crazy!
What makes this episode in The Amazing Spider-Man series memorable? Spider-Man and Tombstone get into an intense fight on the streets and inside the New York subway. It really begins to show that Spider-Man isn't fighting rationally. He isn't using his common skills, but unleashing emotions in a physical way! As this happens. We are reminded of just how angry Spider-Man really is.
Spider-Man Unleashes His Full Power
What really stood out was the intensity of the fight that shows this epic Marvel hero isn't pulling his punches and even causes a tremendous amount of damage in the conflict, as things ramp up and become almost uncontrollable! The climax was absolutely terrifying because a subway train might even end up hitting Tombstone! This snaps Spider-Man out of this rage. So it looks like Spider-Man might actually even save Tombstone's life.
This fight is very interesting when discussing other aspects that Spider-Man is known for, such as super-strength! Something Spider-Man may not ever show to those who are not super strong opponents!
A Look at Other Battles:
There are many moments to take a step back, from the world of Spider-Man! One really memorable comic featured in the story! "Spider-Man Versus Wolverine #1" (from Marvel Comics).
That featured the artist Christopher Priest, and also had some additional talents like Mark Bright, Al Williamson, Petra Scotese, and Bill Oakley all help to make this an epic adventure!
Fans of Spider-Man and Wolverine, and fans of Marvel in general were reminded just how ferocious a battle can become when these powerful figures collide.
In an unusual circumstance. It featured a friend of Wolverine called "Charlie" who wanted Wolverine to kill her because her circumstances made her believe it would end her pain.
- A powerful battle unfolds! Spider-Man and Wolverine face off.
- But that fight was short! Charlie tried to step into Spider-Man's wrath, even though she only placed her hands on Spider-Man's shoulders thinking she could end her life quickly. That backfired!
It shows a real power! And just what the most terrifying moments of Spider-Man truly is.
Spider-Man's Black Suit
The issue focuses on this truly epic brawl, but doesn't tell the whole story! We might need to go back a little! There's more behind this anger than many realize!
Fans have noticed this anger throughout his story arc!
- There was the black suit!
- He gained these amazing abilities after getting the Venom symbiote.,
- But after losing the symbiote, Spider-Man kept the black suit! Now the suit had a new meaning!
The suit really began to become a physical manifestation of his dark side and anger!
In an earlier story called "Grim Hunt" (that featured many artists such as Joe Kelly and Stefano Gaudiano) Spider-Man is so angry as Kraven and his family keep coming at him! The heroes and their friends are attacked as Kraven targets the entire "Spider-Family," taking things too far! To even out this dangerous scenario, Spider-Man pulls out his black suit as a key element!
It might have also come from another memorable Spider-Man storyline (as featured in "The Amazing Spider-Man" as written by Zeb Wells!) In one exciting panel, it showcases his own dark thoughts, sharing his true identity with readers.
The statement that "I don't have to pretend anymore!"
Spider-Man And Anger:
There was more behind Spider-Man than just happy go lucky! He realizes and knows the serious danger his raw power poses!
What was interesting, was Spider-Man wasn't necessarily angry, but wanted to make sure he used that force. It could have also been interpreted as a final plea to get Tombstone to see the harm he might be about to do, hoping the aggression could change his ways. Regardless it's a stark reminder that even though he often holds back in battles against others, and he knows what will truly happen when this force is unleashed! Spider-Man always keeps control of this dark side and when it happens there is a serious consequence!
If you love Marvel Comics and Spider-Man. Make sure to get this recent addition to see this intense fight. It shows us a powerful "Spider-Man", a character who remains such a force even as his angry self. In "The Amazing Spider-Man #59". It really does an awesome job of highlighting his talents!
