What is the most embarrassing superhero death in comics?
>>146437767I feel like there's a middle ground between "kill the mob" and "let them beat you to death".
>>146437767What? Are you serious?
>>146437767I don't care how many bats and bricks and knives the mob haveThey ain't killing spiderman even if he let them
>>146437904Idk. I know Spidey's tough, but he's always been a relative glass cannon. Like, bullets are gonna hurt him same as anyone else. I reckon he's about as durable as a car. A mob could easily destroy a car with bats and bricks.
>>146437767>gets hit on the back of the head by a lead pipe and is knocked out instantlyWhat the fuck? Did he forget to pay for his spider-sense subscription and they turned it off?
>>146437904if he's so tough then why he even bothers to dodge bullets and shit? him being vulnerable to piercing attacks makes sense
>>146437784> I could kill this entire mob of mutant haters> but then I’d be a bad guy> I could run from this angry mob that’s trying to kill me> but that would also somehow be bad?> I’ve got to let this angry mob tear me to pieces with knives and bricks, because superheroes are known for letting themselves be savaged by mobs of untrained, unskilled, armed opponents.
>>146437784>>146438384It's a retarded moment, but just to play devil's advocate for fun, if multiple people are swarming you and you're 10x stronger than them, it'd be really hard to get out of that situation without potentially fatally injuring one of them. Like, imagine a horde of toddlers start swarming you like zombies. Would you be able to get out of that without caving in a toddler's skull, or tossing one against the wall so hard its neck breaks? Maybe, but if you're Peter you couldn't risk it.
>>146437685>Taylor had Dick die to another rock in his Titans run
>>146438408>Would you be able to get out of that without caving in a toddler's skullSpider-Man can jump really high. Just throw them off and jump 30 feet in the air, then swing go safety.
>>146438408> being swarmed by toddlersEasy, don’t raise your feet too high, long strides, don’t show emotion. > being swarmed by angry horde of peoplePush way closest enemies. Use webs to disable enemy legs, if things get real bad just break someone’s arm to show dominanceRelatively minor injuries, I live and so do they.
>>146438449I struggle to imagine a superhuman realistically exerting enough force to throw 12 people off of him at the same time without that force also breaking spines. But I guess Spider-Man would be used to moderating his strength so idk
>>146438408I’d think of thwipping upward to a building and pulling off anyone still clinging onto me afterward, though I guess Peter wouldn’t have thought of it in the heat of the moment
>>146438408>>146438469Spider-man would not be taking any damage to begin with. He'd have to roll with their punches to make sure they don't break their wrists, they simply would not be able to beat him to death. They'd tire out before he gets even a scratch on him. Spider-man is also extremely acrobatic, he doesn't have to rely on his strength entirely, he could maneuver himself out of there with style, not like he'd get hit in the first place.
>>146438408why didn't he just web them up on the spot to immobilize them like whenever else he fights hordes of normal human shitheads?
>Lex Luthor challenges Superman to a public debate if Superheroes should be stopped or not.>optimistic, Superman agrees, but Luthor manages to get the masses on his side and they turn on the Superheroes.>angry mob confront the superheroes, who hide in the Hall of Justice.>Batman opens the door, being like "Hey guys, now is the time to make the right decision, think with your heart.">angry mob kill most heroes, mutilate Batman, sets him on fire and he's presumed dead for years.Well that was kinda stupid. And cynical. And aged like fine wine actually.
>>146438757The whole premise of the general public hating/turning on superheroes is stupid in general. Supervillains aren't going to just stop because the heroes are gone. Maybe, maybe you could get away with in in a 1 on 1 scenario, like if they just turn on just batman or superman for doing something over the top. But the idea that everyone disagrees with the idea as a whole in dc/marvel universe is ridiculous.
>>146438408Htf does spidy handle swarms of gangsters then? Or has none of them exploited this weakness in all his years?
>>146437767https://youtu.be/QQJkkg9HfBU?t=118This is how he should've handled that
>>146438757This is TLKOE right? That genuinely sounds retarded lmao.
>>146438799Image/Mars Attacks crossover did it best, handing over the only people capable of stopping the evil fuckers trying to take over the world isn't gonna stop thek lol.
>>146438408literally just web them all
>>146437685Cerebus did it first
>>146439052
>>146439063read better comics
>>146438757I really dont get this premise the way its set. The whole Absolute Power shit was already nonsensical, this is just moreso
>>146438757>>146438922The funny thing is this is one of those comics that youtubers who make shorts try to hype up. I just like how no matter how shit a story is they'll try and make it sound like the greatest thing ever
>>146439099>The whole Absolute Power shit was already nonsensicalMost readers liked it though...
>>146439082>read better comicsI'll start by not reading that shit.
>>146439549Why are marveldrones so allergic to good comics?
>>146439617I'm not, which is the specific reason I'm not reading that comic, anon.
>>146438900I know this is just a show but I hate seeing retards start a fight they can't finish and then scream and cry like victims when they get wrecked for it. Happens irl too often.
>>146439052>>146439063>>146439082I don't believe in "spoilers" ruining a story, the first issue of Cerebus I read was 300 and the first scene from The Sopranos I watched was the finale, and both rank high in my favorites.
>>146437767>embarrassingThis isn't embarrassing, this is just fucking retarded.
>>146438922>>146438757I dunno, I love TLKOE but I can't deny it's edgy and cynical. But on the other hand, edgy and cynical in pop culture got refreshing to me, in times where everyone pretends that issues can be discussed.
>>146438408Toddlers aren't capable of hurting you, so you just torpedoed your own argument.
Probably this. Maybe not embarrassing but just why.
>>146437767Doesn't Spider-Man have super strength and resilience? That brick would do nothing. That knife would annoy him. Those civilians would break their hands and feet trying to hit him.
>>146439269It's not shit, but Batman of all people having enough hope in people to attempt to discuss with them is REALLY out of character. But it doesn't matter, it isn't canon and maybe I forgot some plot points. In the end, it's basically DCs "Old Man Logan".But I know what you mean. You mean Comics Explained. Where the dumbest shit like a Joker gas zombie invasion happens and he's like "DUDE THIS IS AMAAAAZING!". And the way he hypes Xmen even though its the most boring and annoying shit.
>>146440514Spider-man's vulnerable to knives and bullets, but punches from regular humans do fuck all.
>>146440545Spider-Man has super strength. If he doesn't have invulnerability his own strength would kill him. Typical Comic Book idiot writing mistake. Kind of like how super strong characters don't destroy the ground underneath them.
>>146440525>You mean Comics ExplainedHe's a good example of it. Most comics moved on to just doing shorts where they all start off with "do you know about the time X did X". I Remember there was someone who actually tried to hype up Civil War 2 of all fucking things.
>>146440477Then 10 year olds
>>146440545I think the only legitimately clever time I've seen Spider-Man get killed was that one What-If where Punisher used a bomb disguised as Doctor Octopus(so that Spider-Man would assume his spider sense going off was because of Doc, not a bomb). And this was after Punisher tried to snipe him and got the fuck out of there after Spidey dodged two bullets because he realized at that point he was not going to win in a fight.
>>146438590Spider-Man has never really been one of those superheroes that regular humans break their hands if they punch him.
>>146438408He can just web them up like he has when he's dealt with civilians in the past
>>146440866It has come up before in his comics, he says he rolls with punches to not harm people trying to punch him.
>>146440564>ifuckinglovesciencejak.jpeg
>>146437767Paul would have tanked that
>>146441153Paul could have tanked that but I feel like Paul's charisma would have allowed him to defuse that crowd so he never would have been in that position in the first place.
>>146440682You can push a 10 year old away without killing them, so it doesn't work either.
>>1464415588 year olds then
>>146438353Spidey's always been ridiculously resistant to blunt force trauma. This is a guy who can catch speeding cars with his bare hands, after all.If he can lift as much as he can and punch as hard as he can without exploding, he should still be too tough for a bunch of humans to beat him to death, even with weapons. It'd be like a grown man getting beaten to death by toddlers. >>146437767 would be a lot less retarded if it showed him getting shanked or something, as he's always been shown to be vulnerable to penetrating wounds
>>146438408clobber the bastards, it's self defense
>>146438365Spider Man's always been more susceptible to penetration than blunt force. To some extent he rolls with superpowered punches, but there's been plenty of times he's survived straight hits from dudes who can crater concrete. Blades and bullets just concentrate force beyond his ability to resist.Compare trying to split wood with a sledgehammer instead of an axe. You use more or less the same force on the same target, but one's gonna be a lot more successful.>pic rel
>>146443091>Spider Man's always been susceptible to penetrationTrue.
>>146438757I feel like the Batman clone that was in this was foreshadowed somewhere else, but I can't remember.
>>146439082Didn't the writer for this have a schizo breakdown on how much he hates gay people and woman lmao
>>146443524He did
>>146443148kek
>>146438438>Dick's most memorable recurring villain is a rock
>>146443671sauce? qrd?
>>146437767From which atrocity of garbage x-men comic is this from
>>146440497Marvel hiring a guy suffering from a mental breakdown over the death of his son to the same disease that cost him a arm when he was a child
>>146443766Thats kinda messed up
>>146443941Probably a Civil War 1 comic. Johnny Storm was put into a coma the exact same way.
>>146443923In the comic (or rather, a rambling allegorical story about Sim's alter ego Viktor Davis published as part of the comic), he explains it as men being "Intellectual Light" and women being "Emotional Void". According to Sim, the Emotional Void is incapable of intellectual thought and only exist for breeding, since Light can't breed. It's not just an awkward justification for all sorts of misogyny (though it certainly is that as well) but also contains strong themes of anti-natalism, putting the breeding purposes of the Void in a negative light and among other things flat-out stating that what humanity needs is death, not birth, since every birth is a victory for the Void and a loss for the Light.The whole thing is a clusterfuck of a manifesto that basically amounts to a schizophrenic man convincing his own strawmen that he's right about the universe.
>>146443941Days of Future Past prequel.
i'm surprised nobody posted the panel of Dr. Strange being strangled to death by his own cape
>>146437767I don't even necessarily mind the idea of Spiderman underestimating an angry mob and getting taken off guard, but what the fuck is up with the narrator basically calling him a bitch who died pointlessly. Imagine Superman dying to Doomsday and the narrator is like>Superman tried to stop one particular monster>it didn't go well>people who knew him say it was a brave sacrifice, but personally I find that hard to believe>we all know that in his last moments, he was screaming for Batman to save him
>>146443766Why didn't Spiderman close his mouth
>>146444244kitty do be like that
>>146444244People who hate superheroes really like to write superhero comics
>>146437685Still makes me laugh.
>>146445084Yep. Explains a lot, honestly.
>>146444244Could you not say this without attaching a Sonic character?
>>146443766holy cack, is there any deatg worse than being impregnated by sand? and you don't even know where that sands been
>>146445501did Amy Rose give you ptsd?
>>146445084spittin
>>146437685Ch'p the Green Lantern getting run over by a truck has to be a contender right?
>>146440477If a dozen toddlers were swarming you all at once and wanted you dead, they could definitely do some damage. Scratch your eyes out, bite you, punching you in the throat.
>>146446897what year was this issue that they were stilling giving my man Mr Popo lips?
>>146437767If they get violent they deserve to be webbed up. Just keep webing everyone that throws hands until the non-violent ones are all that is left.And no "but he didn't want to escalate", they were throwing hands before he showed up, nothing could make it more escalated.
>>146440465>edgy and cynical in pop culture got refreshing to meI take it you don't read many comics? Because that shit has been the norm for like three decades, now.
>>146437767if you ever wonder why some Marvel fans tend to hate X-men and it's treatment of the rest of the setting remember this in the back of your mind
>>146438900Why is this bad again?
>>146437685This sort of thing would happen constantly in a world where unpowered people run around doing superhero stuff. All that rooftop parkour would lead to a ton of embarrassing deaths as well.
>>146437767Oh the disrespect
>>146438408By that logic shouldn't Spider-Man be unable to open doors without ripping them off their hinges and a thousand other examples that clearly don't happen?
>>146443766
>>146449803No Nut November
>>146437767I mean, at some point, your survival instincts would kick in and he'd be forced to protect himself or abscond. If those blows to his head knocked him out rendering him unconscious, I guess that would work, too.
>>146439052>>146439063>>146439082Cerebus at least had the excuse of being a couple hundred years old by that point
