Why did Peter Parker look like a 6'4" 220 pound gigachad football player in the 90s?
>>221022482Because he got bit by a radioactive spider that gave him a superhuman body.
That's how we looked back then in America. We've lost so much.
>>221022482for me this is how he always looked, like a nerdier superman
>>221022482Peter Parker was Spider-Man for about 30 years by the time of the 90s. That'd probably add a bit of muscle mass
>>221022482SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOCKKKKEERRRRRRR
>>221022482The 90s didn't have a blanket hatred for Spiderman except when they made him not really Spiderman anymore but even then they just replaced him with a chadlier blonde version of himself.
>>221022611wtf happened?
>>221022482All those late 80s and early 90s cartoon characters had the same ridiculous chad proportions. They were influenced by the GI Joe cartoon style.
>>221022670The Zendaya defense league hasn't yet woken up.
80s and some 90s TV cartoons were inspired by 70s American comics before anime feminized western media
>>221022938>Antman>Wasp>Giant Man>Yellowjacket>GoliathThat's what I would do with the Avengers. Just give everyone the shrinking potion. And Iron Man suits.

>>221022667Ben had the best Spidey suit.
>>221022482he was a big guy
Last time the comic fans on here said Peter Parker was always a chad but was kind of a weirdo at first
>>221022482He was based on the 70s Spider-Man.
>>221022482Because it was easier to have injection molds that were more or less the same body shape with different heads and accessories when designing the toys
>>221022482>>221022667It was specifically so they could use the same mold for every figure. Making Peter scrawny would mean he couldn't use the same "buff" mold every other figure used. So Peter became a bodybuilder.
>>221023419Take this argument to /toy/ and see how many molds were reused between the Spidey figures. That's more of a GiJoe issue. The comic stuff was generally one unique mold per figure, even of the same character.
Remember when Doc Ock was shredded and not a fat nerd?
>>221023046as a kid I legit thought he was going to kill shocker here
>>221023528No lie, they wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to play him in the movie. It didn't work out, but this probably influenced his decision to play Mr. Freeze.
>>221022992I'm pretty sure all five of those are the same man

Peter Parker only became a skinny twink with the Ultimate comics in which he's later killed off and replaced with Miles Morales.
