We're off our usual set today, and I don't love the lighting or the placement of that pole, but I needed room for Stilt-Man! I forget how many of those ninjas I bought--two?--and I feel like some bought way more for theirs. We saw a Stilt-Man suit recently in
Punisher War Journal #26, but that's not the only time we've seen criminals seemingly drooling over getting their hands on one. It would be an insanely impressive feat of engineering...if it wasn't in a universe with Stark armors and super-powers, and if it didn't have the win record of the Washington Generals. Admittedly, getting kicked in the face by Stilt-Man does look like it would hurt.
Elektra teamed up with Spider-Man for a recent gang war thing, but I wonder if she just sees him as one of Matt's weird friends.
Honestly, I’m pretty sure Elektra is not the only person who wonders about that. I’m pretty sure a good number of his friends & occasional teammates all wonder the same thing but are too embarrassed to ask. I’m more surprised JJJ didn’t pull a Fox News & outright claim Spidey’s webbing comes out of his ass to further smear him. Oh the potential headlines!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a point about how lower-tier criminals like Stilt-Man, Beetle & the like would be viewed much differently if guys like Iron Man didn’t exist. I’m sure said lower-tier criminals often ponder that too.
I feel like there’s too many pictures and eyewitnesses to claim anything but the wrists. I mean, the Toby Maguire Spider-Man naturally generated them so it’s a possibility.
DeleteI’m more surprised that they buy those suits than that they like using them. I would’ve thought they’d homebrew them like Sentinels or Iron Man suits. It can’t be that hard to build a deluxe set of elevator shoes with all the tech debris that must be littering every battle site.
