It occurs to me that neither Matt nor Peter would get surprised like that, but Elektra and Kurt totally could!
Elektra is referring to one I think we've mentioned but--hey, we did scan it! From Mark Millar/Terry and Rachel Dodson's Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #1, where during a brutal fight with the Green Goblin, Spidey takes an onlooker's advice, and clobbers him with a mailbox. The onlooker is then appalled: "I didn't think you were gonna, like, brain-damage him." It's a solid hit that looked like it meant business: you see like the Hulk or the Thing rip up lampposts and swat somebody with 'em, but those seem like they would launch them, like a baseball hit by a bat. This mailbox, though, seems like a hammer in comparison. I forget if Elektra's ever actually met Norman: if you knew him, you no doubt would probably want to see him hurt real bad; but I think she also just appreciates solid work. Sadly, in comparison to Legends, the mailbox here weighs a ton; I don't think I could even pose Dragon Man swinging it...or could I? Hmm.
