That issue of Spider Man really made me furious as a young collector of comics. As both Spidey and Daredevil point out, Peter possesses super-human speed and strength far in excess of even an elite human in the form of Daredevil. He's not just superior to DD, not just a class removed, but far beyond the capabilities of a 'human' martial-artist with radar senses. Sorry about the Spider-Man geek rant, but Ive always hated seeing Petey clowned like that. He needed to web up DD's arm to overcome him? Pfffft!

I like Daredevil, but you don't struggle with Bullseye...duke it out with Punisher...and then expect to hold your own with Spider-Man. Many fans consider Spider-Man a 'street level' hero because of the enemies he fights, but his powers and abilities elevate him into a far loftier league of heroes...I blame this miscasting of Sider-Man's class on writers that have routinely missed the mark on how his talents would play out in a scenario of real-world physics (as 'real' as one can be with imaginary powers lol). Superior Spider-Man was popular because Otto didn't hold back and actualized the full scope of Pete's abilities. I get that Peter pulls his punches the majority of the time, but even in this scenario, he would be overwhelming for a 'peak' human.

Again, forgive my rant. Spidey is behind Surfer by only a hair in my book of fandom...
