But how would a bite from a radioactive spider turn Peter Parker into a superhero? New mini-ep over on my Insta (instagram.com/sci_Phile/). Thanks for watching! -- KH
it was just thinking about this yesterday lol
Nerdist where would I but this carbon nanotube sticky pads?
T C what in the h did you just say?
Spider-Man's only real super-power is the one that has the least to do with spiders, the rest is his suit, so really, there is no reason for the radioactive spiderbite anyways.
+Earven, except for the fact that his ligaments and muscles have to be augmented along with his equilibrium to do half of what he does, such as not wrecking his spine by contorting his body for hours at a time, not ripping his arms off from web slinging, and having perfect balance as he poises his entire body on a single finger while simultaneously kicking a guy into the air and webbing him to the ceiling.
I always figured that his hairs were somehow able to poke through the thin material on the gloves and boots.
same
I thought that too, or that the strength of his, little hairs, was strong enough to go through it without breaking it. Like a needle and a t shirt.
Same here, but you can't do a youtube episode on just "the hairs poke through the fabric" so he has to go and invent problems so he has something to talk about.
Thats how it works
Me too
miles morales in spiderverse can stick on walls through the soles of his chicago jordan 1s
For real i think they can just control what they stick to
lol, ye
Comic book magic
Spider man only has hairs in the movies. In comics it's like a bioelectric pull like a magnet.
yeah but he can also turn invisible and has an inbuilt super taser so I think we're well into the realm of comic book nonsense here.
Back in the early years of Spiderman comics, Marvel described his wall-crawling power as "molecular cohesion," which is not too far off the mark from how Kyle explained it here. However, they also pointed out that the spidersuit *had* to be made of thin & lightweight material or it would interfere with his ability. His gloves & boots are thin & lightweight enough that he can fold them up & carry them in his normal pants pockets & wouldn't leave an unsightly bulge; if Peter needed to climb a wall quickly & efficiently without donning his full suit (boots & gloves included) he would at least remove his shoes & socks first. Since he much prefers to make his own suits (yes, he also had to learn how to sew), & considering that Parker happens to be one of the world's foremost authorities on knowledge of spiders (he designed & built his own web shooters & invented his own web fluid to use with them, after all), further treating the material of his suits to work better than ordinary cloth would not be beyond feasibility of what he's capable of doing.
His wall-crawling ability IS effective over his entire body, in that he can lean with his back against a wall, pick up his feet & cling to the wall by his back alone. He has also demonstrated the ability of full conscious control over this power, much like a well-honed reflex action in that he can pick & choose which parts of his body sticks & when they do, but he still needs to be conscious to make it work; if he's rendered unconscious he'll drop off a wall like any normal person would.
All of this (except perhaps having a necessity to apply special treatments to the material of his spideysuits) is what Marvel comics has been publishing since the 1960's. I should know because I was buying & reading Spidey comics back then. The Mighty Marvel Bullpen already had most of this info covered, even way back then. Let that sink in...
EXCELSIOR!
Okay! Now all I need from this guy is for him to tell us step by step how Iron Man builds his suit, amd how he jams a bunch of rockets in there.... (you know, because SCIENCCCCCCE!)
Stark has access to time lord technology. It's bigger on the inside.
They could use the pym particle technology Ant man uses. Other Avengers like Hawkeye use pym particles to store things all the time in the comics.
Yeah but I think Dr. Pym refused to share information about the Pym particle with Shield so that would not be available to Howard or his son...though after 'Winter War'...Hawkeye uses the Pym Particle? I did not know this.
They could be like origami. Or, actually, a youtuber made an Ironman gauntlet that had a firecracker inside.
Can we all appreciate Kyle's ability to explain everything on the clear board and draw everyhting reversed?
Alex Estrada I think of this every time. How does he even do that?
Akhil Idk dude, its pretty hardcore though lol
Its an animation...
he draws it normal, then reverses the video
😂
His hair is honestly majestic
He looks like younger more handsome Fabio
Cassidy golightly ok u r gay
+Jeff Walton I don't know if you looked at her profile name or picture but I'm pretty sure she is a girl
Vickey don't let logic like a woman commenting on a man's looks keep the internet from using its favorite insult.
Haha, okay hadn't thought of it like that ;)
In the Spiderman: Homecoming ATM robbery scene he (1) hangs from the ceiling using his hands and throws a bad guy using the soles of his feet (2) counters the effects of the gravity gun by sticking to the ground with one of his hands' fingertips.
That makes me think that his sticking ability is something that he consciously controls.
@just some guy without a mustache Fun fact, that was the power of the Ben Reilly/Superboy character (Spider-Boy) in Amalgam Comics.
It also explained his enhanced leaping and super strength as him manipulating gravity to make things light enough for him to lift or himself light enough to go farther.
@just some guy without a mustache it's not controlling his gravity, it's basically just forcing an incredibly strong electromagnetic force between the object and his body.
It’s kind of explained In into the spider verse since Peter tells miles to relax since he’s stuck to the ceiling lights, but I also like to think tony stark made his suit with adhesive gloves and soles
He does control it. He also uses it to grab really tight to the webs when web swinging .
@@pavloschatz It shouldn't be referred to as controlling gravity, saying it like that makes it seem like he could fly. It's more comparable to what magnets do rather than full blown gravity.
In Homecoming, his fingertips are exposed when using the suit he made
That is such a good point
I think it's kinda interesting that someone at Marvel must have thought about this. In Spiderman Homecoming there's a couple sequences featuring the suit he used before Iron Man made him one, and that one has fingerless gloves.
"...the second part is wrong but we'll let that go for now."
God damn it Kyle, every time I think about unsubscribing so I don't get useless Nerdist notifications you remind me why I'm subed in the first place. Your content, humor and intelligence never ceases to entertain me. Bless you.
Working on a way to make it much easier to get my videos... -- KH
Nerdist That's awesome. Hope it's your own CZcams channel 😆

Hey Ky, can you do How the Dovakiin Uses the Voice in skyrim?
TheUnholyOne subscribe to because science, so u will not get those pesky nerdist news and other nerdist junks
All the way through Spiderman: Home Coming, I was asking myself this exact same question. Especially because of the whole "Tony Stark made this Suit" was emphasised so much during the film
I like how his accent suddenly turns completely German whenever he says Vanderwalls!
and it's actually dutch :'(
oh come on!its spandex and double sided tape!
This is the most enlightening comment I've seen today. Thanks for your wise and intelligent statement dear wise man.
Lol

"Each one of my fingertips is around 3cm2, and I have 20 of those"
Kyle, Why are your toes fingertips. You're scaring me.
Why don’t snakes use vandivar forces? Because god loves us
yeab but why spiders do? bc god hates us?
Vandivar? XD
if you thought snakes with scales was creepy, wait till you see snakes with hair
Hmmm, they might have it but don't use it as much as spiders? I mean I have noticed snakes getting to high places without stuff to slither onto.
Have you never seen a snake slither up a vertical fixture..? Because they do.
*The "Kyle Is Wrong!" FAQ*
1. When I calculated how many times more surface area Peter has than is needed, the numbers on screen come out to 8. I said and wrote 9 because I would doing a bunch of rounding behind the scenes. Sorry if that was confusing.
2. It's not enough to say "maybe his hairs go through." That's why I mentioned how small the Van der Waals interactions are and how close surfaces have to be. Look at a gecko's foot. It doesn't look liked barbed hair -- it looks like a smooth pad. That's because there are thousands and thousands of hairs packed very closely together. Even if the hairs could go though a suit, the suit would get in the way more often than not, just from sheer pore density needed, and drastically reduce the VdW interactions.
3. Another way we can canonically prove the hairs can't simply go through the suit -- and the suit has to have its own material -- is that in Spider-Man Homecoming, one of the non-Stark suits has fingerless gloves! And the AI clearly focuses on the fingertips of the Stark suit as though there is something more than hair going on.
(UPDATING)
-- KH
Nerdist what about Iron Spider Suit how does he climb then?I mean thats metal not wardrobe like his suit...
GamingSwine XD In Infinity War Tony Starks hoodie-suit uses nanotechnology. I'm nothing but a southern nerd, but I'm willing to bet that if he can make a suit build itself from his hoodie, while replacing broken parts, he could also incorporate the nano-tech into Spiderman's suit to allow for grip on the surface of his hands and feet.
Casius Corvus ohh
i was actually going to bring up his cheap suits and also his suit in the Toby Maguire films is just spandex he bought off the internet so where does he get the super experimental material?
But what if the tiny hairs compensate for the size difference between peter and a spider, this they are long enough to stick out of the suit a bit, then the ultra tiny hairs on those regular tiny hairs would still have direct contact with what surface he’s trying to stick through. Now of course I do realize that there is still one flaw with this theory, and that gale is how this situation would only work for the hands and not the feet. Also the hairs would probably have to be retractable or something so peter wouldn’t stick to both everything he touches.
In the MCU Tony Stark gives Peter Parker the spider suit so he might use that material combined with his cool tech and a lot of gadges. It's been confirmed that the spider suit is more advanced than any other iron suit. Also, Peter Parker's homemade spider suit has fingerless gloves so he might have notice the problem with stickiness and Wan der Vaals force being blocked by tick materials.
Seby cu Y What about his feet? Don't Spider-Man's feet still stick to things? And aren't they completely covered?
Before I watch, I guarantee this is the "molecule manipulation" explanation. Will update when finished watching.
Update: Yes.
Title: "How Can Spider-Man Climb While Wearing a Suit?"
Answer: Duct tape.
@lolbit Ever heard of a joke? Dumbass!
Flex Tape ;)
i just thought the gloves he used had these sort of big spaces on the finger tip like if you looks at a shirt really closely you can see holes in it from the sewing and other things. but the holes on gloves were big enough so that he could climb on walls
same
Obviously he is not sticky all the time. So the spider spikes or whatever must be retractable (like cat claws), and can, as you say, protrude from his gloves when necessary.
Luckily. If he was sticky all.the time he'd be the Amazing Trashman - covered with pieces of paper, soda bottles etc as he walked around.
Further, if he just used nanotubes, they would be useless in a very short time due to dust on the walls he climbs. Sort of like peeling off sticky tape and trying to reapply it a few times.
@@benjaminchen4367 which is what I was saying. vDW forces are very short range. More like (and as the movie shows) he has small hairs like real spiders, geckos etc do.
Having no gloves would be useful... at least the gloves wouldn't stick to you hand. Must he a real pain to undress when all your suit is stuck to you like duct tape.
I like to think he uses fingerless gloves and paints his fingers to match the suit
lol. that would be hilarious.
may: why are your fingertips red?
peter: science
before stark gave him the new suit he had fingerless gloves

Love your work, man
The "I get 9" part always makes me laugh
I only watch this channel because science...
Fine with it -- KH
I only watch this channel for that majestic hair.... and _because science_ is awesome

Stefan Grubesic Im geeky...unfortunately not nerdy...Computer science is slightly kicking my ASS!!!
This guy is the only reason i subscribed to Nerdist... until i found Muskwatch at least.

I'm pretty confident on my grammar but still thx mate.
victor bauz I think it's "at least until I found Muskwatch", but nobody cares because we know what you're trying to say

For me he is the only reason
Rest In Peace Stan-Man
F*ck you THANOS YOU WERE THE REASON MR STARK DIED 🤬🤬
Great episode!!!
thats an amaizing question and an answer thor . glad you are adgesting to midgard
So where can I get that material? For ummmmm Fuck it who didn't want a spider suit when they were a kid
123 456 You would still need to be strong enough to hold yourself up by your fingers
Lots of Ppl are strong enough who don't sit around watching CZcams all day.
still want it
Yeah, pretty sure there's a catch with that material or we'd be seeing it all over the place. Maybe it's too fragile or maybe it attracts all kinds of stuff and then becomes useless.
if it can grab on that level and its man made i wonder if it gets clogged with small material stopping the effect
I just love how he says van der walls.
it is glorious.
this guy always answering the real questions
Could a machine that puts you in a dream-like state/virtual reality (as was depicted in Inception and other movies) exist and how would it work?
Kevin Gillette I don't know how dreams work but it's probably possible if they can make a machine that does something to your brain that controls your dreams.
There's been tons of studies on sleep, so they know a lot about what the brain goes through to sleep. So, its possible that, in theory, someone could make a machine that would alter your brain waves to that of REM sleep, which is the part of sleep where people dream. A machine that could put you in a state of dreaming sleep is very possible. Entering another person's dream... Not so much.
the micro spikes are sharp enough to pierce the suit. nuff said.
The Legend what I always thought
Not quite enough said. It's not like beard or leg hair. Look closely at a gecko's foot -- it looks like a pad, not a beard. That's because thousands and thousands of hairs are packed very tight. Unless ALL of these could pass through a
suit, it would be like putting a glove on a gecko. -- KH
The Legend he doesn't have "hairs" in his hands and feet. His ability to Wall crawl is him manipulating the electrostatic force between him and the surface. That's why Electro is able to manipulate Spidey's Wall crawling
Scott Sansom or the hair on his feet and hand allow him to manipulate the electro static force. Maybe that is how Spider climb wall in Marvel/Sony universe
Scott Sansom so spidey in the comics can climb walls through magic???
Yeah, I’d always wondered this!
Great job as always, saw Spiderman Homecoming two days ago, had a blast watching and Tom Holland was great, best Spiderman ever (imo at least)! Also the new suit is super cool, could you do an episode, explaining how it works (not all its functions, just basic stuff of cource XD)?!?!?
4:42 RIP :(
Legion Wasnlos lol 😄
Spider-man killing Dr Connors maybe?
love your channel, keep making great content! I watch nerdiest and do homework it's great😂😊
Thanks Caleb! Just make sure the homework actually gets done! -- KH
Cute little spider taking his dinner off the graph.
Dude I love these videos.
I wish you were my science teacher. Left a like and a sub
So it's sounding like, somebody could become Spider-Man without a radioactive spider bite...because science.
JasonicProtosh
right up to the moment they realise mid jump or climb that they don't have his strength, speed or his intellect to fabricate the web shooters needed.
Rip wannabe Spider-Man.
Hey there! It's your friendly neighborhood Peter Porker!
I wonder how much thought the team in charge of this movie put into that particular thing. I say it because they made it very clear how expensive the Stark suit was while also showing how the "original" spider suit uses gloves without cover on the fingers. That kind of details is one of the many reasons why this movie is so cool.
Your videos are amazing and creative... Like keep going my best wishes are with you
uummmmm anyone else noticed the spider taking the gecko away?
You look like Felicity Smoak in Arrow and Thor had a baby
Fine with it -- KH
Nerdist Both are attractive, so it's a compliment actually
This is why I am fine with it -- KH
Love your vids! Can you do an episode/s on the properties of Flubber?
Ok that Slugman bit crack me up like heck
Who's been wondering about this for ages?
Ta Co me
In comic books spider-man has no spiderhairs on his hands, it's movie only thing. In comics he simply can stick to any surface even with his butt, because he's using atomic attraction.
Ta Co i've always wondered how in the tobey movies, they decided to let his webs shoot organically. BUT the suit would block them wouldn't they?
Ta Co the hairs just go through the suit
Years
soo.... does this mean we could make a spider suit that would let us climb walls if we had enough strength? Why are these not already a thing?
Because it's bullshit not science. This guy is just a gay parade princess making some CZcams money with fake science.
Pikudo Pikao YEAH RIGHT
Pikudo Pikao So... where's your PhD again?
This is theoretical science, not fake science. All the math and information is there, the formulas exist and work for irl things of similar subjects, and half of the things that come from science fiction become reality anyhow (flip phones for the most iconic example). The value this show has in explaining whether or not something is physically possible is enormous, especially for the dreamers and doers who have the brass to follow through with some of these things.
So do us all a favor, take your negative ass on somewhere, and stay gone. Bye ✌
Pikudo Pikao Never read something this stupid. Congrats!
Pikudo Pikao hey asshat the science that you've been proven jackass know your s h i t!
So basically he just has super-strength
yea i mean thats part of his power like you know him being able to carry 8 times his own weight and stuff
the GBO gamer its more than 8 times though. but you are correct.
And adhesive powers. Not just super strength.
And very fast reflexes.
fun fact he can lift like 10-20 tons
I love thinking about the people in who create these super heroes seeing explanation videos like this and thinking “yeah that... that’s what I meant by... yeah”
Nice video Kyle Hill.
Kyle... but how much force would he need to pull his hand away from the wall??
I’ve always wondered about this
I like this guy's analysis mixing science fiction with science giving some credibility to the characters he talks about.
After doing a bit of research I’ve found that various spiders actually stick to walls using 3 different methods
. The obvious one with the hair and the magnetism electron shit
. Claws that grip things
. Spider silk that’s spun out of these organs in their feet called spigots
Bigger spiders like the tarantula have been known to do all 3 and the spider that bit peter was an engineered genetic hybrid of various spiders (depending on the version) so I believe it to be perfectly reasonable for Spider-Man to use all 3 methods
It sounds funny when you try to pronounce van der waals krachten
I was literally asking this question yesterday
I was just abput to ask the question that was answered after the credits.
Thank you for reading my mind
my only question is how does he get his gloves off....
Iron Man
in his early comics his gloves and shoes where very thin and his shoes where basically socks
Even if it's very very thin, a suit would mess with the Van der Waals interactions -- KH
Nerdist tru beans
Nerdist problem is, you're all thinking like non-fictional scientists. The very fact that Peter changed in such a short amount of time is science fiction alone never mind the fact that his powers act in an unconventional way (his muscle and bone structure should not be able to support his speed and strength. Spiders do not have a precognitive ability to detect unknown threats. His ability to stick to walls.) its science fantasy which is what makes it so great.
Kevin McCaleb yeah there was a kind of retcon thing that made Spider-Man's powers have more of a mystic source with the whole Spider-Totem thing and all. I don't know exactly what it was but I do remember this specific line.
"Did a radioactive spider give you your powers, or did radioactivity just kill the spider that gave you your powers?"
The Dragon King yea, it was first introduced during the "mother" storyline then expounded on in the Spider-verse arch. The "mother" storyline was what they used to match his powers to the Raimi movies at the time giving him organic webbing and stronger powers and then sort of "javelins" that also protruded from his forearms before he changed after "dying" while in a showdown with Morlun.
I’ve been asking this for a long time
I remember reading somewhere as a kid in a Spider-Man book that the layer of fabric around his feet and fingertips are supposed to be super thin, almost like a single layer of skin which allows the little hairs to puncture through the fabric and reach the surface of an object that he's trying to cling to.
This is also how the power puff girls hold stuff
Why am i subscribed? *Because Science*
DyNamiC Skillz EXACTLY
Science is my worst and probably least favorite subject but you make it look so cool lol
I love how the spider just takes the lizard haha
how does Spiderman's spider sense work
slappy scare13 Spiders have many larger Predators that want to eat them so their survival instincts kick that let them move fast
but Spider-Man dose not just get a instinct, he literally in some comics and movies sees a vision of the situation and is able to react quickly.
slappy scare13 he doesn't see a vision of the situation it's more of him sensing danger and predicting what would happen
but I've seen him sense when someone is up to no good a while before they open fire
Well, real life Spiders can detect vibrations in the air but Spider-man's sense goes much further. It gives him an omnipresent awareness of his surroundings which is why he can detect danger from over 2.5km away.
5:02 flex tape
This needs WAY more likes
Faxx or faxx
Been wondering this for years
Hello Kyle! I was wondering, can you please do a video explaining lightning/electricity based superheroes/villains like Static Shock or Electro? How are they able to shoot lightning bolts or, more importantly, how can they aim them to be shoot electricity accurately? What applications does electricity generating/manipulating heroes have that are often overlooked or not explored at all? Could an electricity hero exist at all with current or potential near future technology?
Do you really write backwards or use a mirror to film your youtube videos?
AMU or he can write everything normally and mirror the video then add the effects
Blah Blah that means he is left handed.
Wait, he's actually writing?😲
FrostFall Animations LEFTHANDED PEOPLE IS WHERE ITS AT
What are you? Stupid? He did the video normally then he flip the video around in the editing.
how does superman fly without wings? lol
how come the hulk doesn't have stretch marks?
David Sanchez super man can fly because the gravity of his planets is much stronguer than earth so wen he got to earth the gravity for him feels less than the moon gravity so this is wy he can jump high and kinda fly
He jumps high and falls in style
David Sanchez He glides.
David Sanchez this guy asks the real questions
the fact that you’re able to write backwards is so amazing to me
I always wondered about that
So who saw the spider crawl up and take the gecko
Tzarvus I did!!!!!
I did!!!!
yup. I was surprised he didn't stop and acknowledge it.
i dont know how but in the comics they explained ow peter used a really thin material so that he can stick to walls
Remember that line he said that was in the guide book. In the comics it’s explained that his body uses a low level telekinesis which is why he could stick to walls even on his back.
Or the material around hands and and all joins are a thinner material allowing the hair follicle to easily pass through the cloth. Because there is instances where he is kneeling on his knees.
The genius Peter did not think of just using his bare hands.
were can i buy this material and how much does ItS cost for a 6'2" 14years boy?
About $17.82 for the material needed to make the full suit
Lord k.Gaimiz What kind of 14 year old is 6'2"?
Ethan Muncy a very tall 14 year old
Henry Qiu- TurtlesonFilms. How do you make it then?
It's called Unaobtanium, and it's unaffordable.
That doesn't explain how he was able to climb with his shoes on, in the scene lol
He could support his whole weight with his fingers?
Never thought hearing someone say van der waals would be so funny😂😂😂😂
I just like to think about it as Spiderman can just stick to anything even if he's wearing thick armor, and this doesn't only apply to his hands and feet, but his whole body
I feel like the suit would have little effect on the vanderwaals forces -- because the fibrous spider hairs would be so thin, they would easily pass between the threads which make up the suit's fabric, right? Most fabrics are see-through simply being held up to the light. There would be a negligible amount of hairs which would encounter an intersection of fabrics, and would likely slip past them, bunching up in the square gaps between the threads, resulting in virtually no negative impact on stickiness.
Ryan Riverside This is the more likely, and much simpler, explanation imo
+Akhil Thanks! Two sentences and a question instead of 9 minutes wins pretty handily in simplicity, I think. :)
I believe that gecko inspired material is called GeckSkin. look it up if you can.
Very little portion of the fabric have pores in them,which means less contact of hair with outside surface, Also a fabric has its own charge and van der waals interaction, which would interfere with the stickiness of the hair.Nope, you explained nothing.
They will easily pass...probably. They will pass... probably not, hairs are so thin but it doesnt have enough length to go through the suit unless the suit is nanometer thin
comics never get their stories straight so there is multiple explanations but one is that he can control electromagnetic forces to the extent of holding to walls
It's not precisely that he controls electromagnetic force, but rather the electrostatic attraction between molecules. It's application is somewhere between electromagnetism and the strong nuclear force based on the scale of it's application.
give medal to the spider animator :) soo good
This is all tremendously interesting, and answers a lot of questions I had about Spidey... but I can't get over how easily Kyle writes backwards on the screen. Why am I so easily distracted? (although, not distracted enough to miss the subscribe button)
Damn, it was too impressive to be true. Ah well, there's still plenty of sciency goodness to distract me.
how does spider man not get sticked to everything he touches?
Joan Arredondo like geckos do he just lifts up his hand... ig jerking off is out the picture tho. so wait .... does his pubes stick too?
imagine if his dick had sticky skin along with its sticky substance.
Kyle actually answer that, indirectly though, at the very end of the video
Didnt he have these pulse things on his hands and feet that allowed him to climb?
I heard that.
Oh, and for the movies, its was just to much to explain (like the organic webs)
Brb bout to buy that material
I always thought that peter just put little itty bitty holes in his suit and at the time I had forgotten about the hairs so I thought his bare fingers are what was sticky and obviously some of you may (ha get it) be thinking “Ummmmm well peter has fingerprints and someone could get those prints and know peter’s identity” first off fingerprints aren’t always right and second part there won’t be enough print to discover who he is
Or the hairs could just go through the fibers of the suit...
Nope -- KH
Nerdist Because?
Nerdist Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but I have always wondered if his abnormally efficient spider-like hairs could push through the fabric.
If not spandex, maybe something thinner/finer? Bridal mesh? A netted mesh?
It could just be that he made the material of his suit thinner around his finger tips to negate that problem
Questions like these are always hard to answer, because I have to decide what canon to include, and why, and explain it in a way that makes both scientific and comic-book sense. I try my best. So for this, we've seen Peter Parker climb with bare hands and feet. If that's the case, we know from the studies I mentioned that it can't simply be spider hair. We can prove that by making our own material that would really work! Then, knowing something like that is possible, we can go back and say that Spider-Man's skin has to be at least as sticky as this stuff. That's all real, possible, and backed up by math. But it also means that hairs can't poke through, which is why in Homecoming the suit does the work and Peter initially has fingerless gloves. I hope that makes sense! -- KH
Totally unrelated but I can't wait to go watch Thor: Ragnarok!
this is awesome
Even the new Spider-Man movie takes this into consideration by having Peter's lame prototype suit have fingerless gloves, but when Tony gives him his new suit with a butt-ton of upgrades, he presumably has the material needed for stickability (yes, it's a fake word, fight me) in proportion to the surface area given. I love it when movie makers do their homework.
make a spider web shooter !!!
I always liked when he had organic shooters because, yeah spidey is smart, but smart enough to make his own web shooters
Adama Jobe Yes he is. His IQ is on par with, if not surpassing Tony stark. Hank Pym himself admitted he was his equal
Peter Parker is up there with Dr. Doom and Mr. Fantastic in intelligence.
I feel like the problem wouldn't be that he isn't SMART enough but that he isn't RICH enough to buy the materials necessary to create these incredible and complex chemical engineered inventions.
chibillama24 true. like how Tony stark is a genius but without his money there would be no iron man
Why not get fingerless gloves.... and toeless socks?
StarMak he actually wears fingerless gloves on the homemade suit in spiderman homecoming.
And tony stark is an engineer so he could have perfected the model
