He shoots what? From where?
I hate to be the one to bring you this awkwardly bad news, but had Peter Parker’s bite from a radioactive spider actually resulted in him developing the ability to spin webs exactly like a spider does … they wouldn’t be coming out of his hands.
I’ll let you examine the image of a spider’s anatomy at the top and come to your own realization. Yep, that’s right. Spider Man should be shooting webs out of something that rhymes with his “paint”.
Check out the full horrible truth from Bug Girl.
If you like this then you’ll love this post about the horrible physiological and psychological consequences of being Aquaman.
Can you think of any other comics that would be ridiculous if they were more scientifically accurate?
