Nebraska Spider-Man needs this:

Ballooning, sometimes called kiting, is a process by which spiders, and some other small invertebrates, move through the air by releasing one or more gossamer threads to catch the wind, causing them to become airborne...

Sounds leisurely!

Was gonna make a comment about webs as a sling shot and gliding but clearly nature has a way better solution.

Or like Wonder Woman in that terrible sequel where she just suddenly whips across the clouds.

If only he had some skills of a spider

maybe wind was blowing other way

He's out of breath because being in a car-dependent area doesn't afford him opportunities for exercise.

This is an actual plot point of some old Spider-Man stories.

Also, old spider man 2 for PS2. God I hate the parks and low raise buildings in that game.

Wasn't there another character that had something similar happen?

They were lured into an environment where their powers would be useless and they're just like "pfft bitch thought" and started ripping shit straight outta the ground.

I wanna say magneto but I honestly can't remember

I think it was static shock, he rips pipes under a park i guess...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That sounds accurate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think I saw something like that. Maybe even multiple times. Always awesome.

Unfortunately, a corn stalk can only get you so far.

Nebraska Spidermen make do

Super unrealistic!

Fat Spiderman could never get a cab out here on the Prairies, he would show up in a battered farm truck and empty beer cans would fall out when he opened the door

The robber looks properly confused

And if you like that, the same group did a TV show called Danger 5 which is MORE unhinged and awesome

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That was awesome. Shades of Kung Fury.
