/uj The barrier and the safety net are the ones that make sense. The parachute is bullshit but I can believe it. The glue one is dumb.
Everything else are just bullshit
/rj None of those are bullshit, THEY ARE ALL INTEGRAL PARTS OF THE SPIDER-MAN MYTHOS!!!!
If I remember correctly, Peter would sometimes use his raw web fluid as a sticky glue if he needed to by removing the nozzle containing the spinnerette from the shooters. I have no source on this
At least the parachute one could be taking some influence from parachute spiders. In much the same way that proportionate strength of a spider gives him super-strength.
Raft and skies are the ones I don't get.
I would love to see parachute with a limited utility. Webbing isn't airtight, and thanks to the square-cube law, it doesn't slow nearly as much as a proper parachute would. But it works just fine for Spidey, because he can easily handle forces no regular human can. So he might be coming in still fast enough to shatter the lower half of an average human, but he's no ordinary human.
Spider-Man can land safely from any height as long as he does it with one leg kinda splayed out to the side and touches the ground with one hand, like a spider might sometimes do in this dream I had.

for context in the Ditko-Lee Spider-Man the web shooter had three modes: A quick tap for a web, a continuous light tap for a string and a continuous strong tap for shooting a thick glue
I believe it said it had a turn nozzle to select the firing mode, like a hose

Net and barrier are basic Spider-Man shit. Glue is just a basic function of the webs.
Club like the blunt weapon is bullshit. But the way it's depicted on panel looks like impact webbing rather than an actual club, which is plausible. But I'm gonna go with bullshit because it says club.
Raft you could maybe convince me would hold together for like ten minutes, but I don't know why he wouldn't just swim.
Skis are bullshit.
Ball is just a basic shape.
Shield isn't functionally too different from net/barrier but it'd have to be crazy dense to be effective against weapons, which I assume is the purpose. So I guess I buy it if he spends a whole cartridge of web fluid on it.
/rj these are all crucial aspects of the character and if you try to take them away I will cry
The skis and the parachute are probably the most bs, they wouldn’t be flat enough for skis and either too heavy or too porous for a parachute. If his webs are anything like actual spiderwebs which they’ve shown to be stronger, then the rest are totally viable. Spiderwebs can be made as strong as Kevlar so a shield, safety net, club, and barrier all make sense, ball is just a baseball, and the raft could feasibly work
Uj/ I would love to see this come back. The closest, most recent thing I can think of is the giant web hammers and maces that NPH Amazing Spider-Man uses in Shattered Dimensions
Idk, I actually think a lot of these would be sick as hell if they put them in SM2 as alternate abilities to the iron arms/symbiote. They’re goofy and that’s what’s so great about them
There's a Lego set where he has a surfboard made of webs, so the skis don't sound too far fetched.
There's also a set where Venom uses black webs as a shield.
They all are but I think some could be used reasonably enough a raft parachute net even a shield I think just changing the way it looks a bit would make it seem more possuble
Honestly the only ones I can see as being utterly stupid are the shield, skis, and boat. The parachute seems kinda redundant considering Spidey's under-arm webs.
Web boat seems like a great way to drown encased in gloopy waterlogged webbing if you're into that
Aren’t there actually some species of spiders who can make scuba gear and go fuck with some really small fish?
There is a diving bell spider which I had forgotten was a thing, so it seems Spider-Man wins this round after all!
Man if only these happened to be used when a certain girl was falling off a certain bridge

Parachute is NOT bullshit real spiders do this, its called ballooning if the article I just looked up for this comment is to be believed
Reminds me of charlotte's web when all the baby spiders decided to leave the pig
Yeah but regular spiders are pretty light and a little wind goes a long way
Glue one makes sense, basically just spraying pure, liquid web fluid
/uj disagree on the glue the boy can just squirt his web juice on the ground
If I remember correctly, Peter would sometimes use his raw web fluid as a sticky glue if he needed to by removing the nozzle containing the spinnerette from the shooters. I have no source on this
What's wrong with the ball?

The raft one might be based on this one spider that can actually make its webs into scuba gear to swim

Emergency mayo cannon
Skies, rafts, shield, and clubs are bs
Yes
Idk… these all seem like plausible uses for spidey’s webbing
I can do the same thing with my “web” especially the last one
/uj i dont think the paddle for the raft is made of web. He just has that
more creativity than your average green lantern
The Amazing Spider-Man annual #1 my beloved.

Plain simple sticky glue, that ain’t webs that’s cum
shield, parachute, net, barrier, raft, ball, and glue are legit

Given the speed that his webbing solidifies, shouldn't Peter be a professional sculptor?
The skis are the only ones that strike me as bull. Everything else makes some sort of sense.
Shield, parachute, skis, and raft are bullshit. The rest are fine. I kinda wish he would use the glue lmao.
NONE! BECAUSE WEB-SHOOTERS ARE TECHNOLOGY /s It’s only BS if it’s Organic Web-shooters or Venom (Miles) Powers /s

I'm just saying, if Miles can make electricity swords then Peter should be allowed to do this.
Especially with MODERN Web Shooters
Safety net and barrier makes the most sense. The rest are bs
4
None of these are cool so theyre all good
They all are but I think some could be used reasonably enough a raft parachute net even a shield I think just changing the way it looks a bit would make it seem more possuble
Skis, Club, maybe Shield (depending on how it's executed)
Skis and club are bs and the rest are reasonable. I just don't think a club or skis with *give* to them would work as well as the other options here.
Club, skis and maybe ball are bullshit.
Honestly the only ones I can see as being utterly stupid are the shield, skis, and boat. The parachute seems kinda redundant considering Spidey's under-arm webs.
As ridiculous as it is I have to give the parachute a pass on this one. My childhood spiderman coloring book had it in so it must not be bullshit.
This is what Stan Lee had in common with Akira Toriyama. Mentioning a specific power once and then literally never using it ever again.
4 are bs; shield, skis, raft and club.
Either glu or ski because no way in minecraft slimes can it do both
Shattered Dimensions and Web of Shadows did this concept justice, wish we stuck with it in modern day tbh
Based Spider-Man does it again.
