Amazing Spider-Man 48/49: The Wings of the Vulture

 Commentary

Annotations

....We have previously theorised that Spider-Man’s powers come from his channelling an external “Spider-Force”. This explains why he is almost as strong as the Hulk but retains the physique of a skinny teenager; why he can lift heavier objects at some times than he can at others; and why he sometimes addresses his strength as if it were an external force. I think it is clear that the Spider-Force is regulating his internal temperature (in the same way that it seems to regulate his eyesight) making it possible for him to survive in extreme cold wearing almost no clothing....


....as soon as Kraven learns of the Vulture's existence, he takes it for granted that he has to go and have a fight-scene with him. He doesn't say "Aha, a new prey, and a new challenge" which would have been in character. Instead he is annoyed because a news report says that the Vulture is the city’s deadliest menace. He wants to prove that he is even deadlier and more menacing. Perhaps he should have obtained a black and red striped jumper and an Abyssinia wire-haired trip hound?.....
