10 Most Embarrassing Spider-Man Moments

10. The Spider-Mobile - Amazing Spider-Man #130

If you think Marvel likes throwing Gerry Conway under the bus these days, you should've seen how the poor guy was treated when he was crafting the greatest Spider-Man run ever.

When Marvel editorial signed a toy deal for a Spider-Man-themed vehicle, Conway was all but forced at gunpoint to find a way to incorporate it into the comic itself. Thus was born, the spider-mobile, one of the most infamously goofy parts of the Conway era.

The funny thing about this book, looking back, is how so much of it is about how this is an obviously terrible idea that is doomed to failure. All the way down to the ones in-story who come up with the idea for the car being a pair of hucksters who, I'm sure by SHEER coincidence, happen to resemble Stan Lee and Roy Thomas.

The Spider-Mobile would quickly exit the story, as Conway had basically nothing but absolute giggling contempt for the idea on a fundamental level. And frankly, who could blame him.
