10 Terrible Mistakes That Almost Ruined Spider-Man For Everyone
10. The Spider-Mobile - Amazing Spider-Man #130 (1974)
Many superheroes have their own distinctive mode of transport to assist them in their crimefighting. The Avengers pilot the Quinjet, Wonder Woman pilots the Invisible Jet, and Batman has the Batmobile.
Now, not all vigilantes have their own distinctive vehicle. Since Spider-Man can zip around the city of Manhattan with his web shooters, it would be non-sensical for the webhead to drive a superhero-styled car.
But in Amazing Spider-Man #130, Spidey got his very own Spider-Mobile. When the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four revealed the car, he told Spider-Man he could use it to catch criminals. Despite the fact the webslinger had never driven a car before, he took the Spider-Mobile and used it for several adventures.
The response from readers was mostly negative, mainly because it was clear the Spider-buggy was only incorporated into the comics to sell toys.
Why would Spider-Man need a car when he can thwip his way around the city at ten times the speed? It would be like if Superman fought crime while riding a bicycle!
