10 Holidays To Not Invite A Superhero To

6. New Year€™s Eve: Spider-Man

6_New Years Spider-Man

There€™s no way around it. New Year€™s Eve is completely dependent on timing. It€™s all about the clock ticking down through a series of time zones, the ball dropping (or pickle, depending on where you€™re from), and being ready for that kiss if and when it comes. And Spider-Man is never on time, thanks to his alter ego, Peter Parker, especially when it comes to being there for a kiss. Unless you bait him with the possibility of an upside down smooch, there€™s no way in Excelsior he€™d make it in time, and everyone will be disappointed, especially the supervillain Peter had to sidetrack himself to catch, unless it€™s the Black Cat. Just invite someone else. Even if you did succeed in getting Peter to show up, Mephisto could come along and erase everything, which sucks for everyone except Harry Osborn. So I guess my point is, if you want Harry Osborn to come back to life, invite Spider-Man to New Year€™s Eve.
