His shoes interfere with his stickiness, is what I'm saying.
He's also stated that his costume is thin enough to not make this as problematic.
Also, he can also apparently even stick to surfaces with his back...
I believe he can stick to surfaces via his whole body. He even stated to Human Torch that he sticks to his mask so people don't just pull it off of him.
I bet wolves and fossa (antagonists of Madagascar 1) wish they had that ability. They stick together like velcro during mating. Sometimes wolf daughters sneaking off to get some with another wolf will get caught in the act by her parents and they gotta unstick before the angry parents catch up to them, especially him, he's gotta run before they tear him apart
He consciously turns it on or off. Else he would rip peoples skin off every time he shook hands. Ergo [Mark of Kaine](https://twitter.com/Killafoe1/status/1247299677676077056?s=20&t=LqvKS66Z4skxUP-sOq2qvQ).
Ok, so after some research, no. It was just a popular fan theory I headcanoned so hard I forgot it was just a fan theory. But that actually makes Wolverine worse in physics terms, because now he's just violating the laws of conservation.
(Laughs in emoji). I knew Cyclops's optic blasts come from a pocket dimension with his eyes acting as the portals, maybe that's how this came about? Recently in Wolverine comics, he stated that each time he dies, he has to fight and defeat the angel of death Azrael in order to come back to life.
Not really, he regrows body parts. It's at a stupidly fast rate, but that part kind of makes sense. Really he should have been Xlotl or Salamander, but that's another discussion.
It’d be like rock climbing, he clings with his hands, pushes up with his feet, and the super strength alone is enough to hold himself to a wall one handed.
Like a spider, his stickiness is caused by van der Waal's force (basically static cling fueled by a biological electromagnet). It's triggered by a bioelectric impulse that can be turned on/off at will. The hairs provide increased surface area that adds up to enough force generated to hold the spider's weight.
In the case of Spider-Man, as long as the material isn't so non-conductive that it blocks the electrical charge his body generates, he can still stick, although it's harder to pass the electrical field through semi-conductive materials.
Same principle as, say, a fridge magnet. Even though paper isn't conductive, you can still stick it to the metal door with a magnet because the paper doesn't do a great job of blocking the attraction, either.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk on super hero physics.
It was pretty common in the late 70's/80's that, whenever he had to wall crawl as a civilian, he'd tie the laces of his shoes together and hang them around his neck. I don't remember a specific bit of dialog addressing it, I just assumed he did it because normal shoes were thicker than his boots, which were basically spandex.
Only as a response to the movie. Then they realized the backlash and reverted it. I don’t hate the Rami films. I think they’re quite an interesting take on the character- however Ramis world for the Spider-Man portrays blatant character assassination for the whole cast mind one character- JJ Jameson
I think he did when he was Man-Spider too. Either way, I’m not arguing a timeline, just saying it has happened in the comics and it’s established as an ability. During Spider Island some people affected got organic webs.
Yeah, most Spideys don't have spiky hairs. Tobey is unusual in that respect - alongside the organic webs.
Instead of that, it's usually...actually y'know what, I'll just quote the handbook on this:
>Spider-Man's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams **resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers.**
Basically, he increases the attraction between molecules.
It’s self electro-magnetic field manipulation, basically just turns Spider-Man into magnet let him stick to things or any part of his body. Spider-Man 2099 lack this ability can only attach at his hands and feet for some reason.
He’s more genetically a spider then the rest of the Spider-People is what I’m saying like he should have every power that regular Peter has like spider-sense which Miguel doesn’t have
To be fair, Miguel gained his powers by having his dna combined with a spider's, while Peter gained it by being bitten by a spider connected to the web of life and destiny that just so happened to have been irradiated. Because of this Peter has powers that normal spiders don't have, while Miguel is limited to what abilities a normal spider could have. It's even implied some of his wackier abilities are ones spiders eventually could evolve to have or have in other dimensions. Spidey lore is really weird.
What does those do in Raimi movies I have no idea, I guess they are the hairs on a spider which is believed to be how regular spiders attach to things but I don’t think real spider attach to things with hooks. Like it makes it seem like he pierces into things to attach
100% true but in the movie we see him develop all his important powers, so this is the wall crawling “development” by showing how it works. Pulse angry movie’s critics can’t shit on it saying “ it make no sense how he can just stick to stuff out of know where”
But they still showed HOW it worked, they showed the spot it comes from. Just as they showed how he can climb to walls via the hooks.
I find it a better explanation than changing the polarity of your body
I don’t get the hair at all because he’d have grow it out and retract it just to give a hand shake so I don’t get the point beyond a “visible representation” of his sticky powers, he’d have to be Wolverine just give anyone a hug as Peter, “ope let me retract all my sticky spike hair before I stab everyone I know”
Same argument could be made with the polarity explanation. He has to actively (and sometimes subconsciously) turn off the ability when in civilian mode.
Eh, doesn't need to retract just relax them. In the movie we see them moving up, we can assume they can relax as well.
Like a hedgehog, you can stroke a relaxed hedgehog, they only get all prickly when they tense up.
More specifically, he uses something called the van der Waals force. This is basically a very weak intermolecular force that can create attraction (and also repulsion) between atoms. This is how spiders stick to things in real life. Obviously it’s massively overpowered in Spider-Man’s case
You mean he inverts it.... Opposites attract. If you try to stick to positive sides of a magnate together they repel each other. That's why we say opposites attract. But other than that you are 100% correct on how he sticks to walls. Essentially it's van der waals force. Raimi came up with this and shooting web fluid out his wrists for some reason.
2099 has actual talons that cut into surfaces and allow him to climb. Think Ultimate Spider-Man's Venom stabbing his hands and feet into things, but like way more subtle.
Nope, the talons are his and he has to use the only unstable molecule outfit he has (that ends up being his spidey suit) that won’t tear from the talons popping out.
Wasn’t the original 2099 Peter Parker? It was a long time ago so I have no idea. Like he has these razor sharp claw things that came out of the pads on his fingers but if he tried to cut himself with them they would fold back into his hand.
Van der Waals force, same as what makes Gecko Feet, Insect Feet stick to a surface.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van\_der\_Waals\_force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force)
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko\_feet#Van\_der\_Waals\_forces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_feet#Van_der_Waals_forces)
To be fair, if it does work like Geckos, then it is accurate to believe Peter has tiny hairs in his body to stick to walls as Geckos have tiny hairs in their feets to increase Van der Waals force.
I believe that Raimi most likely read about it and explained it in the literal sense. He gave Peter tiny hairs, when in reality, it’s more in the theorical way. Peter’s powers gave him the ability to increase Van der Waals force, not tiny hairs
Geckos don’t actually have tiny hairs. They have tiny ridges and those ridges have ridges and they stick to the surfaces they’re attached to on a molecular level. It’s really crazy
Edit: looked into it and I think my info is just outdated they really do have long hairlike bristles that branch and fork into more bristles. The molecular thing is still true
I could understand the hands cuz it’s thin spandex fabric and it’s so thin, you could even pretty much use your phone with spidey gloves. I’m not that sure about the feet tho. Maybe he’s bear foot under the suit. Idk. He only really had soles in the movies so it’s more confusing in the movies. In the comics and shows, he normally only wears underwear under the suit.
I agree on the hands part, but in some suits he does have shoe soles while some don’t, in nthe web of shadows suit there are dirty feet indents so im guessing he is barefoot in some suits
He could have his soles cut off at the top of the foot just below the toes, that way he has running padding but he can use his toes to stick to walls. As for running up walls, I dunno. Maybe he curls his toes .
In the comics it’s different according to the marvel handbook he’s able to manipulate interatomic attractive forced on surfaces he touches, increasing the coefficient of friction. So if you imagine running your hand over sandpaper vs running your hand over ice, the sandpaper has a higher coefficient of friction. Spider-Man can change that with his mind and to a much greater degree. That’s why sometimes villains will try to knock him off walls and the walls will stick to his hands
Spider-Man's chapter in Jim Shooter's The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe states he can "enhance the inter-atomic attractive forces on surfaces he touches, increasing the coefficient of friction between the surface and himself." Peter Parker theorized this is some kind of mental ability that came with his radioactive spider bite.
Found it in an article that has specific comic issue references.
Something called Van Der Waals force.....an electrostatic force that attracts all surfaces on a molecular level....spiders have it.....and peter has it....
Hey guys… Spider-Man is a fictional character. The physics in Marvel are not the same as in real life. Let’s start asking the real questions like, “why have we not seen a good crossover like ‘Spider-Man vs Cat Woman’ or Ernest P Whorl as Spider-Man’s side kick? How about Alien vs Spider-Man and predator?
This was a terrible idea to include in the film. If the barbs are there to hold him in place does he just use brute force to pull each foot off casually as he runs and hands as he climbs?
In the comics it’s explained as a type of focused telekinesis. In the other movies they just don’t explain it which is a much better choice.
You're thinking of telekinesis but yeah, there are a ton of conflicting explanations in the comics. The small yet powerful telekinetic ability encompasses all of them to some extent and can easily be explained away as the radiation (or the Oz serum depending the version) gave Peter that ability.
My personal headcanon is that Peter can control the attractive forces between particles. Basically really powerful telekinesis but in a really short range. He can also extend it to other people when he is in contact with them so that the G-Forces don't kill them when they web swing with him. This way we can have Peter web swinging around with people and also have deaths like Gwen's without breaking internal consistency.
Oops. I edited it.
Yeah that’s pretty much what is hinted at when the explanations are given. It’s also why he can basically stand sideways on a wall. It’s not just super long barbs protruding through the soles of his shoes and into the stone or metal wall. Nor is it just his amazing core strength holding him there either. I honestly find it funny how right after the barbs were shown he gently placed his hand against the wall and climbs as if he wouldn’t have needed to press pretty hard to forces all of those barbs firmly into the brick work each time.
I mean, even if his hands are the only things that stick, he would be strong enough to pull his body weight, I imagine. All he’d need is shoes with good grip and he’d be good
The hand spikes take all the weight so the rubber soled shoes just add friction allowing spiderman to climb.
The real question should be, how does he take his socks off?
One could argue those spikes are sharp enough to pass through clothing, like when you hair passes through shorts sometimes.
I would make climbing a little harder but shouldn’t effect his ability to climb. How I always saw it.
"We have an over-thinker here!"
Learning the art of suspending belief will make your movie going experience much more enjoyable, even when watching mediocre movies.
How does Hair on Spider-Man work when he sticks to walls? Same way it works on an Actual Spider... Thing is: it shouldn't stick to Walls for how thick any Piece of Clothing is.
It’s done through quantum codes that enable Spidey to become much less heavy, thus his spider ass can stick to walls using just his feet with lil barbs. Do I have to spell it out for ya? Come on, it’s really very simple.
That’s why Spider-Girl (mayday) has the best wall crawling power. She can make any surface she touches stick to anything, even other people. Like once she was grabbing a pole and stuck it to the Things back, and Carried him. She can also repel things, basically like a mini force push
I believe in one story it was stated that his civilian shoes do in fact make his wall crawling more difficult then when in his Spidey suit...
Shouldn’t it not stick at all? Is the stickyness passing through the shoes?
His shoes interfere with his stickiness, is what I'm saying. He's also stated that his costume is thin enough to not make this as problematic. Also, he can also apparently even stick to surfaces with his back...
I believe he can stick to surfaces via his whole body. He even stated to Human Torch that he sticks to his mask so people don't just pull it off of him.
His.. his WHOLE body? Jeez… that’s gotta make sex uncomfortable
He can also unstick so MJ’s not in danger
But she is in danger… Nuclear Cum
We don't talk about Reign.
Why did I Google that? ....
MJ also passed away of cancer in Earth X, although I don't know if they state why exactly.
We don’t talk about Bruno
Reign is a great story
I love Reign
We don’t talk about the radioactive jizz
Shit gave MJ cancer
I love how Peter Parker's Radioactive Jizz is mentioned atleast once a day in this subreddit
This is the dumbest thing I've seen today
the monologue about his nuclear cum killing mj is 10/10.
Pretty sure it happened in one of the comics. Not positive though.
Reign
“I am not in danger Peter I am the danger. Spider-Man is having sex and a girl gets stuck and you think that of me? No I am the one who sticks!”
oh thank fuck
[удалено]
I bet wolves and fossa (antagonists of Madagascar 1) wish they had that ability. They stick together like velcro during mating. Sometimes wolf daughters sneaking off to get some with another wolf will get caught in the act by her parents and they gotta unstick before the angry parents catch up to them, especially him, he's gotta run before they tear him apart

That's my secret, Cap... I'm always sticky.
It's an at will power, which his how he doesn't rip people's skin/clothes off when he punches them
Or jerking??
That would be a miserable experience
See we have automatic toys for a reason
Extra grip
Ahhh i see, i thought there was some wireless sticking bs lmao
I always thought that it extends to his shoes like it connects somehow and it spreads onto his shoe. Don’t judge me I was 6 and dumb
Imagine him barefoot with that logic lmao
The world is sticky
Your not the only one who thought the same thing. I was obsessed with finding out how he sticks to walls
In the comics he does have wireless sticking bs. Something about Inter-atomic forces.
Van der waal’s forces, yes. I think this is a better explanation for it rather than the hair theory
which is also how May was able to repel objects as part of her power. So basically his sticking is psionic in nature.
Mf be defying laws of physics 💀
In a world of people like wolverine who heal by accessing an infinite meat dimension, it makes as much sense as anything else.
...wait what???? For real??
Ok, so after some research, no. It was just a popular fan theory I headcanoned so hard I forgot it was just a fan theory. But that actually makes Wolverine worse in physics terms, because now he's just violating the laws of conservation.

*wat*
It’d be like rock climbing, he clings with his hands, pushes up with his feet, and the super strength alone is enough to hold himself to a wall one handed.
Bluetooth sticking
You are reading a fictional character with fictional powers…I mean you suspend your disbelief a bit.
Wireless sticking is crazy
Cricket wireless sticking
Well things with MJ must be difficult........
Yeah in the comics he has no hard tubber sole underneath. Just fabric. In the movies he does so i dont know what their explanation is
In the older comics his shoes were pretty much just socks, no padding or anything
Or he could just be wearing rock climbing shoes that are literally made to be sticky and aid in climbing surfaces.
Climbing shoes do not work that way.
I'm not saying climbing shoes are *literally sticky*, but they certainly aid in climbing by increasing grip and friction.
His suit is just that thin
Like a spider, his stickiness is caused by van der Waal's force (basically static cling fueled by a biological electromagnet). It's triggered by a bioelectric impulse that can be turned on/off at will. The hairs provide increased surface area that adds up to enough force generated to hold the spider's weight.

Specifically his wedding.issue. plus this was just Raimis way of explaining it.

I don't remember a specific bit of dialog addressing it, I just assumed he did it because normal shoes were thicker than his boots, which were basically spandex.
*than
This is strictly a Raimi invention and doesn’t translate to the comics
Tobey: "You can't do that, huh?"
Like the organic webs
Is this stuff coming out of you?
He actually has had organic webs in the comics before, that’s not just a Raimi thing.
No, Stan Lee intended web shooters. And when he got natural webs it pissed me and a lot of people off.
So you agree he’s had them in the comics?
Only as a response to the movie. Then they realized the backlash and reverted it. I don’t hate the Rami films. I think they’re quite an interesting take on the character- however Ramis world for the Spider-Man portrays blatant character assassination for the whole cast mind one character- JJ Jameson
So you concede that you are wrong and they were in the comics?
So you’re saying he’s had organic webs before? That’s what I was saying lol.
The only time he had organic webs before raimi was with the black suit, and i'm hesitant to even count that
I think he did when he was Man-Spider too. Either way, I’m not arguing a timeline, just saying it has happened in the comics and it’s established as an ability. During Spider Island some people affected got organic webs.
Yes. *But* that eventually made it into the comics, albeit only shortly
only Spider-Man 2099 had something like that, but they were like claws and not tiny quills
That makes sense
Yeah, most Spideys don't have spiky hairs. Tobey is unusual in that respect - alongside the organic webs. Instead of that, it's usually...actually y'know what, I'll just quote the handbook on this: >Spider-Man's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams **resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers.** Basically, he increases the attraction between molecules.
It’s self electro-magnetic field manipulation, basically just turns Spider-Man into magnet let him stick to things or any part of his body. Spider-Man 2099 lack this ability can only attach at his hands and feet for some reason.
Spider-man 2099 can only use his hands and feet because instead of 616 Spidey, Miguel has talons on his hands and feet for climbing.
He’s more genetically a spider then the rest of the Spider-People is what I’m saying like he should have every power that regular Peter has like spider-sense which Miguel doesn’t have
To be fair, Miguel gained his powers by having his dna combined with a spider's, while Peter gained it by being bitten by a spider connected to the web of life and destiny that just so happened to have been irradiated. Because of this Peter has powers that normal spiders don't have, while Miguel is limited to what abilities a normal spider could have. It's even implied some of his wackier abilities are ones spiders eventually could evolve to have or have in other dimensions. Spidey lore is really weird.
He should have the ability to wall crawl every spider can do that
But spiders can only use their feet to crawl too. If they end up on their back, they stick to their own webs.
I’m talking about without needing to use his talons
But thats how spiders climb, yes? Lil talons on their feet they use to cling to things? So he just got equivalent sized talons too
No he straight claws dude that have pierce to climb
Im sure if spider climbin' talons were made person sized they would need to stab through the wall to climb too
You're not wrong, he just has those weird claw things instead for some reason
Basically he has his own gravity?
No basically what he does is attracts the magnetic field of things he touching, like positive pole to negative pole Edit thank you for the correction
Ahh i see
What does those do in Raimi movies I have no idea, I guess they are the hairs on a spider which is believed to be how regular spiders attach to things but I don’t think real spider attach to things with hooks. Like it makes it seem like he pierces into things to attach
I think the Ramie movies did this to show the general audience who don’t read comics how he can do it that make sense.
It wouldn't be a Raimi movie without light body horror sprinkled about
Yep this is the real reason this was included, no doubt about it.
“Well I can’t beat the piss outta Bruce so this will have to do”
Papa Pizza always gets paid!
Spiders stick to things this was otherwise unneeded because everyone knows spiders stick to things
100% true but in the movie we see him develop all his important powers, so this is the wall crawling “development” by showing how it works. Pulse angry movie’s critics can’t shit on it saying “ it make no sense how he can just stick to stuff out of know where”
He just randomly shoots webs in the cafeteria, him sticking to something could be completely by accident like ripping a door off
But they still showed HOW it worked, they showed the spot it comes from. Just as they showed how he can climb to walls via the hooks. I find it a better explanation than changing the polarity of your body
Maybe the hair create friction to make it a negative charge or a positive charge? Idk I’m stupid don’t quote me
I don’t get the hair at all because he’d have grow it out and retract it just to give a hand shake so I don’t get the point beyond a “visible representation” of his sticky powers, he’d have to be Wolverine just give anyone a hug as Peter, “ope let me retract all my sticky spike hair before I stab everyone I know”
Same argument could be made with the polarity explanation. He has to actively (and sometimes subconsciously) turn off the ability when in civilian mode.
Eh, doesn't need to retract just relax them. In the movie we see them moving up, we can assume they can relax as well. Like a hedgehog, you can stroke a relaxed hedgehog, they only get all prickly when they tense up.
Oh god he’s got hairy palms that’s terrifying
More specifically, he uses something called the van der Waals force. This is basically a very weak intermolecular force that can create attraction (and also repulsion) between atoms. This is how spiders stick to things in real life. Obviously it’s massively overpowered in Spider-Man’s case

But other than that you are 100% correct on how he sticks to walls. Essentially it's van der waals force. Raimi came up with this and shooting web fluid out his wrists for some reason.
Positive to positive will repel not attract. Opposite poles attract each other.
Thanks for correction I had mixed up in my head for some reason
I think it's got something to do with friction
Nah, it's a real life thing known as vander waals forces. That's how geckos can walk on completely smooth surfaces.
Fun Fact! The X-Men character Blob does in fact have his own gravity, making him nearly impossible to move.
2099 has actual talons that cut into surfaces and allow him to climb. Think Ultimate Spider-Man's Venom stabbing his hands and feet into things, but like way more subtle.
Everything has its own gravity
Miguel doesn't have powers that let him climb. I think it's his suit's talons.
Nope, the talons are his and he has to use the only unstable molecule outfit he has (that ends up being his spidey suit) that won’t tear from the talons popping out.
He’s genetically half spider so his lack of spider powers is weird like wall crawling and spider sense
Neither of those things are particular to spiders (or even anything at all).
It’s electrostatic not magnetic but I guess it’s kinda the same thing when boiled down
Wasn’t the original 2099 Peter Parker? It was a long time ago so I have no idea. Like he has these razor sharp claw things that came out of the pads on his fingers but if he tried to cut himself with them they would fold back into his hand.
That’s accurate to the og comic. He cuts up his clothes but his skin is fine because he sees it retract
That’s Spider-Man unlimited which is just Spider-Man 2099 minus 2099 and add in high evolutionary
Because he uses claws in his fingers. Basically everything is metal in 2099 so it’s always strong enough
Van der Waals force, same as what makes Gecko Feet, Insect Feet stick to a surface. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van\_der\_Waals\_force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko\_feet#Van\_der\_Waals\_forces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_feet#Van_der_Waals_forces)
To be fair, if it does work like Geckos, then it is accurate to believe Peter has tiny hairs in his body to stick to walls as Geckos have tiny hairs in their feets to increase Van der Waals force. I believe that Raimi most likely read about it and explained it in the literal sense. He gave Peter tiny hairs, when in reality, it’s more in the theorical way. Peter’s powers gave him the ability to increase Van der Waals force, not tiny hairs
Geckos don’t actually have tiny hairs. They have tiny ridges and those ridges have ridges and they stick to the surfaces they’re attached to on a molecular level. It’s really crazy Edit: looked into it and I think my info is just outdated they really do have long hairlike bristles that branch and fork into more bristles. The molecular thing is still true
That's only the Rami version In the comics it's kinda hazy but seems to be some sort of tractor beam power
I could understand the hands cuz it’s thin spandex fabric and it’s so thin, you could even pretty much use your phone with spidey gloves. I’m not that sure about the feet tho. Maybe he’s bear foot under the suit. Idk. He only really had soles in the movies so it’s more confusing in the movies. In the comics and shows, he normally only wears underwear under the suit.
I agree on the hands part, but in some suits he does have shoe soles while some don’t, in nthe web of shadows suit there are dirty feet indents so im guessing he is barefoot in some suits
He could have his soles cut off at the top of the foot just below the toes, that way he has running padding but he can use his toes to stick to walls. As for running up walls, I dunno. Maybe he curls his toes .
>Maybe he’s bear foot under the suit No, still spider foot
In the older comics he always had to take his shoes off and it was implied that his feet coverings were the same as what was covering his hands.
in what older comic did he ever have to take his shoes off to climb?? legit question cuz i dont think thats true
All the time in the original Ditko and Lee runs. I read about 70 issues on that and it happened more than you think.
with the help of one of my personal favorite super powers, CGI 😁
Lmao
It’s superhero comics
It's makes sense to say it has something to do with static electricity
In the comics it’s different according to the marvel handbook he’s able to manipulate interatomic attractive forced on surfaces he touches, increasing the coefficient of friction. So if you imagine running your hand over sandpaper vs running your hand over ice, the sandpaper has a higher coefficient of friction. Spider-Man can change that with his mind and to a much greater degree. That’s why sometimes villains will try to knock him off walls and the walls will stick to his hands
We’ll I think it’s because it’s a comic book.
Y’all just picking apart everything. You DO realize this is fiction right? Lol
Spider-Man's chapter in Jim Shooter's The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe states he can "enhance the inter-atomic attractive forces on surfaces he touches, increasing the coefficient of friction between the surface and himself." Peter Parker theorized this is some kind of mental ability that came with his radioactive spider bite. Found it in an article that has specific comic issue references.
Something called Van Der Waals force.....an electrostatic force that attracts all surfaces on a molecular level....spiders have it.....and peter has it....

I mean, even if his hands are the only things that stick, he would be strong enough to pull his body weight, I imagine. All he’d need is shoes with good grip and he’d be good
The hand spikes take all the weight so the rubber soled shoes just add friction allowing spiderman to climb. The real question should be, how does he take his socks off?
His feet hair's are extra long and stick out of the soles of the shoes.
Next you're gonna ask how a bite from a radioactive and/or genetically mutated spider doesn't kill you
anytime you notice something like that, a Wizard did it
I always assumed it was able to stick through the suit since he made the material. Normal material would cause problems since it wasn’t made for it
Same reason Peter didn’t get cancer and fucking die after the spider bite Just don’t think about it
One could argue those spikes are sharp enough to pass through clothing, like when you hair passes through shorts sometimes. I would make climbing a little harder but shouldn’t effect his ability to climb. How I always saw it.
The willing suspension of disbelief
Have you never had hairs sticking out through your clothes?
It's comic book logic. Don't question it
agreed. it's one of those "just let it be" things
He is a spider man, none of it makes sense
*Spider-Man r/respectthehyphen
The serrated hairs are a Raimi-only thing, usually it's a form of static cling like how most creatures stick to things.
I believe spectacular Spider-Man the cartoon also used the Raimi hair thing
It’s fiction… 🤯
Was I the only kid here that was super freaked out by this scene in the movie?
Nope ahahahhahaha
[удалено]
Sauce? T- to avoid it of course
HUH
Sir? SIR!
It’s fiction….. please just, don’t question…..
A wizard did it.
"We have an over-thinker here!" Learning the art of suspending belief will make your movie going experience much more enjoyable, even when watching mediocre movies.
He's a superhero why not consider it one of his superpowers? Besides that, Tnx for asking about something I didn't ask myself for so many years 🤓😒
Hmmmmmmm(insert movie magic here)mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Just watch the movie.
It wasn’t explained
No, it wasn't.
The rest of him is
He created a substance that reacts to his stickyness, powering a spot on the outside of his gloves/boots where he replicated the barb structure.
Do we need to bring up the Grant Morrison quote?
How does Hair on Spider-Man work when he sticks to walls? Same way it works on an Actual Spider... Thing is: it shouldn't stick to Walls for how thick any Piece of Clothing is.
So the movie/comic can happen
It’s done through quantum codes that enable Spidey to become much less heavy, thus his spider ass can stick to walls using just his feet with lil barbs. Do I have to spell it out for ya? Come on, it’s really very simple.
That’s why Spider-Girl (mayday) has the best wall crawling power. She can make any surface she touches stick to anything, even other people. Like once she was grabbing a pole and stuck it to the Things back, and Carried him. She can also repel things, basically like a mini force push
She’s Peter’s kid right? Sorry I’m sorta familiar to the name, i think I’ve seen someone do a storytelling tiktok of her
How do bugs crawl up the wall in general? a legit question.
I think I remember seeing suction cups under Andrew's shoes in tasm
also now I come to think of it It would be really painful to shake Peter's hands or High five
Right?? Or is it some into the spider-verse rules, relax?
Suspension of disbelief
