>builds one himself
My question is: from a logical perspective, why would he do that? Web shooters are objectively not a very good choice of weapon against villains. There are weapons way better to fight evil without killing. So, why would the guy choose to build a homemade shooter (using resources he doesn't even have)? Just to "live up" by the fact of being a spider-like creature? Wouldn't be better to be more efficient against criminal than to be coherent to your animal semi-persona?
>inb4: developing and building a web shooter is needed to show the guy's tech capabilities and intelligence

None of these answers my question from a logical point of view.
Guy gets bitten by a spider
Webshooters were built for showbiz, not to fight crime, you retard.
>you retard
sorry, comment discarded
>Just to "live up" by the fact of being a spider-like creature?
this is a perfectly logical reason to round out your kit
also, he started out performing on the ed sullivan show, where branding would indeed have been a logical thing to put effort
In the 90s animated series, the spider implanted the recipe for webbing into Peter's brain.
You fucking retard.

name one.
either A) the spider bite gave him an instinctual understanding of adhesives and chemistry as well as the desire to create it.
or
B) spider-man wasn't originally a super hero but a TV performer and daredevil. the webbing was developed for the show and to establish his celebrity persona as a human spider and aerial acrobat. This became irrelelvent when he left show biz to fight crime but if you've got the tools.
Or C)
the webs provide a fast, unrestricted and anonymous way to get around new york. moving not just laterally but vertically. Wall crawling already gave spiderman a method of climbing so naturally he'd be looking for ways to further take advantage of that height like a grappling hook or the gliders built into his costume. Not only that but they give him method of restraining criminals after beating them up.
If they were organic, they wouldn't be coming out of his wrists.
Duh.
>There are weapons way better to fight evil without killing
Not really. It's a non-leathal projectile that works for grabbing objects from across the room and a mode of transportation. It's a very practical tool for his power set.
Using it is perfectly logical, the only hump to get over is how advanced it may or may not be for someone of Pete's education/budget and how replicable it is/uncaring companies seem to be to do so which is bitching about silver age unrealisticness 60 years after the fact
why didn't he create more spider themed
inventions?
Peter's original instinct was to use his power to gain money and fame, so he leaned into the shtick. After Uncle Ben, he changed tracks to fighting crime and repurposed what he made.
Also, you do have to admit his webs offer a certain amount of utility, from snaring street crime without hurting them, dulling and gumming up weapons, holding things together long enough to either get a more permanent patch job or people out, making quick nets to catch falling people, and general travel. Just off the top of my head.
can catch jets on aircraft carriers
>It's a very practical tool for his power set.
Then why no other hero use them? If they're so good as a weapon wouldn't it be logical for others crime-fighters to use them?
>develops spider-related powers like super strength
Spiders don't have super strength. They're quite squishable.
>enhanced resistance
Peter actually got DECREASED resistance to chemicals like caffeine and pesticides.
>"the tingle"
Literally magical precognition in no way associated spiders.
>sticky fingers...
He doesn't have sticky fingers. His brain emits magical subatomic particles that psychically links his mind to electrons near the particles and he uses that to create unnaturally maintained large charge differences between his skin and surfaces to cling to shit with electrostatics. It's an electricity power that has fuck all to do with spiders.
>Literally magical precognition in no way associated spiders.
how do you know? most arachnophobes secrelty want to fuck
spiders anyway
Why do casual autists constantly whine about the web shooters? They’re cool, leave it alone

Is this legit according to what canon? The original comics?
>name one.
two atomic bombs strapped together by tape
You are an absolute mongrel
Go fuck yourself

Peter got hydraulic muscles as a physical mutation
>>enhanced resistance
>Peter actually got DECREASED resistance to chemicals like caffeine and pesticides.
and INCREASED resistance to pressure/force due to the hydraulic reinforcement
>>"the tingle"
>Literally magical precognition in no way associated spiders.
All spiders instinctively know how to be the most annoying they can to humans. This is a fact, and Peter inherited that power

He does have sticky fingers, there was a detailed CGI scene of his fingers literally shooting out glue at the bricks in the Raimi films, Garfield invented the sticky gloves, and we had to sit through a CGI Stark Presentation on how MCU Spidey creates glue out of his fingers. Didn't you watch any of the movies?
Its like you don't know Spider-Man at all
Small organisms are very strong in comparison to their size. Most spiders can drag around 150 times their own weight.
The spider-sense is based on a sensory system many spiders have. It's very fine hair strands that pick up air currents, possibly warning the spider about prey or predators. It is not actually the ability to sense spiders.
Apply comic book logic and everything works fine.
less cool than leopardon
>how do you know?
I'd think science would have found out by now if spiders were all magical precogs.
Same reason no other hero uses any other heroes' schtick.
Marvel wants to keep character brands diverse, if Spider-man used Pym-Particles and vibranium repulsor gaunlets, he'd start cutting into a bunch of different Avengers schtick.
First comic. The whole Spider-persona was built as a gimmick.

square cube law...
gravity just works different at that scale same for surface tension and capillary effect
>First comic. The whole Spider-persona was built as a gimmick.
Thank you, useful and based.
>Go fuck yourself
Just a poor-educated 12yo
quite the opposite as our understanding of magic
is very low
>Web shooters are objectively not a very good choice of weapon against villains
60 years of inventive story telling says otherwise. Ever run into a real spider web? Notice how its seemingly impossible to remove it. Now make human sized and under pressurized release from a machine. Getting shot with a glob of instantly sticky glue rope is gonna put you on your butt. It's like if silly string was dangerous and had weight to it.
