Ehi! Do you remember this scene? I had never seen it, but I love it! I didn't know Johnny knew Peter on a personal basis, though. So many comics I never read... From Dan Slott's Spider-Man and Human Torch: I'm With Stupid! Really fun mini-series, with each issue set at a different point in their history. The third issue has the Spidey Mobile and fruit pies.... The early part of the story finds Torch trying to teach Spidey how to drive and he ends up sounding like Sue. The car also ends up on blocks, at one point. The fifth and final issue features the Torch learning Spidey's identity, in a rather creative way...involving children's rhymes.

By the way, this would be the most ethical way to use your hypothetical superpowers!!!

I'm not sure how I missed this thread before! I can't imagine anyone in the real world choosing to fight crime.. what crime? we don't have super villains. Seems much more likely they'd keep the powers themselves a secret and make all the money in their sport of choice.

Interestingly, I've had the experience many times in my life where if someone I am used to seeing only with glasses on removes them, they do look like a completely different person and if I didn't see them do it, I might well not recognise them. But maybe most people aren't wired that way. My daughter got contacts yesterday, and apple's face id no longer recognized her.. so maybe...

Seems much more likely they'd keep the powers themselves a secret and make all the money in their sport of choice. It was another one of my threads that got taken VERY literally. It was just meant to be a light-hearted, if in some fantastical scenario in the real world where it was like a comic book and you had to make the choice of protecting your identity, would you or not. It was more about the implications about either choice than meant to be a deconstruction of why superheroes don't make sense in the "real world". But it went there anyways.

Just an extravagant costume? (there are a lot of supervillains without superpowers). And all the Spidey's guilt trip started with a just plain burglar...

There is a reason I don't give my students my address or phone number. I'd be answering questions and helping kids write essays all through the night if I didn't set boundaries for my own emotional health. Everyone needs time to be "off duty" or the stress will catch up with you, and then you won't be useful to anyone.
