SPIDER-MAN GETS HIS BUTT WHUPPED WEEK II: MYSTERIO

Really, it’s probably more accurate to say that Spidey is getting his MIND whupped here, by the classic villain Mysterio, master of illustions.  Quentin Beck was an unsuccessful Hollywood special effects creator and an unsuccessful actor who decided to throw all that away to be an unsuccessful super villain.  Hard to imagine that, given the mind-bending traps and troubles he’s caused for the web-head over the years that Mysterio couldn’t have had a lucrative career creating shows for Cirque du Soleil or someone, but maybe the guy who decides to wear a fish bowl on his head and little placards with pictures of eyes on them on his chest just doesn’t have the design sense to make that work.

Or maybe some guys just prefer getting punched in the face a lot over the dealing with Hollywood producers.  Maybe Mysterio ain’t so crazy.

SPIDER-MAN GETS HIS BUTT WHUPPED WEEK II: THE RHINO

In this installment of Spider-Man gets his butt whupped, I am mixing two of my favorite things, you-got-your-chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter style.  The two things in this instance are Spider-Man, of course, and The World Famous Jungle Cruise of Disney theme parks fame.  Specifically, this is an urban cover version of the lost safari scene with The Rhino taking the place of the rhino and Spidey and his pals taking the place of the lost safari.

Joining the wallcrawler up the light pole are his one-time New Avengers teammates Wolverine, Luke “Power Man” Cage, and Iron Fist.  I think it would be fun if Iron Fist was just a low-rent Iron Man who could only afford an armored glove, but he’s really a kung fu super guy.  I believe Iron Fist has the distinction of being the only superhero to fight crime in his slippers and capris.  

He’s very, very secure.
