I forget who, but someone asked for scans of when Spidey owned the entire X-Men team, so here you go. The cover and three pages from issue three of the Secret Wars crossover.

Then, one issue later in scans I ain't got, Wasp hands them (and Magneto) a similarly embarrassing short fight (Wolverine, I think, even calls it such) when she escapes from Magneto's base (before spending the rest of the crossover being comically inept or dead). One almost gets the impression Shooter doesn't like them much.

	It used to be officially 25 tons -- I think they retconned him down. That said, they also retconned him stupid, because since BND he keeps losing, or almost losing, fights that would never have been a problem before. Like, upgrading Hammerhead was great and all, but he's still a poor man's Wolverine, guys, give me a break! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah he seems to have lost his two strength/power upgrades that had put him up to 25 tonnes since OMD, and is back to the around 10 tonnes lifter that Stan made him back in the day. But on the bright side, at least they got rid of those damn stingers in the process! One Wolverine, (or two now I guess) is more than enough! ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Honestly, I had no problem with the organic upgrades ... except maybe the webshooters, ironically! Though I hate all the OH NOES MY WEBBING'S OUT WHATEVER SHALL I DOOOOO histrionics of Brand New Day, good lord ... and really wish Marvel didn't have such a bad habit of retconning or sweeping away any potentially interesting new status quo with the next cool thing. We had at least another couple years' worth of Weird Shamanic Crap and Public Identity Spidey stories.
