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.

So very true...

Yeah, certainly someone like Wolverine shouldn't really present much of a challenge to Spiderman. (Though I did love their fight in Jim Owsley/Christopher Priest's original Spiderman versus Wolverin oneshot..)

But yeah, I mean didn't Wolvie get his ass handed to him by that pre-cog fighter in his own title. (The one that took down Taskmaster, and as Wolverine noted at the time that shouldn't really be an easy feat..)

With that in mind then, The Spider sense should be an ENORMOUS advantage to someone who already had heightened speed, agility, leaping abilities and Strength, so when you add those to his webbing and his ability to fight you standing on any surface, it isn't too much of a stretch to see most of the X-men having problems with him.

Hmm...it's funny though, seeing these pages again sometimes makes me wish to go on some of the comic battle board forums with Spidey's humiliating one panal utter disregard for Wolverine as a signature pic. Just to see how many of the more excitable fanboys get riled up by it. Though I admit that probably would be a bit too much of a trollish behaviour...But the temptation's there! ;)
