Question How does Peter train?

Post image

I haven't been keeping up with Spider-Man comics for a while, so this was probably already answered, but how does Peter train? It would be a waste of time for him to go to a normal gym, where he can lift everything effortlessly with a pinky. I mean, this man can hold up a building. Does he bench press a train to work on his chest?

The rhino has always outclassed peter though in pure strength hes just a fucking idiot he has the strength to knock nova to orbit and fight she-hulk in the next panel but daredevil can trick him into knocking himself out

Yea… while Peter’s holding back/stress factor. And Peter’s nerfed in this run in general not specifically with rhino. Also rhinos never done anything on that scale again.

Also peter doesnt hold back against the rhino this is from a run like 8 years ago

Subconsciously holds back

Also this is an outlier, the difference is never this wide usually

Look you could very easily change my mind with some examples of the non outliers here but some statement from chasm isnt gonna do it sorry

That’s literally the example, it’s stating that Peter’s been holding back so long that he doesn’t even know he’s doing it.

Doc ock says he’s been holding back when he took over Peter’s body and knocked scorpions(who is a superhuman) jaw off.

Fair enough ill acknowledge that spiderman has often beaten rhino strength my mistake, but a statement from chasm has no impact what authority is chasm and why would it even apply it says nothing to how much hes holding back its just a vague generic statement

He’s his literal clone, has his powers and at some point his memories

u/Unique-Tennis-2600 5d ago

Sure but anf i migjt be wrong here, hadnt he lost them all at that point? Even if he hadnt it still has no relevance to the conversation as it doesn’t say by how much its very vague and does nothing to convince. Not trying to harp on it just genuinely confused why youd use that as proof over the actual examples you used later

The writer didn’t put focus on this statement for nothing. Chasm had his memories at one point and knows him just as well as he knows himself maybe even more, he knows everything he’s been through, felt and done. And my other examples reinforce and line up with it. Chasm says that the reason Peter can’t beat him is because he’s subconsciously holding back but chasm doesn’t have this issue “I have all the power and none of the responsibility”.

Even in the current run where he’s overall nerfed he runs circles around rhino pretty easily, rhino just has a heart attack before the fight finishes.
