I was hoping that after the “HUGE CHANGE“, Spiderman could go through somewhat of a transformation.   No longer old and married, his new college-aged self could stop being whiny and boring, and actually use his awesome powers to have exciting adventures.

So far, it looks like I won’t get my wish.  I guess that’s what I get for over-analyzing the Spiderman comic strip.

Spiderman - 01.21.2009

So far, Spiderman has managed to knock himself out with a blast from a fire hydrant that he opened himself, and nearly get unmasked by a six-year-old.  I’m not sure that qualifies as being “smart for a superhero”, but I guess some children are easy to impress.
