Since time immemorial, mankind has wondered not only at Spider-
Man's great agility, but also at his ability achieve large average velocities
as he traverses the cavern city of Manhattan. How does he achieve these
speeds merely by swinging by a thread? What is the nature of the la-
ment from which he swings, and to what degree does it have an eect on
his average horizontal velocity? We begin this paper with a calculation
demonstrating that if Spider-Man's lament has a constant length, the
average horizontal velocity is only comparable to that of a person on a
bicycle (or alternatively, an automobile in a school zone).

added bonus; Gwen stacy's death
 
So Gwen Stacy's death wasn't his fault?

World view, shattered.
 
Wonder how Ryan North contributed to this article, notable as how it's hosted on his (Dinosaur Comics') domain and his name is in the credits.

Excellent stuff.

Note that superman gets the theistic capitalized "He" pronoun
 
Yeah but it's only right if his webs are the same length and he's swinging in arcs.

Spider man pulls himself through the air, not swinging like tarzan.
 
I don't think the motion of his arms, or even the swing of his entire mass, would make much difference in relation to the radii of his typical building-swinging webs.

The better explanation is "It's a freaking comic book" but you know
 
This is a impressive writeup. I wholeheartedly approve.
 
Lol, I love stuff like this. I would love to do something like this for my graduation paper or something. :p
 
he can also wind the web back into his arms which adds to the potential energy of each swing....right?
 
First of all, I didn't think it wound back into his arms, he just pulled on it, and second, yeah, he'd be starting the next swing from higher than the first, but he might end up slower than he started if he doesn't do it right.
 
Yes he could god damn pull it back into the shooter, bitches. He's god damn Spiderman. It all depends which rendition or whatever, I guess.

Stan Lee was not ****ing around. He wouldn't make Spiderman - a ****ing super-hero - just shoot cob-webs at people. He manages to shoot some super-light string over one thousand feet, somehow. When I throw some fishing line, that shit just goes about 9 feet - because I'M NOT A SUPER HERO, I am a weak weak person, and so I became evil. My entire life has been dedicated to destroying Spider-man, for some reason.

I'm just kidding; I don't really know anything about Spider-man. But if you want to ask me about Tropical Fish - I'm your guy.
