From my understanding, Peters powers come from his connection with the spider totem ( Please correct me if I am wrong), but seeing that birds, lions, and deer are held in higher reverence in my cultures, wouldn't a Lion-man or Condor-Man have greater power? Maybe I am thinking to much into this...

You've thought about it more than Marvel ever did.

Maybe you should do what everyone else in the world does and ignore all the spider totem crap as hard as you can.

Do you know a little webcomic called Ghadar Adventures?

Don't worry about that totem shit. Marvel only cares about it when they can make an edgy event

Yeah, nobody outside of marvel gives a shit about the mystic made up junk about the web of life and the totem and any of the weird voodoo spidersruff other than “He was bitten by a spider and got stronk”

Just because a lion has more physical strength then a spider doesn't mean that spiritually it's an any stronger

The spider is a Trickster god in some cultures. He tends to be less strong but more clever, and as such, often wins out in the end.

No, his powers come from the bite of a radioactive spider.

The Totem stuff amount to whether Peter became the Totem because he was bitten or he was bitten because he was to become the totem.

The spider totem connects him not only to literal spiders, but also to a race called the weavers, which control the threads of fate, and that's why his spidey-sense can detect the future.

But who is the more cunning trickster, the spider, the crow, the coyote, the fox, or the snake?

I really hope this totem shit never appears in any adaptation and is eventually forgotten.

>Lion-man or Condor-Man
kraven and the vulture are more powerful, but spider-man is sneaky and smart and wins by being a trickster.

>spider totem
Why are you trying to start a discussion with fanfiction user? You shouldn't do that.

>in my cultures
You do know that there are other cultures right?
>BUT ME THOUGH!

The totem shit is one of the worst things to happen to Spider-Man lore. I think the only character to ever care about that nonsense was Kraven

OP here, I mean to type in many cultures. My mistake.

I think it's an interesting aspect to be going on in the background, but shouldn't be the focus of many stories.

Hey if we can stay away from totems and the spider-verse for a good while then I'm good

The totems were so fucking poorly done and so forgotten that it's not even worth considering canon.

It's like Marvel wanted what DC had with The Green, The Clear, and The Blue, but never bothered fleshing it out or making it worth caring about.

You think a African spider is a better trickster than the great Native American coyote spirit? BAHAHAHA!

Peter Parker needs to commit suicide.

the native americans also have a spider trickster spirit, iktomi

Fucker guilt tripped his family into giving him more food after he gave all the food to his wife and kids. Does that sound like a dude you want to mess with?

Never speak of spider totems again, you weirdo.

Coyote, but his arrogance leads to his downfall

God, I hate adding Multiversal significance to average city heroes. This and "Batmanium" just made me realize how stupid this shit is.
What's next? Hawkeye actually gets his powers from the "Bow God of the Bow dimension"?

Blame Morrison for starting it and all his hack copycats.

Yeah - it's Plot Induced Stupidity of the worse sort since the writers forced it on themselves and by extension the public

>Multiversal significance
Some heroes have actual multiverse significance. If you want to blame anyone, blame hacks who can't come up with their own ideas and steal Morrisons.

The spider-totem is gay just ignore it. Infact ignore any multi-dimensional spider-crossovers they're gay too.
I still like the idea to have Miles be the ambassador for the spider-totem.
