>>114173899>He literally says he designed a way to neutralise his spider-sense. Tony’s a competitor for the smartest human in all of Marvel bar writers jacking off to Reed. If fucking Green Goblin found a way to bypass Spider-sense, it’d be downright insulting if Tony couldn’t do that with his eyes closed & hands tied behind his backThis was an asspull relying on the fact that Spider-sense never really made sense. It was originally radiowave based (basically he's constantly probing his surroundings with a subconscious version of Radar Sense) and other writers, like here, had it pheromone based (he can detect chemical tells from attackers). But that shit obviously conflicts with each other and with how it's often written, which is just fucking precognition (fuck's sake he's detected shit like lightning strikes or poison with it before).
It was eventually directly explained as his connection to the web of life and destiny. He's literally sensing and changing the future. It's precognition. Which means this Iron Man takedown of Peter no longer makes sense in canon, not that it ever did. They basically just invented a one off weakness for Peter based on a nonsensical explanation of his powers that never took. Because realistically Tony couldn't fucking beat Peter.
