on this exciting 10th episode of comic
misconceptions we're gonna cover some
smarter bed stuff so hurry up with the
title cuz I can't wait up too excited we
don't have time for this I'm too excited
to wait spider-man is my favorite and I
have some great stuff that I want to
talk to you guys about starting with
last week's trivia question which was
Peter Parker's dentist is related to
what other significant character in the
spider-man universe robbed on YouTube
says that the dentist was a member of
the band of baddies which is a fantastic
name but he was also identified as the
brother of the burglar who killed Ben
Parker very impressive sir this question
was a little tricky for a couple reasons
not only do we not know the full name of
the dentist but we also don't know the
full name of the burglar who killed
Uncle Ben it's possible that it's
Carradine because he has a daughter
named Jessica Carradine but we're not
fully sure in spider-man 3 they said it
was Dennis Carradine
but again that's spider-man 3 I don't
think we can really take that into Canon
I mean that was the movie that gave us
this gym regardless of the burglars name
he still killed Uncle Ben but before his
tragic death he was able to pass all
those words of wisdom to Peter that
would resonate with him forever those
words of course being with great power
comes great responsibility however
almost everything I just said was wrong
Uncle Ben did not introduce this popular
catchphrase to the world in fact it was
an unnamed narrator of the story that
spoke these words into existence and it
wasn't even really those words the often
misquoted line actually reads with great
power there must also come great
responsibility it's a little more wordy
sure but if you want to be accurate
there you go that's not to undermine the
fact that Uncle Ben did influence Peter
throughout his life I mean Peters name
is Peter Benjamin Parker but it was
almost Peter Palmer and by almost I mean
it was four
one entire issue let me explain
spider-man first appeared an amazing
fantasy number 15 which I have a reprint
of right here spider-man then went on to
have his own comic amazing spider-man
and since the character was so new they
wanted to just tell the stories and not
get bogged down with those pesky details
like last names so in the first issue of
amazing spider-man Peter stolen was
written to be Peter Palmer it was
quickly fixed after that but there is an
interesting allusion to it quite
recently in superior spider-man number 9
Doc Ock and Peter Parker were fighting
for control over their shared brain when
Doc Ock oh you don't know this story
it's pretty simple really
all you need to know is that Doc Ock was
on his deathbed so we sent a tiny robot
to swap him and spider-man's Minds out
so that Doc Ock was in spider-man's body
and Peter Parker was in Doc Ock dying
body now Doc Ock is claiming to be on
the side of good as he fights as the
superior spider-man but there is a
little tiny bit of Peter still left in
the brain when Doc Ock finds out he goes
inside of his brain to fight the
residual bits of Peter Parker that are
left over he then commences a Mindwipe
to get rid of all of the memories of
Peter Parker and a desperate spider-man
tries to hold on to the only memories
that he knows including his own name
which he tries to shout out for himself
so that he won't forget it but he ends
up shouting Peter Palmer and it all
connects back but like I said that
mistake was made back in the early days
of that character it's not like they
would forget the name spider-man with a
right well actually just two issues
after they call him Peter Palmer Doc Ock
refers to him as not spider-man but
Superman I don't even have to say to
that one but it's not the name that
makes him the hero it's the tragedies
the writers put them through and one of
the most tragic things to ever happen to
spider-man I think is when his first
love Gwen Stacy dies in amazing
spider-man 1
twenty-one green goblin throws her off a
bridge and spider-man shoots his webs
out to try and catch her and then
tragedy strikes the word snap appears
right by her neck and by the time
Spiderman pulls her up
gwen stacy is dead but what caused her
to die i mean by first glance you might
think that it was whiplash from
spider-man's web catching her so
suddenly hence the snap right by her
neck but Green Goblin goes on to say
that it wasn't the web's that killed her
it was the shock of the fall and that
she actually died before spider-man
could do anything and in some prints the
word snap is taken completely out of the
picture so what is the definitive cause
behind Gwen Stacy's death well in
amazing spider-man 125 in a letter
section in the back of the book lies the
definitive truth the letter addressing
the cause of Gwen Stacy's death clearly
states and I quote it saddens us to have
to say that the whiplash effect she
underwent when Spidey's webbing stopped
her so suddenly was in fact what killed
her so the mystery is over and it might
be a little tough to swallow for some of
us but you know it's never tough to
swallow is Aunt May's wheat cakes but
you can find the recipe to and untold
tales of spider-man from 1996 props to
my friend and fan of the show Killian
for pointing me to this I found way too
much amusement from it probably is much
enjoyment to spider-man gets from
swinging around the city going
flippity-flip thwip which actually
Marvel owns the word thwip so I'm
probably gonna get sued now but not
before we move on to the weekly trivia
challenge
so we like to encourage you guys to
suggest topics for future episodes and
boy do we have a lot of them and I do
want to say that we are getting to them
but we have a lot to go through first
but that being said I did promise
someone that this episode here was going
to be about a specific character and it
wasn't so I feel a little bad and I'm
going to make it known to you right now
to the entire world that next week we'll
be tackling this character Doctor
Strange is not who we'll be talking
about I'm sure we'll get to him later
eventually but he is known as the
sorcerer supreme of Earth but there is a
scientific counterpart to that known of
course as the scientists supreme so this
week's trivia challenge is what Marvel
character is Earth's scientist supreme I
would also like to state that these
trivia challenges are supposed to be a
test of your knowledge not a test of
your search engine skills so honor
system guys and about prizes I really do
want to send stuff to you guys for
getting these right but the problem is I
don't have any money to ship anything to
you guys I mean I literally have three
dollars to my name so for now the prize
will be meaningless dirt points that
aren't redeemable for anything and could
possibly cause swelling if not treated
properly in which case I would see a
doctor if swelling persists for more
than 24 hours either way gets started on
this week's trivia challenge alone
you'll scamp
and with that the 10th episode of comic
misconceptions is about to come to a
close here's to another 10 more but
