My big concern is if this information falls into the hands of someone ruthless like Kraven the Hunter, or Doc Ock it could spell the end for the webbed crusader!

Unrelated, but there's a trend for Comic covers to lie... I get that you need to motivate folks to part with their 20 cents but come on.

Fake, but such a shame it's believable

Alright so we're doing this.
