Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #16

After reading Thunderbolts for so long, it always feels weird to see the Beetle as a villain. Especially in his old goofy armour.

Spidey follows suit and webs up the Beetle's suction cups.

With just a couple of tweaks, I could definitely see this Beetle as a horror villain. Kinda reminds me of the Mondas Cybermen.

It's weird seeing Abe as a villain, but weirder still seeing him presented as a credible villain and not just a schmuck.
Especially with that outfit.
It's a combination of goofiness between the bucket helmet, the giant poofy wings, the unflattering jumpsuit look and the elongated fingers.


Probably a good thing Peter didn't take that photo. You know the Daily Bugle could've gotten an article about it.

Joe tried that tactic on Snowflame once. It did not work out.

I was very excited to see my favorite Superman writer, Elliot S! Maggin in the credits, thinking he was perhaps going to become the regular writer. Alas, just a one-off.
