The Time of Morbin’ is upon us!


It’s Jared Leto, get him!

Morbius seeks sanctuary in a seemingly abandoned building.

In actuality, the building belongs to Curt Connors and Spider-Man is using the laboratory to try and rid himself of his extra arms.

Connors doesn’t take kindly to seeing the state Spider-Man left his place in.

Spidey's saying " Oh no! " like he's singing MacArthur Park.

I think a lot about the multiverse Spider-Men that keep the extra arms. How do they maintain a secret identity?

Image inducer? Very loose shirts? Does he just lean into it?

"Oh, I guess us four armed guys all look the same to you? Next you'll be saying I look like that mutant guy. Bigot."

Mr Fantastic invents something that makes his arms invisible and intangible while wearing it.

That's actually what they did in a What if comic where Spidey never lost his extra arms.

And then, sometime down the line with Aunt May finally died of natural causes, he ditched the secret identity altogether and also became a spokesman for the physically handicapped.

Which is really weird. Having MORE arms isn't really a handicap.

He just folds them behind his back like Warren does his wings. Because when you fold something it ceases to take space.

I did have that thought too.

"I wonder if Peter gets his shirts the same place as Warren. Nah, he couldn't possibly afford that"

(I'm aware of the Silver Age handwaving about bindings but...people just would have assumed Warren had a hunchback, right?)

I know it's a habit of the medium and was at least up 'till the early 90s, but that thing characters in comics have of yelling out the later part of their inner monologue sometimes...
Apart from anything else, it must look really bizarre to other characters.
("You know we can't hear your inner thoughts, right?")

Like Morbius suddenly lunging at Peter out of nowhere yelling about "THE THIRST".


Anyway, enough expository banter.
For Spidey, it's morbin' time!
*cue 'Battle on the Big Bridge'*

Okay, so if this is their first meeting, why does Spider-Man look familiar to Mighty Morbin here?

Man, Gil Kane makes this nonsense look WAY better than it deserves to...
