It's a rare thing for a writer to acknowledge the damage a beating like that would actually do.
The only time that I can remember a writer calling back to a hero utterly stomping a villain was when Peter David had Spider-Man beat three kinds of hell out of the "Sin-Eater" (the guy had it coming) and when the guy comes back, he's lost hearing in one ear, had to walk with a cane and stuttered.
Although, there was another Spider-Man fight in the original Secret Wars were he utterly humiliated Titania to the point where she was scared of facing him. Which was kind of funny because she would operate out of New York.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
