When Spider-Man Became As Powerful As Superman

[Music] [Applause] you guys remember when Spider-Man became as powerful as Superman I don't mean Superman specifically I mean characters at his level of power so Superman Shazam Sentry Martian Manhunter and so on I'm talking about when Spider-Man became Cosmic or when the web head became Captain Universe to be exact for those of you who don't know who Captain Universe is he's the physical manifestation of the unip power but what the heck is the uni power well it's a sentient power that bonds to a chosen being at times of great need in order to become Captain Universe so basically they're one and the same anyway once the unipower chooses a host it imbus them with a variety of cosmic powers for the purpose of protecting the universal balance wa this is heavy you're telling me Marty but as for Spider-Man becoming Captain Universe it all happened during the axe avengeance storyline which was basically a story where a crap ton of Marvel villains came together to take down all of the world's Heroes the villains then fought Heroes they normally didn't fight in order to put the heroes at a greater disadvantage but luckily for Spidey in Spectacular Spider-Man issue 158 he gained the powers of Captain Universe through a freak accident at Empire University where he was helping a professor while there one of the machines in his lab overloaded causing it to explode and release unknown energies that flowed through Peter Parker's body giving him the cosmic powers of Captain Universe I will add however that he didn't take on Captain universe's Consciousness so Spider-Man didn't really know what the heck was going on he just knew he was way more powerful out of nowhere and I mean way more more powerful for example he single-handedly defeated Dragon man one of the most powerful Androids ever created in the Marvel Universe he also defeated the tri Sentinel The tric Sentinel is three Sentinels fused into one by Loki's magic some of you might still be thinking so he beat two strong robots big whoop that's not super impressive well both are crazy impressive if you know anything about Dragon man and the tric Sentinel but I'll take it up a notch Spidey also freaking punched the gry Hulk into space you heard me correctly from Earth into space this left the Hulk floating around in orbit so Spider-Man had to fly into space and bring him back down to earth after he brought the Hulk back down to earth the Hulk says if you're looking for a thanks forget it I would have saved myself somehow still it was a nice gesture so I'm going to return the favor I won't kill you this time to which Spider-Man replies kill me after doing what I just did I'm not sure I could even die so not only did he punch one of Marvel's strongest Heroes into space and then fly to space to bring him back Spider-man became so powerful that he didn't even know he could die now that still doesn't make him as powerful as Superman but I'm getting there what really demonstrates the fact that cosmic Spider-Man is on the level of Superman in Century is listing Cosmic Spider-Man's powers and abilities he has matter control and complete control over the four fundamental forces of the universe with this Spidey can rearrange matter to create anything he wants he can also manipulate and discharge any form of energy or radiation he can shoot energy beams from his hands with so much destructive force it can destroy planets he also has nearly Limitless Godlike strength along with being invulnerable his whole body is resistant to injury and can easily withstand the crushing pressure from a freaking black hole he can even withstand plunges into stars and survive supernovas unharmed then he has Univision which is a sense that allows him to see things at a subatomic level or at far distances this version of Spider-Man could also fly face through solid objects is capable of transdimensional travel can grant limited Cosmic powers to others and the list goes on for days what it really comes down to is that the unip power grants situational power meaning it grants the host whatever it needs to overcome the crisis or situation at hand making whoever is chosen to be Captain Universe and given control of the unip power one of the most powerful beings in the universe if not the most powerful but before you ask that doesn't mean cosmic Spider-Man could beat the one above all as a side note in the main 616 Universe after Spider-Man defeated the tri Sentinel he reverted back to his normal non-c Cosmic Self but on Earth 9110 the unip power stayed with Spider-Man because of his heightened sense of responsibility you know his belief that with great power comes great responsibility and all that stuff and we see this played out in the what if Spider-Man had kept his Cosmic Powers comic but all things considered I would say that cosmic Spider-Man is easily on par with characters like Superman and Sentry in fact I'd say he's actually at the upper level of that Class of Hero so just when you thought your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man couldn't get any cooler you find out once upon a time he went Cosmic and became incredibly op that's overpowered for people who are still learning comic acronyms I got you back [Applause] [Music]
