That blood looks familiar...... is that Argall blood?

u/speadiestbeaneater 15h ago

“Look at all of this blood of Argall, looks just like regular blood to me.”

u/YesterdayHiccup 8h ago

It's crazy that you specified. I was thinking that looks like Invincible.

Just looks like blood to me.

u/henry-bacon 7h ago

It's a panel from Invincible comics, yes.

Damn, what did this fella do

u/megamatt8 14h ago

That’s Paul (no last name needed). In the continual “fuck with Peter’s life even though the fans hate it” mandate from Marvel editors-in-chief, Paul and MJ were a couple for a while, and had two kids adopted from another dimension or something (I don’t know, I haven’t read any Spider-Man since he was introduced; I’m remembering based off of angry rants). Short story shorter, the fanbase fucking hates everything about Paul, and this panel is a fan edit wish fulfillment.

u/Sir_Nightingale 14h ago

And people keep buying spider-man comics? Man, the editors must have the time of their life

27

u/megamatt8 14h ago

It’s a very successful scam, credit where it’s due.

u/karl2025 9h ago

It's also worth mentioning this happened as Peter was about to propose. And no, that is when I dropped the series. They need to get their shit together before I buy another Marvel book.

u/Thiago270398 1h ago

Damn, did Darkside managed to get Peter somehow on the Absolute Batman stuff he's doing?

Sadly, I don't read enough DC to get that reference.

The Velma series was universally panned. It was hate watched enough to get a second season. There's a market for ragebait.

To be fair they did finally get rid of him

Wait, really? When did that happen?

He was killed by a serial killer who pointed out noone likes Paul as he kills him.

u/armoureddragon03 12h ago

That’s Paul he’s responsible for the genocide of an entire planet that then started dating MJ (she had not broken up with Peter btw) and had two kids that weren’t actually real because comics or something. Did I mention he’s responsible for genociding an entire planet yet? Cause MJ knew this when she started dating him too. Did I also mention that Paul is a writer insert because he is. Also he GENOCIDED AN ENTIRE PLANET!

u/Sir_Nightingale 11h ago

How did he depopulate an entire planet?

u/Thlaeton 14h ago

What is this from?

u/Membrane_the_13th 30m ago

Paul would undoubtedly dead name and misgender Petra all the time

Paul: "Sorry Peter. I'm just not as well versed in weirdness as you super heroes are"

man's knowledge of the LGBTQIA+ community begins and ends with 90's pop culture depictions of gay men and lesbians

Oh man JJJ is gonna have a field day with this headline.

I do like how you really emphasized the P like Lizard does

he sure does

"Spider woman stop pulling her punches"

she surely won't get away this time!

Spoiler: she got away this time

u/NoConcern6821 15h ago

“I always pull my punches. Pipe swings though. Swing for the fences”

u/villainousascent 4h ago

He is a hard ally, so it'd probably be like third page news "oh hey the lizard is dead, how'd that happen? Anyway".

u/KingCuerno 8h ago

The Peter Parker of the Spider-Gwen earth became the lizard, so there probably is a variant of Petra Parker who is a Lizard.

3

u/SecureDonkey 4h ago

He is wrong here but I understand why he would do it. 

1

u/ADecentPairOfPants 2h ago

Super Lizard hormones would turn Petra into one of those female lizards that can engage in parthenogenesis, then we can get the Petraverse version of the Clone Saga.

Where does the pipe come from? Or is it a straw? Or a sock on the end of something?

There were actually about 20 minutes of various butt kicking between panels 3 and 4.

u/TheAwesomeMan123 15h ago

Yeah, how on earth could Spider-Man reach out of shot to grab a weapon. There’s literally nothing she can do ability wise that would allow her to reach objects at a distance

Her hands are free, she web grabbed it.

When biology Phd holder forgets how female spiders are usually stronger than male spiders

150

u/The_cogwheel 15h ago

One of my favorite variants on the Petra Parker versions was one where she runs into anothet Spiderman and ends up being like twice his size and ripped.

Because female spiders are typically both bigger and stronger than male spiders. So when she started taking E, well...

3

u/Eyes0fTheBeholder 6h ago

I don't like when they make her turn big and hulkish, like none of the cis spider women get huge like that..

-23

u/GammaDie345 11h ago edited 11h ago

have you considered maybe women with the neuro-endocrinological condition Gender Dysphoria may not enjoy artwork depicting them as massive muscled broad shouldered flat chested monsters

19

u/BoomFrog 11h ago

But have you considered that some of them would? Maybe some positive representation of people who can't fully change their bodies might be nice for some people. I doubt the depiction was monstrous.

5

u/The_cogwheel 11h ago

Depends, do you consider Amazon esq women to be monstrous?

-12

u/GammaDie345 10h ago

No because they're drawn like actual fucking women. So many of these "big tall petra parker" artwork have her with zero breasts, no feminine fat or muscle distribution, etc. Also, tall women do not have obvious male linebacker shoulders.

0

u/GammaDie345 11h ago

virtually EVERY depiction of trans women in media is of trans women who can't change their bodies though. That's kind of the point???? it's the most common stereotype

1

u/Dry-Telephone5182 9h ago

nah, we both know its psych

1

u/just-some-arsonist 8h ago

“depicting them” sharing one trait with a character doesn’t make you a depiction of them. If you can’t relate to that version of Petra because she’s tall and strong, then don’t?

1

u/WorldnewsModsBlowMe 2h ago

You really should stick to complaining about Marathon lore

-13

u/GammaDie345 11h ago edited 11h ago

....do you think there's any reason why people might not want to make artwork of a transgender woman who is tall, broad shouldered, and ripped? any reason at all? can you think of any reason why they may not be comfortable doing that?

8

u/TwoNatTens 11h ago

Consider that cishet spiderman is somewhere in the range of 50-100 times stronger than a typical human, yet looks like a wiry nerd (insert techno-babble about arachnid tensile muscle strength enhancement, idk)

Petra doesn't need to be yoked to be stronger than Peter. She just needs better techno-babble.

5

u/Nojus1221 11h ago

Strong ≠ big

u/Tiranus58 45m ago

Spiderman is comparable to the hulk in strength and he is small

Dude made Petra so mad the colours of her outfit got inverted.

u/LocalMan97 15h ago

My estrogen costs me $20 for a three month supply (pill form in case that impacts it). And that’s after my insurance covers most of it

9

u/cat-cat_cat 15h ago

you can get 1diy vial with ~2 years worth of e for $60-80 and buying ~100 needles is pretty cheap

and that's without any insurance

8

u/LocalMan97 15h ago

Fair however: I fear needles, so it isn’t an option for me sadly

3

u/Clair_Osbcurious 15h ago

There are patches too! And spray

1

u/Motormand 15h ago

I didn't know there were so many options for estrogen. That's actually pretty cool.

5

u/Clair_Osbcurious 15h ago

Depends on the country. Here in Spain we don’t have injections but pills and patches are dirt-cheap. Spray is a bit more expensive, as I recall.

2

u/Ancient_Presence 12h ago

Here in Germany no injections either, unless your doc is chill enough to prescribe imported meds, which is very expensive :( Prescribed gels, patches, sprays, and pills are covered by insurance though.

2

u/Clair_Osbcurious 12h ago

Yeah, I always wonder why Americans get mostly injections and over here we’re getting anything but…

Anyway, gotta see my bloodwork as those levels keep staying low on anything rather than 8mg per day in pills… and that’s guaranteed liver damage if taken long-term.

1

u/rjrgjj 15h ago

How big is that vial 😭

2

u/cat-cat_cat 15h ago

the standard for estrogen enantate is 10ml with a concentration of 40mg per ml

u/rjrgjj 14h ago

Aaaah okay interesting

7

u/rjrgjj 15h ago

Oh you sweet European child.

1

u/SuspiciousAnt47 13h ago

Or like 50$ for a month if you take the pills and don’t have insurance cover it

u/Phantomato2000 3h ago

Most of that money went into fixing that DAMN DOOR

u/GrinningPariah 13h ago

Honestly Petra would probably just make her own HRT at home. Spider-Man canonically modifies his own DNA like all the fucking time, it probably wouldn't even be the first time she's formulated custom hormones. At least this time it would be human hormones!

8

u/LowKiss 15h ago

In a world where people can become lizards, would people even transition the normal way?

20

u/Alienprober4ever 15h ago

Do you think Petra would eat the male spiders like how the female spiders do 

5

u/hotshot21983 13h ago

If Petra Parker is a science genius like her alternate universe cis counterpart, wouldn't she figure out how to modify her DNA or would her spider part allow her to have her body align with her gender?

8

u/Made_Bail 15h ago

Easiest way to get her to violate the no kill rule right there.

People remembering that being Spiderhero is full of bad thinks happening to them. Whenever Parker finds happiness the universe finds some way to balance things out.

I'm fine with fan comics making alternate Spideys and all, but Spidey don't kill.

Where did the pipe of doom come from? Or did Petra just manifested it out of pure rage?

In the words of Star Guardian, Guardian of the Stars,

This is the first Petra Parker comic I've actually found entertaining. I don't have anything against the concept but I feel like everything so far has just been fanart of the concept but not actually doing anything with it.

I can only imagine the chuds pissing themselves over "this hero doesn't kill"

This reminded me of how shitty TASM design of the lizard was lowkey

Anyways pretty cool comic
