I've said it before and here it is again ... 3* Spidey has always seemed to be an attempt at the kids version of spiderman .... from silly '70s and early '80s cartoons and juveniles. Think Spidey & Friends. The type of tales in which he was cruising in the Spider Buggy and whipping up "web gliders". Yeesh. And in these stories, yes, he did employ web bandages, on himself, and his friends.

With no means to actually attack Venom, I spent a good 10-15 minutes chipping away at his health and healing myself. Does that sound like a Spider-Man fight to you? Actually, yes it does. Thinking of his fights against any opponent that can match or exceed his strength, such as the Vulture, Lizard, Sandman, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Rhino, Hulk, etc., and again from the '60s thru the mid-'80s, these fights were basically endurance fests. Spidey could only frustrate and confuse these enemies, never hurt them or knock them out, often only lucking into tricking them into disabling (and very rarely killing (oops!)) themselves. And I feel your pain ... having fought Hulk 1-on-1 in MPQ with 3* Spidey. That took awhile I always took it that "Classic" indicated that this was supposed to be that Spidey. Not a popular version for a fighting game.

Irrelevant, until 3*s start appearing in solo matches a là 4* DDQ. MPQ is primarily a team game, and Spidey & Friends was a team show, perhaps the most team-oriented presentation of Spidey ever, and therefore, at least in that respect, the most relevant to MPQ.
