All Spider-Man’s Abilities And Powers Explained

Art Credit: kode-lgx

So we all know who the Web-Head is. Unless you are someone who has been living in a bomb shelter for 80 years and just came out and discovered the internet. In which case, hi! Welcome to YouTube. Sorry you are here…

But have you ever really sat down and analysed what the Wall-Crawler can actually do? I mean, looking at his powers and abilities beyond just a surface level?

No? Nobody has time for that?

Well guess what? I make YouTube videos for a living, so I have time for that!

So in this video, I am going to be taking a more analytical eye to the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Peter Parker’s abilities, including his physical capabilities, healing factor, wall-crawling, enhanced senses, and even the additions to his powerset his Stark-Tech gives him. I’ll also throw in some comic-based info if and when appropriate so we can get a more full view of what he MIGHT be able to do.

Also, if you are arachnophobic, maybe skip this one, as I will be talking about and showing actual spiders so...you’ve been warned.

Which one of these powers would you want to have the most?

[aaronc]

The guy can lift like around 100 times his weight, has a 6th sense, can crawl on walls, fast reflexes, ability to do what a normal athletes does but better/faster, heals very fast and is a teen who is generally smart. How can you not wanna be spiderman?!

[jeffjohnson]

In the Superior Spider-Man storyline, Doc Ock took over Spider-Man's body, and in his first fight he punched the jaw off of the lizard. He did not realize how much Spider-Man had been holding back in all of their fights in the past.

[htoneninety-nine]

I think spiderman has the most balanced skill set of any superhero. He has everything but not quite too much to call him overpowered. It's so diverse though, it makes him able to go up against opponents that at first glance seem to overmatch him.

[TidanLikida]

Out of the powers, I think the one I'd want most is the sense: knowing something is about to happen, the direction of it, and how to act to avoid or prevent it. You'd need the speed and reflexes to accompany it though.

The wall crawling would be fun.

The strength would be a little scary. As we saw in the Amazing Spider-Man movies, he smashed his alarm clock, destroyed parts of the bathroom etc. I could imagine that you'd be a little clueless about why you're so strong all of a sudden, and accidentally destroy a few things. You'd then realise that you have to be careful around everything, and have to make sure you never lose your temper. Imagine moments you may have had in the past, like slamming a door angrily. Doing that with his strength...your door is suddenly gone and it's possible some of the wall around the doorframe is gone too. The strength would scare me more than any of his other powers.

Spidermans strength is very underrated. Just because he is seen as a teenager. He held together a ferry, stopped a car at full speed, held up that airport thing in civil war, stopped cull obsidians hammer in its tracks, held up a bell tower and lifted up the rubble of an exploded building that landed right on top of him

[noelleni]

Spiderman did heal his whole body.
After his fight against morlun. He literally shred his skin and gets a new one. That healing factor is.

[carterthecartoonist]

never looked at spider-man’s powers like this

[Okay.Being.Different]

Spider-Man is an “outside the box” thinker, who is very analytical. The icing on the cake is that he’s also an expert scientist and engineer, with an iq (over 250)!

[xyz-rlpt]

Like his namesake, Spider-Man's strength and agility stand far above those of the average human, allowing him to lift nearly 25 to 30 tons and to leap and move at incredible speeds with high accuracy.

[trpoihgg]

In the comics his spider sense could sense radio frequencies. However I dont think its really brought up anymore. His spider sense gives him omni presence of his surroundings. Meaning he can sense anything hazardous or dangerous around him. However it does specifically tell him what the danger is. Just tells him where to move and evade on coming attacks.

[Dima_Sen_]

The most important power is that he can make spoilers before official release 😀

[benparrish]

Definitely one of the best powersets in all of fiction. If you were able to build the Nigh-Perfect Spider-Man Powerset from a compilation of all the Spider-Men, it'd take a Divine Powerset to stop you.

[donovandelaney]

Parker's durability and enhanced healing factor has limits. His durability can wear down. Peter had to go to a hospital once and had to use bandages to stop the bleeding.

[saranobutt]

I thought we already knew all his powers and abilities? He keeps coming up with new ones or something?

[OmegaBlue]

Saying Spider-Man isn't exactly like a real spider is true, but you have to remember Spider-Man wasn't bitten by a normal spider

[KingBobaFett]

Hey CBR in my opinion Spider-Man should’ve been given more powers and abilities. If machines get invented I’ll go back in time when Stan Lee was working on the first spider man comic and ask him to give Spider-Man these superpowers.

venom blasts: the ability to fire bursts of red energy from his hands. 

A clairvoyant spider-sense that allows him to see dangers as they happen; no matter where he is, he can close his eyes and see the event, shown to the viewers as an image outlined by a spider-web. His spider sense can also warn him in front as well. He would still have his other spider sense.

He can also project spider-like weblines from the palms of his hands or an individual finger. They naturally generated so he wouldn't need web shooters. He is able to control the direction in which his weblines move.

Spider-telepathy: allowing him to mentally communicate with spiders and ask them for assistance.

Spider bubble: allowing him to function underwater without diving gear.

enhanced strength

The ability to camouflage himself, including his clothing, to match his surroundings, making him effectively invisible.

I would even give him glider wings as an addition to his costume similar to spiderWoman’s glider wings it would allow him able to fly at will.

[oisinreilly]

One of the most iconic superheroes ever.

[Dude]

Some spiders can swing on using webs. I've seen it. They use the wind for the second web. They let go of the first once the second makes contact with a solid object.

[trexadvent]

How do you think someone like Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer would deal with Spider-Man with all these powers and abilities of his?
