I believe I made something like this before, but I can't seem to find the thread so maybe I made it at a time before I got erased.
Here it is again: Given the opportunity, will you be able to land a punch on Spider-Man?
Before you vote for the obvious, here are the stipulations:
- You 2 have been living in a mesh of both your universes: Our and His New York City, for the past 5 years.
- You are aware of his existence but he thinks you're just some kid/guy. He saves the day and stuff as usual.
- You are only armed with what you currently have IRL, including complete comic book knowledge on the guy. This knowledge is strictly personal so no, you can't google it and show him this information.
- You CANNOT take advantage of his good guy nature, and ask him to let yourself punch him.
- There is no time limit. You can set up a trap for weeks. There is only the question of whether or not you can land that punch. Note that if you fail the first time, his spider sense might never give you a second chance.
Can you punch Spider-Man?

Q: Does punching him in his Peter Parker persona count? Get him drunk in a party and "punch" him in response to a horrible joke.

I will blackmail him and threaten to reveal his alter ego to the world unless he stands there like a tool and gets punched in the face. Hence, the good-guy loophole can be bypassed.

Yeah you did one with Batman.
The answer is a conclusive no, as I have little to no info about him, neither do I really have anything to help me.

Yeah, the other one was batman as Ai said
but I'm like entirely positive that I could punch spiderman, since his spider sense is almost always too late at alerting him to incoming danger. Also, even with the spidey sense he has to be able to see what the threat is to react to it, so if I just pull up behind him and swing I feel like he'd just be hit, he's not very good with surprise attacks.
Basically what I'm saying is 9/10 the spidey sense is completely useless

If I have a lot of money, I'll make everything slippery while I have like, some shoes that doesn't slip then punch that spider

I can't. Why? There's no good reason to do so. He didn't kill my family or anything, so why would I punch him? And wouldn't his spider sense alert him of danger?
Jun 16, 2015 3:51 PM #1373442
The question is can you, not would you or should you

No you can't. It has to be spider-man himself.

Come on, stop trying to loophole the question.

I think the spidey sense is a plot coupon; it only works when it needs to and doesn't when it's to introduce conflict. We should look into its proper definition for your interpretation of events.

I allowed money to exist in my batman question but now, in this scenario you are alone with only comic book knowledge

Even when answering a poll you are still off-tangent

I go off in a drunken rage in the bar, then attract his attention. I try to look like I can be talked out of it so that he wouldn't web me immediately. Then I go off on some drunkard spiel about how my life's gone to shit and say "Spiderman? My bro? There's something I want to say." I talk like how he's the only man who could possibly be for me then ask for a hug while I cry like a bitch, hopefully contact is sustained so that his spider-sense is stalled into uselessness. Then punch him in the gut or the face.

If I'm with comic knowledge as you suggest then I should always know where he would be, the roof tops he would land on and places he would stop to think.
It would be way to easy to camouflage myself and wait there and as he's coming in land one nasty hook to his face.
Done.

I will give him a doughnut filled with laxatives and sleeping tablets. Then I will follow the trail of shit to where he is now snoozing and I will jab him.
