I guess it's too much to hope that Spider-Man is both strong enough and competent enough that the sedative hasn't worked and he's playing possum to see where this all leads.

I legitimately think "I didn't swallow and was faking" is going to be how this works out.

I feel like the psych lady is going to get cold feet when the goons reveal they're going to loving kill spider-man, and she'll somehow hold them off enough for the poison to wear off (at least three strips of him thinking "my strength is almost back...!") and that's how he'll save the day

Admittedly, in early Ultimate Spider-Man, almost every major Spider-Rogue supervillain either sees him unmasked or learns his secret identity fairly quickly.

So the only thing the cops had to do when trying to catch Spidey was to put some money under a proverbial basket.

So this is two stories happening at the same time in this thread where a functioning spider sense would have kept Pete from trouble. Also a functioning brain?

This is all part of Spider-Man's master plan to take down the Kingpin's organization by using his own rules against him. First they're going to kill Spider-Man, and the doctor because she's a witness, then everyone in the room who saw the doctor murdered, and then finally Kingpin has to kill himself.

Fisk could have skipped so many steps in this plan by slapping a $1000 prize on a human carpet contest.

I would say "good thing everyone in NSM's universe is as dumb as he is" but you know if I saw a couple of guys in suits carrying what was obviously a body in a carpet, I'd probably pretend I didn't see it too.

I was extremely confused about what was going on here until I realized the blonde woman in a pink suit in the first frame isn't the same person as the blonde woman in a pink suit in the second frame.

Haha I'm not sure which is worse drinking a drugged drink that was drugged right in front of him or walking into a cage put there by people Peter already knew were bad news and extorting his friends.

I love how both these stories this week have been peak NSM. It's a beautiful thing.  Skin tones and hair color they can't keep consistent, but the stupid sunglasses on that one thug are exactly the same.
