    @MidnightDStroyer 3 года назад +39

    Back in the early years of Spiderman comics, Marvel described his wall-crawling power as "molecular cohesion," which is not too far off the mark from how Kyle explained it here. However, they also pointed out that the spidersuit *had* to be made of thin & lightweight material or it would interfere with his ability. His gloves & boots are thin & lightweight enough that he can fold them up & carry them in his normal pants pockets & wouldn't leave an unsightly bulge; if Peter needed to climb a wall quickly & efficiently without donning his full suit (boots & gloves included) he would at least remove his shoes & socks first. Since he much prefers to make his own suits (yes, he also had to learn how to sew), & considering that Parker happens to be one of the world's foremost authorities on knowledge of spiders (he designed & built his own web shooters & invented his own web fluid to use with them, after all), further treating the material of his suits to work better than ordinary cloth would not be beyond feasibility of what he's capable of doing.
    His wall-crawling ability IS effective over his entire body, in that he can lean with his back against a wall, pick up his feet & cling to the wall by his back alone. He has also demonstrated the ability of full conscious control over this power, much like a well-honed reflex action in that he can pick & choose which parts of his body sticks & when they do, but he still needs to be conscious to make it work; if he's rendered unconscious he'll drop off a wall like any normal person would.
    All of this (except perhaps having a necessity to apply special treatments to the material of his spideysuits) is what Marvel comics has been publishing since the 1960's. I should know because I was buying & reading Spidey comics back then. The Mighty Marvel Bullpen already had most of this info covered, even way back then. Let that sink in...
    EXCELSIOR!

    In the Spiderman: Homecoming ATM robbery scene he (1) hangs from the ceiling using his hands and throws a bad guy using the soles of his feet (2) counters the effects of the gravity gun by sticking to the ground with one of his hands' fingertips.
    That makes me think that his sticking ability is something that he consciously controls.

      @just some guy without a mustache Fun fact, that was the power of the Ben Reilly/Superboy character (Spider-Boy) in Amalgam Comics.
      It also explained his enhanced leaping and super strength as him manipulating gravity to make things light enough for him to lift or himself light enough to go farther.

    *The "Kyle Is Wrong!" FAQ*
    1. When I calculated how many times more surface area Peter has than is needed, the numbers on screen come out to 8. I said and wrote 9 because I would doing a bunch of rounding behind the scenes. Sorry if that was confusing.
    2. It's not enough to say "maybe his hairs go through." That's why I mentioned how small the Van der Waals interactions are and how close surfaces have to be. Look at a gecko's foot. It doesn't look liked barbed hair -- it looks like a smooth pad. That's because there are thousands and thousands of hairs packed very closely together. Even if the hairs could go though a suit, the suit would get in the way more often than not, just from sheer pore density needed, and drastically reduce the VdW interactions.
    3. Another way we can canonically prove the hairs can't simply go through the suit -- and the suit has to have its own material -- is that in Spider-Man Homecoming, one of the non-Stark suits has fingerless gloves! And the AI clearly focuses on the fingertips of the Stark suit as though there is something more than hair going on.

      GamingSwine XD In Infinity War Tony Starks hoodie-suit uses nanotechnology. I'm nothing but a southern nerd, but I'm willing to bet that if he can make a suit build itself from his hoodie, while replacing broken parts, he could also incorporate the nano-tech into Spiderman's suit to allow for grip on the surface of his hands and feet.

    • @declanmorden
      @declanmorden 5 лет назад

      But what if the tiny hairs compensate for the size difference between peter and a spider, this they are long enough to stick out of the suit a bit, then the ultra tiny hairs on those regular tiny hairs would still have direct contact with what surface he’s trying to stick through. Now of course I do realize that there is still one flaw with this theory, and that gale is how this situation would only work for the hands and not the feet. Also the hairs would probably have to be retractable or something so peter wouldn’t stick to both everything he touches.

  • @keencannon81
    @keencannon81 7 лет назад +65

    I think it's kinda interesting that someone at Marvel must have thought about this. In Spiderman Homecoming there's a couple sequences featuring the suit he used before Iron Man made him one, and that one has fingerless gloves.

      Obviously he is not sticky all the time. So the spider spikes or whatever must be retractable (like cat claws), and can, as you say, protrude from his gloves when necessary.
      Luckily. If he was sticky all.the time he'd be the Amazing Trashman - covered with pieces of paper, soda bottles etc as he walked around.
      Further, if he just used nanotubes, they would be useless in a very short time due to dust on the walls he climbs. Sort of like peeling off sticky tape and trying to reapply it a few times.

    In the MCU Tony Stark gives Peter Parker the spider suit so he might use that material combined with his cool tech and a lot of gadges. It's been confirmed that the spider suit is more advanced than any other iron suit. Also, Peter Parker's homemade spider suit has fingerless gloves so he might have notice the problem with stickiness and Wan der Vaals force being blocked by tick materials.

    • @kharnthebetrayer8251
      @kharnthebetrayer8251 7 лет назад +1

      There's been tons of studies on sleep, so they know a lot about what the brain goes through to sleep. So, its possible that, in theory, someone could make a machine that would alter your brain waves to that of REM sleep, which is the part of sleep where people dream. A machine that could put you in a state of dreaming sleep is very possible. Entering another person's dream... Not so much.

    I wonder how much thought the team in charge of this movie put into that particular thing.

That kind of details is one of the many reasons why this movie is so cool.

The value this show has in explaining whether or not something is physically possible is enormous, especially for the dreamers and doers who have the brass to follow through with some of these things.

      Nerdist problem is, you're all thinking like non-fictional scientists. The very fact that Peter changed in such a short amount of time is science fiction alone never mind the fact that his powers act in an unconventional way (his muscle and bone structure should not be able to support his speed and strength. Spiders do not have a precognitive ability to detect unknown threats. His ability to stick to walls.) its science fantasy which is what makes it so great.

    • @grock1107

      Kevin McCaleb yeah there was a kind of retcon thing that made Spider-Man's powers have more of a mystic source with the whole Spider-Totem thing and all. I don't know exactly what it was but I do remember this specific line.

    • @Kdotkon
      @Kdotkon 7 лет назад

      The Dragon King yea, it was first introduced during the "mother" storyline then expounded on in the Spider-verse arch. The "mother" storyline was what they used to match his powers to the Raimi movies at the time giving him organic webbing and stronger powers and then sort of "javelins" that also protruded from his forearms before he changed after "dying" while in a showdown with Morlun.

    • @Nerdist
      @Nerdist  7 лет назад +18

      Questions like these are always hard to answer, because I have to decide what canon to include, and why, and explain it in a way that makes both scientific and comic-book sense. I try my best. So for this, we've seen Peter Parker climb with bare hands and feet. If that's the case, we know from the studies I mentioned that it can't simply be spider hair. We can prove that by making our own material that would really work! Then, knowing something like that is possible, we can go back and say that Spider-Man's skin has to be at least as sticky as this stuff. That's all real, possible, and backed up by math. But it also means that hairs can't poke through, which is why in Homecoming the suit does the work and Peter initially has fingerless gloves. I hope that makes sense! -- KH

    After doing a bit of research I’ve found that various spiders actually stick to walls using 3 different methods
    . The obvious one with the hair and the magnetism electron shit
    . Claws that grip things
    . Spider silk that’s spun out of these organs in their feet called spigots
    Bigger spiders like the tarantula have been known to do all 3 and the spider that bit peter was an engineered genetic hybrid of various spiders (depending on the version) so I believe it to be perfectly reasonable for Spider-Man to use all 3 methods
