If I remember the Luke Cage/Marko fight correctly, Marko was getting his butt kicked until he grabbed some power cables and electrocuted Cage.

He gave Luke Cage a tough time back in the Power Man/Iron Fist series, which I found hard to believe... even if pounding on Luke DID break his hand.Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-40133092656531744372013-02-05T17:21:14.363-06:002013-02-05T17:21:14.363-06:00Tarantula still came off better than Man-Mountain ...Tarantula still came off better than Man-Mountain Marko. In his first appearance Romita draws him as an average big guy with no powers, who gives Spidey a rough time. By next issue, I surmise Stan reminded Romita as to how really strong Spidey was. Therein, the hero lifts Marko with one hand and uses the same "I was distracted by other stuff" excuse for not having flattened the villain right off.Gene Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495562795211277146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-30391240639891972682013-02-05T11:01:50.251-06:002013-02-05T11:01:50.251-06:00Yeah, Aaron...

Why he continued to have problems in the future... maybe the Tarantula had just gotten into his head after Spidey had so many problems in their initial encounters?Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-39673049878017562522013-02-04T11:54:11.699-06:002013-02-04T11:54:11.699-06:00Like Spidey said, sometimes you have an off day, s...Like Spidey said, sometimes you have an off day, sometimes you have a great day. Sometimes the other guy is having an off day. One time Spidey beat Firelord into unconsciousness. Normally Firelord could one shot Spidey, but FL had just been in some huge cosmic powered fight and was just totally tapped out, so Spidey won.MarvelX42https://www.blogger.com/profile/00537462072422407770noreply@blogger.com
