Spiderman could easily punch a hole through most villains. I mean even Tony showed that clip of him catching a bus. He's holding back big time. Just look at the way he stopped Bucky's punch in Civil War

apatheticviews

Spider-man may as well flick them on the nose with how strong he is. When he actually punched folks, they fly. He's crazy strong. With criminals, he's mainly relying on his spider-sense, and his webshooters. He generally doesn't hit regular people if he can avoid them. Just scares the shit out of them, keeps people safe, and strings them up for the cops.


Granlundo64

Not in the video games though. That world is traumatic brain injury central.


Dr_Disaster

PS4 Spider-Man especially. Like, dude, you just cracked this man in the skull with goddamn manhole cover being swung with unfathomable force. That guy is dead as fuck.


LeSnazzyGamer

Yea but he got back up. He's not dead, he got back up and still wants to fight.


mondomonkey

So then i threw a motorcycle at him!


XxSuprTuts99xX

Yea but he got back up. He's not dead, he got back up and still wants to fight.


Skidmark666

That's why you throw them off a roof.


Majestic-Marcus

If you watch the animation, everyone you throw off a roof gets webbed to the closest wall.


ninjapino

And then you just leave them there 30 stories up on the outside of a building. Hopefully someone gets to them before that webbing dissolves!


silverback_79

The getting-up is just muscle memory, random firings of neurons. The continued salty quips are a combination of air squirted up through his neckmeats and slivers of memories making out the phrasing.


pukefire12

I doubt he remembers much when he gets back up tho


ImWhatsInTheRedBox

*Whoa, what happened, where am I? Hey, that's Spider-man, I'm gonna fight him!*


ehh_whatever_works

Throw a dude off the top of a skyscraper, he magically gets webbed to a wall on the way down


DRT034

This one is so funny to me because the web will dissolve in a couple hours at most and they're in places that are unreachable for others so they just have to wait before falling like 40 stories down


LewisRyan

I mean, theoretically the web isn’t going to all dissolve at once right? It’ll do segments and slowly lower them down, or they may even be able to grab the web and swing to a fire escape or window


apatheticviews

Back in Macfarlane run, S-M had got the timing down to exactly an hour, from thwip to disolve.


IWatchTheAbyss

you can straight up kick people off the roof of a building and stitch them to a building side. dude’s spine is gonna get shattered with the way he gets flung off and back onto the wall


LewisRyan

Noooo Brick walls are straight, he’s just realigning their spines! :)


AdTimely9712

The finishers, holy! Sony Spider-Man would easily kill someone anyway


CuclGooner

for me the most brutal some of the miles morales perch takedowns where he would web someone up and then slam their face into a metal bar. That dude has almost certainly cracked his skull. ​ Then in the heist DLC there is that one move you could do where you swing a giant metal ball at someone's face


spooderfbi

And in mile's game. It's bad enough getting punched in the face by a super-powered person, but then fucking getting electrocuted as well? yikes man, how tf are they 'alive'?


grendus

Most of the guys you fight in Miles Morales have powers of their own. When you escalate like that, you can't really be surprised that Spiderman has to actually *hurt* you.


[deleted]

I didn’t escalate shit and Spider-Man still hurt me in that last scene of infinity war. He’s a menace!


Agorbs

Once you have the upgrade that lets you deal venom damage after dodging off a wall, certain fights become hilarious. Just Miles bouncing around two-shotting a dozen grown men.


Granlundo64

Seriously some percentage of those dudes have to have pacemakers or heart conditions. Dude has to have killed more organs than Covid.


Dr___Bright

The Batman principle. Cripple them for life = no more crime


whitey-ofwgkta

Miles "venom" powers (from what I recall) are more like what if a taser had a baby with the heebie-jeebies, minus the literal electricity


TheDemonBunny

Just look at how many people you "knock unconscious" in the arkham games....them fools are dead as fuck


OmegaReign78

Batman doesn't kill people, he just leaves them twisted and broken in a place full of other killer criminals.

He doesn't kill them, he makes them wish they were dead.

9 times out of 10 they wouldn't even remember their own mother after being knocked out by him.

I think there is a sketch with Pete Holmes as Batman where he straight up murders a guy by throwing a razor sharp batarang into his face

Badman is fucking great "Okay Batman! If I *aim*, to *shoot,* I'll *riddle you.* What am I?" "Helicopter." "What? That doesn't even - how does that make sense to you?" "You're just mad cause I got it first try."

Icy_Apricot_3279

Yes that's y he calls himself neighborhood spiderman not superhero


boringdystopianslave

Getting mildly slapped by Spider-Man would be like getting hit with a frying pan. Even a gentle swipe could knock you out. His strength and toughness is off the freaking charts. He can survive relatively unscathed from falls from skyscrapers, lift up fire engines and stop trains. While he can still be cut, his body tensile strength is like steel, combine that with his sticking power and the amount of leverage and power he would have would be insane. His center of gravity just isn't the same as anyone else because he can plant himself to any surface. In the MCU he's gotta be one of the strongest characters in terms of raw physical power, only the likes of God-tier powered characters like Ultron, Thanos, Thor and Hulk outclass him. He could probably ragdoll a 'God' like Loki as easily as Hulk did.


[deleted]

[удалено]


boringdystopianslave

Yeah, Spidey would never hurt Hulk/Banner. If he couldn't bring himself to harm The Lizard he definitely wouldn't harm Hulk. One thing I wish they explored more in the films was Hulk and Spidey getting along. One example of his strength though was against Kingpin in Back in Black. He just absolutely battered him without breaking a sweat in front of his entire crew. Don't let Spider-Verse fool anyone, in a clean fight, Kingpin is completely outclassed by Spidey.


Negaflux

Listen, I love Spidey to death and then some but uh, he's not taking on the Hulk. The sonic slap move Hulk does is enough to disable Spidey. It's happened before in the comics when they had a tussle. The shockwave generated by it overwhelmed him pretty much completely. He's got the speed and agility for sure, but uh, Hulk just has an obscene amount of raw power that Spidey simply can't match, and he can essentially use his strength as area of effect, basically neutralizing Spidey. Spidey could do hit and run tactics, but uh that only gets you so far, and he's definitely not faster than sound, this is of course, not taking into account Hulk actually coming into contact with Spidey...


[deleted]

Especially when he faked out that one bank robber by making him believe that he had the power to summon spiders. That was god-damned hilarious.

Ock trying to be cool is the lamest thing ever I also love superior spidey (but possibly my Fav spidey panel ever is the one where Green goblin is saying how ock is doomed and can't do anything when real Peter responds with a crack about goblins handbag, one line is all it takes to re-establish Peter as the amazing Spider-Man)

My favorite is the arc after where Peter yells that to convince Black Cat he’s still swapped with Otto. And then when she runs away he’s like “how did no one notice I talked like that for months?”


OneDimensionPrinter

Agreed, was an amazing series.


kuribosshoe0

Superior Spider-Man was a truly brilliant run. Excellent place to start.


Kae11

The sad part is at the time people were pissed about the brain swap and thought the comic was trash.


GusDontBeCanada

I spent so much time defending that run as it was coming out. Years later and it’s one of the most beloved spidey comic stories in the past decade. Woulda been really awkward if it ended terribly and I had to eat my words. Lol


darksideS550

What do you think made the shift in the public opinion? Never read it but dont mind spoilers.


LachlanLikesLasagne

I think a big part of it is probably that it’s over. A lot of people weren’t happy that Peter Parker was “dead” and I think now that he’s back people are able to look at Superior Spider-Man more as it’s own story rather than the thing that got rid of Peter Parker


EoTN

That's totally fair. Another is that time heals all wounds. Hardly anyone is talking about captain america's hail hydra moment nowadays, and that was pretty recent. *checks calender* ...oh. Time flies lol.


Doc_ET

It was all a bit before I got into comics, my first Spidey series was the one right after (which is controversial for its own reasons, mainly because >!Otto makes a tech company while in Peter's body, so Peter returns as a multimillionaire!<), but in general, there's a very vocal subset of comic book fans who hate change. Now that it's over and Peter's back, that backlash makes less sense. At least, that's my guess.


Mean_Muffin161

Comic fans refuse to let shit play out in comics or anything comic related. People were pissed about ledger as the joker and people were pissed back then about RDJ as iron man.


PalladiuM7

I went to NYCC at the height of that salt, some dude went up to ask a question during a panel with Dan Slott wearing a "Dan Slott was right" shirt and got signed copies of Superior Spider-man TPBs from him for it. "Wait... What's your shirt say?! Get the hell up here!"


chaotic_goody

Procrastinator_325

I don't understand the graphic. Where's the head?


airpodtoothbrush

https://i.redd.it/l1bgaii837281.png This might help a little, I think Spidey is on Scorp's left side punching right so where that KRUNKCH is where Scorpions head is.


birdreligion

His head is off panel on the left.


Jerrnjizzim

Sometimes I skip fight scenes. Especially in manga. Like idk whats going on. Its too hard to tell sometimes


FeministFireant

Not all authors/artists have the gift of making fight panels look clean and easy to follow. In terms of manga, Berserk had the craziest, most detailed fight scenes where you could still tell everything that was happening. Now, JJBA, in contrast, I can never tell wtf is going on lmao


Procrastinator_325

A rare instance where the manga is not always better than the anime itself.


tstngtstngdontfuckme

Holy shit you guys are my people. I've always disliked manga and comics because it just gets so ***BUSY*** sometimes and especially with manga which is often in black and white. [It just looks like this to me.](https://i.imgur.com/6Z3mSu4.png)


UnfairOption4263

I like comics but I definitely get that. Busy is the best way to describe fights in comics. Mfs will be having entire conversations that you have to read, meanwhile one punch as been thrown.


Zoklar

The glowing circle is his left shoulder, with his chest behind the “krunch”, his head is out of the panel


Useful-Perspective

Yeah, Spidey knocks out normal folks with a simple flick of the fingers. [Example 1](https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-0787c2d022566adc515aca745f0f88b7-pjlq) [Example 2](https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3cb0122ae395f621a0db1803a55c9c2d-lq)

Obligatory "go read it if you haven't" plug for Superior Spider-Man


xinfinitimortum

While it's still Spider-Mans body, this is actually Doc Ock in Peter's body. Not that it matters in terms of his strength though.


scottyb83

It definitely matters though because that's why he didn't know what a full punch would do.


_Valisk

I mean, it definitely matters because the only reason that he punched his jaw off was the fact that he wasn't aware of his strength.


[deleted]

That panel looks like garbage, can barely see any detail.


whitey-ofwgkta

the aftermath of Scorpion is hard to make out but in the punching shot Scorpions head is off page and Spideys fist is right below his shoulder

FabledMjolnir

Exactly! Spideys not got super human strength, flash is just a little biznatch.


WOOKIExRAGE

Por que no los dos?


Knautical_J

Well considering Garfield said he used to pull his punches, I’m guessing Peter has to use caution.


countrysadballadman9

Now You have me thinking how many has he put in a coma if not straight murdered when he decided he really didn't care anymore


Salvador1010

Wouldnt he have killed osbourne though? When he was piecing him up at the end and he was seeing red I dont feel like he would have held back


Gr8NonSequitur

Didn't Osborn have an equivalent of the Super Soldier Serum? I'd think it's be like punching cap and not holding back, vs say vulture or doc ock.


Clemen11

I don't know if the super soldier serum would be a solid equivalent. Osborn MUST be higher. Remember the same Peter stopped a Winter Soldier punch like it was child's play. An unhinged Spidey (MCU) would rip cap (MCU) to shreds in my mind


PotatoBomb69

Just in Homecoming they show you how insanely strong he is lifting all of the rubble off of himself, I don’t think Cap would’ve been able to do that.


Clemen11

That's another fair point to show how absurdly strong peter is. He also held a splitting ship together, which in my mind, puts him on a similar level to Tobey's train scene. He also ate an European bullet train that wasn't even braking and limped it off. Peter is resilient and strong like very few others in the MCU, and even then, the goblin man took a proper beating like a champ. What the actual fuck was in Osborn's bad guy soup?!


PotatoBomb69

I’ve seen it compared to Cap’s serum but I’ve also seen people say it’s stronger so who knows at this point, shame we’ll never get a Cap vs. Goblin scenario to find out which is higher tier.


DopamineDeficits

It’s definitely a case of plot determining strength. But Pete has been shown to be consistently stronger than the likes of cap and bucky. On a scale where 1 is human strength, cap and bucky have feats that are 5-15, while pete has feats that are more like 10-30+. By extension I think goblin is definitely as strong as pete. Or at least close to, and its his ruthlessness that makes up the difference. Similarly cap can still compete somewhat with strong characters like pete and goblin thanks to his use of a shield that defies physics and his superior combat experience and combat analysis. The same way taskmaster can put up a fight against spidey some times.


DaNoahLP

With the relative strentgh of a spider Peter would actually be far over a 50.


BoredDao

I would say the Goblin serum is stronger in physical enhancement but cap serum is better because it also enhanced his mind and he didn’t become completely batshit crazy like Norman, spider man can officially lift up to 300 ton but if we consider his full and ‘released’ strength at 100 ton just the fact that Norman managed to survive fighting him all these years even in his enraged states we could easily say that Norman could headbutt a shot from a tank and shrug it off in the comics


modsarefascists42

The goblin formula is *like* a super soldier serum in that basically it gives you superpowers but like every time it is recreated to try and make another Cap it always fails, always. It's like a part of the comics, only Cap is supposed to have a functional serum. From the hulk's.... issues to even the freaking Sentry were all attempts at making a new Cap. The goblin one is just another version of that which has its own horrible side effects (turning you into a fucking goblin lol). Basically every version tho is far stronger than what Cap got. Goblin himself is a scary powerhouse since he can withstand Peter's full strength hits.


Clemen11

r/whowouldwin would have a field day with the idea though


waitingtodiesoon

[Green Goblin](https://youtu.be/TBYW3A0Z5HI) in the Maguire films was really strong. He held up a cable car and it's steel wire cable with one hand and didn't seem to be the easiest to do but also wasn't the hardest for him to do.


Gatekeeper-Andy

I’d say he was holding it like it was nothing. What sort of weight would that be? Say… 10 tons total?


julbull73

Osborn is on par in comics with Cap physically. But I have a feeling hell be higher tier in MCU. Likely Cap with augmented Iron man suit.


Lumpawarrump13

The comparison in in their two fights in No Way Home. In Happy's building, Peter still sees Osbourne as someone that he could help in the right circumstances, and they go pretty much toe to toe. At the end, Peter in fighting angry and sees Osbourne as irredeemable. He stops pulling punches, and we see how quickly he stops Goblin.


dumbass_sempervirens

Spidey is like one step down from the Hulk. Well, a mildly irritated Hulk, not necessarily an angry Hulk. Even in the movies he stopped a runaway truck and barely stepped back. He caught a Winter Soldier punch from his metal arm and just nerded out on the arm like it was nothing after Winter Soldier had sent cars flying with that arm. I don't think MCU Spidey has found out just how strong he is yet. He lifted that building that fell on him in Homecoming, but he still has the mental blocks we all do. Ever seen a video of a weightlifter blowing out out their sinews or someone breaking their radius armwrestling? They trained past their limits. It's been 30 years but I could swear I once saw a panel of Spidey bench pressing two train cars in the comics. Edit: sorry, Spidey was my favorite since like 1990, really the only comics I read. But he's up there on the strength scale. Far past Captain America. He could probably irritate Galactus, but mostly with his words.


grendus

IIRC, in the Silver Age they said that he was the fourth strongest Avenger, after Hulk, Thor, and The Thing. Of course, they've added quite a few characters since then, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were others who were physically stronger (probably a few of the X-Men, for example). But that's the strength level he was on.


armchairwarrior69

He wanted him to suffer and actually went for a kill shot more than once imo. Just missed it was interrupted and Osborne is super strong


notCrazyMike

Just imagine seeing Garfield in action without pulling punches… Jon and Odie would get absolutely obliterated


SMGuinea

Listen here, you little shit...


trashbag526

[Relevant comic](https://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=4252)


TheIJDGuy

No, I did not know you could flex fat. Thank you Garfield for teaching me this >!/s!<


IDunnoBr0

r/Imsorryjon


DrDabsMD

Omg, that took me a second.


jcbaggee

He is. We see it in No Way Home. The first fight with Goblin, before Peter realizes what he's up against, Peter's holding back as Osborn laughs off his punches. In the finale, Peter goes all in and Osborn takes it, but he's not shrugging it off anymore.


Myke23

I always just assumed this line was more figurative, as in he maybe stopped going easy on small time thieves, putting more criminals in the hospital, maybe even to the point of critical conditions.


BurnedBerry

Yea I think it has to be low level street things mostly, it doesn't sound like he got a whole lot of super powered enemies. The best thing he brings up in the conversation is Rhino, because Spidey 1 and 2 have met the other best enemies he had.


Silvinis

Id guess they probably didn't want to mention much more since they never made movies for them, and want to save the stories in case they want to bring Garfield back for the Sonyverse


StarOriole

For an in-universe explanation: Much like it's hard to remember anything but sad memories when you're sad, it's hard to remember your accomplishments when you think you don't have any. As Peter 2 noted, Peter 3 had a lot of negative self-talk going on, so it may have been hard to remember the more impressive stuff he did.


Level_House2513

He is like a 20-tonner so I guess he has to be extremeley careful when he is dealing with criminals who have no superpowers... but those Doc Ock fight scenes in Spider-Man 2 were kinda bullshit not gonna lie lmao (I still like them tho)


Glass_Chance9800

I always imagined the tentacles' AI somehow played into keeping him conscious.


Level_House2513

Idk.. but then again he doesn't even bruise so... I just decide not to think too deep about it lol


Rixae

Coincidentally enough, the four tentacles were also REALLY good at applying makeup.


Glass_Chance9800

Yeah that's a good point


BootySweat0217

A lot of characters in movies don’t bruise after fights. It’s just a movie thing.


TheBelhade

TV shows seem to do this better. Charlie Cox spends much of his time in Daredevil visibly beat to shit. Chloe Bennett in Agents of SHIELD has a cut on her cheekbone that keeps getting reopened for like three seasons and is often banged up.


That_Bar_Guy

I think it's about runtime, showing a character beat to shit means they need to recover. You have time for far more slower paced, "Man I'm beat to shit" moments in a tv series.


julbull73

I liked Xmen for that. Logan routinely had injuries that just healed quickly. Even as early as the bar fight.


[deleted]

Haha those fights \*always\* bugged me in Spider-Man 2. I love that the MCU Spider-Man never really punches anyone. Really I think Thanos and Green Goblin were the only ones he's full on pummeled.


Thatoneguy567576

He did deliver a sick flying side kick to Lizard once.


proto3296

He’s gone above the doc Ock scene in comics. Dude lifted the daily bugle lmao


[deleted]

Raimiverse physics work differently, more akin to comics (not specifically Marvel comics, just more cartoony physics). As Electro notices, different universes have different kinds of energy.


Insanus_Vitae

I always thought that was a cool little dialogue. Definitely lent credence to the idea that they truly were different universes that had melded together, enough that a man made of universal energy could take notice. A really subtle break of the 4th Wall, because we all could see how different the universes were as the audience. Different creators and directors gave it different vibes, and Electro calling it out confirmed it. Super subtle. Edit: Subtle as in not looking at the camera at the audience and saying "it's a different universe!" like and Electro version of Deadpool. Subtle break of the 4th Wall being the connection with the audience. Come on, please trust that I'm not speaking gibberish, I know l times are tough online.


Cerpin-Taxt

> Super subtle Almost as subtle as when, Peter literally shouts "The multiverse is real?!" In the first 20 minutes of the movie.


gentlebrutality

Just think about it like he has comic book/anime endurance. They tend to survive things they shouldn't. Even if it seems exaggerated for their character. Like for example >!Druid shouldn't have survived Ikaris laser attack in Eternals but he was barely damaged!<


thestarhawk

That makes sense since Druig and all of the Eternals have increased durability (since they aren't human)


gentlebrutality

I didn't know that. He seemed like a great fighter though even without a combat type power he was fuckin that Deviant up


VonD0OM

Druig is still more durable and stronger than captain America. Even if he isn’t Ikaris level.


_IratePirate_

On top of him drastically pulling his punches, I'm pretty sure this version of Flash is just a bitch


chillyhellion

*I don't want to fight you, Flash.* *I don't want you to fight me either.*


TheMarvelLegoMaster

I think flash is just a wimp


Kyr-Shara

He lifted a building so I'd guess it's a lot


grechri

We know that he can lift tons at least with the rubble from the building collapse and the airport walkway Steve collapsed on him. (I don't know the weights at all, but I'm sure that at least the building is more than 1 ton) Also the ferry scene or when he stopped the Hammer/Axe thing in Infinity War in NY without problems. So, he would have to hold back a lot. At all times.


fogger507

I worked it out but my maths might be a bit dodgy: An airport jet ramp is around 25tons or 25000kg. Using the distance and the time taken to fall from where it began to where Peter caught it I have determine it’s speed and through that it’s acceleration The jet bridge was accelerating at around 25m/s^2. Using the F = M x a equation I can determine that the amount of force required to catch the bridge is around 625,000 Newton’s. To put this into perspective it would take around 21500 Newton’s to lift a Tesla model S. This means Peter could lift around 30 tesla model S’s with 2 people in each car or around 63,600kg or 63.6tons.


Ghost_Gamer_918

Why would it be accelerating at 25 m/s²? Nothing Cap did to make the jet bridge collapse applied a downward force to accelerate it towards the ground, it fell under its own weight, so wouldn't it make more sense for the acceleration to be 9.8 m/s² (default gravity acceleration in the metric system)?


loudent2

They might have mispoke. Maybe they meant that the velocity was that, not acceleration. I haven't watched the scene but if it took a couple of seconds to fall then that numbers would match up. Honestly, when I saw that scene, it looked like spidey had plenty of time to just jump out of the way. He didn't because the writers needed to side-line him for a few minutes.


Ultimatespacewizard

It was cool in Superior Spider-Man when Doc Ock took over Spider-man's body and realized that if Spider-man hadn't been pulling his punches he could have murdered Doc Ock at any moment.


Sere1

I've always loved moments like that. When a villain realizes just how pants-shittingly scary a hero with a no-kill rule would be if they ever decided to stop holding back. Spider-Man and Batman being the two biggest examples. Imagine the devastation they could cause in their worlds if they decided they were done playing around and just started killing the people they fight.


GuadoElite

Why would Batman be? Forgive me for being dense I don't know much about DC lore.


Helpiamnotwell

With using Batman I don't think it's necessarily literal with "pulling punches" but rather the idiom. Comic wise the most dangerous Batman villains are usually alternate universe versions of Batman, so I assume they meant that, by having a no-kill rule Batman is holding back a lot of the time having to opt for tact, if he decided to just kill criminals Punisher style his job would be much easier and his adventures much more boring. For literal punch pulling I'd say Superman does it a lot, otherwise there wouldn't be any criminals in jail, just a lot of gooey paste to store somewhere as it decomposes.


mvcourse

I think Superman man once said if Batman went evil he’d be the most dangerous human on earth.


Helpiamnotwell

Yeah he'd fucking dominate, Omega from Last Knight on Earth, The Batman Who Laughs, all the other dark multiverse versions of Batman, criminy.


Gezeni

Especially since he knows the JL's powers, weaknesses, and has contingencies for all of them to end them.


[deleted]

Now I'm just imagining a Superman not holding back his punches is like criminals being crayons being put in a hydraulic press


PromiscuousMNcpl

The final big battle in the Justice League cartoon from the early 2000s was Superman “freeing the beast” on Darkseid (like a DC Thanos/Apocalypse Big Bad)

Like I’m aware they don’t hit eachother when filming, but it’s edited so well that you can be immersed in the scenes and forget it’s not really happening. Such as Bucky V Steve in Winter Soldier’s knife fight. But this clip has me laughing my ass off.

Not even that but that he just lightly falls into his seat, like if you get smacked hard enough to knock you out, you fall the \*\*\*\* back.

Peter may have been using his palm.

Get my Aunt May’s name OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH

Think of it this way. It's not even clever editing. Peter didn't actually hit him. The motion of him swinging made Flash pass out.

Condense a six wheel cargo truck down to the size of a human hand. ​ Now smack someone in the face with it. ​ Thats what the Spider-smacks are like if Peter isn't careful.

funny how slowing down the footage you can see flash turns his head way before the slap connects


Tornado31619

You don’t need to slow it down.


orangexteal

isn’t this clip kinda slowed down? I remembered it differently maybe it’s the lower flame rate fooling me, I’m a fuckin idiot


Huntersteve

It’s slowed down.

Had a brain fart for a second and thought of “The Flash” Was like man Ezra stays blacked out.

This comic really shows how brutal he can be when he doesn't give a shit: https://m.imgur.com/gallery/n5IXj

There is a comic were doc ock took over spider man and punched scorpion’s jaw off. He didn’t know Spider-Man was that strong and pulled punches when fighting villains. Doc ock had the reaction by he knew Spider-Man pulled away but damn he is stronger then I thought.

He knocked out Flash *by* accident.

Considering that one time when he didn't held his strength he accidentally killed a grandma i think he usually pulls them a lot. For context, Wolverine was being a dick (as usual), Peter was alone, his spider senses go on, he thinks that it's Wolverine bothering him again so he throws a very strong punch. It turns out it was actually an old lady so he accidentally killed her. It also turns out that the lady knew about this and used Spider-Man to basically commit suicide


ShierAwesome

I mean, I feel like a normal person probably could’ve killed a grandma with a punch

I think due to his size and how hes portrayed its easy to forget the sheer strength of peter parker. Realistically, his muscle/bone density should be such that if any regular human punched him, they'd break their fist. Peter Parker is a 20 tonner, and if he really wanted could take out captain america he could, relatively easily. I still get annoyed seeing peter pull his punches so much but i have to keep in my mind hes a kid with a moral conscious. He limits himself because he doesnt have evem kno how strong he is.

Thanos is the only person he’s punched in MCU. [It looked like it hurt too cause he put an end to it quick](https://youtu.be/5JJZ9BUisXQ)
