Isn't that the "cosmic" Spidey?

 

No.

 

 

It is the new alien costume/symbiote, but in this story, Firelord is mistaken as the aggressor, Spidey kinda picks on him, and Firelord knew he could beat Spidey, even with his new-found strength, but to do so probably would have FL killing SM or at least injuring him gravely. So, FL decides to "take a dive" and lets SM beat him.

Huge Copper Spidey fan, but there is no way Spidey can beat Firelord.......sorry.

.......that's like saying Bats can beat Sups......

 

That's why I can't bring myself to adding the 2 issues to my collection.

 

But if you have read the issues, you know why it happened. The explanation is part of what makes it a great story.

I peeked the spoiler and I like it… :D

 

 

That’s in the same vein of the Dr. Strange story: Dr. Strange (unlike Jim Shooter) knows that the Beyonder is a nonsensical character (as he is not basically an entity, but something "omnipotent", and unreal), so he just points out all the inconsistencies in his motivation, until in some way the Beyonder is "won" by Dr. Strange. That’s IIRC.

I agree with you, Slym. I first read this arc in Marvel Tales, since it was above my reading level when it first came out. Hooked me on this era of Spidey and served as an early gateway into some of the cosmic stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion, friend. I'll look it over again.
