Various Super-hero action figures, and their needless Vehicles

[DiscordianBeats 28]

Let first start off by saying, I love Spider-man, and Batman, they are my two favorites out of the two franchises, but Spider-man seems to be notorious for having vehicles he could not possibly need.

 

Let's start with Spider-man, because let's be honest here, he's "amazing".

 

First on the list is the "Spider-man Bump 'n Go Helicopter" I actually found this toy (still in the box) at my grandmother's house recently. It was funny to see such a toy, because the first thing that popped into my head was "Why on earth would he even need this?"

I mean c'mon he's Spider-man! Why on earth would he suddenly need a helicopter? I know this is a toy and all, so it should not be taken so seriously, but it's just kind of funny to imagine me as a kid going.

"Ok Venom is downtown destroying the city! QUICK TO THE SPIDER-COPTER!" I mean he can get across town faster than the rest of New york, because of his powers. For him not to use them is just stupid. Maybe this was for the time Jameson's son was stuck in a shuttle? (See Spider-man Issue #1) But even then, I doubt this vehicle would gotten more use than to just help Spider-man get off the ground.

Next vehicle that confuses me is "The Spider-mobile" or as I have come to call it.

Now this confuses me because, spiderman in a car, is like Batman riding a bicycle. It's far slower than their current means of transportation (Batman with his various Bat themed, high speed vehicles, and Spider-man with his web slinging.) Remember here that Spider-man is in New York, and any one who lives in the U.S.A. should know that New York, isn't exactly known for freed up roads. For him to get anywhere in this vehicle it would have to be able to climb walls like he does, but even then, it can only go so far, before it has to hit the ground, because most buildings are not instantly connected, and some are streets away from each other. I suppose as a kid it was cool to be all like "Spider-man has to race the Green Goblin on his Motorcycle, so he can't cheat by using his webs...SPIDER-MOBILE!!!" but once again, that still would be a ridiculous scenario.

 

Will post more soon

Oh god, now I want to write a comedic superhero story where the hero can never stop crime on time because he gets stuck in traffic XD
