How Would Spiderman Fare In Your City?

Ottawa

He would pretty much have a good solid (low flying) run down few of Ottawa's urban canyons like Albert or Slater, cross down Kent, have a few spins around Parliament hill and depending if it's a hot day or not, let go and plunge into the river to cool off ...Total airtime..Maybe 5 minutes tops..Most likely 2-3 minutes. .It would be like an equivalent ski bunny hill for a warm up before he takes on the big boys.

In Philly he would be a huge success. People love a local hero here and there is enough height to visit the suburbs if he wants to.

In KC he's spend too much time at BBQ joints and not bother saving the day anymore.

Spiderman would fall in love with 'MaryJane' and lose motivation for everything else in life except for Double Double Cheeseburgers from In N Out.

Spider-Man wouldn't achieve much in downtown Libertyville

You'd see him swinging from elevated freeway structures here in Houston.

In Montreal, he'd be panhandling on the slushy sidewalks near Central station.

I've seen Spiderman dancing many times in Montreal. He seems to get a few quarters thrown his way.

He was arrested when he climbed the Sears tower.

Depends on which Spider-Man you’re talking about. Peter Parker played today would have a hard time getting the mamis down in South Beach but he would have fun swinging through the high rise condos of Brickell and Downtown. Miles Morales is a bit too young as well to enjoy himself down there.

Here, he would eat too much, get too fat to do his thing and go buy an F-150 and chase baddies around in that.

Maybe he would be freaked out by there being other spiders (and roaches) even bigger than him?

He could moonlight by posing for photos with tourists in front of the Chinese Theatre.
