Peter Parker doesn’t have a leg to stand on in this argument. Dude literally figured out how to synthesize spider silk in large quantities, which is one of the most sought after discoveries in materials science. Then he just uses it to swing around New York City and tie up bad guys. All his money woes would be over with just one licensing deal with Oscorp. His best friend even runs the company so he could stipulate how they use it
No, yeah… I get it.
Judging by the state of the world today … I think it’s a better idea to turn people into dinosaurs than in curing cancer
These dinosaurs… cancer free?
I used to think I would be like Spiderman if I had powers/money/genius tech but I changed my mind after seeing this panel.
I also want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Honestly? Cancer is already getting cured, but no one will be able to afford it
But dinosaur people? Have fun refusing them or their families healthcare
Maybe turning people into dinosaurs is the morally superior option
“We’re not refusing you because of payment obligations; we simply do not know enough about dinosaurs to medically help them!”
tail lashes in agitation, destroying rows of waiting room furniture
“Please doctor, you have to try!”

Good end: raises traq rifle with enough drugs to knock out a herd of elephants.
Bad end: raised a D. Eagle.
I mean… He’s not killing anyone or hating anyone. He just turns people into dinosaurs. I wouldn’t hate being a dinosaur.
I don’t think he’s getting consent…
Uhhh no villain ever gets consent for their plans? So if that’s the only base, this is the least villainous villain ever.
I think non-consensually modifying people’s bodies (and minds, because who knows how a human mind maps on to a dinosaur brain) is pretty top-shelf villainy. People have body dysmorphia over body shapes human normally have. Toss on leathery skin or scales, and people will be offing themselves if there’s no fix.
Think about the villain from Wonderwoman 1984. He got consent (in the form of wishes) all the way.
To be fair, the people who turn into dinosaurs don’t have cancer anymore.
It’s one of those “Would you press the button” questions.
You become cancer-free.
BUT
You turn into a dinosaur.
I’m pressing that button even if I don’t have cancer.
Sorry, cancer is a prerequisite for dinosaurification.

Cigarette prices have really gotten nuts these days.
I’m still doing it. I’ll probably get cancer anyways because of bad choices and genetics. At least then I can use my dinosaur powers for good until I get killed by the government.
Speaking of nefarious government actions; is it still cannibalism if your DNA is that of a dinosaur now?
Imagine the money from rich people eating dinosaur steaks.
Man has to know what he wants
But pterodactyl isn’t a dinosaur…
Excuse me, good sir/madam. What?
deleted by creator
Pterodactyl is a pterosaur, not a dinosaur
TIL!
Are there other animals in that category?
Is he turning people into pterodactyls? Just because he is, possibly because of his own machinations, doesn’t mean he’s turning others into pterodactyls.
That’s exactly how dna works. /s
Yes.
This is a comic book about a dude called:
Your tag seems to suggest that there aren’t genetic predispositions to certain cancers (e.g. BRCA1 for breast cancer). A better criticism might be “that’s not how cancer works” since every cancer type is essentially a separate disease. Cheers.
No its more about the dinosaur thing.
Sauron always has clear goals.
Can I be a dinosaur too
Wish granted.
You are now a chicken.
I don’t see how these are equal. Also, they’re clearly both a dinosaur and a person.
And I think I’d prefer to be turned into a dinosaur, too.
Por que no los dos?
This looks familiar. What comic is it from??
Spider-Man and the X-Men #2 from 2015.
That whole crossover run was pretty great and not very long either
Spider-man
