Saved The Avengers From Being Erased

With his uncanny spider-sense, Spider-Man proved his worth as he aided the Avengers even before his official induction. Alerted by his instincts, he sensed Nebula’s attempt to manipulate reality, prompting Thor to acknowledge his invaluable presence. In their confinement within a secluded room, Spider-Man skillfully maneuvered the cameras to survey their surroundings. Furthermore, he disabled Nebula’s power inductor, earning Captain America’s gratitude. Despite their appreciation, both Cap and Spider-Man felt it wasn’t yet the right time for him to join the esteemed ranks of the Avengers.

Spider-Man Reveals Of Norman Osborn During Siege

Norman Osborn, known as the Green Goblin, posed a constant danger to Spider-Man and his realm in the Marvel Universe. However, everything changed when Osborn assumed the role of the hero during Secret Invasion, taking charge of H.A.M.M.E.R. and the Dark Avengers. Empowered and wielding immense influence, he set his sights on Asgard, sparking a clash with the Avengers. Iron Man strategized to disable his armor, while Captain America engaged him in combat. Ultimately, it was Spider-Man who landed the decisive blow, delivering a punch to the deranged Osborn on live television. This exposed his true Green Goblin identity, finally bringing an end to his tyrannical rule.

Saving The Imprisoned Avengers

The explosive start of Marvel Comics’ New Avengers series saw a massive jailbreak, unleashing all the major supervillains from their supermax prison. Carnage, Thanos, and a horde of others wreaked havoc, overwhelming The Avengers. However, Spider-Man swung into action, patrolling his friendly neighborhood. He not only contained the escaped prisoners but also rescued captured Avengers like Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. Spider-Man’s heroic efforts didn’t go unnoticed, as he earned himself a spot on the Avengers team. With his quick thinking and web-slinging skills, Spider-Man proved instrumental in reining in the chaos and solidifying his role among Earth’s mightiest heroes.

Avengers Request For Spider-Man‘s Help

Avengers #315 marks the moment when The Avengers directly approach Spidey for assistance, acknowledging his previous commendable collaboration. They require his aid in locating Nebula, who is determined to obtain the Infinity Union. Spidey agrees and becomes an invaluable asset, assisting The Avengers in overcoming various obstacles in subsequent issues. Regrettably, there comes a pivotal moment where he inadvertently endangers everyone, inadvertently granting Nebula immense god-like abilities. Fortunately, with assistance from The Stranger, they manage to avert disaster and prevent being trapped in the Void. Despite his misstep, Spidey’s overall contribution remains positive, albeit with dire consequences when things went awry.

Defeating Firelord

Firelord, as a Herald of Galactus, wielded a fraction of the Eater of Worlds’ might, causing widespread devastation in New York City. The Avengers, despite their collective strength, were unable to overcome him. However, Spider-Man, aided by a symbiote-infused black suit, emerged as the unexpected hero. Engaging in a fierce solo confrontation, Spider-Man managed to pummel Firelord into submission. Despite the villain’s unconscious state, Spider-Man’s thirst for vengeance persisted. The Avengers intervened, restraining him to prevent further harm inflicted upon the pyromaniac. Spider-Man’s triumph showcased his unparalleled determination and his capacity to stand against formidable adversaries.

When Spidey Sense Saves The Day

Readers were first introduced to Spider-Man’s quest to gain the trust of The Avengers in Avengers #236, a comic book by Roger Stern and Al Milgrom. Spider-Man’s determination led him to clandestinely attach himself to the team’s Quinjet, with hopes of earning a spot on the team. Initially met with disapproval, Spider-Man’s Spidey Sense proved invaluable when it warned the group of an imminent danger. An earthquake struck, followed by an attack from formidable villains such as Blackout, Moonstone, Rhino, and Electro. With Spider-Man’s assistance, the heroes swiftly defeated the antagonists. Witnessing his bravery and skills, The Avengers found it hard to deny Spider-Man a role on the team.

Saving Captain America

In the Spider-Island storyline, New York City fell under the oppressive reign of the Spider Queen, transforming it into Spider-Island. Spider-Man, being the city’s resident hero, took it upon himself to confront this threat. However, the situation escalated, involving the Avengers, as Captain America had been turned into a spider-like minion by the Queen. To complicate matters further, he became the unwilling Spider King. With the timely assistance of Flash Thompson and his Venom symbiote, Spider-Man managed to defeat the Spider Queen, leading to Captain America’s restoration to his human form. This joint effort between Spidey and the Avengers ensured the restoration of peace in New York.

Sacrificing Himself To Save An X-Man And Avengers Member 

Spider-Man, the legendary hero, has valiantly saved the entire Avengers squad on numerous occasions. However, there have been moments when his efforts were focused on protecting just a few Avengers, or even a single one. Tragically, in a gripping tale called “Death of Spider-Man” by Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar, Leinil Francis Yu, Mark Bagley, and David Lafuente, Spider-Man fearlessly intervenes in a battle between the Green Goblin, Iceman of the X-Men, and the Human Torch of the Avengers. In a heartbreaking turn of events, Spidey’s heroic act leads to what appears to be his own demise.

Saving The Avengers Even After They Fail To Help Him

In the Spider-Man: Ends of the Earth storyline, Doctor Octopus orchestrates an intricate scheme to conquer the world by assembling the Sinister Six. As expected, villains often harbor such grand designs in their minds. Spider-Man, realizing the magnitude of the threat, seeks aid from The Avengers. However, to their surprise, the Sinister Six effortlessly neutralize the superhero team. Left with no choice, Spider-Man relies solely on his own resources. Against all odds, he manages to foil Doc Ock’s plan, safeguard the world, and miraculously rescue The Avengers single-handedly. His indomitable spirit and ingenuity shine through as he emerges triumphant in the face of overwhelming adversity.

When Spider-Man Becomes A Backup Member Of The Avengers

In Avengers #329, the Avengers face a crisis as the Tetrarchs of Entropy banish the key members to the Dimension of Exile. To fill the temporary void, Spider-Man is enlisted as a backup reserve member. However, fate takes a turn when the primary Avengers return and the Tetrarchs are defeated. While Spider-Man wasn’t solely responsible for their rescue, the entire reserve unit joins forces to avenge their fellow Avengers. Through their collective effort, they prove that even as backups, they can step up and make a significant impact, ensuring the triumph of the main team and safeguarding Earth once more.
