Amazing Spider-Man # 10
This has got to be one of the lamest villains ever introduced. Not only is Captain Power a generic name, but he has one of the worst costumes ever. I wonder how long it took Byrne and Mackie to come up with this lame-O? Ever notice when a villain is lame, he always has the hero in a compromising situation on the cover?
Anyway this character was once one of Doc Ock’s lab assistants and is just now getting around to extracting revenge. Also there is some confusion what gender this Captain Power character is. Is it female or male? I’m not checking.
The only saving grace from total no spider-heads was the artwork and private life of Spidey. We finally had some development on Peter’s new job. It hasn’t been seen for a long time. Also the Mary Jane stalker storyline continued and we got a better look at who this person is. In my opinion is going to involve Jill Stacey somehow. Perhaps an ex-boyfriend of hers or something. Never trust a girl named Jill. Trust me, I know from personal experience.
Only one and a half Spider-heads on this one. A really lame villain can be used to a writers advantage. Just ask Peter David and his use of the Toad in Amazing Spidey # 266.
