I think he means that the covers look similar, whereas I always wondered how on Earth The Tarantula ever walked in those toe-pointers?:ohnoez:

In case you actually don't know they're retractable. He can walk with them since they protract directly from the front of the boot. I guess maybe theres an area of the boots where the spikes are housed that don't get in the way of his feet. Maybe platform boots?

Well, when your primary attack is your toe it doesn't surprise me. I always would get these two confused at firs glance. The Tarantuala was a dumb character. No wonder he turned into a giant spider lol.

They never did explain, if he's striking with enough force to put a three-foot crack into the side of a building, how is he not shattering his own ankle?

Went on Wikipedia to look up his powers and came across this gem:

Abilities Skilled martial artist
Enhanced agility
Finger claws and toe spikes incorporated into his costume, usually envenomed
As a tarantula-like creature (Rodriguez):
Superhuman strength
Wall-crawling ability
Organic webbing shot from his buttocks

He could shoot webbing out of his ass? :whatthe:

That could all go wrong after an iffy curry.

"Just before his death, he developed the ability to shoot organic webbing from his buttocks."

Now I'm supposing this happened after he had mutated into a giant spider but this then begs the question, do spiders have an arse? If so I should imagine (after a momentary ponder) that it would be quite bony. Perhaps retractable cushions would be more beneficial for a sustained crime spree than steel tipped winkle-pickers.

Spiders don't have arses Harry?

Are you referring to different issues, or did you collect multiples as a kid?
