good god no do you have any idea what four additional functional arms must have done to his musculature? to his tendons, to his skeletons? all of that has to be anchored somewhere, and it's right over his ribs, likely the socket is fused over them, removing the extra arms would leave him horribly deformed or lacking his fricking ribcage, which is pretty much death
In the cartoon this happened. But in the comic he was just stuck with six arms until Morbius helped him find a cure. No turning into a giant spider
Also there’s a what if comic where he never undoes his six arms since he doesn’t meet Morbius and just embraces them and ties the extra ones down under his clothes during the day
Well there was also another storyline in the comics where he turned into a giant spider and gave birth to himself just so he could have the organic webs from the raimi film.
Just read that 'What-If' now that you mentioned it, it's very strange in its messaging. In that the entire thing is about how Peter can now become a symbol for the disabled since he has six arms and that makes him a freak. But, like, there are far more disabled heroes in that world. And Peter just has the FF build him some invisibility sleeves so nobody knows he has extra arms anyway, so it's not like he's living like a freak. And it's strange that he saves Gwen and then doesn't end up marrying her.
I will give it some props for having Spider-Man show up at the X-Men mansion and all the mutant freaks take one look at him and shout 'holy shit, a monster, kill it,' and start beating the shit out of him as if freaks showing up at the mansion isn't the entire point of the mansion.
Do you really not remember this? The mutation was ongoing, the six arms were a sign he was going further and further in it. Do you not remember what happens? Eventually he reaches the Man-Spider transformation, they used it in the finale with one of the other Spideys.
HELLO I AM NORMAL HUMAN MAN PETER PARKER. I HAVE SIX ARMS NOW FOR SOME REASON. PLEASE CUT THEM OFF AND DON'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS OR DO BLOOD OR GENETIC TESTING.
You make it sound so simple
He knows like 20 different expert scientists and doctors. Amputating extra arms sounds fairly simple

Wasn't the problem that he became a giant spider?
yeah
So even if he gets two pairs of arms amputated, he'd still become a giant four-arm man-eating spider.

he grew four extra arms, what makes you think they wouldn't just grow back?
Worth a try. Worst case scenario he’s back where he started
>He couldn’t just get the extra arms amputated?
Wouldn't there just be a bunch of stumps along his torso then?
Would certainly fit in clothes better
I wish I had six arms, then I could jerk off six guys at a time.
but then people would know your spiderman, and that spiderman is gay.
Gaaay
I could work my nipples, balls, prostate, froth my lips against something tasty, and use two extra arms for my penorrr

Maybe they'd regrow
So you know how Sony's been trying to bring the mechanical spider legs back over the last couple years, what with both the MCU and the games?
Well what about mechanical human arms? How come that's never been a thing?
It's not like it was only start of the process of mutating into terrifying monster, right, anon?
how kafkaesque!
If he cut them off, Parker Luck would kick in and eight more arms would grow.

he could join the x-men
it would be a tragicomedy
Mutate not mutant
Keep lookin' pal.
spatula
yeah i know. that's what makes it a tragicomedy. it would be a recurring thing for people to make the correction
The cosa nostra tier bigotry of inhuman vs mutant never ceases to amuse me.
>fricker that never had to suffer
that would make him disabled for life
>Spiderman: Oh no I have six arms, my life is ruined
>jimmy olsen: Cool, i have six arms, my life is awesome
Why not just amputate them?
And who else is right for that job?
>Spiders have eight limbs
>Spiderman grows organic arms
>Octopi have eight limbs
>Doc Oc never grows organic arms
Life is unfair.
