OK, geeks unite. Spidey is superhuman, Otto Octavius isn't--he's a "high tech wonder" by Marvel's definition. When they tussle, Spidey hauls off at least two full power punches to Octavius's head....his HEAD! Any self respecting Spiderman fan knows those punches would knock Octavius Silly--to say nothing of the full force kick he withstands on top of th train moments later. The thing in the comic about Ock was that he beat Spiderman because Spiderman couldn't lay a hand on him--because of the arms.

I'm no complainer, but the physical strength of Spiderman should never, ever be downplayed.Thor, Hulk, Thing, Wonderman? Sure. Not Doc Ock.
