Been reading Spider-Man lately??? It has been awesome hasn't it.
Here is an interview with Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slot on how he took away one of Spider-Man's best superpowers.
"With Spider-Man’s Spider-Sense gone, the world is a dangerous place for him. Someone would come up behind him with a wrench, and he would turn around at the last second and pop him one. People would shoot guns at him, and he’d know exactly where to dodge. We’ve seen him lose his powers all together, and we’ve seen, like, “Green Goblin throws a special bomb that temporarily knocks out his Spider-Sense.” But him just losing his Spider-Sense, just all together, I don’t think we’ve seen that, and it’s very much as if one of us lost our sense of hearing, or smell, or sight. It’s a sense. In some ways, he’s kind of Spider-Sense blind, or Spider-Sense deaf. And he hasn’t had to operate that way since he was 15. This is something he’s lived with for a long time, that’s probably affected him in little ways you don’t realize, on top of the big things. But on the whole, it means that Spider-Man’s world is suddenly way more dangerous.
He’s still Spider-Man; he’s got the proportionate strength, speed of a spider. He can still precariously balance on webs, and websling, and wallcrawl, and all the things we known and love. But suddenly, “Oh no!” Some fan immediately said to me, “You’ve taken away the phrase ‘Spider-Sense is tingling’! That’s important to the character!” It’s really fun, because people are always like, “Oh, this is the same old Spider-Man. Nothing ever changes. They should do something to change it.” Then you do something to change it, and they’re like “Not that! Something else! I meant get him a dog!”"
