Warning! Spoilers for Shang-Chi by Marvel Comics #1

Spider-Man's webbing is one of the most important and valuable tools that the hero has, as it keeps the web-slinger mobile, can stop enemies in their tracks, and can be used in a variety of creative ways. However, those who get tangled up by Spider-Man are stuck left dealing with the webbing and a new comic described just how gross that feels.

Peter Parker's webbing has been an integral part of the character since he first debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15 by Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Stan Goldberg, and Artie Simek. Different versions of the hero have almost always used one of two kinds of web-shooters: The original and most used version being created by Peter Parker using web-fluid cartridges (that Peter has whipped up himself) with the other being organic web-shooters coming from his own body. Peter's webs have some serious strength and are difficult to break free from. They generally dissolved after an hour, although special versions have lasted much shorter and longer.

In brand new previews for the upcoming Shang-Chi #1 by Gene Luen Yang, Dike Ruan, and Triona Farrell, Shang-Chi and his sister Esme encounter a man with claws who tries to attack the new leader of the Five Weapons Society. Esme notices a toy spider on the attacker and as she's about to kill him, Spider-Man arrives on the scene. Spider-Man quips about it being impolite to kill people on the street. Esme, meanwhile, admits to loving watching videos of the web-slinger on the internet but attacks him after he steals her dagger. As she charges him, Spidey shoots webbing at Esme's hand.

With her dagger now webbed in her hand, Esme describes the feeling of being webbed as being "snotted on." She says she doesn't care how cool Spider-Man and his videos are, that she's going to kill him. Spider-Man apologizes for webbing Esme and suggests to Shang-Chi that they work together as he's trying to stop a weapon's ring, while his fellow hero is tracking a drug ring.

Spider-Man has webbed up a lot of heroes and villains over the years, but rarely has it been described in such a disgusting fashion. Comparing the webbing to snot really illustrates how gross it feels, as Esme is appalled to have her hand covered by the webbing. Being a superhero isn't always pretty and Spider-Man's webbing might be the grossest attack among his fellow heroes. Nobody ever wants to be "snotted." At least this time, Spider-Man apologized for the webbing. Shang-Chi #1 is in stores later this week.
