Sure i did, but again is just a them, on side note(just because i want to type)

a) Sure spiders spit web from their back, but on an humanoid spider thing coudl change(for god sake SAY NO TO ARTIFICIAL WEBSHOOTERS AND YES TO ORGANIC ONES!)
b) The rabbit HIDE the eggs, it was never said they do LAY the eggs
c)DC comic fashion for superhero is for most part horrible, suggesting that dislike their enormous amount of power they are prety much daltonic, with few exception(Power Girl costume is PERFECT :P)

I don't think a superhero firing spiderwebs from their posteriors would have sold many comic books. Most of us probably wouldn't even know who that character was if he had been designed that way.

Lay off the easter bunny, he brings cadbury eggs and it's a thankless job.

I always assumed aquaman wore the green and orange because:

A. Really bad fashion sense. He named himself after a color (aqua) and it isn't part of his uniform.

B. There's a reason emergency life vests are orange or yellow or red...both easily visible from a long distance in the ocean. Wearing an orange shirt is inviting the badguys/navy to use you for target practice.

C. Green...must've been out of khaki. Or he made it himself out of algae or seaweed...but then why is his shirt orange?

That would have never made it past the comics code authority, and plus there would be no way to steer.

Huh? Firstly: what exactly does daltonic mean? Secondly: Huh?!

Not because aqua is Latin for water--as in aquarium, aquatic, and aqueous? :erm:

Dictionary.com search results for 'Daltonic'

Some people are addicted to quoting Wikipedia. I quote Dictionary.com. :D

And what's wrong with mechanical web-shooters????? If you didn't have the ability to spin webs on your own, wouldn't you want a set too?

According to one of the origin revisions I remember from the 90s, the reason Aquaman wears orange/green is because that was his old Atlantean prison uniform... he continued to wear it because the irony appealed to him.

Nope, in fact, in one of the first issues of Spider-Man 2099 (who always had organic shooters*) one of the letters asked why he didn't shoot the webbing from his butt.


*Not Jim Shooters, however.

There's a comic I wish would've lasted longer. All the 2099 really, I thought they were a nice re-envisioning.

Are you suggesting Jim Shooter is inorganic in nature? :lol:

Artificial web shooter could be cool, albeit abit unpratical if you don't have alos spider powers, but inorganic are cooler.But in the end is irrelevant, a web is a web whateve rits origin, is not such big difference, like an organic bio armor and metallic bio-armor. Both parry damage , the rest is only aestetical stylistic matter.
I prefer organic, someone prefer inorganic, So what?
