    Default Spidey's "kryptonite"

    Back in 1970, Professor Smythe invented some kind of chemical he could spray on the wall-crawler to weaken his powers. Actually, I think it was jus some fancy bug spray!

    Spidey's kryptonite is the flu. He even lost his powers because of the flu once (when Ock unmask him).

    His family has been his kryptonite. He will drop whatever he is doing, for instance, if Aunt May really needs his help.

    Anti-Venom was probably the closest thing to Kryptonite. Even being close to him disabled Spider-Man's Powers.

    Silk was kinda like that for a minute there. Couldn't get anywhere near each other with immediately snogging. That's kryptonite when you're about to get into a fight.

    I'm glad that we're still scapegoating May.

    I'd say its his sense of responsibility.

    Spider-Man's weakness is that he cares too much!

    I believe that's an actual line from somebody in the 90s cartoon lol.

    I would say one or two punches from Venom really leave Spider-Man weakened.

    Baby Silvermane in the Season 4 episode "Partners," and two episodes earlier, Kingpin himself in Felicia Hardy's long-awaited debut as the Black Cat.
    The spider is always on the hunt.

    I can't believe I forgot about that. You'd think Peter would never have a sick day in his life after being bitten; I've never heard of a real spider being laid up a cold or flu (they already vomit on their food in order to digest it).

    Peter’s Kryptonite is Aunt May ( see OMD and how he almost killed Kingpin when he attacked her ( even Osborn over Gwen did not get that treatment)).
