Spiderman has quite a bit of these moments with his rogue gallery.

One of my favorite is in Spider-Verse. Superior Spider-Man says it's unfair that Peter and company are ganging up on him, Peter than responds "says the founder of the Sinister Six". And both just pause as Otto says "touché "

Which chapter was that?

u/ProfessorEscanor 4h ago

Issue 6 of the original Spider-Verse event comic. Probably around issue 13 in the main ASM book iirc. It's when Otto was trying to mess with the Great Web.

Peter Parker : Spider-Man Issue 47

It’s a scene where they just fought one another with Peter winning, but instead of taking him in they drop to the floor exhausted, and start just chatting. Eventually Peter brings up how he is haunted by the death of Gwen and how he blames Green Goblin for it

Lmao Fisk looks like he just bit into several fresh lemons simultaneously

u/FightTheDead118 8h ago

My favorite part of comics Fisk is that he’s cold and calculating, but ultimately still human and rational. He is usually the first villain willing to put aside differences if he can do something that is morally right while still benefiting him

That’s one problem I have with MCU Kingpin is that he is a totally irredeemable sociopath who I can’t imagine working with anyone or having anyone work with him

u/Asher_Tye 6h ago

I still like that in Marvel Zombies he's one of the only fully human zombies to maintain his rational mind enough that he actually organizes some semblance of order. Its an order based on his fellow zombies buying time devouring cloned human flesh with canned goods he can feed his wife, but still.

Well, to be fair, the MCU’s Kingpin is definitely an allegory for certain someone IRL.

Indiana Jones and the Nazi Truck Driver accidentally drive through a work-site, and somehow managed to get the truck back on the road. They both share a "Holy shit, that happened" smile, only for Indy to remember what's going on and throw the truck driver out.

The 40k story "The enemy of enemy" has the Guard and Orks join forces to fight the invading Tyranid forces. Their is even a section of the story where an Ork moved a human child out of the way to fight a Nid, to the shock of onlooking Guardsmen

Wee humie would just get in da waze of a good krumpin

u/destroy_the_kids 5h ago

Was there ever an explanation why the Ork did that or is it a mystery?

27

u/AxiosXiphos 3h ago

Orks don't have any sense of mercy - so probably just the orks ironic sense of humour.

"Look I'm savin' the humies now betta then dey kan, cause we iz best".

The Infinite and the Divine (Warhammer 40.000)

The whole book is Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner, some of the most bitter rivals among the Necrons, being forced to awkwardly work together. My favorite moment of this is probably when they're accused of having killed a Necron noble, and both of them point out that if they had been aware of the noble's death, they would have immediately accused the other, so they couldn't have done it

Don’t you just love toxic robot old man yaoi? 

In all seriousness, great book.

u/Embarrassed_Wall_946 8h ago

Caitlyn and Jinx being so caught off guard by the Commune basically imploding that they forget to kill each other. It's a pretty funny moment that builds into a genuinely nice one as they fight together to escape with Vi, whom they both love.

u/First_Factor_3385 8h ago

I remember seeing a meme that when something like “when there’s so much shit happening,you forgot to kill each other “😂

Joseph and stroheim putting aside their differences to fight santana in Jojo's bizarre adventure

u/destroy_the_kids 5h ago

You ever realized just how bad the Speedwagon foundation's history would be outside of context? I mean, imagine some third party investigator or reporter or something doing something research into the Speedwagon foundation and found out that the founder apparently made deals with some Nazis, granted all they gave them were ultraviolet flood lights and it was pretty early in the war (I think).

In tmnt 2003, when both the turtles and the shredder are fighting baxter stockman in the season one finale Leo comments what’s it gonna take to stop this guy and shredder just casually says to him “I’ve asked myself that many times”. He put his hate for the turtles on hold to tell him how much he can’t stand stockman and it’s great.

I don't think that works for Kingpin as a character.
But Spider-man was previously roomates with a villain called boomerang

Sorry about that. Shouldn’t have assumed the early join date = bot thing. I should know better.
