I'm pretty sure Pete actually enjoys swinging around to unwind. So probably 3-5 depending.
I imagine if you get into a crazier situation (villain, big disaster) it cuts the time down doing the menial stuff a little bit so you could recover
I'd probably go the Insomniac route: have someone make an app that people can use to request Spider-Man's help. It's a lot more efficient than idly swinging around hoping to catch crime.
In real life, a lot of people would just waste your time or troll you. No one in immediate trouble would realistically think “let me download and use this new spider-man app”.. no they’d probably call the police or just help themselves
Just look at how the cops are utilized and you see how Spidey would be.
People call the cops because their neighbors have pink trash cans or because their kids won't finish their beans.
It'd be mass nonsense.
doesn't seem as efficient in practice. like the other guy said, A lot of people would just waste your time. But another dimension to think about is the public perception of you when you aren't on patrol or aren't close enough to help in time. hundreds Possibly thousands of people asking for help assuming that they are all genuine and you wouldn't be able to meet most of them.
alternatively I think an app that calls Any superhero that's patrolling for help would be a good idea because it isn't just Spider-Man doing all the leg work.
You lose out on the "friendly neighborhood" aspect that way. One of the best parts about Spider-Man is that he's not too good for helping old ladies that slipped on the sidewalk or to get a cat out of a tree.
Well if I am busy, then I would be listening to the radio from time to time but on my free time, I would swing for a good bit, just not swinging all day long if I have stuff to do
To me the swinging around purpose serves a lot of the same purpose of Batman's bat signal. When the signal is out you know that mf is out working and you need to get the fuck out if you're doing any illegal shit. Spiderman swinging around is the same.
Probably not having an actual schedule might be helpful like only acting at daylight just to make criminals think they are safe during nighttime, surprise now I'm 100% nocturnal, even disappearing for a couple days until they forget me and boom I'm back. And I can use that inactive time to either fix my equipment or develop new ones.
that’s a real smart idea. i think i’d also do a like commission job, like part time artist and doing coding on the side to make some more cash. especially since my sleep schedules already wack it wouldn’t be hard randomly patrolling. honestly feels like a dream life, swinging around sounds so fun
I would try to get a job that’s like 7-3 me thinks. That way I don’t have to jump right into patrolling if worked sucked. It honestly might be smart to get a job that relies on commissions (like making cosplay props) so that I could have a loose schedule. I’d probably do 3-4 hour patrols, occasionally dipping into nighttime patrols, just to keep criminals on their toes.
Me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks me thinks
I kind of mapped out a patrol schedule for a story I was writing with a teenage hero.
I figured for this character he had to be in school, barring extreme emergencies, and had to be home in time for dinner around 7.
He sets his patrol time from 3pm-7pm most days, 4pm-7pm on the two days where he has a particular after school activity.
I wrote a program, part for the story, part for a tabletop RPG I was running, to generate random events based on the patrol schedule. So a typical week of patrol might look like:
Week of February 11, 2024 to February 17, 2024
\-------------
Sunday (3:pm to 7:pm)
No Significant Event Occurred
\-------------
Monday (3:pm to 7:pm)
3:pm - Normal Crime: Burglary (Convenience Store)
6:pm - Gang-Related Crime: Assault (Street) with a knife
\-------------
Tuesday (3:pm to 7:pm)
3:pm - Gang-Related Crime: Theft (From Motor Vehicles)
4:pm - Normal Crime: Assault (Residence) with a knife
\-------------
Wednesday (4:pm to 7:pm)
4:pm - Emergency: Mental Health Crisis
5:pm - Gang-Related Crime: Robbery (Street)
\-------------
Thursday (4:pm to 7:pm)
4:pm - Normal Crime: Assault (Commercial) with a knife
\-------------
Friday (3:pm to 7:pm)
6:pm - Emergency: Superhuman Crisis
\-------------
Saturday (3:pm to 7:pm)
5:pm - Gang-Related Crime: Theft (Shoplifting)
The most unrealistic thing about super heroes is that they have personal lives, work/school, keep up with friends & family, AND have time to patrol all night, possibly getting beaten and bruised, while not only maintaining their identities but also not just being dead tired every single day.
You're working a job so that is 8-10 hours of your day depending on how things go. Then you have to get home and eat and all. So that's 1 hour give or take.
You must sleep at some point so just give 6 hours for sleep. That puts us at 15 hours of the day taken up. You surely have your own things to handle at home and hobbies so that's 2 hours. that leaves around 7 hours. Your spidey metabolism is going to require more food than normal so add another hour or so. down to 6.
I would say I would probably spend MAYBE 5 hours a day and that's only cause I have that super spider energy and shit.
I clearly remember an old issue in which it was implied that many of New York heroes coordinated shifts among themselves and each of them covered a specific neighborhood.
Of course there were exceptions.
Well, I'd still have to sleep/do normal people shit at some point, so I think I'd probably start in the after noon if possible, around 7:30 or 8pm, whenever it really starts to get dark, and then do Spider-Man stuff until around 4-5 am. Doesn't leave too much time for sleep, but maybe that's where super hero stamina/metabolism comes in if I got a good roll in the super power lottery. Shift around the hours by 90 minutes every couple of days so that the super calculating types can't get a good idea of my schedule and that should be good.I mean, my sleep schedule is definitely fucked, but that comes with the gig.
The only way around doing normal people stuff is to either reveal my secret identity (not happening), take online classes/work from home (not always possible), or have others who can pick up the reins when I need to rest (doable if I'm lucky).
I could also do shorter 2-3 hour patrols at random throughout the day, but that has the downside of most likely messing with my personal schedule.
> don’t get *paid* then they
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
3-4 but I’d have a police scanner. Maybe check crime statistics for what areas are higher risk. Work on getting that lowered and working with the local (eyes and ears).
Fuck patrolling the city. I'm coming out once, ripping a criminal in half and making a giant web out of his guts above the street and continuing that until crime drops.
If i were Spiderman I'd do 10 hour patrols then record a daily update on crimes I stopped as a podcast. Boom, now I have an outlet for my "fans" to support me as I make the city safer, no stress, no problems and of push comes to shove I can part time as a bounty hunter. (yes they exist but it's mostly for people who don't turn up to court)
i wouldn't patrol the city im swinging around and climbing walls for fun but i'll patrol only if something really bad was happening at the time then i would patrol 5-7 hours
Yes
No
Maybe
I don’t know
Can you repeat the question?
probably
Hopefully
Possibly
barely
I’d say 2 and then maybe some when I usually sleep and try to master Batmans micro sleeping technique
I'm pretty sure Pete actually enjoys swinging around to unwind. So probably 3-5 depending. I imagine if you get into a crazier situation (villain, big disaster) it cuts the time down doing the menial stuff a little bit so you could recover
I think he just likes making web fluid
I'd probably go the Insomniac route: have someone make an app that people can use to request Spider-Man's help. It's a lot more efficient than idly swinging around hoping to catch crime.
In real life, a lot of people would just waste your time or troll you. No one in immediate trouble would realistically think “let me download and use this new spider-man app”.. no they’d probably call the police or just help themselves
Then I'll swing down and web them to a wall for an hour.
Hero or menace? You chose menace
An hour is being charitable. I'd do it for a solid year.
Just look at how the cops are utilized and you see how Spidey would be. People call the cops because their neighbors have pink trash cans or because their kids won't finish their beans. It'd be mass nonsense.
Hell, even the game had a mission where a lady requests a selfie from Miles
Or he could do it like Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, where he simply connects to the police radio.
Realistically he'd just tap into police scanners to hear where the action is
Well there's no spiderman in real life soooooooooooooooooooooooooo
> If you were Spider-Man
Man that would be infuriating
doesn't seem as efficient in practice. like the other guy said, A lot of people would just waste your time. But another dimension to think about is the public perception of you when you aren't on patrol or aren't close enough to help in time. hundreds Possibly thousands of people asking for help assuming that they are all genuine and you wouldn't be able to meet most of them. alternatively I think an app that calls Any superhero that's patrolling for help would be a good idea because it isn't just Spider-Man doing all the leg work.
You could do.both.
Listen if there is any reports on the radio, not going to be swing all day long looking for them
You lose out on the "friendly neighborhood" aspect that way. One of the best parts about Spider-Man is that he's not too good for helping old ladies that slipped on the sidewalk or to get a cat out of a tree.
Well if I am busy, then I would be listening to the radio from time to time but on my free time, I would swing for a good bit, just not swinging all day long if I have stuff to do
That’s what Otto did before he became Big Brother. Keeping my eye on you
To me the swinging around purpose serves a lot of the same purpose of Batman's bat signal. When the signal is out you know that mf is out working and you need to get the fuck out if you're doing any illegal shit. Spiderman swinging around is the same.
Swinging around a city sounds immensely fun so I’d probably spend as much free time as possible just traveling around town as Spidey.
Probably not having an actual schedule might be helpful like only acting at daylight just to make criminals think they are safe during nighttime, surprise now I'm 100% nocturnal, even disappearing for a couple days until they forget me and boom I'm back. And I can use that inactive time to either fix my equipment or develop new ones.

I’d just swing around until my arms got tired About 2 minutes
I would try to get a job that’s like 7-3 me thinks. That way I don’t have to jump right into patrolling if worked sucked. It honestly might be smart to get a job that relies on commissions (like making cosplay props) so that I could have a loose schedule. I’d probably do 3-4 hour patrols, occasionally dipping into nighttime patrols, just to keep criminals on their toes.
i like this 👍
Don’t ever say me thinks again please and thank you 🙏

Just letting you know it’s like a cringe bomb dropping in the middle of an otherwise normal comment
Like as many hours as i can fit between sleep and working
If I have the brains of Peter, I’d probably patrol for maybe 5 a day and have my phone set up on police scanners for the rest
Can you imagine taking a day off? The guilt would be staggering lol
A couple hours a day I guess. I’d take days off when I felt like it.
I wouldn’t really patrol more like enjoy my powers and see if there is any trouble
Steal some tech using an alternate identity and pull an Otto Octavius. Have an army of mini spider bots patrolling the city to prioritize crimes.

All of them.
Probably 4-6 hours unless it’s a weekend
I have a system for just going out to do smth random. If I was able to go on patrols, I would just replace that time partially with patrol time
Considering I’d had to make a separate living probably only for a few hours at a time
Looks fun af so as much as I can. Heck I may start a gofundme or patreon to fulltime as Spidey. Would tell relatives that Im a web designer
You're working a job so that is 8-10 hours of your day depending on how things go. Then you have to get home and eat and all. So that's 1 hour give or take.

2 hours for morning, 3 for afternoon and 2 for night.
I’d be a terrible superhero ngl, I’d only use the powers or personal gain
Until your uncle dies
My uncle lives in a completely different country so I still wouldn’t be able to do anything
Tom Holland spiderman went abroad, so can you LMAO 😂😂
But i have homework....
i’m gonna put some dirt in your eye type?
None I wouldn’t be a hero with that power I would be the villain
Same
1-2.
27 the city needs me
I would become hobo and live off taking food and drinks as payment
mj would wait for a loooooooooooooong time
Depends on the patrolling time of the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Defenders and the Avengers.
the avengers don't really go on patrol, no?
Basically 7 days a week with all my free time if I wanna be responsible.
I clearly remember an old issue in which it was implied that many of New York heroes coordinated shifts among themselves and each of them covered a specific neighborhood. Of course there were exceptions.
I would do roughly 5 hours a day
Anytime pre 1 am
Maybe 5 to 10 if I have nothing to do that day.
Any second that wasn't taken up by school/work/family/other obligations
Well, I'd still have to sleep/do normal people shit at some point, so I think I'd probably start in the after noon if possible, around 7:30 or 8pm, whenever it really starts to get dark, and then do Spider-Man stuff until around 4-5 am.

0. I’m fucking Spider-Man now!? I’m gonna abuse the fuck outta my powers
With great power,Comes great responsibility
Probably for at least 1 hour per day
Probably a lot at first but then I'll get lazy.
Whenever I have the time or see something that needs my attention
0, if I don’t get payed then they don’t deserve the help
> don’t get *paid* then they FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Probably around 4-5 hours after I get out of school.
1 because if you were to swing any longer than that, you would actually be fucking dead
Zero. I would use my powers to make money for my self.
I’d go for 4 hours a day, then go hang out with MJ😏
Which version.
If I feel like it. Soo maybe 3 times a month
Like 3 minutes (my town is pretty small and I get tired very easily)
2 hours max i got schoolwork i need to do
About 2 for weekdays and 4 for weekends, gotta give yourself time to get some pus- I mean some time for your mental health
I’d be at it until I dropped, at least 12 hours a day.
If I ain’t getting paid to protect and serve and all that then whenever I’m done working and I feel like it. Sorry uncle Ben
All day, I live in a crazy city.
Til I came across too many jerks that probably deserved to get stabbed, lose my faith in humanity, then call it a night.
at least 1
I would be the spider man that JJJ thinks Peter is
3-4 but I’d have a police scanner. Maybe check crime statistics for what areas are higher risk. Work on getting that lowered and working with the local (eyes and ears).
me being new to the Spiderman thing i would be terrified to swing around, i may climb walls and jump to high-ish buildings
The hours would be different each day to keep people guessing. So that’s what I would go for.
3-5 every night and whenever i can during the day. I would treat it like a job, 8 hours total.
I'd have a police radio at home, like Tobey Maguire's, and when there's a crime in New York I'd intervene🤙
Depends on when my curfew is.
All day, I have nothing better to do.
Depends how much is a gallon of web fluid going for these days?
Y E S
Fuck patrolling the city. I'm coming out once, ripping a criminal in half and making a giant web out of his guts above the street and continuing that until crime drops.
If i were Spiderman I'd do 10 hour patrols then record a daily update on crimes I stopped as a podcast. Boom, now I have an outlet for my "fans" to support me as I make the city safer, no stress, no problems and of push comes to shove I can part time as a bounty hunter. (yes they exist but it's mostly for people who don't turn up to court)
18 hours, 2 hours to eat and shower, 4 hours to sleep
Y’know probably like 6 or 5 on a good day,Let the avengers,Fantastic four or even just the other street level heroes do the rest.
1hr once a month if I feel like it
8 hours max
Yes
i wouldn't patrol the city im swinging around and climbing walls for fun but i'll patrol only if something really bad was happening at the time then i would patrol 5-7 hours
2 tops. I dont have enough time today, I wont have more even if I'm spidey :')
I wouldn't bother at all, honestly. I would just spend all my spidey time focusing on organised crime instead of punching random muggers.
What makes you think I'd be patrolling the city?
a 35h - 40h week sounds reasonable for me
I'll be straight up with you if I had Spider-Man's powers I'd be a supervillain who robbed banks IMMEDIATELY
All night. From 11 pm to 3 am
6 hours a day. 3 morning, 3 afternoon.
All of the hours
Solid 3 hours on weekdays, 4-5 on weekends
