One thing has always bothered me about Spider-Man. Most people, I think, are aware that Spider-Man's wrist-mounted web shooters are activated with a small lever that he presses with his middle two fingers.



web shooter



However, attaching an activator to your palm seems like a pretty terrible idea if you then plan on using your hands for things. Has he ever triggered his webbing accidentally, or have any villains ever exploited this feature?

  • I would say no, because in the movies he was given his web ability with no real control over how it worked. In the comics, he made them this way deliberately.

If I recall correctly, activation requires a specific amount of pressure to prevent accidental firing. i.e. you need to tap the button twice.



Comic explaining how the web shooters work



And yes villains have crushed, melted, damaged etc. his mechanical web shooters plenty of times. This question has the answer


And Deadpool stole Spidey's webshooter



The only example of a web shooter accidentally going off, is in Spider-Man 2099 when someone squeezed Miguel's wrist and his organic web shooter covered the floor with web fluid. And he kept thinking, "Please don't look down!"

    In The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) issue #2 we see that the web shooters have a safety catch to prevent accidentally firing them.



    The Amazing Spider-Man issue #2



    We also see that his shooters require a very specific pattern to activate making it hard to trigger accidentally or by someone else.

    We do actually see Spider-Man accidentally shoot his webs in the 2002 film Spider-Man — but here the webs are genetic and not from shooters.
