What does tarantulas think of Spider-Man he seems like he’s at least know of the comics existence

Dear Amazing Arachnid,

Tarantulas ultimately considered Peter Parker to be a failure. While working on his Chimeracon project, he wished to test the effects of Obtenteum on humans. At the time, though, the superfuel was in limited supply, and he could only spare enough for a single injection. In Parker—a social pariah prone to conflict, insignificant and overlooked, but possessed of a scientific mind and the curiosity to bring the mutation to its full potential, Tarantulas found the perfect test subject.

As Parker immediately began to test the limits of his new abilities, taking on the identity of Spider-Man, Tarantulas was pleased, predicting that the boy’s drive for personal glory and revenge would bring him into conflict with ever-greater individuals and authority structures on Earth. When Parker instead chose to use his Spider-Man persona to shy away from his own desires, and “waste” his gifts saving lesser members of his species, Tarantulas was disappointed and soon lost interest, believing that Spider-Man would never evolve into an organism capable of affecting the Specimen in any meaningful way.

what type of fuel do you use for your cyber-barbecue? whats your favorite food to make?

Dear Grilling Gourmand,

I do enjoy the pursuit of the perfect energon barbecue. When my siblings get together, Alchemist typically takes up the role of fuelling us, but each of us has taken over the cy-grill from time to time. My sister Solus, for instance, swears by the use of hypergon when cooking to infuse the fuel with a potent "kick"—though I admit that I find it has never really agreed with my catalytic convertors. Onyx, meanwhile, refines his own obtenteum for just this purpose, which is much more to my taste... though his choice to use it to prepare cuts of bolt-bat and wormozoid might turn some off their meal. 

Ah, but I digress. When I cook for my friends and family, I find I get the best results when I add one part of my signature chronogon to three parts refined energon, with a ceria-zirconia solution added to draw out flavors. While this certainly makes for delicious francium frankfurters and iridium-blend patties, in my experience my greatest achievements include pulled porcineacon sandwiches and primal ribs, as well as skewers of tungsten-turkey and energon tomato. And personally, I like to enjoy cy-barbecue with a nice vessel of Stanixian energon wine!
