But how would a bite from a radioactive spider turn Peter Parker into a superhero? New mini-ep over on my Insta (instagram.com/sci_Phile/). Thanks for watching! -- KH

I always figured that his hairs were somehow able to poke through the thin material on the gloves and boots.

miles morales in spiderverse can stick on walls through the soles of his chicago jordan 1s

Back in the early years of Spiderman comics, Marvel described his wall-crawling power as "molecular cohesion," which is not too far off the mark from how Kyle explained it here. However, they also pointed out that the spidersuit *had* to be made of thin & lightweight material or it would interfere with his ability. His gloves & boots are thin & lightweight enough that he can fold them up & carry them in his normal pants pockets & wouldn't leave an unsightly bulge; if Peter needed to climb a wall quickly & efficiently without donning his full suit (boots & gloves included) he would at least remove his shoes & socks first. Since he much prefers to make his own suits (yes, he also had to learn how to sew), & considering that Parker happens to be one of the world's foremost authorities on knowledge of spiders (he designed & built his own web shooters & invented his own web fluid to use with them, after all), further treating the material of his suits to work better than ordinary cloth would not be beyond feasibility of what he's capable of doing. His wall-crawling ability IS effective over his entire body, in that he can lean with his back against a wall, pick up his feet & cling to the wall by his back alone. He has also demonstrated the ability of full conscious control over this power, much like a well-honed reflex action in that he can pick & choose which parts of his body sticks & when they do, but he still needs to be conscious to make it work; if he's rendered unconscious he'll drop off a wall like any normal person would. All of this (except perhaps having a necessity to apply special treatments to the material of his spideysuits) is what Marvel comics has been publishing since the 1960's. I should know because I was buying & reading Spidey comics back then. The Mighty Marvel Bullpen already had most of this info covered, even way back then. Let that sink in... EXCELSIOR!

In Homecoming, his fingertips are exposed when using the suit he made

Can we all appreciate Kyle's ability to explain everything on the clear board and draw everyhting reversed?

His hair is honestly majestic

Okay! Now all I need from this guy is for him to tell us step by step how Iron Man builds his suit, amd how he jams a bunch of rockets in there.... (you know, because SCIENCCCCCCE!)

In the Spiderman: Homecoming ATM robbery scene he (1) hangs from the ceiling using his hands and throws a bad guy using the soles of his feet (2) counters the effects of the gravity gun by sticking to the ground with one of his hands' fingertips. That makes me think that his sticking ability is something that he consciously controls.

I think it's kinda interesting that someone at Marvel must have thought about this. In Spiderman Homecoming there's a couple sequences featuring the suit he used before Iron Man made him one, and that one has fingerless gloves.

"...the second part is wrong but we'll let that go for now." God damn it Kyle, every time I think about unsubscribing so I don't get useless Nerdist notifications you remind me why I'm subed in the first place. Your content, humor and intelligence never ceases to entertain me. Bless you.

All the way through Spiderman: Home Coming, I was asking myself this exact same question. Especially because of the whole "Tony Stark made this Suit" was emphasised so much during the film

I like how his accent suddenly turns completely German whenever he says Vanderwalls!

*The "Kyle Is Wrong!" FAQ* 1. When I calculated how many times more surface area Peter has than is needed, the numbers on screen come out to 8. I said and wrote 9 because I would doing a bunch of rounding behind the scenes. Sorry if that was confusing. 2. It's not enough to say "maybe his hairs go through." That's why I mentioned how small the Van der Waals interactions are and how close surfaces have to be. Look at a gecko's foot. It doesn't look liked barbed hair -- it looks like a smooth pad. That's because there are thousands and thousands of hairs packed very closely together. Even if the hairs could go though a suit, the suit would get in the way more often than not, just from sheer pore density needed, and drastically reduce the VdW interactions. 3. Another way we can canonically prove the hairs can't simply go through the suit -- and the suit has to have its own material -- is that in Spider-Man Homecoming, one of the non-Stark suits has fingerless gloves! And the AI clearly focuses on the fingertips of the Stark suit as though there is something more than hair going on. (UPDATING) -- KH

oh come on!its spandex and double sided tape!

Before I watch, I guarantee this is the "molecule manipulation" explanation. Will update when finished watching. Update: Yes.

"Each one of my fingertips is around 3cm2, and I have 20 of those" Kyle, Why are your toes fingertips. You're scaring me.

In the MCU Tony Stark gives Peter Parker the spider suit so he might use that material combined with his cool tech and a lot of gadges. It's been confirmed that the spider suit is more advanced than any other iron suit. Also, Peter Parker's homemade spider suit has fingerless gloves so he might have notice the problem with stickiness and Wan der Vaals force being blocked by tick materials.

Why don’t snakes use vandivar forces? Because god loves us

I just like to think about it as Spiderman can just stick to anything even if he's wearing thick armor, and this doesn't only apply to his hands and feet, but his whole body

i just thought the gloves he used had these sort of big spaces on the finger tip like if you looks at a shirt really closely you can see holes in it from the sewing and other things. but the holes on gloves were big enough so that he could climb on walls

Uncle Carben..... hahaha 😂

The "I get 9" part always makes me laugh

This is why I subscribed. Love your work, man

I only watch this channel because science...

I like to think he uses fingerless gloves and paints his fingers to match the suit

Title: "How Can Spider-Man Climb While Wearing a Suit?" Answer: Duct tape.

There have been instances in the comics where Spider-Man's adhesion abilities have been portrayed as incredibly strong, allowing him to exert enough force to pull off pieces of the wall or even break chunks of concrete.

thats an amaizing question and an answer thor . glad you are adgesting to midgard

This guy is the only reason i subscribed to Nerdist... until i found Muskwatch at least.

Yeah, I’d always wondered this!

Dude I love these videos. I wish you were my science teacher. Left a like and a sub

4:42 RIP :(

So where can I get that material? For ummmmm Fuck it who didn't want a spider suit when they were a kid

this guy always answering the real questions

Great job as always, saw Spiderman Homecoming two days ago, had a blast watching and Tom Holland was great, best Spiderman ever (imo at least)! Also the new suit is super cool, could you do an episode, explaining how it works (not all its functions, just basic stuff of cource XD)?!?!?

Could a machine that puts you in a dream-like state/virtual reality (as was depicted in Inception and other movies) exist and how would it work?

Hey there! It's your friendly neighborhood Peter Porker!

soo.... does this mean we could make a spider suit that would let us climb walls if we had enough strength? Why are these not already a thing?

Cute little spider taking his dinner off the graph.

love your channel, keep making great content! I watch nerdiest and do homework it's great😂😊

uummmmm anyone else noticed the spider taking the gecko away?

Ok that Slugman bit crack me up like heck

Rest In Peace Stan-Man

the micro spikes are sharp enough to pierce the suit. nuff said.

So it's sounding like, somebody could become Spider-Man without a radioactive spider bite...because science.

I just love how he says van der walls. it is glorious.

Your videos are amazing and creative... Like keep going my best wishes are with you

Nice video Kyle Hill.

It sounds funny when you try to pronounce van der waals krachten

Science is my worst and probably least favorite subject but you make it look so cool lol

Love your vids! Can you do an episode/s on the properties of Flubber?

Who's been wondering about this for ages?

So basically he just has super-strength

I wonder how much thought the team in charge of this movie put into that particular thing. I say it because they made it very clear how expensive the Stark suit was while also showing how the "original" spider suit uses gloves without cover on the fingers. That kind of details is one of the many reasons why this movie is so cool.

I love thinking about the people in who create these super heroes seeing explanation videos like this and thinking “yeah that... that’s what I meant by... yeah”

This is also how the power puff girls hold stuff

Kyle... but how much force would he need to pull his hand away from the wall??

the fact that you’re able to write backwards is so amazing to me

The genius Peter did not think of just using his bare hands.

5:02 flex tape

You look like Felicity Smoak in Arrow and Thor had a baby

Awesome video. Earned a new sub ^_^

I love how the spider just takes the lizard haha

comics never get their stories straight so there is multiple explanations but one is that he can control electromagnetic forces to the extent of holding to walls

my only question is how does he get his gloves off....

I’ve been asking this for a long time

I remember reading somewhere as a kid in a Spider-Man book that the layer of fabric around his feet and fingertips are supposed to be super thin, almost like a single layer of skin which allows the little hairs to puncture through the fabric and reach the surface of an object that he's trying to cling to.

i dont know how but in the comics they explained ow peter used a really thin material so that he can stick to walls

in his early comics his gloves and shoes where very thin and his shoes where basically socks

" can do anything a spider can" except having Venom. XD

I like this guy's analysis mixing science fiction with science giving some credibility to the characters he talks about.

Why am i subscribed? *Because Science*

how does Spiderman's spider sense work

give medal to the spider animator :) soo good

This is all tremendously interesting, and answers a lot of questions I had about Spidey... but I can't get over how easily Kyle writes backwards on the screen. Why am I so easily distracted? (although, not distracted enough to miss the subscribe button)

That doesn't explain how he was able to climb with his shoes on, in the scene lol

how does superman fly without wings? lol

Or the material around hands and and all joins are a thinner material allowing the hair follicle to easily pass through the cloth. Because there is instances where he is kneeling on his knees.

Never thought hearing someone say van der waals would be so funny😂😂😂😂

Why not get fingerless gloves.... and toeless socks?

Totally unrelated but I can't wait to go watch Thor: Ragnarok!

I was just abput to ask the question that was answered after the credits. Thank you for reading my mind

Spider man can do everything a spider can... Man, his bathroom must be a mess

Do you really write backwards or use a mirror to film your youtube videos?

Only problem is the movie was incorrect about his powers.

Best part is when he puts an accent on "forces" after saying "Van der Waals" with an accent.

We have to remember that scientists merged the genetic makeup of many spiders to make a new enhanced spider. In turn creating a spider that can heal, be stronger than a reg. spider and more. When peter gets bitten it activates his mutant x gene thus allows him to "evolve" with those spider senses and abilities. His suit is spandex and spandex is porous thus when stretches there are tiny openings through the fabric that allow the hairs on peters hands and feet to pass through... Because of science!

how does spider man not get sticked to everything he touches?

So who saw the spider crawl up and take the gecko

The two ways it goes in the comics is the hair, and the other way is that he can has electromagnetic fields around his hands and feet (in line with the spidersense) that allows him to stick to anything including the hulk who the hairs wouldn’t be able to pierce.

this is awesome

60/7.5 = 8...

were can i buy this material and how much does ItS cost for a 6'2" 14years boy?

I always wondered about that

Taken from the wiki article explaining his powers: The ability works through thin layers of cloth, such as the fabric of his costume, but not through materials such as the soles of shoes. When Peter Parker needs to crawl without changing into the costume, he removes his shoes first.

Didnt he have these pulse things on his hands and feet that allowed him to climb? I heard that. Oh, and for the movies, its was just to much to explain (like the organic webs)

So Spider-man has fingers strong enough to hold mass of his entire body?

I’ve always wondered about this

The spider walking off with the gecko means I need to find a way to multi-like this video. XD
