Spider-Man's Best Partners From The Classic Comic

Many of the "Marvel Team-Up" issues feature Spider-Man and a small posse of heroes. Spidey teams up with Nick Fury in this four-issue story arc, but much of the story sees him working alongside the Black Widow. The only problem: she has amnesia, and the gentle Spider-Man helps her regain her memories as a potential romance blossoms. The story plays out in issues #82-84 via "No Way to Treat a Lady," "Slaughter on 10th Avenue!," "Catch a Falling Hero," and "The Woman Who Never Was!"

The first book features Spider-Man saving Widow, and by the end of the book, she rushes in and saves him, though she doesn't remember who she is. At the last moment, Fury shows up and shoots both of them, but being comic book heroes, they're effectively immortal and don't die. In the next book, Spidey comes to and realizes he was struck with an anesthetic bullet. Things go from weird to worse when the Silver Samurai and Boomerang appear, and by the next issue, Spider-Man teams up with Shang-Chi!

Eventually, it all comes out that Madame Hydra is responsible for the story's events, and Spidey teams up with Nick Fury, Shang-Chi, and Black Widow to take her down. By the end, the potential romance between Spidey and Widow is dashed when she reveals he is too nice a guy to be of interest to her (she has her memories back by this time), so she files him firmly in the friend zone!
