Another confirmation: Peter Parker is a nerd
I was watching an episode of the old Spiderman cartoon, the one from the early 90s, and he had a great line.
He's fighting Scorpion in a nuclear plant, and JJ Jamison is there with him. Scorpion hits some control to pull out the rods away from the reactor, and Spiderman, while dodging Scorpion's tail, is explaining to Jamison what will happen if Scorpion succeeds.
Jamison: What do you know about stuff like this?
Spiderman: [pointing at himself] Hey, who do I look like? The Tick?
This is not only a hilarious line, but since The Tick was not a Marvel character at the time, this means that Peter either read Tick comic books or was watching the cartoon. However, this episode aired in Nov of 1994, and the first Tick cartoon aired in Sept of 1994, so it is even more likely that Peter was referencing the comic book. Prior to the Tick cartoon, only major comic book nerds even knew The Tick existed.
So more proof that Peter is hugely nerdy. :) Like we needed more, but hey...
