Sensing Miguel is agitated, Lyla offers to run through some different appearances and personalities she has on file as a change of pace; one is a balding, mustachioed butler very similar to Alfred Pennyworth, while the third one is a dead ringer for Aunt May who dotes on Miguel as if he's a little boy. Miguel glances at the fourth wall in disgust and bafflement, then — probably echoing decades of writers' frustration with May as a useless old lady — comments, "Kill that one".
Miguel in his first outing as Spider-Man, tries to find something badass to say.
Spider-Man (in a tiny font): "Hi." That's not it.
In the fourth issue of the original series, Lyla offers to give Tyler Stone some refreshments, resulting in a darkly hilarious example of Literal-Minded.
Lyla: Miguel has repeatedly stated that you like to suck the blood of widows and orphans. There's none in the fridge, but perhaps some coffee...?
And a few moments later...
Tyler Stone: Miguel, how can you nurse a grudge? Miguel: I have tough nipples.
The 17th issue has Miguel respond to Bloodsword renaming himself as Bloodhammer with the perfect quip.
Classic Spidey: Whoa! What the —? Miguel: I'm Spider-Man. I need you to come with me. Classic Spidey: Who the heck are you? Miguel: I — I just told you! Listen, listen: I'm from the future. Classic Spidey: How dare you point at me? Miguel: You — you were pointing first! Classic Spidey: It's rude to point! Miguel:You're being very rude! You're not even believing what I'm saying, you're saying I'm not who I say I am when I tell you who I am — Police Officer: Which one pointed first? Jameson:Spider-Man pointed first, obviously! Miguel: — You're pointing at me right now, as you say that! Look at you! Look at your finger! Look at your finger right now! What you're doing! You're pointing! YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF POINTING WHILE YOU'RE—! Classic Spidey:[at the same time] Yes, because you are pointing! I'm just pointing at your pointing, which is different than normal pointing! You haven't seen pointing until I'm through with you, and then you'll know— THE END
