Spider-Noir: What Are Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man's Powers? Explained
As per the comics, Cage's Spider-Man powers are as follows: superhuman strength, reflexes, agility, speed, organic 'webbing' projection, spider-sense, wall-crawling, and detective skills.
Cage's Spider-Man delivers a darker take on the classic web-slinger. While their origins share similarities, they come from different eras and differ in key powers. Cage's Spider-Man was raised by Aunt May and Uncle Ben and was bitten by a spider-like god. After losing his uncle, he decided to leverage his newly found powers to fight for justice. This particular superhero was born and raised during the Great Depression in the 1930s, per the comics. He also contributed to fighting Nazism and fascism across the world.
Like the traditional Spider-Man, this version has superhuman abilities that help him confront threats. On top of that, Spider-Man Noir leverages his acrobatic abilities to move easily across the rooftops. He also uses his detective skills to investigate crimes and learn more about their origins to eliminate them entirely. His outer appearance is a combination of superhero and detective persona as he sports a black mask, gloves, and trench coat while also carrying a pistol.
The traditional web-head generally utilises mechanical web shooters; however, Spider-Noir has organic webs, which he shoots from his wrists just like Tobey Maguire's web slinger. Additionally, the web-head's darker version occasionally makes use of pistols and can accurately shoot the target. Most of the other powers, like spider-senses and superhuman abilities, are similar to that of its other counterpart.

‘Chief of War' Review: Jason Momoa Turns Hawaiian Folklore Into an Ambitious TV Epic That Rivals ‘Game of Thrones'
Momoa and co-creator Thomas Pa'a Sibbett craft an Apple TV+ drama that's equal parts action-packed and illuminating Ten years in the making, Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett bring their passion project to life with the visually stunning, action-packed and culturally significant series, 'Chief of War.' The Apple TV+ drama tells the story of the unification and colonization of Hawaii at the turn of the 18th century from an indigenous perspective. It's undoubtedly one of the most ambitious series in recent memory, as it takes a heavy and delicate subject matter but manages to make it action-packed and informative in equal measures, which can be a tough line to tow. I knew very little, if anything, about the history of Hawaii. However, after watching 'Chief of War,' I felt inspired to research the various real-life figures and what happened to them after the events of the 10-episode series. More from TheWrap 'Chief of War' Review: Jason Momoa Turns Hawaiian Folklore Into an Ambitious TV Epic That Rivals 'Game of Thrones' Richard Quest Burns Scott Jennings on CNN Over Trump Tariffs Spat, Says He's Not a Real Journalist | Video Warner Bros. Sets Post-Split Multiyear Contracts With JB Perrette and Bruce Campbell Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne Explain Why Hollywood Doesn't Delve Into 'Platonic' Relationships That Often The importance of 'Chief of War' stretches beyond entertainment as it gives native Hawaiians a platform to reclaim their history and tell the story of their people by bringing it to a mainstream audience. This is a big responsibility for Momoa and the cast and crew to ensure authenticity, which they achieve with cultural advisors in every production department. Also, even the inclusion of Hawaiian language dialogue was a culturally-significant moment as the language almost became extinct after it was banned from being taught in Hawaiian schools in 1896. Now, millions of people get to hear the language take center stage on one of the biggest shows of 2025. Beyond the cultural impact, 'Chief of War' is also a bloody entertaining TV show that boasts incredible performances from its cast. This could be a bold claim, but the show will be the making of Luciane Buchanan. The New Zealand actress has already made waves with Netflix's 'The Night Agent,' but her star-turning performance as Ka'ahumanu is a game-changer. In playing the queen consort and one of Kamehameha I's wives, Buchanan brings emotionality and pathos as her character must balance prophecy and tradition with the changing landscape of the modern world and the evil forces that threaten it. Another stellar performance was by the mohawk-sporting Cliff Curtis, who was impeccable as Keōua. The New Zealander's performance added a real gruesome edge to the show, portraying Keōua like a Marvel villain in the way that he seemed an indestructible threat to the protagonists and their way of life. Though the character could have benefited from more scenes exploring the reasons for his madness. Perhaps the greatest character of 'Chief of War' was the Polynesian islands with wide sweeping shots of filming locations in New Zealand and Hawaii, adding real drama and surreal beauty to the drama. Not even the bloody battles and violence could stop this from being a great advertisement to hop on a plane and take in the incredible sights that the islands have to offer. It could be the New Zealand backdrop and violent battles that are clouding my judgment, but it felt like 'Chief of War' took heavy inspiration from 'Lord of the Rings.' And just like the Tolkien stories, 'Chief of War' thrived when it leant into the mystical and fantastical. The old world superstitions and beliefs of the native Hawaiians were represented hauntingly by the Prophetess. While it's hard to strike the balance between being an authentic representation of history and an entertaining show, I would have loved to see more of the surrealist moments, as that created such a unique atmosphere within the show. And just like 'Lord of the Rings,' 'Chief of War' knows exactly how to produce an epic battle scene that had the audience on the edge of their seats with high-octane action. Without giving much away, the final battle sequence was the perfect climax to a dramatic and well-crafted series. It was fast-paced, exhilarating and ultra-violent — the image of Momoa ripping someone's tongue out of their throat and biting it comes to mind. 'Chief of War' writer and lead star Momoa made his big Hollywood breakthrough on 'Game of Thrones,' and comparisons have already been made between the two shows as the audience are taken on an epic adventure to different lands, minus the fire-breathing dragons. Whilst I can't see the upcoming Apple TV+ show having as big a cultural impact as 'Game of Thrones,' I am incredibly optimistic and excited about the future of 'Chief of War.' There are no confirmed plans for future seasons, but Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett have got something special on their hands. The promising first season has given them a perfect launching pad to further showcase the rich culture and powerful stories of native Hawaiians that have been waiting to be told. 'Chief of War' premieres Friday, Aug. 1, on Apple TV+.

Big Brother Recap: Lauren's Snoozy HOH Comes to an End, as [Spoiler] Is Evicted From the House
Anyone else feeling a bit of déjà vu? Lauren's week as Head of Household in the Big Brother house came to an end Thursday with Adrian, Kelley and Will all occupying a seat on the block. All three of the nominees have already been nominated before, and all three feel like low hanging fruit (no shade). But didn't Week 3 feel like… a monotonous redo of Week 2? When will someone actually make a friggin' move this season?! More from TVLine Countdown Counters a Steamy Amber/ Mark Scene With Frightful Cliffhanger Destination X Winner Revealed! Grade Season 1 and the Finale Big Brother Recap: Who Didn't Survive Jimmy's Chaotic HOH Reign? Alas, someone did get booted from the BB house this week. Who was it and how will their exit shake up the game? Let's recap the night's events… but first: Tears! THE STRATEGY | Kelley is upset that her ally Adrian is on the block alongside her, but she also knows that she can't beat Adrian in the life-saving live comp that is the BB Blockbuster. Adrian calls Lauren a 'motherflipping chicken' for not taking a bigger shot (he doesn't curse!). He says he's in survival mode now, and he's gotta win at all costs now. Morgan, meanwhile, wants to combine her Final 3 with Vince and Zach, with her bestie Morgan and solidify that as a Final 4. But Mickey seems threatened by her girl's other relationships in the house. But her loose lips start sinking ships. Morgan did tell Mickey about her Final 3 with the boys, but once word gets back to Morgan that Mickey has been spilling that secret, she's understandably pissed. Could she get a modicum of revenge by… voting to evict Will? And while all of that is going down, Vince scrambles to figure out how to get Will evicted so he can keep both Kelley and Adrian in the house another week. Will Morgan help him out with that? THE BB BLOCKBUSTER | In this week's Blockbuster comp, players must 'Study the Study,' determining how many differences there are between two nearly identical rooms. Once all players' answers are locked in, the person who comes the closest without going over wins. Kelley locks in with seven, while Adrian puts six. Will guesses… 16?! (Dude, she said, 'Without going over!') The total number of differences is eight, so Kelley wins and officially removes herself from the block, while Adrian and Will prepare to face the vote. THE VOTE | Before anyone even enters the Diary Room, Will and Adrian are both in tears. They're both playing for their families and yada, yada, yada. (I'm not totally without feeling here, but look guys, someone's gotta go. Y'all signed up for this game!) When all is said and done, Morgan doesn't vote to evict Will, and Adrian (plus his loaf of bread) is evicted by a vote of 8-4. Did Adrian deserve to get the boot? Drop your thoughts and feelings in the comments below!

This excellent horror is one of three underrated Prime Video movies to watch (August 1-3)
If you've ever spent time browsing Amazon Prime Video, you know that the streaming service tends to recommend the same few things every time you log in. That's partially by design. After all, Amazon is just like any other streaming service — it has an algorithm that points you toward specific things. If you want to branch out, though, we've got you covered. We've pulled together three underrated movies that are all perfect ways to spend the weekend and might involve checking out movies that Amazon hasn't shown you a million times. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. The Perfect Storm (2000) A great blockbuster from an era without superhero movies, The Perfect Storm stars George Clooney as a ship captain whose crew is hit by three massive weather events that combine to create the titular perfect storm. Featuring effects that hold up remarkably well 25 years later and a cast filled with dudes who you come to care about over the course of the movie, The Perfect Storm has aged remarkably well. Of course, it doesn't hurt that it has a performance as magnetic as Clooney's, holding things together at the center. You can watch The Perfect Storm on Amazon Prime Video. Smile 2 (2024) The original Smile was a pretty interesting horror movie, but it also felt constrained in ways that Smile 2definitely does not. This sequel follows a major pop star struggling with addiction who becomes haunted by a series of smiling ghouls, leading to a descent into madness. Smile 2 is dark, twisted, and largely unpredictable. It's anchored by a remarkable central performance from Naomi Scott, who manages to make the psychological terror at the heart of this movie feel totally real. You can watch Smile 2 on Amazon Prime Video. Stranger Than Fiction (2006) An important reminder that Will Ferrell is a better actor than you might think, Stranger Than Fiction follows an IRS auditor who starts hearing narration that convinces him that he's a fictional character. As he rebels against the narrator that dictates his every move and tries to prove that his life is an interesting and fulfilling one, Stranger Than Fiction becomes both more interesting and circular. While it can be a difficult movie to wrap your head around, Stranger Than Fiction is the exact right combination of funny and compelling. You can watch Stranger Than Fiction on Amazon Prime Video.
