Cyclops tries to take Daken into custody even though Wolverine tries to warn him to not do it without his advice. Unfortunately, the warnings were too late when Daken wakes up and stabs Cyclops’ leg.
Not much peril on this week but this image of Spider-Man getting tangled by Doctor Octopus is the only Hero in Peril shown in flashback. And note that the narration belongs to Otto Octavius.

I wanted to make it clear (and this is as good a place as any) that I’m not just going to be posting every single time a hero or heroes is tied up by a villain, that would be ridiculous.
In fact, I may post one that wouldn’t come under the purview of this tumblr just to show the distinction. But not every scene of a hero (or what have you) captured necessarily has any sexual or BDSM undertones.
However, as in the image above, other scenes quite clearly have BDSM undertones. The position of the bodies, the placement of the restraints, I mean, look at Tigra, her breasts and crotch are both exposed.
So no BDSM definition for this post, just a point being made. Not every scene of comic book defeat is sexual. But some definitely are.
