Okay, I did a little more homework on "cooking with gas"...

Cooking with gas:
Now you're really getting somewhere or making progress

Apparently this idiom originated when gas stoves were first introduced. Cooking with gas was WAY easier for people who had been used to cooking with wood or coal.

(If you can believe what's on the internet... )

That's sounds correct and 'cooking with gas' may well predate 'cooking with grease'. . . .I take 'cooking with grease' to be a more colorful variant -- recognizing that it takes more skill to cook with grease and that grease yields a tastier (superior) product.

...and that grease yields a tastier (superior) product.

...And bypass surgery.

All of the slight similarities doesn't really interest me, like everyone wears clothes, but the black tie, and whip, and hat. That is really similar.
And the Spider web attaches to things just like the whip does, although everything else about spiderman is completely different.
