You also have to keep in mind the Spider-Man who fought him in Renew Your Vows was in a vastly different set of situations than the Earth-616 Spider-Man. The RNYV Spider-Man didn't have the resources of Parker Industries and pretty well everybody but him and May were already prisoners of Regent.

Going to have to agree with Annabell on the idea of Regent being defeated after a single issue isn't really out of the ordinary. Also if he's that popular of a character they'll bring him back and probably do something different to him to make him more of a threat. That "stealing powers" thing is kind of old hat when you think about it.
