I liked the costume, I thought it was a good blend of iron man and spidey, the extra arms were interesting, and it was cool to see him go in a different direction for a while, but as usual whenever they change a character's costume, I'm always glad to see them go back to the original. I think without the change I don't appriciate the original as much.
The costume was fine. It was the extra gadgets that came with it. Spiderman doesn't need powers if you're going to make him an Iron Man who can't fly. I think that's what really bugged alot of people. He was just another Iron Man. The colour scheme was kinda' an annoying reminder of that too, although it did look sharp.
It would have been better to stick to more standard Spidey colours like Red and Black, I think, but the costume design was sweet. The solid colours instead of the webbings was a nice touch. It's less complicated and it's a more subtle looking costume and it pulls off a little bit better a tone.
I just don't think it suited Spidey. Not at this time anyway. If Spidey'd gotten his butt whooped by a Super villain, and he needed some kinda' help, then Stark giving him the suit is a lot more justified then "Here's a costume Pete!"
Except the 3 mechanical arms...WHY NOT 4? c'mon, spider 8 limbs not 7? hello? Someone was asleep at the wheel.![]()

What the hell do you think War Machine is? He's another IronMan
What the hell do you think USAgent is? He's another Captain America
Peter barely ever used his gadgets anyway, so whats the big deal, it was mainly there as a plot devise, so Tony could moniter and study Peter, it served it purpose, now it's gone, and unlike the Black costume I doubt Peter will ever wear it again.
I agree that three arms is stupid. It should have been four. Maybe tony stark was the kind of kid who liked to pull legs off spiders and watch them try to walk around

The appearence of the suit itself I didn't mind and in the context of the story it made sense. But some of the extra powers were really dumb.
This is the only costume that I could see becoming permanent over the OG costume, wel actually if they mixed this one with the OG one. Basically just keep the OG one but add the big spider over the chest, the half webbed boots look kinda stupid, same with the fingers.
What's your point? I didn't like either character all that much and I was happy to see the originals come back. I don't want two of every super hero running around. It's just annoying and let's Marvel start another series just to make money and screw up continuity with crap. I don't like Iron Spidey because I don't like turning an original character into a copy of another character, especially if both are cool.

He didn't use his gadgets at all as Iron Spidey.![]()
The Black costume does come and go. I haven't seen this one since Ben died, and I don't see it coming back. Even if just the big spider. That's a cool idea, but it's still "Ben Reilly: Spiderman" not Pete. That costume belongs to a different character, clone or not, and I don't see writer's doing it.
It's just, I don't know, sacred...you don't steal a your dead "brother"'s costume and use it, it's disrespectful. Let him lay at rest.
