Iron Spider suit

[supermarvelman]

the extra arms on the iron suit kind of reminded me of doc ock at first.

Thats probably why Marvel didn't give him 4 arms, Doc Ock and Steel Spider, it's already been done.

 

[supermarvelman]

I hate to admit it, but I liked the Iron Spidey costume (minus the extra legs)--- and for some odd reason liked the footies.

I think the arms is what made it pretty cool.

He was not a copy of Iron Man at all, what just because he wore similar colors, and had a few gadgets. He didn't have half the **** Iron Man has, and he couldn't do half the **** Iron Man can do. War Machine is much more of a copy than Iron Spidey, he looks almost exactly like IronMan, just Black and Grey.

Yes!! It's called IRON SPIDER for god's sake. It is a copy of Iron Man. He can bring the suit up out of nowhere (kind of like Extremis Iron Man. Coincidence?). Great, Spiderman can't fly and shoot energy blasts. Do you have other things Iron Spidey can't do that Iron Man can't? Right, Stark's a super genius and has every computer network in the world attached to his head. Oh, he can also control the suit from afar, but the only difference is it puts him in no danger.So apart from the big 3, one of which Spidey almost has an equivelant for (web swinging) they have almost exactly the same passive powers.

And don't tell me this stuff about barely using his powers, most of it is passive anyway. Only the arms and the stealth mode are active abilities by the suit, and we see that they both get used, if not the stealth then at least the arms.

And I just told you I don't care for the copycat heroes at all!! Why do you assume that I care that War Machine is a bigger copy cat of Iron Man then Iron Spidey? I don't. My point is I don't want to take an established character and make him into a copycat of another character. It's redundant, and in the case of Spidey, it's somewhat insulting.

After Spider-Man's newer powers developed in "The Other", Tony Stark (Iron Man) developed a new suit for Peter, which he began wearing in The Amazing Spider-Man #529. Nicknamed the "Iron Spider" costume, it is red and gold: according to Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada, "Stark's design, Stark's color!" The suit was designed by Quesada, based on a sketch by Chris Bachalo. [3] The suit's appearance has had a mixed reception from fans. [4]

Supported by a system similar to that of Stark's classic Iron Man design, it features many gadgets, including three mechanical spider-arms, or "waldoes," that can be used to see around corners (via cameras in the tips) and to manipulate objects indirectly. Stark describes them as too delicate to use in combat, yet Spider-Man shortly afterward uses them to smash through the sensors in Titanium Man's helmet. Later on during the Civil War storyline, he uses them, (reluctantly), during his fight with Captain America.


Other features include short-distance gliding capability, limited bulletproofing, built-in fire/police/emergency scanner, audio/visual amplification (including infrared and ultraviolet), cloaking device, carbon filters to keep out airborne toxins, and a short-range GPS microwave communication system. It grants the ability to breathe under water, and can morph into different shapes due to its "'smart' liquid metal" form. It can also "more or less disappear" when not needed. The new costume is able to look like other styles of costumes Spider-Man has worn over the years or turn into his street clothes. Part of the costume can detach it self from Spider-Man to cover an object too dangerous to touch, such as a radioactive asteroid. All these features are controlled by a computer system in the chest piece. The suit responds to mental control (The Amazing Spider-Man #530).


The armor also has a secret override that can be activated by Iron Man in case of emergencies or if Spider-Man ever switches sides, (which he does in Civil War #5). However, unknown to Stark, Peter was already aware of the safety measure and had bypassed it with his own override, Password Surprise. Perhaps most sinister, Stark discovered a way to give his own Iron Man armor a "spider-sense" based on Peter's, and the ability to give Spider-Man's sense red herring.


It has been stated that this costume will be Spider-Man's official costume until writer J. Michael Straczynski chooses to revert to the older costume. It has been used symbolically to show Peter's divided loyalties during the current Civil War event at Marvel Comics.


In Civil War #6, Spider-Man is in his classic costume, apparently rid of this costume since he will be returning to his black outfit in early 2007.

I didn't say he didn't ever use his gadgets, dont twist my words to try and prove a point I said he barely used his gadgets. Of course he's gonna use his gadgets in Civil War, thats why and when he started wearing the costume in the first place. So yea he barely ever used any of his gadgets besides the Spider-Arms, he never really used anything else.

I realize that. I said that because it was obviously sarcastic. I'm not the only person who seems to have a problem with the fact that you can't notice this. Also wanted to show that he uses the active powers more then you imply. The arms are the primary power, so him only using those actively says alot about how much gadgetry he uses. Especially when the other powers are passive, things that happen regardless of mental control. Like his spider sense.

And if Civil War isn't a good point about how and when the suit was designed, here's him using the suit Pre-Civil War.

Yea I feel you on that, but sometimes it's not disrespectful to sport a dead persons gear, sometimes it would be seen as a sign of respect. I know people hate how nobody stays dead anymore but, I really hope Ben Reily comes back one day.

He's not exactly the hardest perosn to revive his he? He's a clone. Make another one, implant memories.

"Ben!! your alive!!" said Pete. "Kinda..." was Ben's sad response.

Ben was cool spiderman though. It was a good replacement call on Marvel's part, but I was glad when Pete took over again.

Road to Civil War, was pre-CW which had to do with CW smart guy, the Iron Spidey suit wasnt introduced until Road to Civil War, Spider-Man was the first title to start the CW crossover and it started with him getting the suit.

Spider-Man not being able to fly and shot energy blasts is a big difference, and like you said Spidey dould not tap into any computer system and satalite around the world like Tony can. Webbing is not at all an equivelant to flying, either is gliding, flying is flying, webbing and flying are not the same. The symbiote could appear out of nowhere like the Iron Spidey suit, so yes it's a coincedence. We as comic readers called him Iron Spidey, thats not what he was called in the actual comic universe.
I will tell you that he barely used his extra abilities, I've read every cossover that has to do with CW, and for all the crossovers that Spidey was involved in he really didnt use his gadgets that much at all, he rarely used his stealth or his night vision. I know you dont care for copycats like War Machine, but I'm pointing out that War Machine is copy "Iron Spider" is not. Yes he is an established character but he did not become a copycat. Those pics show him using the arms thats it, why dont you show me some pics of him using his other extra "Iron Powers"

Yea it is easy so I hope somebody brings him back.

Plus the although Iron Spider became similar to Ironman it's not like marvel made Peter identical to Tony, they are very different character-wise. So Spider-Man/Peter was not a copy of IronMan/Tony Stark.

I think it's worth neither of our time or efforts worth. We're ot convincing each other of anything. We'll save it for vs. threads. Deal?

 

[supermarvelman]

I guess so, you just know I'm right W.

If you say

 

[supermarvelman]

I do, accept defeat.

 

[Abaddon]

I liked the bigger spider, but I never cared for the half web half blue boots. That just looked stupid. Other than that it was a cool design.

Now the more I see it, the more ******ed it looks to me.

 

[slipalong]

The main thing I liked was the idea of "stingers" (NOT from "the other") but the tranq darts devised by Ben Reilly.

And for that matter, impact webbing. They were bloody cool, and seemed to me to be a natural progression in spidey's arsenal.

They should've stayed IMO.

Never!t:

 

[blud_knight]

eh, he always ends up in the old suit sooner or later. he could wear a donkey costume for a while, but it will never stick.

Heh, remember that Fantastic Four suit with a paper bag?
