    SpiderMan Comic Fans...

    Check out the new SpiderMan costume/armor. Design by Iron man.

    The eyepieces in the suit can allow him to zoom in to objects at a reasonable distance and can record what they see; it's returned the webbing beneath his arms (which can come and go) and gives him the ability to glide for very short distances (as many spiders can glide on air currents). It has reinforced body armor, a GPS system, a built in communications system, and the arms can extend or retract from a system on his back. They can look around corners so that he can see the image in his eyepieces, much as army personnel now have video cameras that can look around corners, handle delicate work, and they can be used somewhat in a fight, but not a lot because they're not really meant for that.






    After the shocking events in "The Other" storyline, Peter recieves this new costume to help him adjust to his newest developments, as well as giving him some added muscle! Designed by Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada, this new design has a few tricks up its sleeve. "The Iron Spider design- as I like to call it- came to me during a Spider-Man story meeting we were having, we were talking and I was involuntarily sketching on a pad. It's inspired by a sketch that Chris Bachalo did that showed a new Spidey costume with <CLASSIFIED>. I thought that was brilliant, especially since it echoed one of Spidey's greatest villains, and I took the idea and imagined it as though seeing it through the eyes of Tony Stark. The sky's the limit with respect to gadgetry when it comes to Tony inspired costumes."

    Every "gift" has its cost, and this new look for Spidey will signal the beginnings of change, especially as it comes on the eve of the upcoming Civil War. Spider-Man has developed a growing trust and friendship with Iron Man, but how much in debt is Peter’s loyalty to Tony Stark going to cost him in the long run? If the color scheme is any indication, well... Joe Quesada says, "I imagined Tony presenting Peter with the new suit and Peter putting it on and saying that it looks great but that his colors are red and blue. Tony would simply respond, ‘My design, my colors!’"
    ________

    You've seen the previews of the new suit; now see Spider-Man put his new costume into action. This is no mere fashion change either; as the costume is actually an armor equipped with several pieces of advanced weaponry, including pincer claws and many others surprises. The best part of all is that Peter is going to be getting accustomed to his new armor on the fly, surprising his foes, readers, and even himself with the suit's capabilities.

    SpiderMan has evolved. His own personal powers are greater strength, greater speed & greater spider sense. He makes his own webbing and it's stronger. He can use his webbing to "feel" things around him, like a real spider does. His he****g has increased to. SpiderMan is a member of the New Avengers and Iron Man designed "Spider Armor" for him.

    I dont like it... Spiderman doesnt need a new suit, or new powers. I got out of spiderman 5-6 years ago, when they reset the whole series and dropped 2 of the 4 comics (fantastic, sensational, amazing, and whatever else it was).

    I'm not happy with the armor but the new spider powers are cool. He makes his own web has talons that come out of his forearm and elbow. Faster reflexes and venom.

    Part of the armor thing is to tie Spiderman to Tony Stark and it kicks off the civil war. During a fight when Spiderman is still learning how to use his armor an innocent bystander is accidentally killed. Spiderman gets arrested and the US government passes a super hero registration act. All super heroes have to unmask and register with the government. This leads to civil war where some heroes agree and some do not. Wolverine also plays a big part in the cross over.

    I prefer the older suit and mask. The new one is a bit OTT imo.

    I like his suit. I know he was always in the mix with the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. He wanted in but didn't. He always changed his mind.

    Yup. They were debating between Nick Cage and Tom. Nick went off to start production of Ghost Rider so Tom looks like the prime candidate for Iron Man.

    I'd rather Tom then Leo DeCaprio. He was another contender. GLAD HE's ****ing OUT!
