History[]

Avengers The Initiative Vol 1 7 Textless

The Scarlet Spiders

Earth-616[]

The Iron Spider Armor was given to Peter Parker by Tony Stark during the Spider-Man: The Other storyline.

Peter Parker used this costume primarily during the Civil War while he was on the side of the Initiative.

The armor was abandoned when Parker joined the Secret Avengers.

Iron Spider Armor II

Three duplicates of the armor were created for the members of the Scarlet Spiders. Only one of these duplicate armors escaped destruction during the Skrull Invasion.

Following the deaths of Michael and Van, Patrick is now the only individual to currently use this armor as the Scarlet Spider.

It was later revealed that Tony Stark had kept a copy of the armor. When he and Peter Parker were captured by the Regent, and Jarvis was unable to contact any other heroes because Regent had already defeated them all, Mary Jane Watson, who is currently employed by Stark, has the idea to search through boxes that had been packed up when Stark sold Avengers Tower. She found the Iron Spider armor and used it to rescue Tony and Peter. The three then defeated Regent and freed the other heroes.

A weapons dealer named Ceres was able to obtain a copy of the Iron Spider armor and she redesigned it with a sleek black-and-gold color scheme with a new stylized spider-emblem. She also upgraded its weaponry, including new electroshock blasters in the mechanical spider-legs. It was purchased from her and then worn by Aaron Davis.

Iron Spider Cho

Iron Man created the Iron Spider armor (pictured right), based off of his own armor's specs, for Spider-Man after being impressed by the way he battled the Living Laser.

Spider-Man had a hard time using the armor at first due to it being designed for Iron Man's fighting style and not his. Spider-Man then tweaked the armors specs to fit his style and had better success in subsequent battles against the Living Laser and Doctor Octopus.

Currently, the armor is owned by Amadeus Cho.

Features[]

Fabricated with advanced protein-scale nano-technology and exotic materials handling, LEP skin display, impact sensing armor integrated life support and all-spectrum communications powered by a hybrid opto-electronic computer and using super conducting, high performance plastic throughout, the Iron Spider Armor is truly one of greatest armors Tony Stark has ever created (and Peter's most functional costume).

The Scarlet Spiders' duplicate armors had several weapons built into them, such as pulse cannons and repulsor grenades.

  • Spinneret/Stinger Access Ports: Through development of nano-crystal growth topology, this suit grow numerous configurations. It allows full interface from any surface, independent of occupant when necessary, and due to this design ports auto dilate to allow organics to pass. This includes Spider-Man's natural Webbing and Stingers.
  • Waldoes: The Iron Spider Armor possessed three mechanical spider-arms, or "waldoes," created from rapidly grown mono-atomic iron alloy crystal. These could be used to see around corners (via cameras in the tips) and to manipulate objects indirectly. When in the stowed position, the arms remain within the gold "circle" on Spider-Man's back. These arms are rapidly grown at the rate of 90 inches per second, Hollow construction allows for all material to be stored within the small back-mounted pack, and the command for growth is achieved via fast neural net-detection and amplification. The waldoes even have small grippers at the tips working as pseudo fingers.
  • Glider Device: It could glide via mesh webbing on its arms. The pseudo web form is a biodegradable filament generator. This allows for controlled gliding. Near invisible gossamer filaments extend for 20 meters- rapid growth and detachment.
  • Enhanced Chestpiece: A foamed titanium nitrile fabric chestpiece has body contoured and articulated panels to support the occupant. The chestpiece contains the highest concentration of Kasimir Plate Batteries-- nano-scale power generating devices that exploit "zero point" energy. Can generate 1.2kWatts at peak demand.
  • Mask Filter: A self-cleaning electrostatic precipitation system allows for full Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Filtration. It also had an 8 minutes worth compressed air capacity, which helped in situations underwater.
  • Enhanced Lenses: The Headpiece contains large area holographic lensing to allow for long eye-relief and panoramic real-world/-time viewing. Includes several optical spectrum modes with synthesized information overlay.
  • Constituent Costume Containment: Part of the costume could detach itself to cover an object too dangerous to touch, such as a radioactive asteroid.
  • Multifunctional Layers: The Iron Spider Armor has a total of 17 layers throughout its workings, with each performing a different, separate and important function.
    • Transpirable Teflon-Based Temperature Control: Controls the Internal Temperature of the Wearer.
    • Moisture Pump: Occupant Cooling.
    • Conductivity Control: Low Infrared Signature.
    • Sensor Layer: Able to transmit data from kinisthetic analysis of occupant.
    • Repair Layer: Self-repair/limited mechanical repair. Also first aid with limited external first aid.
    • Musculature Motility Layer: Follows occupant's motion.
    • Communications: All band tranceiving GPS/Microwave including ELF.Impact Layer: National Institute of Justice Threat Level III Resistant. Heat-resistant Kevlar micro-fiber stops small arms fire.
    • Shear Detection: Spidey to see in the infrared and ultraviolet portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
    • Antenna: Fractal design allows for simultaneous wavelength propagation. Allows for "speed of thought" suit control. Also allowed Spider-Man to listen to police, fire and/or emergency broadcasts.
    • Synthetic Aperture Camera Layer: Stores Cameras Optical to RADAR.
    • Light Emitting Plastic Layer: Allows for camouflage (but the darker the surface that spider-man blends to the better the the camouflage) and also allows spider-man to change the colour and style of his suit (e.g. he change it to the symbiote suit's colour as well as the normal red and blue.)
    • Diamond Nitrile Overcoat: Epitaxially deposited in chain mesh form; Transparent to Spider Effect and allow for normal surface adhesion method.

  • The Iron Spider suit (also known as the Avengers Suit) briefly first appeared in Homecoming (2017), which didn't look much like the comic version. This suit design was based on Ben Reilly’s Spider-Man costume, with the addition of golden trim.
    • Peter Parker wore the Iron Spider armor in Avengers: Infinity War (2018). It still retain Irons Spider’s trademark mechanical legs, along with other original features, such as illuminated blue eye-lenses when suited up. Unfortunately, the suit was destroyed along with Peter himself when the heroes failed to stop Thanos from collecting the Infinity Stones and wiping the half of lives in the universe.
    • It re-appeared along with Peter in Avengers: Endgame (2019).
    • Peter wore the suit for a few scenes in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
    • The suit appeared once again in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where it was destroyed by Doctor Octopus. The nanotech from the suit was absorbed by Otto's arms. The nanotech was eventually given back to Peter, but as he wasn't wearing the Iron Spider armor, the nanotech transformed the Upgraded Suit, into the Integrated/Hybrid Suit. Peter eventually stopped using his Stark Suits, including the Iron Spider Armor, opting to craft a new homemade suit.
