Spider Island question

[TheboyinShadows]

I was wondering why Spidey doesn't use his stealth suit
I'm sure he could beat all the spider-powered people in the city
if he combined his new training with his suit

Explanation anyone? Just curious

Avengers told Spider-Man to not join the fight against the people powered with Spider powers.

Maybe they're saving the suit for a future storyline ? Just a guess

I know about that. I was thinking an invisible Spider-Man could kick the snot out of all the others in no time.
I don't like it when Peter doesn't use his tools at max.
Not that leading an army of spiderpowered citizens isn't a good plan too.

Well, one could probably argue that said suit was in Horizon Labs, and Peter didn't think he could get to it and back in time to make a difference.

But since this was the issue where Peter was a whiny half-wit, I think that'd be giving him too much credit.

But you've got a valid point. If Peter was never intended to use that suit again, and it was only a plot point to show what Pete could accomplish given the right resources, then it would have made a lot more sense for the Hobgoblin to have trashed it during their encounter. Same with the new spider armor.

Maybe he figures that suit wouldn't do much good against an army of spider-people, all of whom have a spider-sense.

I think the Punisher pretty well proved that spider sense doesn't mean jack if you don't know how to use it.

Wait a sec... doesn't reverbium or whatever it was called negate spider-sense?


Just a thought, but that may be part of our solution to the spider problem. Not exactly a deus ex machina, as it was introduced in what was basically the first act. That said, the only superhero plots not finished with a touch of deus ex machina are the ones that end with pure beatings, so it's not like the DEM is that much of a cop out. If anything, coming up with a good one is the better ending.
