Spider-Armor

Origin

Spider-Armor MK I

When the New Enforcers Attacked New York, Spider-Man needed to develop a costume to use against their high-caliber weapons. He developed the Spider-Armor at Empire State University. The Costume slowed him down but it allowed him to be bullet proof. During the battle it was destroyed by acid.

Spider-Armor MK II

Peter worked in the Horizon Labs creates version 2.0 of his Spider-Armor to compensate for the loss of his Spider-Sense, without this ability he can be easily wounded by bullets.

Notes

• The suit is equipped with magnetic webbing which blocks out all radio frequencies, or at least severely interferes with them. The web also originates from the forearm instead of the wrist.
• Appears to be able to withstand a direct impact from a grenade launcher without any obvious harm coming to the wearer. It is also fully capable of deflecting bullets, though Spider-Man expressed discomfort in being hit.

Appearances in Other Media
