That was a few years ago, and now he’s very much back to being a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, but this is what it was like:
He still kept his identity secret.(Claimed that Spider-Man was his bodyguard, of all things)
Was always in over his head.
Really, it was like Spider-Man but with a lot more resources at his disposal.
But the thing about Spider-Man is that he’s always been everyone’s superhero. The point is that he’s like a normal guy. So him being like Tony Stark goes against everything he’s always stood for. To compare it to DC, it would be like Clark Kent becoming Batman. Inconceivable.
It is worth mentioning that the circumstances leading up to the creation of Parker Industries were quite... unusual. I won’t get too into it, but basically Otto Octavius possessed Peter Parker’s body. Coincidentally, the new suit Pete designed in FFH was quite close in design to the one Otto designed for himself as the “Superior Spider-Man”, with black details instead of blue, and the fingerless-glove look on the hands.
I’ve already mentioned that I don’t like where they’re going with the Tom Holland Spider-Man franchise, and I think Spider-Man being so tied to the Avengers is part of it. I’ll stop now, but feel free to ask me things. Especially if you’re curious about anything from Spider-Verse.
