Superior Spider-Man's Suit

When Otto Octavius took over Peter Parker's body, he decided to take over Peter's role as a superhero. As such, he redesigned the original Spider-Man costume, switching the blue to black and altering the design of the back spider logo, belt, gloves, boots and mask, and a more goggle-like design for the mask lenses.

After the original was ravaged in battling the Spider Slayer,^[1] Octavius redesigned the costume again, distancing himself further from Peter's classic design.^[2]

Upon the death of Otto Octavius and return of Peter Parker, with the newer suit heavily damaged, this suit was replaced by the more classic uniform once more.^[3]

A replica of both the first and second versions of the suit could be seen among the storage of suits, found in Peter's personal lab at Parker Industries.^[4] Later, Peter donned a further upgraded version of this suit to use in his vendetta against Itsy Bitsy.^[5] Doctor Octopus would later create a replica of the second version of the suit, reclaiming his alias as the Superior Spider-Man.^[6] When he returned to being Doctor Octopus, he got rid of his heroic attire, tossing it in a trash can.^[7] Otto later either required the suit or made a new version. When Anna Maria Marconi was kidnapped by Supernova, Otto gave the suit to Peter Parker and insisted he use it to save her.^[8]

Features[]

First Version[]

• Carbonadium: Octavius had added some carbonadium plating on the back of the mask to protect him from any potential mind-swap.^[9]
• Talons: Octavius had added retractable sharp talons on his hands and feet, which he uses in combat against his enemies. The talons can also be used to inject nano-spiders-tracers with a GPS and listening device.^[10]
• Enhanced Lenses: Octavius had also added HUD and tracking abilities added to the lenses of his mask. Damage to the mask makes the lenses darken, as if the systems shut down.^[10] The lenses were also capable of detecting radio waves, which was used by Octavius to track down wired explosives. They emitted a purplish glow when in use.^[11]
• Spider Button: Octavius has also turned the spider symbol on his chest into a button that can be used to activate traps for his enemies.^[12]

Second Version[]

The second version of the suit included the same features as the previous model, with the additions/upgrades of:

• Enhanced Lenses: The lenses are now black in color.^[2]
• Spider-Arms: Four mechanical spider-arms used for combat. They are seemingly based off of the spider-arms from the Iron Spider Armor ^[2] and/or Octavius' own arms.

• Special Wrist Device: The suit features a special built-in communication device that can be used to exchange calls or to activate/control nano-spider tracers injected in a person's body.^[2][13] In preparation for his fight against Agent-Venom, Spider-Man swapped out the old design for an upgrade specifically tailored to combating the Symbiote. Which possess all of the previous models old functionality while sporting newer ones like flamethrowers and sonic webbing.^[14]
• Talons: Carried over from his previous attire, being retractable but slightly larger and still possessing nano-spider injection ports, which have been modified to detonate, causing both paralysis and great pain.^[13]
• A.I.: The suit possesses an artificial intelligence which is capable of making the suit walk by itself when Octavius is not using it to clean itself and avoid contact with other people or security cameras.^[15]

Third Version[]

In order to convey his more aggressive mindset towards Itsy Bitsy, Peter further upgraded the version of this costume that he had in his possession and decided to use it to kill her once and for all. He also changed the lenses back to white, and added back the red gloves and boots motif of his usual outfit.^[5] The suit has an alternative name of "Heavy Assault costume".^[16] Noticeable upgrades included:

• Spider-Arms: The spider-arms on Otto's version of the suit were upgraded to include a secondary claw on each arm. Furthermore, Peter added the ability to shoot lasers from the arms, comparing their power output to a "shoulder-mounted power plant" which could dissect things at an atomic level.^[5]
• Web Wings: Peter added web wings to the suit, likely to help it glide more accurately.^[5]
• Laser Beams: In addition to the lasers in the spider-arms, there were separate laser units that could shoot more focused lasers.^[5]
• Nerve Hacking Technology: Peter added technology that could wirelessly stimulate the nervous system - he used it to beam a message into Deadpool's aural nerve.^[5]
