In the recent installments of Marvel Comics, Miles Morales Spider-Man undergoes a major suit enhancement to confront a formidable adversary. In “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” #7, our hero is bestowed with his very own Iron Spider suit, gifted by none other than Tony Stark himself.
The iconic Iron Spider armor first appeared in “The Amazing Spider-Man” #529, created by J. Michael Straczynski and Ron Garney. Iron Man gifted Peter Parker with this cutting-edge suit in this storyline, providing him with advanced nano-technology and three formidable spider-arms. The “Iron Spider” costume became one of Spider-Man’s most formidable and versatile outfits, surpassing his original suit in power. Over time, Peter would pass on the suit to other characters, including Mary Jane Watson. In the live-action realm, the Iron Spider armor made its debut in the Tom Holland-led “Spider-Man” trilogy, notably showcased during “Avengers: Infinity War.” Similar to its comic counterpart, the MCU version of the armor bestowed Spider-Man with abilities resembling those of Iron Man, enabling him to navigate space and confront stronger adversaries.
In the latest development, Miles Morales is set to don his own Iron Spider armor as he prepares to face off against the formidable Cletus Kasady.
How Miles Morales got his Iron Spider suit
In the thrilling issue #7 of “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” by Cody Ziglar, Federico Vicentiini, Bryan Valenza, and VC’s Cory Petit, Spider-Man confronts the formidable Cletus Kasady, who has harnessed the power of the Extrembiote. Infused with Stark Tech and a symbiote dragon from the “King in Black” event, Kasady has transformed into an armored symbiote and unleashed chaos upon New York City. With the city’s inhabitants falling under his control, Spider-Man joins forces with Red Goblin and a group of unlikely allies to put an end to Kasady’s reign of terror. Despite facing overwhelming odds, Spider-Man refuses to back down, determined to protect his city at all costs.
In an intense showdown, Kasady’s formidable Extrembiote proves too much for Scorpion, Taskmaster, and Electro, incapacitating them. He was left to confront the villain, Miles Morales teams up with the speedy Hightail to put an end to Kasady’s rampage. Just as Kasady sets his sights on eliminating the duo, Iron Man makes a dramatic entrance, utilizing his advanced technology to counter his own creation. Tony Stark confronts Kasady, revealing that he anticipated his return with the Extrembiote and prepared accordingly.
During the heated battle, Iron Man delivers what appears to be a fatal blow to Kasady, but to everyone’s surprise, the villain survives and impales Spider-Man with one of his tendrils. To save Miles’ life, Stark employs nanites that create a protective “cast” around his wound, healing him in the process and transforming him into a new Iron Spider suit.
Cletus Kasady’s final stand is about to begin
As the “Carnage Reigns” crossover nears its conclusion, the challenges continue to mount for Miles. The preview of “Carnage Reigns: Omega” #1 hints at Cletus Kasady finally obtaining what he desires, setting the stage for yet another upgrade to his Extrembiote armor. Spider-Man and Iron Man find themselves facing the daunting task of preventing Kasady from seizing control of Earth, a task that won’t be easily accomplished.
As Kasady relentlessly pursues control over his world using the Extrembiote, the Carnage symbiote has its own ambitions—to become the next King in Black in the Marvel Universe. The ongoing events in the “Carnage Reigns” crossover and the current “Venom” series set the stage for the upcoming “Death of the Venomverse.” In this comic, Carnage continues to enhance his power by absorbing abilities from other villains across the universe and even beyond. His ultimate goal is to become the sole surviving symbiote in the Multiverse, leading him on a destructive path through time and space. Spider-Man will require all the assistance he can gather to confront the relentless threat of Cletus Kasady and the unstoppable force of Carnage. The Iron Spider armor proves to be a valuable asset in their battle against this formidable duo.
The highly anticipated debut of Miles Morales’ Iron Spider armor is now available in “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” #7 by Marvel Comics. Fans can find this exciting issue in comic book stores and online retailers.
