Spider-Man: The Iron Costume

I'll say the same thign as I did on CBR when this topic arose. Bulletproof? BULLETPROOF?! One of the few heroes in comics that actually, realistically, takes damage and now he's bulletproof. He can see in the dark. He can sense the things that go bump nearby. He can form wood-looking stingers from his wrists. And now he has a suit that makes him bulletproof, gives him the ability to glide (how? those "wings" are so tiny), visual aids, police broadcast wire-in, and some weird tentacle things that come from this thing on his back. It was bad enough when they gave him organic webbing (don't you have to grow new organs for that?). I'm just gald that he won't be wearing this "Iron Spider" suit all the time.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Keep in mind, though, he'll still be wearing the regular one on occassion. Although Marvel hasn't yet made it clear why he'll be wearing two different costumes, they say that artists drawing him either way is intentional. I'm sure it has something to do with the Civil War.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm not too young, or I at least have read things with/about the Spider-Buggy. Man, that was a horrible idea. I think it was used in a Spidey-Torch crossover and, more recently, in one of the Marvel Age stories.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
