7. Stealth Costume

When Dan Slott took over as the sole writer on Amazing Spider-Man in 2010, there was a renewed focus on Peter Parker€™s scientific aptitude and inventiveness. Remember, Peter is the same guy who developed one of the greatest superhero accessories in comic book history, Spidey€™s web shooters. During the €œBig Time€ storyline, Peter is hired by the fictitious Horizon Labs, and immediately utilizes the resources at the facility to develop innovative technology, including a new stealth costume that features cloaking and sound-canceling abilities.

As is often the case, necessity proves to be the mother of invention. Peter develops the stealth suit (which first appears in Amazing Spider-Man #650) to defend himself against the brand new Hobgoblin, who had been taking down opponents using a €œsonic scream.€

After €œBig Time,€ the suit resurfaces during €œSpider Island,€ when Peter€™s clone Kaine dons the stealth costume in order to combat the Spider Queen. Kaine periodically wore the stealth suit in his own solo series, Scarlet Spider, which was cancelled in 2013.
