Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Things Marvel Want You To Forget First

7. Spider-Man's "Instant Kill" Mode

When It Mattered

As part of Tony Stark's redevelopment of Peter Parker's Spider-Man suit in Spider-Man: Homecoming, he put in a Training Wheels protocol that stopped Peter from accessing all of the suits functions until he deemed him mature enough.

That wasn't a bad idea really, considering the genius inventor had FOR SOME REASON put an Instant Kill mode in there, in case a teenager he didn't trust to help him in the controlled environment of Avengers missions wanted to straight up murder people. It was basically included for a gag in the film, but there's no getting around the fact that it absolutely was supposed to be a killer mode.

But Now...

Thanks to Tom Holland (probably at the behest of his Marvel paymasters), the Instant Kill mode has already been turned into something else. He told one interviewer recently that it probably only meant an instant kill for all electricity in the vicinity (a pinch, to borrow from his co-star Don Cheadle's Ocean's Eleven appearance).

In other words, they don't want you to think about how useful an Instant Kill feature might be against Thanos or his enemies, so just forget it, okay?
