Spider-Man: Homecoming - 11 Things From The Comic You Need To Know

9. The Black Suit

Rather excitingly, Homecoming saw the debut of Spider-Man's new sleek black suit. Confusingly - since Secret Wars was actually published after it - there was no hint of where it actually came from, but it meant there was room in the story to see Spidey coming to terms with new, exotic powers.

The suit is introduced when Spidey damages his normal suit in battle and wrongly trusts what he for some reason thinks is a cosmic fabric machine. Even when a ball of goo engulfs him and turns into the suit, he doesn't seem all that scared.

How It Would Work In The Film

There's surely very little chance we're going to see the black suit debut so early in Marvel's stewardship of the Spidey franchise. That sort of shark jumping would usually be reserved for DC movies...

In all probability, the script will retain the sequences from the comic that see Spidey exploring the new powers and capabilities afforded by his new suit. After all, if rumours are to be believed, the suit we've already seen in the second Civil War trailer will be an upgrade given to Peter Parker by Tony Stark (hence the techy augmentations). So Spidey will need some time to grow into it.

That will also mean Marvel get a levelling up element to the plot without having to go through the whole origin story that Kevin Feige seems to have no desire to revisit again.
