I wonder how they're going to incorperate the finding of the "alien symbiont suit"? If indeed, that's what it is in the movie.

Does anyone remember reading the comics when they were kids? Originally, the black suit came from the Secret Wars mini-series. He got the suit from a piece of alien machinery found by Mr. Fantastic that generated items by thought. His original suit was mostly shredded and he needed clothes. He was thinking about it by the machine and *plop*, it dropped out the black blob that becomes the suit. It's actually an alien organism that forms a symbiotic attachment to it's host. Since, in the comics, he uses technologic gadgets to make the his webs, the suit now provided the webs without the need for gadgets.

When all the heroes and super-villians were returned to earth, the suit starts to control him, taking control of his body while he is sleeping and messing with his mind. Through means I can't remember now, he rids himself of the suit. The alien flees and finds a new host. The new host becomes the villian "Venom".


Since I don't think they're going to do a Secret Wars recap, I wonder what the new story on the suit will be, and if it will also become "Venom"?

Wow, a fellow comic book geek. I actually stopped buying back in 1998 or 1999 due to finances, but from 1978 up till that point I was a big comic book fan. I remember the Secret Wars (and the pathetic Secret Wars 2) thus I know of the original origin of Spideys black suit. I guess they will come up with some domestic supplier (read, mad scientist, maybe Connor/The Lizard, who will make the suit but unknowlingly imbue it with some fault that makes it go sentient in a bad evil way).
