Marvel Super Heros Seceret Wars #85-Web of Spider-Man
#1
While Spider-Man and a whole bunch of his super hero pals were stranded
on a planet during the Secret
wars, his colourful spandex costume got sliced and diced. Spidey discovered
this wonderous, high-tech
costume making machine. The result: a super duper shape shifting costume
that responded to his
thoughts! It had unlimited webbing too.
Unfortunately it was discovered that the costume was in fact an alien symbiote
that was trying to take over
and permanently bond with him! Luckily, with the aid of Reed Richards, leader
of the Fantastic
Four, the costume was separated from him and contained in a special holding
cell.
The menace of the alien costume was not yet over. The costume, after escaping
from the Fantastic Four,
once again came after Spider-Man. Disguising itself as Spidey's old blue
and red duds, Peter unknowingly
put it on. In Web of Spider-Man #1, the ensuing battle for the control of
Spider-Man's body led to a conflict
above the rooftops of Manhattan.
Spidey was trying to get the symbiote to the Fantastic Four Baxter building,
while the alien was doing
everything in it's power to prevent this. Spider-Man's mission was further
complicated by the interference
of the cheap Vulture rip-offs, the Vulturions. After defeating the Vulturions,
Spidey lured the symbiote to a
church and uses the peal of the bells to disrupt the alien.
Unfortunately, Spidey sucuumbs to the bells before the costume, but before
he perished the symbiote saves
Spider-man because of the relationship developed during their attachment.
Spider-man's rejection leaves
the symbiote in a confusing love-hate relationship for the wall-crawler.
The symbiote finds a new host,
Eddie Brock, and returns to haunt him as Venom.
