With the recent identity of Superior Spider-Man revealed it reminded me of something from the final arc of the 90's Spidey cartoon. In the episodes The Beyonder and Madame Web summon Spider-Men from different dimensions. Oddly enough one of them had Dr Octopus' tech and was using it in conjunction with his powers. I figured he was based on an existing alternate universe Spider-Man since the Scarlet Spider was in this episode but I can't seem to pin point any version of Peter Parker that had this sort of costume other than Civil War Spidey and quite possibly the upcoming Superior Spider-Man. Now this could be a complete coincidence (which it most undoubtedly is) but at the time I remember thinking about the implications behind the design of this particular Peter Paker.
The only thing this Spider-Man said about the arms was that they were a "souvenir" from his last fight with Doc Ock. He said it in a extremely sly manner so in retrospect it feels there was something sinister behind his story. Anyway it seemed like a version of Spidey that operated on a more efficient approach to crime. Such as adopting the technology of his greatest foes to become a better hero. I could be wrong but it seems like the same approach the Superior Spider-Man will take in his future crusade against crime. Yes I know I'm crazy. Just have a look at what I'm talking about.
