Damn that’s apt. Peter Parker inherits the suit in Secret Wars 8, dons it in the canon in Amazing 252. Parker learns the suit addles his brain, wages war on his identity, relegates the symbiote. The symbiote then takes on a new host.
Another reader,
“The Alien Costume” where the said phenomenon debuts is the most memorable American superhero story I’ve ever watched.
A people that aren’t willing to protect their homeland from invasion deserve to die.
A people that actively encourage the invasion of their homeland deserve much worse.
