While embroiled in a major crossover storyline fighting
the Secret Wars on an alien planet, Spider-Man acquired
an alien costume. It responded to his thoughts, was able
to mimic street clothes and seemed to provide an inexhaustible
supply of webbing. Unfortunately, once on Earth, Spider-Man
learned that the costume was in fact a sentient symbiote,
that desired to fuse permanently with Spider-Man. With
the aid of Mister Fantastic, Spider-Man managed to have
the costume removed. The costume made one more attempt
to bond itself to Spider-Man but was forcibly rejected.
Weakened by the rejection, the costume slithered away,
presumably to die.
