Starting with the Anti-Villain Suits, these are not simply advanced pieces of clothing, but rather Peter Parker’s ingenious response to the growing gallery of super-powered adversaries he faces daily.
The first of these costumes appeared in the comics in ‘Amazing Fantasy #15’, released in 1962.
Designed by Steve Ditko, the costume is a piece used to appear on TV, in addition to several other costumes that appeared throughout the comics to fight enemies apparently stronger than him.

Another resource that has not yet found space in films is the iconic Spider-Motorcycle. This agile, high-speed vehicle was first introduced in ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Vol 1 #130.
Spider-Motor allows Spider-Man to expand his mobility on city streets, providing a unique approach to fighting crime.
In addition to offering tactical advantages, Spider-Motorcycle is a striking example of Peter Parker’s ability to adapt.
3. Spider robots

The Spider-Robots, in turn, were created by Doctor Octopus, when he took over Peter Park’s consciousness, generating countless spider-robots to watch over the city and keep him informed about everything that happened in the city.
Although these elements have not yet found their way into film adaptations of Spider-Man, his presence in the comics shows the wealth of details that surround the character’s universe, offering countless possibilities for future exploratory narratives in the arachnid hero’s films.
