The Inspiration:

• To many Spider-Man fans, Marvel's Secret Wars #8 is one of the most important comics ever published, and features the story that introduces Spidey's black costume that would eventually become Venom and the entire symbiote mythology.
• Secret Wars #8 takes place on Battleworld after Spider-Man's red-and-blue costume is badly damaged in battle. Looking for a way to repair it, Peter Parker is directed toward what he believes is a costume-making machine. Instead, he accidentally activates the wrong device, and a mysterious black substance flows over him and forms a sleek new costume.
• Peter thinks it's simply advanced alien technology. Neither he nor the readers know that the costume is actually a living extraterrestrial organism.
• A bit of trivia: readers actually saw Spider-Man wearing the black suit months earlier in The Amazing Spider-Man #252 because Marvel's monthly titles continued while Secret Wars was still being published. Secret Wars #8 later explained how he got it.
