Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Hmm, maybe the other Peter would make sense as the Raiden analogue
They were both raised as combatants and grew to overcome that while serving as heroic mercenaries.

Iron Man kills rather liberally. He assumed at some point Spidey would too.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."But that should be to Peter's discretion. And at sixteen years old, he could already murder Tony with his bare hands, even if Tony was in the suit. You don't need to give Peter a kill-mode, Peter is the kill-mode.
My various fanfics.Maybe he was going for a Gandalf style "True courage is being merciful" type thing? I also wouldn't be surprised if Tony just called it that as a troll gag.
Either way, Peter definitely wasn't meant to find out about it while still only 15.
PSN ID: FateSeraph | Switch friendcode: SW-0145-8835-0610 Congratulations! She/TheyI imagine it's there for Tony to activate on Peter's behalf if they're ever in a fight together as much as anything. Overriding control of someone else's suit to protect them as he sees fit seems very much in keeping with the kind of mentality that would think of putting a shield around the world. Tony has to do it all himself.
...Guess he has that in common with Thanos.
I can see Tony naming something as a joke, but I don't think there's any particular reason he'd hold off on adding lethal capabilities to the suit. High-tension strings wrapping around people, yanking them through the air with superstrength, frankly it'd be easier to kill someone than not.
Tony picks Peter for the Airport fight specifically because Peter can web up people. He just didn't expect that what was basically a family argument would escalate that badly. To be fair, he couldn't expect that Cap would turn up with a guy who turns giant.
And the kill mode, well Tony tends to be overprepared and it is not as if Peter is supposed to be able to access it easily

He first appeared in Iron Man but as part of a big crossover story that continued on through Captain Marvel, Avengers, and Daredevil oddly enough.
He's kind of an everyone villain, really.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersHe was created specifically to kill Thanos, using the spirit of an Earth man that Thanos killed.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersOne thing I kinda feel sad about the MCU is we won't get moments like "The Wrecker gained his power when he was mistaken for Loki and given godly powers by the Norn Queen."
Speaking of, a while back I found a Wrecking Crew feat thread. It's really, really impressive XD "Piledriver with one attack takes out Nighthawk and Dr.Strange, Bulldozer takes out Luke Cage, and Wrecker ONE SHOTS the Hulk."

I TURNED DOWN A NOBEL PRIZE IN SCHOOL, YOU KNOW - Alexander Pierce
"All you Fascists bound to lose."

Eh, that's about all they have in common and even that is questionable as To y never actually wanted Peter to fight and in Homecoming we see him try to limit how much Peter can get involved in.
There's also the little detail about how Peter doesn't kill people and how Raiden really like killing people.
