4) The Spider Signal
Speaking of Spidey, Civil War is packed with nods to the character. Apart from the allusions to familiar parts of Spidey lore like the ‘With Great Responsibility’ speech and Uncle Ben’s death, a couple more obscure ones are snuck in, too.
The fact that Spidey’s suit is designed by Tony Stark is inspired by how Tony invents a new high-tech costume for Peter in the Civil War comic; a gold and yellow look known as the ‘Iron Spider’ outfit.
[zergpaid]Also, in a post-credits scene, Peter discovers that Stark has also made him a spider symbol which projects from his web shooters. This is something new to the films, but a favourite gadget of Parker’s in the comics – something he often uses to disorientate or incapacitate criminals.
Lastly, during the airport fight scene, Spidey lifts up a boarding gate with great effort. This will remind fans of a very similar visual from 1966’s iconic The Amazing Spider-Man #33.
