Is Spider-Man's Suit Actually His True Form?

After hearing the answer, Doctor Strange and pietro exchanged surprised glances. Meanwhile, Peter looked like he was about to cry. "Ah! Does that mean all the people on that ferry…"

Stephen shook his head. "Let's watch the follow-up video. I feel like this question shouldn't have been answered wrong."

The light screen soon displayed the correct answer video. In the footage, Spider-Man was shown desperately trying to pull the split ferry together. But with his current strength, he couldn't prevent the inevitable collapse of the ferry.

The passengers screamed in panic as seawater poured into the cabin. Just as the ferry was about to sink into the ocean, Spider-Man noticed that the unstable ferry was gradually steadying.

Looking around, he saw a familiar figure outside the ferry—it was Iron Man, here to clean up his mess again!

As a seasoned superhero who'd saved the world multiple times, Iron Man handled the crisis with unmatched expertise. His armor increased thrust power, and small robots flew out one after another, sticking to the fractured ferry and working alongside him. In mere moments, with cheers from the passengers, the ferry was restored to its original state.

Spider-Man let out a sigh of relief. When he saw Iron Man flying off, he hurriedly followed, asking if there was anything he could do to help.

At this point, Peter was like an outsider who desperately wanted to contribute but couldn't find a way to. Iron Man, uninterested in his eagerness, quickly welded the cracks in the ferry shut. Before leaving, he simply said, "You've done enough."

Though the crisis was averted, Peter didn't feel any joy. Instead, he became even more disheartened. As someone aspiring to be a hero, his repeated failures had taken a toll on his confidence.

Later that evening, he sat atop a tall building, legs swinging as he removed his mask, his expression filled with loneliness and confusion.

At that moment, Iron Man flew over and, without any hesitation, began to scold him. "Last time you messed up, I thought I could just ignore it. The truth is, this suit of yours is worth millions, but you hacked into its system to do things I specifically told you not to do!"

Peter's face fell, and he turned away to ask quietly, "Is everyone okay?"

Iron Man snapped, "All thanks to you."

That single sentence made Peter explode with frustration. He jumped down and shouted, "All thanks to me? Someone's out there selling those dangerous weapons. I've been telling you about it, but you wouldn't listen! None of this would've happened if you had listened to me. If you really cared about me, you'd show up yourself!"

It was clear Peter was acting out. His recent string of failures had pushed him to his breaking point. Confronting Iron Man, his emotions boiled over.

The last time Iron Man had saved him, it had been through remote-controlled armor. This left Peter feeling slighted.

At his age, it was normal to crave recognition and care—especially for someone like Peter, who had lost his parents. Unconsciously, he had started seeing Tony Stark as a father figure, making him yearn even more for that fatherly attention.

Of course, from an outsider's perspective, Iron Man had already done more than enough for Peter, treating him like a true protégé.

Especially when viewed from an omniscient perspective, it was clear Iron Man was constantly cleaning up after Peter and saving him from his mistakes. Peter's rebellion came off as immature and ungrateful.

The irony of Peter's outburst was that, just as he complained about Tony not showing up in person, Iron Man's armor opened up to reveal Tony Stark himself in a suit, standing face-to-face with him.

This time, Tony really had come personally. He stared Peter down and said, "Who do you think called the FBI? Do you have any idea that I'm the only one who trusts you? Everyone else said I was crazy for recruiting a 14-year-old kid!"

"I'm 15," Peter muttered under his breath.

Tony immediately raised his voice. "Shut up! Kids don't interrupt adults when they're talking! What if someone had died today? It would've been an entirely different situation, right? And it would've been your fault! And if you had died, it would've been mine! I don't want that on my conscience!"

Outside the video, Doctor Strange smirked. "Who would've thought he could talk so much when lecturing a kid? But that brings us back to the question—why did we get it wrong? The ferry was fixed, and no one got hurt."

Pietro, who wasn't a fan of Iron Man, raised an eyebrow. "Tony Stark is always so full of himself. Annoying. But we got it wrong because the question wasn't about whether the ferry was fixed; it was about whether Peter could save it on his own. Clearly, in that video, without Iron Man's intervention, he couldn't have done it."

Doctor Strange shook his head. "Either way, the guy hogged the spotlight again. Hey, Peter, stop sulking. Look at the version of you in the video—you've got guts!"

In the video, Peter, despite being berated by Tony, still mustered the courage to express his thoughts. "I… I know saying sorry isn't enough. But I just want to be like you."

For once, Tony Stark showed a rare hint of paternal sternness as he looked at Peter with an expectant gaze. "I want you to be better than me."

This only made Peter feel worse. Overwhelmed with guilt, he averted his gaze, unable to meet Tony's eyes.

Tony made a decision. "Alright, enough talk. I'm taking back the suit."

The Spider-Man suit Peter wore had been created and gifted by Tony. Since he'd given it to Peter, he could also take it back. This wasn't just a punishment for Peter's mistakes; it was also a form of protection. After all, they couldn't always count on Tony to arrive in time to save him.

Peter was stunned for a moment before instinctively asking how long the suit would be confiscated.

Tony didn't hold back. "Forever."

Peter, already at a low point after his recent failures, couldn't accept this punishment. Desperate, he pleaded, "No, no, no, please, Mr. Stark! This suit is all I have! Without it, I'm nothing."

The truth was, Peter had only just begun mastering the advanced features of the high-tech suit. Now that it was being taken away, it felt like losing a part of himself.

But, as the video revealed, Peter had become overly dependent on the suit.
