This week’sRavencroft#5 realise Norman Osborn and the Kingpin struggle to reclaimthe Ravencroft Institutefrom a horde of monsters . Scorpio had been recruited as stave at Ravencroft by Osborn , and it seems he ’s developed a sophisticated new lawsuit for Scorpio . It ’s only shown in the desktop of a few panels in the comic , but it really is the most formidable acclivity Mac Gargan has ever had .
It seems Scorpion no longer has a mere combat suit ; rather , he has a scrap unit of his own . This is accommodate from the engineering science of Spencer Smythe , who create a sophisticated hover - chair for his crippled son . Alistair Smythegradually upgraded the hover - chair to contain defensive systems and even laser , but now it ’s been turned into a full - fledge warfare automobile . Scorpion ’s version is decidedly on - brand name , although amusingly it ’s equip with only six legs rather than eight . It has a massive , pliable tail that can pip sinewy energy blasts , and there are four more laser weapons put in into it as well . Presumably this was design by Osborn , a genius who - while no rival to Tony Stark - is withal one of Marvel ’s smartest villains .

This is a perfect instance ; Scorpio the Scorpion has had such a coolheaded acclivity , and yet it ’s a background part of the issue , and the full potential of the Scorpion tactical unit of measurement is never realized . Hopefully it wo n’t be long before reader get to see just what the new Scorpion can do ; solicits have suggested Spider - Man himself will soon be consign to Ravencroft Institute for as yet unknown reasons . It would be big to see this upgraded Scorpio go nous - to - top dog with Spider - Man - forcing Peter Parker to count upon his brains rather than his brawn .
