We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

A selfie? Wait, this story-line is not from 4 decades ago?! The gorilla suit screamed "old hat" to me.

Edit: That is an edit of a strip posted last page. I'm a fool.

so it is just a costume now when before it was a gorilla-shaped suit of power armor? the gorilla was inside him all along, i guess.

Buddy, it's a five million dollar suit! It's made of unstable molecules that give it the consistency of an armor when he's inside it, and the ease of folding and carrying it when he's not inside it! Science!

Ah, but it's wheeled luggage, you see, so he doesn't have to lift it (and the suit apparently folds into a much smaller package?

Hero no more?! Are we getting two "spider-man quits" storylines at the same time literally decades apart?!

I really feel for this guy. He preps a loving 5 million dollar gorilla suit for ultimate battle with spidey, and all it takes is one punch, he does the dumbest heist of all time and still gets away with it. He might as well have sat on his rear end and done it from his office like all the other billionaires

Turns out that every single instance of his Spider-Sense over the last 50+ years has been because a gorilla has been somewhere on the planet.

Much like the force is tiny bugs, spider-sense is tiny gorillas.

And Spider-Man white every other day.

I'd like it if the conclusion on this storyline is just that the billionaire gets bored, puts the gorilla suit in his garage and that's the end, no moral.

I hope this arc ends with Bates just mothballing the suit and moving on with his life. Meanwhile Peter spends the next few years looking over his shoulder for more gorilla activity.

The US military-industrial complex is missing a trick, as are the gorilla's creators. Soldiers in invincible robot gorilla suits, for only five million dollars a pop? C'mon, make it fifty million! A hundred! One billion!

One of the two owners became a supervillain, the other took on the living alien costume of another supervillain.

Not sure whether the Green Goblin or Agent Venom were swingers, though.

Uncle Ben: Still Dead.
It was a two-round battle where MechaGorilla managed to make one attack that missed, and Spider-Man fled.
While I suppose it counts as defeat, MG has no ranged attacks and never laid a hand on him. When was he supposed to unmask him?

Why would he want to mess with a superhero or villain when he got the suit to mess with spidey?
