00:00Why are Spider-Man Noir's webs different from those of the traditional Spider-Man?
00:03It all began when he was bitten by an arachnid creature completely different from the one that
00:07transformed Peter Parker into Spider-Man. In the series, Ben Reilly ended up being
00:11attacked by a failed human experiment that had transformed into a mutant spider-like creature.
00:15And that changed absolutely everything. When Peter Parker gained his powers,
00:19his body practically evolved into a perfect version of itself.
00:22His nearsightedness disappeared, his muscles grew larger, and his reflexes became faster.
00:26Even small spikes appeared on his hands. However, things were completely different for Ben Reilly.
00:30Instead of evolving, he began to undergo a terrifying biological transformation.
00:34After the bite, Ben developed traits that were far more arachnid than human.
00:38He not only gained strength and the ability to climb walls, but he also began producing
00:41webs organically. And this is where one of the strangest differences between him and Peter
00:45Parker appears. While Peter's webs are clean and practically dry, Ben's webs have a much more
00:49organic and dirty appearance. This happens because his body developed a specialized organ
00:53designed to produce natural arachnid fluid. In fact, after the mutation, a huge opening appeared
00:58in his wrist, used specifically to release these webs. And even after partially healing,
01:02that structure remained part of his body. Meanwhile, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man never
01:06displayed any visible structure in his wrists, and his webs simply seemed to appear out of nowhere.
01:10Because of the mutation, Ben Reilly suffered from uncontrollable spasms, triggered automatic
01:15defensive reflexes whenever he was injured, and displayed animalistic instincts that were
01:18impossible to control. And the most frightening part is that this also affected his powers.
01:22Both Peter and Spider-Man Noir have temporarily lost control of their abilities at different times.
01:27However, Peter had to confront all of his psychological traumas before regaining his powers,
01:31unlike Noir, who could return to normal shortly afterward. In addition, his webs were extremely
01:35durable and even capable of conducting electricity. It's also worth remembering that Spider-Man Noir's
01:40spider-sense was far more advanced. While Peter can usually only detect nearby dangers,
01:44Ben was capable of activating a sort of detective mode, allowing him to predict future events and
01:49do safe combinations using his sensory abilities. In the end, this explains why Ben Reilly seems much
01:53more like a mutant creature than a traditional Spider-Man. After all, he wasn't bitten by an
01:58ordinary spider, but by a biological abomination with a human face.
