Synopsis:
The Heroes are finally regrouping to rescue She Hulk in Doombase while She Hulk herself is taking a severe beating. The ensuing battle leaves many heroes costumes in tatters. After Thor (having lost his cape and helmet) walked into the room into which the triumphant heroes are resting, with new gear, Spider-Man realizes that he should do the same thing. Hulk (Banner) informs Spidey that a machine that reassembles costumes and other forms of garbs is in the other room. Unbeknown to the Web-head he accidentally used the wrong machine and thus the Black Costume is born! After the symbiote is done shifting onto Spidey, Professor X informs the Heroes that Galactus is about to devour the planet!!!

Trivia:
- This is the first appearance of the Alien Symbiote that will become Venom.
- The black costume was created for this issue because Marvel was in litigation over the copyrights for the original costume. Between Secret Wars 8 and Amazing Spiderman #300 the black costume was used to fill in the gap for the red and blues.
