Changes to Peter Parker's Powers
Peter repeatedly blacked out, felt weak and his prowess in combat reflected such. Unfortunately the one villain he could never beat returned, more than ready to finish Parker off for good. After almost dying from his wounds in a battle against the energy vampire, Spider-Man's body underwent a metamorphosis that granted him greater power than ever before, having literally shed his skin. This status quo would be maintained throughout Civil War and the Back in Black Saga, all the way until One More Day concluded, which altered reality itself.
- Enhanced Superhuman Strength: His strength was further increased so that he could lift 20 tons.
- Enhanced Superhuman Durability, Speed, Agility, and Reflexes: In a fight against Mysterio after "The Other" arc, Spider-Man stated that he had become more durable, faster, more agile and reflexive.
- Psychological Awareness of Environment: Spider-Man's spider-sense could be used to psychologically see his surrounding environment, even when blinded or in extremely dark conditions. Spider-Man could ascertain non-threatening information, such as detecting the concealed presence of loved ones.
- Night Vision: Spider-Man's vision had been enhanced to the point that he is able to see clearly at night, or at least in very dim lighting.
- Vibration and Air Current Sense via Hair and Webbing: Spider-Man also possessed the ability to sense vibrations and currents of air transmitted on the hairs on his arm or on his web lines.
- Enhanced Regenerative Healing Factor: He gained the ability to rapidly recover from severe injuries such as broken bones and large amounts of tissue damage in a matter of hours. Ambushed by the Rhino he received heavy bodily damage, only to heal before the issue was over without medical attention. Peter was heavily beaten and drugged, suffering multiple fractures and blood loss by the Jack O' Lantern and Jester in "Civil War," yet was almost completely healed in the next issue.
- Vibration Sensation via Webbing: Spider-Man's senses evolved to the point that he was now able to sense vibrations transmitted from his webbing. Spider-Man could utilize this to find beings or objects within buildings or other places by the vibrations they emit when moving.
- Hibernation Healing: Spider-Man entered a state of dormancy and shed his skin and outer tissues, just like an actual spider could at least once in his life time. Spider-Man's intermittent black outs and loss of superpowers were the involuntary attempts of his body to enter this dormant state. Parker was simply too stubborn to allow himself to hibernate but finally did so as a result of his near-death experience against Morlun.
- Stingers: Spider-Man developed retractable, razor-sharp stingers that were located within his arms. They released a polyamine venom, causing direct trauma and/or flaccid paralysis via interference with nerve impulse transmission. While a typical injection could paralyze a normal adult human for several hours, the impalement proved fatal to the nigh-invulnerable Morlun. How it pierced Morlun's skin is yet unknown, and may have involved mystical factors. Parker had subconsciously extended his stingers in response to stress later on.
