In a recent post on X account @CosmicMarvel, images were shared of Avitto’s moodboard, seemingly designed for Brand New Day’s villain. These pictures included various reference materials of old Japanese armor and warriors. Keen-eyed fan @DrawsTom noted an astute resemblance between some pieces and the armor associated with Spider-Man’s lesser-known adversary, Alistair Smythe, also known as the Spider-Slayer. Throughout the history of Spider-Man comics, there have been several versions of the Spider-Slayer robots that bother Peter Parker consistently. However, Alistair Smythe stands out among these due to his memorable portrayal.
