Event Horizon
Even though Peter has no set schedule, and is able to work on his time, Max nonetheless begins to notice Peter’s absence during emergencies – and comes to the most logical conclusion, which he confronts Peter with: that Peter Parker is Spider-Man’s go-to guy for technology. Apparently it would stretch the imagination too much to imagine a super hero like Spider-Man also being smart enough to invent the various types of new armor the webcrawler has been sporting of late. Mr. Modell is fine with this arangement, seeing as Spider-Man has recently saved all of Horizon Labs during an accident; Peter plays along with the story.
