At night, Henry was in the secret base, hammering away at something.
The three Spider-Girls' equipment was not something he needed to consider for now, and perhaps not something he would need to consider at all. But he did have an idea for what Madame Web would use.
Henry had not considered giving Cathy Weber an exoskeletal suit for her to control with brainwaves, or using artificial intelligence assistance to restore her mobility.
Exoskeletal technology was too advanced. Henry had not yet considered bringing her into his small circle, so he needed to maintain a technological distinction. He could not make everything armor and expect people to see a different faction just because it had a different design.
He would use wheelchair-like assistive equipment as the foundation, altering its appearance according to different situations so it could adapt to new purposes. That would create a much clearer distinction.
More importantly, the transformation mechanism of the tactical wheelchair he would provide Cathy Weber would be a major subject for Henry's research and experimentation. It would support the equipment while advancing his technology at the same time.
The secret base had been relatively quiet lately, giving Henry the chance to focus on machinery research.
The reason he did not directly research nanomachines was that, while they seemed useful and could be assembled into whatever function was needed at any time, they had a fatal flaw that even Tony Stark had not resolved properly.
That was the issue of how much nanomaterial could be carried.
In the movies, whether it was the later Iron Man armor or the Iron Spider armor, there had been scenes where, after part of the armor was damaged or absorbed by an enemy, the remaining nanomaterials could no longer form armor that covered the entire body.
The only
