The Spider-Drone, referred to informally as Droney, is an autonomous drone attached to the spider emblem on the torso of the Spider-Man Suit.
History
Development
Along with many other features in the Spider-Man Suit, the drone was created by Tony Stark.[1]
Rescue at the Washington Monument
Following the revelation that he and Ned Leeds had been carrying an unstable Chitauri power core, Spider-Man asked his A.I. Karen to tell him the best way to enter the Washington Monument. Karen activated the drone, with Spider-Man exclaiming his surprise of its existence. The drone circled around the tower and decided on the southwest window of the building to be Spider-Man's best entry point. After Spider-Man saved the trapped students, he fell down the elevator shaft, and the drone flew after him.[1]
Interrogating Aaron Davis
Spider-Man later re-used the drone as part of his 'enhanced interrogation mode' of the Spider-Man Suit. It located Aaron Davis in a parking lot and hovered beside Spider-Man during the interrogation.[1]
Ambush at the Staten Island Ferry
The Spider-Drone was used on the Staten Island Ferry when Spider-Man was tracking down the black market deal that he got word of from Aaron Davis. The drone flew ahead and identified Mac Gargan for Spider-Man, then located a white van where the alien weapons were being stored. After the battle, Tony Stark, deeming Spider-Man reckless and unworthy of it, confiscated the suit and the Spider-Drone.[1]
