Creation of the Shooters, and Spider-Man's Webs. Spider-Man's web-shooters are twin devices, worn on his wrists beneath the gauntlets of his costume, that can shoot thin strands of a special web fluid (the chemical composition of which is not known) at high pressure.
Soon after that, he realizes that he can shoot his web onto objects, such as tall buildings. He furthers this power by using his web as a rope, and swinging from place to place. In Chapter 8, entitled Scaling the heights, Spider-Man is first learning how to use his web to swing from place to place.
