[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 1634630, member: 871"] Y'know, this brings up a good point, as well as a key background character in the Marvel books that pretty much explains this matter: the Tinkerer. He's the big underground supplier for many villains, and the one responsible for repairing/upgrading a villain's gear/equipment (esp. if the villain's not that technocally inclined to begin with). To boot, the current [I]Secret War[/I] miniseries explains just why the Tinkerer does all of this hi-tech stuff for villains, esp. when costs for such tech are up in the millions/billions of $$, though the average "take" for many of these supervillains is in the hundreds to thousands of $$ range. That would have been a cool background character to introduce in the movies--he could have provided Doc Ock with the components he needed, not to mention providing "tech support" for Harry during his stint as a Goblin (Harry doesn't seem like the tech-oriented type like his dad, Doc Ock, & Spidey are).
