So....what you're saying is that, not only do you accept the plausibility of a seventy-year old lady using a high tech suit of flying armor to sneak into a terrorist state and steal a time machine from a superpowered dictator and his army of robot guards...but you think that Spiderman would voluntarily put his seventy year old aunt with a heart condition into a hostage situation and give her a gun before taking her in...


Its a comic. Anything sounds ridiculous if you expand it enough.
Such as:
Billionaire inventor with a heart condition creates a suit of armor that he uses to fight crime so that the suit will keep hisheart condition steady.
He then builds a skyscraper with all sorts of state of the art equipment but can't afford to rebuild a big house in the suburbs or give paychecks to his team mates.
He and the WWII hero, who was frozen in a block of ice, form a team made up of a woman who was altered by a cult, a 100 year old mutant with metal on his bones, a geek who was bitten by a radioactive spider, and a guy with unbreakable skin.
They form this team because the world needs them. The "world" in this case is New York which happens to be the center of every super hero/villain plot in the universe. And all these heroes live in this one city yet don't run into each other every single issue despite the fact that there are big attention-drawing explosions and fights going on.

Oh, and the next stage in human evolution produces a race of people who all have different powers.

Oh, and this 70 year old woman was replaced by a look alike actress who somehow knew Peter was spider-man.

Oh, and this 70 year old woman was engagedto Doctor Octopus.

Oh, and a scientific genius who is always hard up for cash can invent webbing as strong as steel cables, spider-tracers that can be tuned in with his spider-sense and other gadgets but never once thinks of inventing something to patent. Instead he just takes pictures of himself jumping around.


So, yes. Given all that, I didn't bat an eye at her being able to moderately use a weapon suit. Any 70 year old can fire a gun.

Bow ties are coool.
