Matches more recent comics, with the concept of the Iron Spider Armor from Civil War I (and him outing his identity in that event, something Iron Man also did), and Parker Industries from the current comics. Also, the way Madame Web served as a hub is similar to Karn in Web Warriors.

Actually, that design is based on a suit that Peter Parker on Earth-616 had once wore in the early 90s ( to be exact). It was a gimmick made up back in the day when holo-foil covers were all the rage.

I can assure you that the design and character were inspired by a forgettable Spider-Man comic book from the early 90s and not an inspiration for some of the more recent stories you are familiar with.
