BIG WHEEL
Classification: Terrestrial vehicle/drone
Creator: Ceres Goldstein
User/Possessors: Ceres Goldstein
First Appearance: Spider-Man II#19 (October, 2017)
Powers/Abilities/Functions: Like the original Big Wheel, Ceres' vehicle/drone is a 15 ft. diameter heavy gauge steel construct. Twin molybdenum steel treads surround the circumference. Mounted on both sides of the wheel are hydraulic waldo arms, which remain stationary while the wheel is in motion.
History:
(Spider-Man II#19) - Criminal outfitter Ceres was rebuilding the Big Wheel in her workshop in Paramus, New Jersey.
(Spider-Man II#234) - Ceres showed off the finished costumes and vehicles, including the Big Wheel, to possible buyer Aaron Davis, who was interested in the Iron Spider armor.
(Invincible Iron Man I#598 (fb) - BTS) - Ceres turned Big Wheel into a remote-controlled drone.
(Invincible Iron Man I#598) - When the Armor Squad (Toni Ho, Ironheart/Riri Williams, Madison Jeffries, Arno Stark) attacked her workshop, Ceres used a bunch of drones, including Big Wheel, to get rid of them. Madison Jeffries merely stepped out of the way and the Big Wheel and Jack O'Lantern drones crashed into each other. Big Wheel was taken out of commission when the Jack O'Lantern drone exploded.
Comments: Created by Brian Michael Bendis & Oscar Bazaldua.
Ceres Goldstein possibly also provided the Big Wheel to the guy seen in the Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man comic in 2018.
Ceres aped Tinkerer's design for the Big Wheel and made it worse. Good job!
