THE WAYFARER

Classification: Terrestrial spacecraft

Creator: Tony Stark

User/Possessors: The Avengers, Cosmo, Mister E, Ned Leeds, Alistaire Smythe, Tony Stark

First Appearance: Symbiote Spider-Man: King in Black#3 (March, 2021)

Powers/Abilities/Functions: The Wayfarer functions as a typical spacecraft designed to withstand the gravimetric pressure and extreme temperatures of outer space. It is equipped with a FTL (Faster Than Light) drive in its engines that fully allow the Wayfarer to escape Earth's atmosphere.

History:
(Symbiote Spider-Man: King in Black#3 (fb) - BTS) - Tony Stark unveiled the prototype Quinjet dubbed the Wayfarer, noting its FTL (Faster Than Light) engines capable of allowing the jet to escape Earth's atmosphere.

(Symbiote Spider-Man: King in Black#3) - While swinging through New York City, Spider-Man heard a roaring sound emanating from Avengers Mansion and he soon saw the Wayfarer prototype Quinjet taking off. Recognizing it from its public unveiling the month prior, Spider-Man became curious as to where it was going and he hitched a ride on it by webbing the side of the jet. Immediately yanked towards the Quinjet, Spider-Man prepared to let the Avengers know he was on the side of the Wayfarer despite finding it odd that they would be taking off when the Black Knight seemed to be led into a trap at Avengers Mansion. Climbing to the front of the Wayfarer, Spider-Man was chagrined to find the shadowy Mister E piloting the Wayfarer and Mister E quickly spun the Wayfarer around multiple times until Spider-Man was flung off the Wayfarer, only to be caught by another spacecraft, the Rakk'n Ruin II.

(Symbiote Spider-Man: King in Black#4) - Following Mister E's defeat at the interstellar Knowhere, Knowhere's security chief Cosmo utilized the Wayfarer to return Mister E's Alistaire Smythe, shadow host Ned Leeds and two other shadow hosts to Earth.
