I certainly can't argue with that logic since Parker could have given him a "web fluid shotgun" and a warehouse full of web cartridges 30 years ago. I hear now in modern continuity that Castle actually has the War Machine suit...like seriously, wtf? Who made that call?

Is that any more insane than the time when he was Frankenstein, though?

Or when he died, and was resurrected by angels and given magic guns to fight against demons?

We also apparently have Venom: Agent of SHIELD

That actually makes more sense in context, though. Like, it isn't Eddie Brock Venom (though even he went through a long period of being a "hero" more than a Spider-Man villain), it's Flash Thompson post-military career wearing the symbiote, but it's also being drugged to the gills to keep it controllable. So it's a more trustworthy wearer with a more subdued suit. And he spends like half his time in space anyway.

At that point, it fits in pretty well with the premise that the government in Marvel is corrupt as fuck, and more than willing to do weird experiments on aliens or mutants or other super-powered beings, or exploit them and their powers for black ops purposes.

In terms of ethics, it's not even as bad as when Tony Stark was putting super heroes into an extra-dimensional prison simply for refusing to register their secret identities with the government, or when he and Reed Richards made a psychotic clone of Thor to enforce those rules without Thor's permission or knowledge, and then it straight up killed Bill Foster (something for which no one has ever been prosecuted, btw).
