You know, not for kids!


Marvel wants everyone to know that this is, by no means, an official Marvel licensed product. What is this? It's pepper spray. Specifically pepper spray that is dispensed from a bracelet like device you wear on your wrist. The spray is then triggered by a button on the underneath, near the palm of your hand. Of course Florida based inventor Domonique Torrence is quick to admit the device was inspired by our favorite wall-crawlers weapons of choice. Marvel however doesn't seem quite as happy. All across the media this little invention is quickly getting labeled as a "Spider-Man" bracelet. On a Marvel blog, Agent M, one of Marvel.com's regular contributors, says "...but all the folks dubbing this a Spider-Man bracelet? Ya gotta stop. Think of the kids!!" Sounds like they're trying to get out in front of the inevitable lawsuits.
