Way back we saw how fishing nets are strewn across Ukrainian highways to protect from incursion by drones; but in a more proactive twist they are now being fired at aerial quads to tangle the propellers and bring them down.
Sounds new but (inset) some among Rome's gladiators from two millennia prior used only a net and trident in combat... and no armour.
Such glads were called 'retiarius' viz. 'Net-Man'... a Marvel super-hero to come?
