Spider-Man is one of the most beloved superheroes on the planet. The face of Marvel comics has been in a number of video games over the years and a variety of iconic suits have been donned by the web-slinger. But there have been a variety of different suits that have not been featured in hardly any Spider-Man video games.
Considering the number of different costumes worn by Peter Parker and other Spider-Men and Women, it is surprising to see that the following 10 costumes have been featured in few, if any games during the character’s long history.
10 Spider-Phoenix
For a brief period in the comics, Spidey was at one point given the powers of the phoenix force which is most associated with Jean Grey of the X-Men.
The costume itself is a cool red and black costume with a glowing yellow spider symbol on his chest, glowing eyes, and a glowing phoenix force symbol on the back. It is a pretty cool-looking costume but has hardly been seen, most likely due to licensing issues.
9 The New Scarlet Spider Suit
The first iteration of the Scarlet Spider suit is great on its own but the newest version of Ben Reilly’s iconic suit is great in its own right.
It features a hood that is actually up with a navy blue and red costume that may not scream the 90s but is a good tribute to a character not seen that often. Probably because the whole clone saga was just a huge mess, to begin with.
8 Cosmic Suit
The Phoenix Force was not the only cosmic power that Spidey was lucky enough to wield, he also wielded the might of the uni-power – a strong, sentient energy that turns its user into Captain Universe.
Along with this power, came a suit with a black and white color scheme with the black part featuring a space pattern. It is kind of ruined by the random spot of red from the mask of the classic suit but it would be a cool nod nevertheless.
7 Steel Spider
Steel Spider is a man named Ollie Osnick who initially started out as an admirer of Doctor Octopus who ended up creating his own set of robotic tentacles. Though initially wanting to be a villain, he would end up being steered on the right path by Spider-Man himself and end up becoming the Steel Spider.
More recent iterations of the character include a blue suit with a steel spider symbol on his chest that looks really cool. Plus it would also make for some rather unique abilities in the next Spider-Man game.
6 Spyder-Knight
This Peter Parker is a medieval variant of the web-slinger hailing from York, England. While the original suit is pretty goofy looking, the actual suit here is the one from the Ultimate Spider-Man TV show.
It has a darker red pattern as well as a collapsible sword and crossbow built into it for maximum effectiveness in combat. It is a suit tailor-made for any situation and would be cool to see how it holds up in a modern New York setting.
5 Supaida Man
A cult classic Spider-Man, this wall-crawler was from a live-action Japanese show that pretty much deviated from the storylines in the comics in every way possible but in the best way possible.
This Spider-Man is Takuya Yamashiro who gets his powers from a UFO from Planet Spider and also receives a giant mech to pilot in the vein of Power Rangers. Having it as a costume in a game would be a fitting tribute to a zanier part of Spidey’s history.
4 Trench Coat And Hat Spider-Man Noir
While the main Spider-Man Noir suit has been featured in a number of games, the version of the suit with the hat and trench coat has yet to be included though. This is a shame because it looks epic and fits this grittier Spidey perfectly.
This Peter Parker is from a Great Depression-era New York who takes a harder stance of crime-fighting after the murders of his uncle Ben and mentor Ben Urich. The web-slinger is a gunslinger in this iteration by wielding a gun and is not afraid of getting his hands dirty. The hat and trench add to this aspect of the character and would be cool to see in a game.
3 Superior Spider-Man Mk. II
This Spider-Man is a Peter Parker who has had his mind swapped with that of Doctor Octopus, the latter of which takes up the mantle properly after seeing what power and responsibility are all about.
While initially met unfavorably, the character has become really popular ever since. The second iteration of the suit is the better of the two and would be a cool inclusion in the next game, especially since this Spider-Man has met the Spidey and Peter Parker of the PS4 game in the comics. There is some real Easter Egg potential here.
2 Spider-Man Unlimited Suit
A suit from a great and all-too-short animated series, this show saw Spidey don a different suit due to the show not possessing the rights to use the classic suit due to the Marvel and Sony deal.
Regardless of how it came about, this suit truly is spectacular. The red and blue is there with an elongated red spider on the chest and web cape that isn’t too shabby either. The show itself only lasted a season and its inclusion in a game would only be noticed by a true fan of the wall-crawler.
1 Amazing Spider-Man 2 Suit
Every suit from the live-action Spider-Man movies has shown up in a game in some form at one point. That is all but one: the suit in the Amazing Spider-Man Suit 2.
The suit is just beautiful and was easily the best part of an otherwise lackluster movie. All the movie suits but this one has been added to the Insomniac game in amazing fashion. All that is left is this one which is sadly been left to the terrible Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game.
