He has fought some incredible villains that have pushed him to the brink. Yet, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has overcome most of the obstacles in his way. He also has done so with his brain and strength. Of course his original suit is mostly everyone’s favorite, I created a top five list of my favorite Spider-man suit variants. Which one is your favorite alternate suit? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
Top 5 Spider-man Suit Variants
5. The Scarlet Spider Suit
The Scarlet Spider suit is a well-known costume in Marvel Comics, primarily associated with Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker, both clones of Peter Parker. The original iconic look consists of a red full-body suit and mask, overlaid with a blue sleeveless hoodie featuring a large black spider symbol, along with a utility belt and external web-shooters.
4. Iron Spider Armor Suit
The Iron Spider Armor is a high-tech exoskeleton created by Tony Stark for Peter Parker. Originally debuting in the Marvel Comics Civil War event (2006), it has since become an iconic part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and various video game adaptations. The most distinctive feature is the set of retractable spider-arms. In the comics, there were originally three arms, while the MCU and video game versions typically feature four. These arms provide enhanced mobility, offense, and can even see around corners via built-in cameras. It includes a self-contained oxygen supply for underwater or deep-space environments and nuclear/biological filtration.
3. Miles Morales – Animated Film Suit
Miles Morales has worn several distinctive Spider-Man suits across comics, movies, and video games. The most common is the classic black and red suit with a unique spray-painted spider emblem, though other notable variations exist, such as the Across the Spider-Verse suit or the Brooklyn 2099 suit from the games. The suit that was featured in the Into the Spider-Verse films were really cool to see come to life in the films.
2. Spider Man 2099 Suit
Back in the 90’s Marvel had a new comic book series called 2099. It was a futuristic look into the Marvel heroes. One of them was Spider-Man. The person who was Spider Man in the 2099 comic series was Miguel O’Hara. The Spider-Man 2099 suit has several distinct versions, most notably the classic blue and red design and the later white variation, featured prominently in comics, games, and recent animated films. The original suit was made from Unstable Molecule Fabric so it wouldn’t be torn by his talons. It is such a cool design and I loved it when I first read that series.
1. Spider-Man alien Symbiote Suit
The Spider-Man alien suit, officially known as the symbiote suit, is a living, amorphous black costume that famously led to the creation of the villain Venom. It first appeared in comics in 1984 during the Secret Wars storyline. Once he got back to Earth from the Secret Wars, he continued to wear it. The suit is a living, black parasitic costume that bonds with Peter Parker, giving him enhanced strength, shapeshifting, and unlimited webbing, but also making him more aggressive and driving him to a dark path before he rejects it. Therefore it was leading to its bonding with Eddie Brock to become Venom. So not only do we get a fantastic suit, but it leads to one of Spidey’s best villains.
