My Top 5 Alternate Spider-Man Costumes

Peter Parker In the movie The Amazing Spider-Man wears a new classic red and blue Spiderman costume. He always keeps changing his suits from time to time, so I decided to put together a list of my top five favorite Spider-Man alternate costumes. 

5) Scarlet Spider-Man Costume

One thing I like the Scarlet Spider design is that it actually looks like something I would have, the suit is simple red, but the spider hoodie is effective. 

4) Last Stand Costume

The “Last Stand” costume was first introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #498-500. The simplified, looser-fitting jacket and slacks feels more like a uniform and less a costume. 

3) Spider-Man 2099 Costume

With darker future comes, new Spider-Man Miguel O’Hara got the darker 2099 costume. There were claws and sharp scallops on the wrists. The traditional blue and red color scheme became much darker. It’s even got a skull on the front. 

2) Black Symbiote Spider-Man Costume

The best of all Spidey alternate costumes. Spider-Man would switch back and forth between black and classic red and blues until the arrival of Venom scaring MJ so much that she asks Peter to stop wearing that same black suit.

1) Alex Ross movie concept Costume

It's not the classic blue and red but it is a fresh take on a very familiar character. It’s a mixture of the black symbiote costume with the iconic red web classic costume. If I’m playing a Spider-Man video game and this costume is unlockable, it’s almost always my secondary suit after the classic.

Spider-Man Movie Costumes Comparison

The most recent appearance of Spider-Man on film is in The Amazing Spider-Man, directed by Marc Webb, starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. A high resolution photograph of the costume shows that the texture does not appear smooth; in fact, it looks to be almost scaly. 

The distinction between the latest Amazing Spider-Man movie costume and the costume we saw before is that the previous red and blue Spider-Man costume also looked more like webbing and less scaly, the logo at the center of Spidey's chest is also bigger, wider, and stands out more than it does in the latest movie costume. The back of the costume also features a very large, red spider logo.

However the most interesting thing about Spider-Man's costume is that no matter how many changes are made to the costume's design, it has managed to always maintain its iconic appearance. Never once have we looked at a version of a Spider-Man costume and thought that it was someone else's costume.
