https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/33af3ee1_1e5d_4f86_b5be_a46a3540ff94.png
First Appearance: Spider-Man (PS4)

Pete's newest costume. An updated version of his Classic Suit that looks more like modern athletic wear than spandex, with white carbon fiber armor reinforcements on the chest and back logos, backs of his hands, and knuckles.

In Marvel's Spider-Man, its unique power is "Battle Focus", which quickly refills the Focus Meter while active. In 2, it's unlocked after completing "Surface Tension".


  • Boring, but Practical: As far as Suit Powers go, just auto-filling your Focus Bars is not flashy in the least. But it doesn't need to be, because it can either provide faster Finishers to take out enemies one after the other, or make it easier to heal if you're taking a lot of damage and can't get Focus. Plus it works automatically as soon as it's activated with no need to position yourself in a way that maximizes effectiveness, so just let it roll while in a fight and it will be an immense help.
  • Canon Foreigner: One of the five suits created for the game.
  • Canon Immigrant: The suit has since appeared in the source material and in other adaptations.
  • Chest Insignia: A larger, white insignia than the one most comic book and movie watchers are familiar with. This is intentional, as Otto's notes say that the high contrast between it and the rest of the costume will offer up to 20 milliseconds of additional time before people recognize it as Spider-Man's logo.
  • Clothing Damage: Averted. Unlike its predecessor, this suit remains intact throughout the game, with the only damage it takes being mainly black marks caused when Spider-Man is attacked by some of his stronger foes. The suit even remains intact while the game's final suit becomes damaged during the final boss battle. Played straight in the PlayStation 5 remaster, where Spidey's encounter with the Sinister Six leaves him so battered that the paint on the suit is noticeably worn away, showing a green base layer underneath.
  • Composite Character: The Advanced suit takes Spider-Man's classic look and adds the white highlights from the symbiote suit (large white spider on the chest and back, and white patches on the back of the hands). In general, the suit also takes aspects of three live-action Spider-Man incarnations: the Expressive Mask is from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the spider on the front resembling that of The Amazing Spider-Man Series, and the spider on the back resembling the one from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy.
  • Costume Evolution: After his Classic Suit undergoes some Clothing Damage in the prologue, Peter tries to repair it - and Otto, thinking Peter's the go-to gadget guy for Spidey, actually customizes it while he's asleep. The result is Insomniac Games's take on the suit to give this game a unique look called the "White Spider", with white lining and a corresponding logo as well as a more technical-looking pair of gloves and shoes.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode.
  • In-Series Nickname: It's called the Advanced Suit, but occasionally people, even Peter himself, calls it the "White Spider".
  • Limit Break: Its special power, "Battle Focus" causes the Focus Meter to rapidly regenerate over time for a short period, which lets Spidey pull off more instant takedowns and lets him spend the meter to heal.
  • My Suit Is Also Super:
    • Otto's notes describe the suit being made of carbon-fibers wrapped around a graphene core, improving its durability without sacrificing flexibility. Graphene is a specially made carbon molecule with extreme tensile strength, allowing it to withstand more than three times the force of kevlar. Carbon fiber is similarly flexible and also durable while remaining lightweight.
    • Side materials also reveal that the suit's mask has built in cameras, radio, and communications equipment and provides his in-game HUD. It's also designed to be odor and scent-free, minimizing the need to wash it.
  • Mythology Gag: The suit styles in Spider-Man 2 contain a few.
    • Second Style: Web-Man, a color scheme shared with Classic and Advanced 2.0.
    • Third Style: The black suit.
    • Fourth Style: The Osborn Suit, from Zeb Wells' Amazing run.

Click here to see the damaged version
First Appearance: Amazing Fantasy #15

Peter Parker's classic costume, intended to be used for his rise to stardom instead became his superhero costume.

In Marvel's Spider-Man, it comes in two flavors: damaged and repaired. After acquiring the Advanced Suit, the damaged version can be switched to and you can spend tokens to get the repaired version. While the damaged version doesn't have a special power, the repaired version does: "Web Blossom", which fires a volley of web shots in a wide radius around Spidey. In 2, it's unlocked after completing "Surface Tension".


  • Area of Effect: Its special covers everything nearby in webbing.
  • Clothing Damage: It's to be expected after basically fighting his way through an entire day with crime all around and a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown involving Fisk. This leads to the creation of the Advanced Suit. Of course, you can still craft the Classic Suit immediately after with no real complications if that's your preference.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits. This can be seen in the cut scenes or using selfie mode on Photo Mode.
  • Iconic Outfit: It's Spidey's comic book look. It’s been designed to have a more detailed and realistic look, such as seams running up the limbs, and modernized to have the same HUD and built-in camera/communications system the Advanced Suit would later utilize.
  • My Suit Is Also Super: The suit's mask has built in cameras, radio, and communications equipment and provides his in-game HUD.
  • Mythology Gag: One of this suits' alternate styles in Spider-Man 2 replaces blue with black; this is how the suit was originally envisioned, but eventually the blue used to highlight the black parts became the base color, mostly due to ink and printing costs.

The shadowy costume worn by the Spider-Man of Earth-90214, made from Uncle Ben's World War I airman uniform. Its ability is "Sound of Silence", which prevents enemies from calling for backup. Unlocked at level 3.

  • EMP: "Sound of Silence" shuts off enemies' ability to summon reinforcements.
  • Ornamental Weapon: This suit retains the revolver Spidey Noir uses in the comics. This Spidey, however, doesn't use it at all.

First Appearance: Web of Spider-Man #118

The costume worn by Ben Reilly, the Spider-Clone. Initially intended to wear it to help deal with a returned Venom, he was given the embarrassing moniker because of the all-red costume.

  • Civvie Spandex: It's the Ben Reilly version of the costume, so it consists of a scarlet mask and bodysuit with a tattered sleeve-less blue hoodie.
  • Doppelgänger Spin: The suit's special creates Holographic copies of Spidey that distract opponents.
  • Mythology Gag: Two of them.
    • The outfit of Spidey's clone can create copies of himself.
    • The second is that one of the phrases the copies can say in the Japanese dub has them call itself an "Emissary from Hell", one of the phrases from the live-action Japanese Spider-Man show from 1978.

  • Attack Drone: The "Spider-Bro" power uses the drone that's mounted on the spider insignia to take down enemies.

First Appearance: Spider-Man #90

A costume based on the one Spidey got in Spider-Man issue 90 released 1998, where he had to rescue a trio of children from Yancy Street that had wandered into the Negative Zone, although the suit's design in this game is based on the Advanced Suit and Mr. Negative's dark energy. Its special power is "Negative Shockwave", which unleashes a radial burst of negative energy. Unlocked at level 11.

First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 #10

Its power is "King of the Ring", which lets him perform web throws without the need web up his enemies first. Unlocked at level 19.


  • Beta Outfit: Whilst this costume was one of these in the source it originated from, a poster on Peter's apartment wall in the opening also suggests this design is canon to the game's continuity as well.
  • Composite Character: While it's primarily based on the Ultimate Spider-Man version, the shirt having a spider design on it is similar to the "Human Spider" costume.
  • Masked Luchador: The headpiece is a Mexican wrestling mask.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iron_spider_suit_from_msm_render.png
First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #529, Spider-Man: Homecoming

A suit of armor developed by Tony Stark for the Spider-Man of Earth-199999 should he join the Avengers. Peter initially turned down both positions believing it to be a Secret Test of Character, but was granted both during Thanos's attack on Earth.

In Marvel's Spider-Man, its power is "Iron Arms", which produces appendages similar to a spider's legs to increase his damage output. Unlocked at level 31, or immediately available if you preordered the game. In 2, it's unlocked at Level 54.

The Iron Spider Suit is itself based on the Iron Spider Armor, a similar red-and-gold suit of armor that Tony Stark made for Earth-616 Spidey toward the end of the Spider-Man: The Other comic arc, a replacement for his original cloth suit which he wore until partway through the Civil War arc. For the original counterpart, see Iron Spider Armor.


  • Decomposite Character: This suit is an amalgam of the Spider Armor Mark IV and its namesake from the comics, but said suits are both available in the game.
  • Expressive Mask: In keeping with its portrayal in the films the suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode.

  • Power Glows: Parts of the suit, including the eye lenses, glow white.

    Velocity Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/velocity_suit_from_msm_render.png
First Appearance: Spider-Man (PS4)

An original suit designed by acclaimed comic book artist and film character designer, Adi Granov, just for the game. Its power is "Blitz", which increases his sprinting speed and lets him tackle foes while running. Unlocked at level 33, or immediately available if the game was preordered.


  • Breakout Character: The suit is popular enough to get an Origin Story comic.
  • Canon Foreigner: One of the five suits created for the game.
  • Super-Speed: "Blitz" enhances Spidey's movement speed even more and transfers it into more kinetic force, which sends his foes flying farther away. In Spider-Man: Velocity, it increases his speed to the point that it looks like Time Stands Still from his perspective and letting him patrol all of New York in ten seconds. Unfortunately, he can't turn this speed off, meaning that he's essentially a ghost until he can fix it.
  • Tron Lines: It slightly resembles the Big Time suit due to this, only with Spidey's usual color scheme instead of black and the lines being blue green instead of light green.

    Spider Armor - MK IV Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spider_armor___mk_iv_suit_from_msm_render.jpg

First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Annual #38

The Peter Parker of Earth-11638, he was originally a misguided hero called "Amazing Spider" until he realized what he was doing — luring alternate Spider-Men to his world and stealing their power — was not heroic and died stopping his misguided plan. He was later resurrected as "Ghost Spider" by the aid of his world's Sorcerer Supreme, Bruce Banner, and rescued Spider-Man, Deadpool and the Hulk from his world. The "Ghost Spider" moniker is now the new identity of Spider-Gwen. Its ability is "Spirit Fire", which projects blue flames around him. Unlocked at level 37.

  • Cel Shading: To resemble an actual comic book character, complete with an outline.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes change shape depending on Peter's emotion. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode. Unlike some of the other suits, this does not appear to be a mechanical shutter system, instead resembling the way Spider Man's Expressive Mask works in the comics.
  • Iconic Outfit: It is literally the costume from the comics.
  • You Fight Like a Cow: This suit's Quips power lets Spidey snark on the player's demand.

    Last Stand Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/last_stand_suit_from_msm_render.png
First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man vol. 2 #58

A uniform worn by a Peter Parker who murdered Kraven the Hunter in revenge for the deaths of Kaine Parker and Mattie Franklin and became an anti-hero because of it. It was also the uniform worn by an alternate Ezekiel Sims in repentance for allowing his Peter Parker to die in his stead. Its power is "Unrelenting Fury", which renders enemies' defenses (even shields) useless. Unlocked at level 45.


  • Bad Future: In the original future this came from (shown to Earth-616 Peter by Madame Webb), Peter brutally killed Kraven after Kaine’s and Mattie’s deaths, and he didn’t stop there. He killed more supervillains, including Doctor Octopus, lost his Aunt May, alienated his remaining friends and family, and was kicked out of the Avengers due to his brutality. He eventually refused to surrender to the NYPD, and was gunned down in his final battle with them.
  • Civvie Spandex: This costume gives Spidey a new mask, two-toned (red and black) leather jacket and gloves, and black jeans and boots.

  • Old Superhero: By the time he had his fatal final battle with the NYPD, he was married, had a son, and had grown grey hair on his temples.

    Undies 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bfe84718_5a01_49c0_987b_c6fee85f65d5.png
First Appearance: Spider-Man (PS4)

Sometimes, things just don't go your way and you have to go stark naked. Its "suit" power is "Equalizer", which makes everyone go down in one hit—even Spidey. Obtained via 100% Completion.


  • Bragging Rights Reward: The reward you get for completing every side mission and objective in the game.
  • Brick Joke: Early in the game, when his Classic Suit gets damaged, Peter quips that he doesn't want the paparazzi taking photos of his three chest hairs. He's not kidding about that; if you look closely at his chest when he's wearing this suit, he does indeed have three chest hairs.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Peter very briefly "wears" this costume for a few seconds right after curing himself of Scorpion's toxin, which obviously happens a while before you meet the requirements to unlock it.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode.
  • Fanservice: It's Spider-Man wearing only boxers and a mask, revealing his entire musculature.
  • Glass Cannon: The ultimate example: while the Equalizer ability allows Spider-Man to knock out any enemy in one hit while it's active, he himself will also get knocked out in one hit.
  • Goofy Print Underwear: The suit is composed entirely of Spider-Man themed boxers, his iconic mask and web shooters.
  • Lethal Joke Item: The suit's special ability makes all enemies vulnerable to being taken out in one hit at the price of Spider-Man also being vulnerable to this....and looking completely silly.
  • Naked People Are Funny: Spider-Man is prancing around in his boxers.
  • Not Wearing Tights: Literally, sans mask, boxers and web shooters.
  • One-Hit Kill: For as long as it's active, the suit's ability will drop whoever Spidey hits in a single blow...
  • One-Hit-Point Wonder: ...at the cost of the same condition applying to Spidey.
  • Power at a Price: Good news: The suit's ability will knock out anyone Spider-Man hits in one go. Bad news: Spider-Man will die if anything hits him while the ability is active.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: All Spidey wears are his eponymous undies, mask and web shooters.
  • Underwear of Power: Literally, though it also (justifiably) lowers Spidey's defense stats.

  • Cosmetic Award: Has no powers.

First Appearance: Spider-Man (PS4)

An original "suit" representing Peter's alma mater, Empire State University. Awarded for picturing all 50 secret landmarks.


  • Bragging Rights Reward: Unlike the other suits, this one doesn't contribute to 100% the game or any of the trophies. It's literally a prize for a completely optional post-game side-task.
  • Civvie Spandex: Technically isn't even a suit; it's Peter in a grey "Empire State University" T-shirt, his default jeans and shoes, and a Spider-man mask.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode.

  • Bottomless Magazines: Can be invoked with the Resupply power, which is almost tailor-made for the Ock fight due to its reliance on gadgets.
  • Canon Foreigner: One of the five suits created for the game.
  • Clothing Damage: Takes one helluva beating during the final boss fight, although the post-game version remains intact.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: The suit is made using the same tech that Doc Ock used for his arms.
  • Nanomachines: The Resupply power uses "distributed nano-mesh" to refill ammo for Spidey's gadgets.
  • Powered Armor: Peter builds it prior to the final confrontation of the game in order to take on Dr. Octopus. It's made out of the same material and technology used to make Ock's mechanical arms, giving Peter an extra boost of power and protection.
  • Power Glows: The eyes and spider emblem glow yellow.
  • Walking Spoiler: Even the suit's name is a huge endgame spoiler.

    Dark Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2728214f_cf0f_4840_98d2_3fef08ce5255.png
First Appearance: Spider-Man/Deadpool #8

After returning from the afterlife after Deadpool killed him (long story, Deadpool didn't know his best bud Spidey and Peter are one and the same), Peter created this suit. It resembles the (in)famous Black Suit, but with a few differences, such as the white eyes and spider being red, the spider being shaped like two diamonds with spider legs coming off of them, the addition of claws on the tips of the fingers, and a widow mark on the palms of the gloves. In game, it was created by Felicia Hardy/Black Cat, much like how she made the cloth version of the Black Suit. It's awarded after completing the Black Cat Stakeout side missions and finding her hideout.


  • Absurdly Sharp Claws: Not that they do anything in game, but they're there.
  • Cosmetic Award: This suit has no powers. At least it doesn't consume tokens to unlock.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Well, not the case in the game, as ol' Webs is still as good a guy as ever. But in the comic it appeared in, Peter was in a very dark mindset.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: This suit is the closest thing to the iconic Black Suit in the game. Insomniac has stated they are saving the Black Suit for a sequel (which ultimately came true with 2), so this suit's inclusion may be so players would have something similar to it.

    Resilient Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/04b34cee_ac64_46a7_a156_4c59c0fe5901.png
First Appearance: Spider-Man (PS4)

An original suit designed by Marvel illustrator Gabriele Dell’Otto. Obtained after completing "The Maria", the first mission of The Heist DLC.


  • Canon Foreigner: One of the five suits created for the game.
  • Cosmetic Award: This suit has no associated powers.
  • Out of Focus: Of the five original-created suits in the game, this one is the least promoted.

    Spider-UK Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f8df3cf5_a819_4f7c_9ee0_b40b0451f904.png
First Appearance: Edge of Spider-Verse #2

The suit of the Spider-Man from Earth-833, former Captain Britain William "Billy" Braddock. Obtained after completing the main story of The Heist DLC.


    Scarlet Spider II Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/244a4214_2288_4f93_ae86_f3a611590eb5.png
First Appearance: Scarlet Spider #1

The suit of Kaine Parker, another one of Peter's clones from the infamous "Clone Saga" comic arc. Formerly the Stealth Suit from the "Big Time" arc, its appearance was altered to its red and black color scheme by Madame Web to help him differentiate from Ben Reilly. Obtained after completing all of the district activities of The Heist DLC.


  • Cosmetic Award: Zig-zagged. While the suit doesn't have an associated power, it technically "shares" the Big Time Stealth suit's power due to them being the same suit.

    Spider Armor MK I 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0052772e_182e_45bc_a9e2_942b263c56e4.png
First Appearance: Web of Spider-Man #100

The very first iteration of the Spider Armor, made to help Spidey combat the New Enforcers when they attacked New York with high-caliber firearms. Featuring a black-and-silver color scheme, the armored parts of the suit were made of a pseudo-metallic compound that Pete made at ESU. Unfortunately, the suit was destroyed by acid during the fight. Obtained by completing "Blindsided", the first mission of the Turf Wars DLC.


  • Armor Is Useless: Considering it's a Cosmetic Award with no added defense and is the one of the most "armor" like of the Spider Armors, second to MKIII.
  • Cosmetic Award: It has no associated suit power meaning its sole value is its classic look.

    Iron Spider Armor 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iron_spider_armor_from_msm_render.png
First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #529

The original debut version of the Iron Spider suit from the Spider-Man: The Other and Civil War comic arcs: an all red suit with gold accents, the color scheme taken from Stark's Iron Man suit. During the Civil War arc, Pete abandoned this suit after he switched from the Pro-Registration side to the Anti-Registration side. An upgraded version of the suit was supplied to a trio of clones of Michael van Patrick. At one point, even Mary Jane herself donned the suit to help Spidey and Iron Man fight against Regent. Peter has since recreated the suit, using Parker Industries resources.

In Marvel's Spider-Man, it's obtained by completing the main story of the Turf Wars DLC. In 2, it's unlocked at Level 29.

For the MCU counterpart, see Iron Spider Suit.


  • Cosmetic Award: Zig-zagged again - it and the MCU version of the costume are technically alternate universe versions of the same suit, meaning it shares the Iron Arms suit power. A later update even makes it so when used by this suit, they change appearance to match the way they looked in the comics.
  • Mythology Gag: The suit styles in Spider-Man 2 contain two.
    • Second Style: Gold Goblin
    • Fourth Style: Aaron Davis' Iron Spider suit

    Spider-Clan Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0f790e2e_c20c_4bf6_8e04_e168c3e824f7.png
First Appearance: Marvel Mangaverse: Spider-Man #1

The outfit of the Peter Parker from Earth-2301, or the "Mangaverse". This version of Pete/Spidey is a ninja of the Spider Clan, rather than a high school student bitten by a special spider. Obtained by completing all the district activities in the Turf Wars DLC.


  • Art Shift: This costume is rendered more like the "Mangaverse" appearance rather than attempting to render it more realistically.
  • Cosmetic Award: It has no associated suit power.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes change shape depending on Peter's emotion. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode. Unlike some of the other suits, this does not appear to be a mechanical shutter system, instead resembling the way Spider Man's Expressive Mask works in the comics.

    Aaron Aikman Armor 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8892096b_01b7_4dab_8a19_fb9d43513403.png
First Appearance: Edge of the Spider-Verse #3

The armored costume of Aaron Aikman, the Spider-Man of Earth-31411. Obtained by completing "Old Friends", the first story mission in the Silver Lining DLC.


    Cyborg Spider-Man Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/decd91e9_d72f_4104_8aab_e889e7c7cd72.png
First Appearance: Spider-Man #21

The "costume" worn by Spider-Man during the Revenge of the Sinister Six storyline. This was a patchwork outfit for Spidey after the mercenary Solo grievously wounded the web-slinger thanks to Mysterio's illusions and he was rescued by the mysterious Cyborg X. Despite the '90s Anti-Hero look, it's actually done to help heal him, with the large metal arm actually being a hi-tech cast. Obtained by completing the main story of the Silver Lining DLC.


  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes feature a mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode. Notably, both the right eye of the Spider-Man suit and the mechanical cyborg camera covering over the left eye are expressive.

    Into the Spider-Verse Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3fd4868a_ba3a_4994_88a2_2cdccd13a4b4.png

The costume was worn by Peter B. Parker, the Spider-Man of Earth-616B, who had grown disillusioned with his heroics despite his massive popularity, until he was dragged into Earth-1610B and, with the aid of other alternate reality Spiders, aided the fledgling Miles Morales from protecting the multiverse from the Kingpin's schemes. Obtained by completing all the district activities in the Silver Lining DLC.


  • Art Shift: This version of the classic suit is rendered like it is in Into the Spider-Verse.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes change shape depending on Peter's emotion. This can be seen in the cut scenes or if you use selfie mode on Photo Mode. Unlike some of the other suits, this does not appear to be a mechanical shutter system, instead resembling the way Spider Man's Expressive Mask works in the film.
  • Heroic Build: This version of Spidey has a much broader torso than most of his other incarnations.

    Webbed Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1ed7a008_3c41_4ac8_9ff4_7759a00098c3.png
First Appearance: Spider-Man 2

The costume worn by the Spider-Man of Earth-96283, who designed it following the death of Uncle Ben and his disastrous encounter with the robber who killed him.

In Marvel's Spider-Man, it was added with a free update on December 20, 2018. In 2, it's unlocked at Level 32.


  • Bling-Bling-BANG!: The web design and visors gloriously reflect the light.
  • Iconic Outfit: The one from the original Spider-Man film series. In fact it was the most requested suit in the game, which is a testament to its legacy.
  • Iconic Sequel Outfit: It uses the design from the second and third movies from the Spider-Man Trilogy, with a thicker spider on the front and a larger symbol on the back with more spindly legs compared to the suit worn in the first movie.
  • Red Is Heroic: It's distinguished from other suits for the fact that it's a much sharper and intense shade of red than others.
  • Whole Costume Reference: To the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, of course.

    Bombastic Bag-Man 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2f520798_0ace_4439_82fe_bc44a35f4855.png
First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #258

Plagued by strange dreams and inexplicable exhaustion, Spider-Man approached the Fantastic Four for help over what was wrong with his mysterious black costume. To his surprise, Reed Richards let him know that the suit was alive and trying to bond with him. After freeing from the suit, Peter was given a spare classic Fantastic Four costume and was forced to make due with a paper bag for a mask. While Peter has donned other "Bag-Man" costumes, this one is the most iconic. Added with a free update on January 8, 2019.


  • Brown Bag Mask: It's the Fantastic Four costume with one of these.
  • Cosmetic Award: Has no associated suit power.
  • You Don't Look Like You: The video game costume retains the boots the comic book version lacked, as they were too thick for Spidey's wall-crawling abilities to be used, and lacks the "Kick Me" sign on the back. It also has drawn-on versions of the same eye lens shapes that the other costumes had, which it didn't have in the comic.

    Future Foundation 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6d6863d0_e010_4db2_9c02_b858f9ac5cef.png
First Appearance: FF #1

After Johnny Storm was killed by the Annihilation Wave, his Last Will and Testament requested that Spider-Man take his place as Spidey had the brains to handle the team and they treated him like family. As the Fantastic Four had rebranded themselves as the Future Foundation, Peter was given a special black and white uniform that allowed him to alter its look to his liking. Added with a free update on January 8, 2019.


    Upgraded Suit (Peter Parker)

First Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man

An original suit themed around Kamen Rider. It is included with the remaster and was added to the original PS4 version in a free update on November 22, 2020.


  • Art Shift: This suit is rendered in a cel-shaded anime style in a similar vein to the Spider-Clan Suit above.
  • Cosmetic Award: Has no associated suit power.
  • Shout-Out: Towards Kamen Rider, especially the Heisei-era Riders.

    Armored Advanced Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f6fd7f2b_3332_4910_a60d_0e34b3d3b076.png

An original suit that serves as an upgrade to the Advanced Suit. It is included with the remaster and was added to the original PS4 version in a free update on November 22, 2020.


  • Canon Foreigner: The fifth suit created exclusively for the game.
  • Cosmetic Award: Has no associated suit power.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's an armored version of the Advanced Suit.
  • Expressive Mask: Like the MCU and default/advanced suits, the eyes of this suit show Peter's expression in cutscenes or in Photo Mode. Unlike those suits, the frames of the lenses change shape instead of having the mechanical shutter design, similarly to the Into the Spider-Verse suit.

    Hybrid Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b2c7407c_cac5_445c_8213_e0907429453a.png

    Advanced Suit 2.0 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/advanced_suit_20_7.JPEG
First Appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man 2

An update to the Advanced Suit made in the first game, this new suit has a slightly more traditional appearance to it and features four mechanical spider legs to help Peter in combat.


  • Costume Evolution: The new suit has a slightly different, more tactical design than the original Advanced Suit, as documented here. The suit has a deeper shade of red, a slightly smaller Chest Insignia, and a new belt design among other updates.
  • Expressive Mask: The suit's eyes carry on the mechanical shutter design, allowing them to change shape depending on Peter's emotion, similar to the MCU suits.
  • Mythology Gag: The new suit features four mechanical arms inspired by the Iron Spider suit(s).
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Four mechanical spider arms can emerge from the back to aid Peter in combat.

    Black Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_suit_1.JPEG
First Appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man 2

The Venom symbiote when bonded with Peter. For the symbiote itself, see its page.


  • Ambiguous Syntax: Peter growls that Kraven (gameplay trailer)/The Lizard (main game) "got away from us" seconds before Miles lands at his side, making it unclear whether he's talking to the fellow superhero, or it's another sign of the symbiote's corruption.
  • Bio-Armor: The suit is an armor made from a living symbiotic entity.
  • Combat Tentacles: Peter fights by using the symbiote's tentacles to lash out at enemies.
  • Composite Character: The suit has the white eyes and spider-emblem of the classic black suit, but the armor-like, plated texture of the black parts is a (less heavily armored) take on the militaristic look of Agent Venom. Which makes sense because before it bonds with Peter, the symbiote manifests as a take on the Agent Venom armor when bonded with Harry.
  • The Corruption: The symbiote is shown to turn Peter more aggressive and aloof.
  • Evil Costume Switch: While Peter is still heroic, he noticeably acts far more aggressive with the symbiote equipped.
  • Evil Is Visceral: The symbiote has a slimy design to it while bonded with Peter, and it definitely makes him act more aggressive.
  • Gameplay and Story Segregation: The symbiote is supposedly weak to loud noises, but this doesn't come up in regular gameplay, only scripted sequences.
  • Instant Armor: The suit resembles body armor, and Peter is shown forming it over his Advanced suit on command in the gameplay reveal.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • The armored look of the costume is reminiscent of Flash Thompson's Agent Venom costume from the comics.
    • One of the New Game Plus exclusive suit styles turns the spider symbol and the hand arrows red, to match the initial concept art from the 80'.
  • Palette Swap: Initially averted, as the story-related symbiote suits didn't have any suit styles until the March 2024 update. Even then, the styles are only available in NG+.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Peter audibly screams in distorted anger when some symbiote powers are used, symbiote surge being the most obvious example.
  • Super Mode: The Symbiote Surge ability causes the Black Suit to temporarily transform into the Symbiote Suit and greatly augments Spider-Man's powers, letting him perform brutal takedowns.

    Symbiote Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/symbiote_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man 2

The Black Suit's evolved form. At first, the Black Suit only assumes this form as its Super Mode when using Symbiote Surge, but it eventually adopts this form by default after touching the meteorite. For the symbiote itself, see its page.


  • Ax-Crazy: In this state, the Venom symbiote is capable of sending Peter into a blind rage, even causing him to attack his own friends.
  • Bio-Armor: Unlike the Black Suit, it's far more pronounced with its visible veins and looks less like a costume/armor and more like a second skin. Also, it's capable of puppeteering Peter's sleeping body for a whole night when being ambushed by Kraven's hunters, often roaring like an animal and attacking indiscriminately.
  • Combat Tentacles: Just like when it was the Black Suit, Peter fights by using the symbiote's tentacles to lash out at his enemies.
  • The Corruption: While the Black Suit already made Peter more aggressive and threatening, the Symbiote Suit makes him act openly hostile towards everyone around him, regardless of whether they're friend or foe, and eventually causes him to attack MJ and Miles.
    Peter: [while fighting Kraven] I'll tear you limb from limb.
  • Dark Is Evil: Downplayed as while it doesn't turn Peter into an outright villain, it does end up corrupting him even more than the Black Suit already was. The Symbiote Suit retains the Black Suit's dark color scheme and makes Peter act openly hostile towards everyone around him, regardless of whether they're friend or foe.
  • Evil Costume Switch: This is far more pronounced than with the Black Suit, the Symbiote Suit has a far more jagged spider emblem and several visible veins.
  • Evil Is Angular: Compared to the Black Suit, the eye lens and spider emblem become more jagged in design to help showcase just how much influence it now has on him.
  • Gameplay and Story Segregation: As with the black suit, the weakness to loud noises doesn't apply in regular gameplay, only scripted sequences.
  • More than Mind Control: In this state, the Venom Symbiote is capable of influencing Peter's thoughts and actions, such as convincing him that he needs to keep the symbiote to be a better Spider-Man when he was previously dead-set on giving it back to Harry, giving him commands when in combat, and making him attack his friends.
    Symbiote: [while Peter is fighting Kraven] Kill.
  • Mythology Gag: Like with the black suit, one of the New Game Plus exclusive suit styles is black and red, referencing the initial concept art for the comics version.
  • Palette Swap: Originally averted as with the other story-related symbiote suits. The March 2024 update added suit styles to them all, but only in NG+.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: The Symbiote Suit shows up when Spider-Man throws down with Kraven's hunters after obtaining the Black Suit for the first time, fighting much more viciously than usual—especially when it takes over Peter while he's asleep, roaring and snarling at Kraven's hunters as it brutally mauls them. As the symbiote's hold on Peter increases, this becomes its default appearance and it corrupts him into being vengeful and violent towards friend and foe alike.
  • Unstoppable Rage: During the black suit arc, the symbiote surge ability is treated this way; Peter lets out an angry, distorted scream and his regular acrobatics are replaced by much more brutal, tendril-aided beatdowns which can take out regular mooks in one or two hits.
  • Voice of the Legion: When wearing the symbiote, Peter's voice becomes distorted by Power Echoes as he succumbs to its control.
  • Wham Line: While it was unclear with the Black Suit, Peter's response to Doctor Connors' attempts to contact Oscorp to destroy the symbiote after being exposed to the meteorite leaves out any ambiguity regarding its corruption of the Spider hero.
    Dr.Connors: We need to call Oscorp. We need to destroy it.
    Peter: Destroy us? (beat)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlet_iii_suit.JPEG

    Superior Spider-Man Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/superior_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: Superior Spider Man #14

His body dying from years of punishment, Dr. Otto Octavius initiated a mad scheme to stay alive, swapping his personality and memories with Peter Parker's. As Peter died in Otto's body, he begged Otto to continue being a hero, which he tried to do as the so-called Superior Spider-Man. However, when Norman Osborn resurfaced and destroyed virtually everything he built up, Otto relinquished control of Peter's body to a remnant of Peter's personality, proving that there's only one Superior Spider-Man and that's Peter Parker. Unlocked at Level 15.


  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Like the two Iron Spider suits, this suit will change the shape and color of Peter's mechanical arms to match its debut appearance.
  • Mythology Gag: Its fourth color variation turns it into a The Superior Octopus' suit.

    Arachknight Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arachknight_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: Infinity Wars #3

When Gamora, daughter of the Mad Titan Thanos and member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, obtained the restored Infinity Stones, she stored the souls of the universe into the Soul Stone while “folding” the universe, fusing everyone’s souls together with another. Spider-Man found his fused with Moon Knight to create Arachknight, a Peter Parker who defends New York while dealing with the four personalities in his head. When Gamora’s damage was undone, Arachknight and the other “Infinity Warps” heroes were allowed to exist separately. Unlocked at Level 20, or immediately if you pre-ordered the game.


    Into the Spider-Verse Noir Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/into_the_spider_verse_noir_suit.JPEG

The suit worn by the Peter Parker of Earth-90214B. Unlocked at Level 22.


  • Art Shift: The suit is rendered in the same style as it is in the film, and even comes with the Vibe the Verse suit mod, which alters Peter's frame rate to be on twos like in the film.
  • Badass Longcoat: Features a trenchcoat as part of its design.

    Secret Wars Civil War Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/secret_wars_civil_war_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: Civil War Vol. 2 #1

When the Incursions that brought about the end of the Marvel Multiverse ended with the destruction of Earths-616 and -1610, Dr. Doom of Earth-616 used the stolen power of the Beyonders to bring together random remains of various worlds, creating Battleworld. One of those remains was the Warzone, where the Superhuman Civil War still rages on. Spider-Man is a member of General Steve Rogers’ army at the Blue, fighting to one day be reunited with Mary Jane and their daughter. Unlocked at Level 28.


  • Mythology Gag: Includes a backpack that deploys Falcon's wings when gliding.

    Webbed Black Suit 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/webbed_black_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: Spider-Man 3

The Black Suit of Earth-96283. One night, the Venom symbiote crash-landed on Earth inside a mysterious meteorite and hitched a ride on Peter's motorcycle, where it proceeded to bond with the hero. Under the influence of the symbiote, Peter became more aggressive and angry, ruining his relationship with Mary Jane before realizing that it was changing him. In desperation, he would tear off the suit and leave it behind in a church, where it would bond with disgraced Daily Bugle photographer Eddie Brock to become Venom. Unlocked at Level 31.


  • Gameplay and Story Integration: Despite being a variant of the Black Suit, which typically grants Peter black webbing made out of symbiote biomass and Combat Tentacles, the Webbed Black Suit uses the standard white webbing, and is basically a standard Spider-Man suit (that said, the suit is invulnerable to cosmetic damage like the other symbiote suits). This is actually faithful to its appearance in Spider-Man 3, where it's simply a Status Buff and doesn't give Peter any of the more esoteric symbiote powers, complete with retaining his white webs.
  • The Symbiote: It's the Black Suit of Earth-96283, revealed to be a symbiote and ultimately bonding with Eddie Brock to become Venom.

First Appearance: Fantastic Four Vol. 6 #22

During the Cotati Invasion, Franklin and Valeria Richards made a call to recruit the All-New Fantastic Four but only got Spider-Man and Wolverine. To the kids' surprise, Reed had made the two official members, feeling they were old and mature enough. Giving Spider-Man and Wolverine new costumes to replace their damaged ones, the four set out to rescue Jo-Venn and N’Kalla, Kree and Skrull children captured by the Cotati. Unlocked at Level 38.

    Classic Black Suit 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/classic_black_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man #252

The Black Suit of Earth-616. While on Battleworld, Spider-Man attempted to find a machine to repair his costume and webshooters, only to find a strange ball that coated him in an alien costume. However, upon returning to Earth, Reed Richards revealed it was actually a symbiote and removed it from him. A failure to reclaim Peter led to the symbiote bonding with disgraced reporter Eddie Brock, creating Venom. Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, designed a cloth variation for him, but PTSD from Venom scaring Mary Jane means that Peter only brings it out when it's serious. Unlocked at Level 50.


  • Mythology Gag: Each of the color styles is a reference to different symbiotes from other media
  • Purple Is the New Black: Its second Suit Style is tinted purple, based on the Earth-1610 version of Venom.
  • The Symbiote: It's the Black Suit of Earth-616, which was revealed to be a symbiote and later bonded to Eddie Brock to become one half of Venom.

First Appearance: Spider-Man: No Way Home

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/life_story_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: Spider-Man: Life Story #6

On Earth-19529, Peter Parker's heroics were untethered to the throes of Comic-Book Time and went from the 1960s to the 2010s. This costume is what Peter wore in his final adventure, trying to stop one last plan of Dr. Doom's alongside Miles Morales. In this reality, Peter instead obtains this suit as a final gift from Harry after completing all EMF missions.


  • Old Superhero: By the time Life Story Peter went on his final adventure in the suit featured in-game, he was 72 years old and had grey hair.

    The Final Suit (SPOILERS) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anti_venom_suit.JPEG
First Appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man 2

The Anti-Venom Symbiote, the result of Martin Li's powers purifying the remnants of the Venom symbiote in Peter's body.


  • Adaptational Backstory Change: While the symbiote's origins remain largely unchanged, having been created by Mister Negative's powers interacting with trace remains of the Venom symbiote, its first host is Peter instead of Eddie Brock and has a more beneficial relationship with him as it doesn't cause him any harm or attempts to remove his powers.
  • Adaptational Wimp: While the Anti-Venom symbiote retains the caustic effects on symbiotes and immunity to their standard weaknesses from its original incarnations, it also allowed Eddie Brock to purify people of diseases and toxins, heal the injuries of others, and regenerate from having his head blown apart by a shotgun blast. While this version of the Symbiote might posess some form of Healing Hands, it's regenerative properties are not displayed.
  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: The Anti-Venom Symbiote from the comics is originally hostile toward Peter; not out of any genuine malice, but out of a misguided attempt to "cure" him as it believes his superpowers are a disease. In this game, the symbiote has no actual will of its own and helps Peter as it gives him an extra advantage over the symbiote thralls and even Venom.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Nobody suggests giving the Anti-Venom symbiote to Harry, so it's currently unknown if it retains Venom's ability to keep illnesses in check, or whether or not Peter could even transfer the suit to anyone else.
  • Bio-Armor: The suit is an armor made from an organic entity, and unlike the Black and Symbiote Suits, Peter's the only one in control.
  • Combat Tentacles: Like the Black and Symbiote Suits, Peter fights by using the symbiote's tentacles to lash out at enemies.
  • Composite Character: Peter has never been the host of the Anti-Venom symbiote at all in past media. This usually falls to either Eddie Brock (as Anti-Venom) or Flash Thompson (as Agent Anti-Venom).
  • Discard and Draw: Replaces the Black Suit and retains all of its abilities, but also features some new ones, particularly being able to do extra damage to other symbiotes.
  • 11th-Hour Superpower: Gifted to Peter in the third act. It also grants him another set of skills to use in addition to the ones previously afforded to the black suit.
  • Gameplay and Story Integration: After obtaining this suit, Peter no longer yells in anger while using symbiote powers (letting out a grunt of effort instead), and the whispers heard during symbiote surge are absent.
  • Gameplay and Story Segregation:
  • Healing Hands: Its abilities allow Peter to cure the symbiote invasion.
  • It Can Think: A notable inversion. Despite being formed from traces of Venom left in Peter's system, Anti-Venom is the only symbiote in the game that never shows any signs of having a mind of its own, suggesting it isn't sapient (like in the 616 comics universe where it first appeared).
  • Light Is Good: A white symbiote that allows Peter to combat the symbiote invasion.
  • Magic Enhancement: It's created when Martin Li purifies the remnants of the Venom symbiote in Peter's body.
  • Man of Kryptonite: It deals extra damage toward Symbiote enemies, with Peter using it to purge Venom from Harry's body.
  • Mythology Gag: Its large eyes are designed to resemble Todd Mc Farlane’s distinct take on the Spider-Man costume.
  • Palette Swap: Initially averted, just like with the other two storyline-related symbiote suits. The New Game Plus update gave the suit three new styles, although they are exclusive to NG+.
  • Super Mode: Takes over as the suit used for Peter's Surge mode attacks after it's obtained.
