Over the past few years spidey had numerous spiderman costumes I thought the 2 best costumes/names he had were Dusk and the Alien costume. They were both badass looking Which were your favs?

I like the original, of course, but the symbiote was pretty cool, as well as Scarlet Spider.

The Scarlet Spider Suit rocked, but the movie version was neat as well.

Classic red and blue, the Ben Reilly Spidey suit and the Amazing Bag-man.

I like the black costume(very graphic, he should still wear it on occasion, screw Venom) and the original drawn red& black(like ditko intended, rather than red and blue)with webbed armpits.

I liked Ricochet, and the symbiote.

The original is the best by far, but the one thing that bothers me about it is the 'belt' wrapping around the back, I don't know why, it just does.

The classic red and blues are just too iconic not to be the best. I am fond of the alien costume look, though.

The black suit is the best.

I liked the design of the black-and-white costume, but I didn't like the idea of his clothing having super-powers of its own. Kind of took away from his 'everyman' appeal when his wardrobed was more tricked-up than James Bond's.

It'd be nice to see the Black cloth suit again. That was pretty sick. Of course, that'll happen the day that MJ goes away or dies.

The original red and blue takes the cake for me, with the Scarlet Spider costume coming in second. As far as his other costumes go, I've never seen a Spider-Man costume I didn't like.

The original is legendary.

The OG costume is an icon, but the Alien one is a lot cooler...can't decide.

Black costume! Quite fond of the Scarlet Spider look as well.

Erik Larsen's red, and black Spider-Man costume is my favorite Spider-Man costume ever, and it's simply a slight alteration of the original.

A close second is the "alien costume".

I really like the way that McFarlane did it: big eyes, and red and mostly black with thin highlights of blue. The straight red-and-black sometimes looks too flat to me.

i love the look of Ben Reilly's Spidey costume. the dark blue and red with the big Spider on the front and back.

The original followed by the symbiote.

The black costume was always my favorite and the most practicial, IMO. Think about it, he's out fighting crime so why would he want to draw attention to himself by wearing bright colors?

My favorite was the Blue and Red suit that Ben Reilly wore, with the extra large spider taking up most of the chest. I thought that was the best looking ever, with the original coming in a close second and the Venom suit third.

Anyone remember the hideous Spider-Armor that made its (to my memory) only appearance in Web Of Spiderman #100? Foil cover, of course. It was 1993 and an issue with a number that's a multiple of 25, whadda you expect?!? But the armor, hideous. Sorry, just remembered that.

Remember it?

Of course.

Like a bad dream, I thought I had choked it with an acidic polybag!

They even made an action figure out of this costume. I would know, cause I bought one of the darn things.

The original and the symbiote for me. I know, those are the easy choices. But they're aeasy for a reason dammit! :)

I really like the 2099 outfit too though. I just think that skull/spider chest emblem is awesome.
I feel exactly the same.

1- Original

2- Black & white symbiote costume (or non-symbiote)

The Ben Reilly redesign of the classic suit also looked very cool I will admit.

:evilangry I like original red and blue suit the Alex Ross concept spider suit which is the black and red spider suit and of course the venom suit.

Black suit. But I do think that Venom looks rather lame.

And the "bag man" suit has pretty darn funny.

And the "bag man" suit has pretty darn funny.I completely agree.

Anybody like the Leo Zelinsky concept suit from ASM #502? The one we saw in #500 in the future. I thought it was pretty snazzy.

oh yeah, I forgot about the Alex Ross design, that was pretty freakin cool too

The original Spider-Man suit is the most ingenious design for a costume in history...IN HISTORY!!!!! NO OTHER COSTUME EVER DEVISED SURPASSES IT!!! :D

The original, normal suit, is great but my favorite was always the symbiote costume (black costume). The other black suit was cool too.

My favs are the Scarlet Spider hoodie one and the Spiderman Unlimited one. The future one from the cartoon and the comic and all that nanotech.

I like that the Reilly suit lives on in Spider-Girl. Venom too I guess keeps the black around, but I'm not counting that. :mad:

Amen! I though the red/black variant of the original was great. Too bad it didn't seem to catch on.

—A!

The red and blue costume. It's the best superhero costume ever. It's functional, iconic and looks cool. Is there any wonder why they didn't change it for the movies?
