Costume Rating 23: Black Suit Spider-Man

[Podmark]

Today we'll start the set of costume ratings. We'll be looking at the symbiote characters from Marvel comics starting with the man who started it all: Spider-Man!



So what do you think of the black suit costume?


Fun fact: I read somewhere that the black suit costume was originally designed and set in by a fan.

Spidey's Black Suit pretty much was the first costume change that really worked for Spider-Man. As much as I loved the classic Red And Blue Webbed Suit, "Stealth Spidey" (what I called his Black Suit look) just looked so much cooler going after bad guys from the shadows.

Love this suit! Such a simple and effective design. Interesting how later down the road, whenever he is in a dark place (aunt May being shot etc) he puts on a cloth version of this suit. Def my favorite of Spidey's alternate outfits.

4. I like it, it's simple, it's clean, and it works well... it's just not quiiite as good as the classic

It took me a while to adjust to the change, but after a while, this costume really grew on me. I went with a 4 on this one.

4: I'm with pretty much everyone else here.  This is a great costume, a really cool alternate, and a neat design.  The only real reason it gets a 4 in my book is because the classic Spidey-costume is one of the all-time greats, and this just isn't quite as good.

I gave this a 5. I really think this costume is pretty much perfect, even better (though not more appropriate) than Spidey's classic duds. It's also a rare classic costume that looks completely modern without any changes. Just a perfect design.

I dunno, changing Spidey's costume is like, say, putting Superman in armor or pants on Wonder Woman...

*actually PREFERS Wonder Woman with pants* >.>

It's like Venom, with out the awesome monstrous vibe. Still, it's sleek and minimal which is something I love. 4

I actually had the Secret Wars version of this toy when I was younger.... I instantly fell in love with this outfit, and Wolverine's brown and tan one too.
