One of the purest joys of any Spider-Man video game is slipping into the hero's most legendary costumes. Whether it's a movie-inspired look or a deep-cut comic book variant, each suit lets players feel like they're truly stepping into the web-slinger's shoes. Marvel's Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 have all delivered impressive wardrobes, but there are still some iconic threads missing from the digital closet.
With Marvel's Spider-Man 3 on the horizon, now is the perfect time to demand the suits that fans have been clamoring for. Here are seven costumes that absolutely need to swing into the next game.
The Vibranium Suit (Miles Morales)
In the comics, Miles Morales was recently infected by a vampire, and Black Panther stepped in to help with a vibranium suit that changes color based on Miles' bioelectrical energy. It's a sleek, badass look that stands out in Miles' relatively small wardrobe. Since Miles doesn't have decades of costume history like Peter, this suit would add some much-needed variety to his collection. Insomniac, take note.
The Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) Suit (Peter Parker)
The new Ultimate Spider-Man series has been a massive hit, and its costume is a love letter to Steve Ditko's original design. With a classic red-and-blue palette, a simple spider emblem, and those iconic large eyes, it's the suit fans have been begging for. If the developers won't give us a straight Ditko suit, this is the next best thing.
The Captain Universe Suit (Peter Parker and Miles Morales)
When Spider-Man taps into the Enigma Force, he gets a cosmic power-up and a dazzling new costume. Both Peter and Miles have worn the Captain Universe suit in the comics—Peter in 1989's Spectacular Spider-Man #158 and Miles in 2018's Spider-Geddon #5. This suit could be a shared unlockable for both characters in the next game, and fans would absolutely lose their minds.
The Unlimited Suit (Peter Parker)
Spider-Man Unlimited was a weird, wacky, futuristic cartoon that took Spidey to space. The suit he wore there—complete with a web cape and a unique color scheme—is a cult favorite. It's so distinctive that it almost looks like a different hero, but all the classic elements are there. A web cape? Come on, that's just cool.
The Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) Suit (Peter Parker)
The original Ultimate Spider-Man series from 2000 remains a fan favorite, and its costume is instantly recognizable thanks to the oversized eye lenses and slightly different red-and-blue shades. PC modders have already added it to the games, but it's time for an official version. This suit is pure nostalgia and deserves a spot in the next installment.
The Marvel Rivals Suit (Peter Parker)
When Marvel Rivals launched, players were thrilled to see Spider-Man in a fresh, modern suit with some interesting design tweaks. It's a sleek, game-specific look that would translate perfectly into the Insomniac universe. Plus, it's voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, the same actor who plays Peter in the games, so it's a natural fit.
The Prowler Suit (Miles Morales)
Miles' uncle Aaron Davis has worn the Prowler suit in both comics and the Spider-Verse movies, and it's a fan-favorite design. While Miles has a version of it in the games, a more comic-accurate Prowler suit—complete with the purple and green color scheme—would be a welcome addition. It's a suit that honors Miles' family legacy while looking undeniably cool.
These suits represent the best of Spider-Man's comic and TV history, and they're the ones fans are most excited to see. With Marvel's Spider-Man 3 on the way, Insomniac has a golden opportunity to deliver the ultimate costume collection. Let's hope they're listening.
