Spider-Man: Ranking All The Movie Costumes Worst To Best
With great power comes a great costume, but which one is the best?
Spider-Man has been around since he first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1961. Since that time, he has made appearances in multiple animated television series, video games, comic books, novels, board games, and just about everything else you can slap an image of Spider-Man onto.
He has also made occasional appearances in movies, with a few more recently than he had in the past. Since 1977, Spider-Man has appeared in two live-action television series and eight feature-length movies, most of which had a costume change or two.
Just like the character on the printed page, Spider-Man likes to change things up with his duds every now and again. The movies typically featured at least two costumes in each outing, which is why it's high time they were racked and stacked in a ranking!
Ranking these is entirely subjective, so if you have a favorite Spider-Man costume from the movies, sound off in the comments and tell the world which one you like the best!
11. The Amazing Spider-Man (1977) TV Series
In 1977, Spider-Man swung onto American television sets with the premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man. The series began with a pilot movie and continued until July, 1979 with only 13 episodes airing. While it was a ratings success, CBS gave it the axe a bit prematurely.
The series was relatively true to the source material featuring familiar characters J. Jonah Jameson, Aunt May, Robbie Robertson, and of course, Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
The production quality for the show lands it in the "pretty cheesy" class, but given this was the late 1970s and superhero television was still in its infancy, that's not too surprising. Spider-Man's webbing was basically white rope and there wasn't much money put into the costume.
The spandex suit looked much like Ditko's early drawings, but the eyes were a bit off-putting. They had mirrored lenses, which didn't look good against the bright red of the mask. He also wore an enlarged silver bracelet on his right wrist, which matched his silver belt that looks like a knock-off Batman Utility Belt... only silver. Considering this was the '70s, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.
