Spider-Man's 10 Best Costumes Of All Time
3. Spider-Ben
Once the Marvel front office made the shocking decision to replace Peter Parker with his clone, Ben Reilly, aka the Scarlet Spider, in the mid-1990s, it was only a matter of time before Spidey's costume changed too. Fortunately for comic book fashionistas everywhere, the Scarlet Spider duds turned out to be one the more successful changes put forward during the Clone Saga.
Created by Mark Bagley with additional art by Dan Jurgens, the suit debuted in Sensational Spider-Man #0. The new Spider-Ben costume updates the classic red and blue concept by distributing the colors differently (including red and blue gloves) and by placing a very large black spider on Spidey's front.
After Spider-Ben is eventually killed, the costume is adapted for the cult favorite Spider-Girl series, and is also viewed by some as a visual inspiration for Spidey's costume choice in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man film.
