Spider-Man 2 PS5: 10 Alternate Costumes It MUST Include

The first game had a crazy amount of suits, so what should be included in the sequel?

Insomniac struck gold with their take on the wall-crawler. Marvel's Spider-Man (commonly referred to as Spider-Man PS4) is a well-crafted love letter to one of comic's most beloved characters. The game subverted nearly everyone's expectations, managing to gain nearly 200 award nominations in the process.

Critics rained down compliments towards the game's imagery and mechanics, both of which were highly polished. But what really made the game stand out was the incredible narrative that the developers had put together. It's commonly referred to as one of Spider-Man's best storylines throughout any medium, so high praise indeed.

A huge part of what makes the game so enjoyable is the amount of customisation involved. Playing as an older Peter Parker offered players the chance to use lots of different tech combinations and special abilities. While in the visual department, there was a whopping 28 suits available at launch, with several free DLC suits released later on.

Now while that's a lot of options for Spidey's wardrobe, there are still plenty of looks they left out. Plus, with the likely addition of a playable Miles Morales in the sequel, the developers have a lot to choose from for their highly anticipated follow-up...

10. The Spider

It’s odd to imagine our hero being anything but a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, but over in Earth-15, Peter Benjamin Parker is anything but heroic. Much like Cletus Cassidy, this version of Peter was already a bloodthirsty killer, yet became much more sinister when he merged with the Carnage symbiote.

Going by “The Spider”, Parker joined up with the Weapon X team, alongside Deadpool and Vision. But when new member Hyperion joined in Exlies #38, things started to get uncomfortable. Taking the place of Storm, who was injured during a fight that ended with the murder of Bruce Banner, the villain has Carol Danvers immediately throw herself at him.

Once the two have finished up their extracurricular activities, Hyperion reveals his intention to take over the world and kills Vision for daring to question his actions. Peter joins the new leader in his quest for domination, thrilled at the possibility of killing as many people as he wants to. Eventually, his murderous reign comes to an end at the hands of Firebrand who turns him to pile of ash.

Sure, this version of Peter Parker may not be what everyone wants to see, but the costume looks incredible and it would be great to see it included in the next game.
