10 Spider-Man Costumes More Effective Than The Original
6. Stealth Suit
We’re first introduced to the Web-Heads Tron-like outfit on the cover of another milestone issue, Amazing Spider-Man #650. At the time, Peter was working at Horizon Labs and would often incorporate tech he’s researching at his day-job into his nightly work as NYC’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
After encountering a new Hobgoblin with a debilitating super-sonic laugh, Petey gets to work on building a suit that would be able to withstand it. The end product is a dark suit with neon green lines emanating from a spider symbol on the chest, the only thing missing is a CGI Jeff Bridges and a light-cycle.
The suit is made from a “omni-harmonic mesh” and based on a design by Hank Pym aka Ant-Man. This fictional tech grants it several capabilities:
Camouflage Mode: Makes him virtually invisible and absorbs any sound he makes. The green neon can be seen only with special lenses, making him visible to allies and himself.
Sound Proof Mode: Turns the neon parts red and disperses any sound directed at Spidey, keeping him safe from Hobgoblins laugh as well as any other sonic attacks.
Anti-metal Spiders: Made of Antarctic Vibranium, they can be fired from his web-shooters, dissolving any metal they come in contact with.
Unstable Molecules: Also found in the Fantastic Four’s costumes, making it nearly indestructible and able to fit the wearer perfectly.
The suit would eventually make its way to Kaine, another of Peter’s clones. With the suit stuck in its red mode, Kaine became the second Scarlet Spider as he served as Houston Texas’ local spider-themed superhero.
