10 Weirdest Spider-Man Costumes

6. Fear Itself Spider-Man

Fundamentally, Spider-Man is a good guy. He doesn't kill. He, in fact, often endangers himself trying to save his villains from their own worst impulses.

That made it a bit strange during the Fear Itself event, when the Serpent -- Asgardian god of fear and hammer-sharing deus ex machina du jour -- plunged the Earth into total panic, and Spidey responded by donning a new suit with giant freaking spikes on the forearms. (Not to mention a glowing blue web pattern that made him look like a minty version of the Holodeck from Star Trek: The Next Generation.)

This look was extreme, even with Asgard-inspired villains running amok, and sticks out as one of the weirdest and least-necessary costume changes in the Webhead's long career of crimefighting.
