10 Weirdest Spider-Man Costumes

Your friendly neighborhood author poked fun at the Future Foundation's sartorial choices earlier, but those were light-years ahead of the Fantastic Four's first attempt to set Spidey up with some new duds.

While Mr. Fantastic studied Spidey's fancy new black suit, the Human Torch dressed Spider-Man in whatever he could find laying around, leaving the Wall-Crawler shirtless in red pants, black boots, and a brown paper bag over his head. Like a drunken Santa Claus, Spidey bumbled around the city, patrolling as the Bombastic Bag-Man and basically being a laughingstock for the entire comic.

Come on, Spidey, surely a truly bombastic bag-man would collect some empty soda cans, cash them in, and acquire better clothes than these.

Of course, one could argue that it's a step-up from his other bag-headed look, where he wore a Fantastic Four outfit sans shoes with a brown bag. It's a toss-up. A sad, sad toss-up.
