Spider-Man's 10 Best Costumes Of All Time

2. Spider-Man 2099

What was first conceived by Stan Lee and John Byrne and dubbed "The Marvel World of Tomorrow" eventually evolved into Marvel'€™s 2099 universe, a new timeline that aptly took place in the year 2099. Of all of the 2099 titles, Spider-Man 2099, which was crated by Peter David and artist Rick Leonardi, remains the most successful, especially with the news that Marvel is relaunching the book after nearly 15 years this July.

Leonardi€™s take on this futuristic costume has played a large role in the character€™s broad appeal to comic book fans. Spider-Man 2099 (aka Miguel O'Hara) maintains the red and blue color scheme of his modern day predecessor but diverges wildly from there. Rather than a small spider on his chest, O'Hara sports a large red spider-skull. The skull theme is also used on O'Hara's mask.

In terms of enhanced abilities, Spider-Man 2099€™s costume has a web-like cape attached to his back, and claws. The Spider-Man 2099 costume is considered such a visual treat, when artist Ryan Stegman had an opportunity to add his own unique stamp on it for a 2013 Superior Spider-Man storyline, he chose to keep Leonardi€™s original vision fully in tact. €œSpider-Man 2099 doesn'€™t need any updating.
