Spider-Man's 10 Best Costumes Of All Time

9. Captain Universe Spider-Man

For a brief, but memorable run of issues in the early 1990s, the €œfriendly neighborhood Spider-Man€ obtained the great cosmic power of Captain Universe. Some of Spider-Man'€™s new abilities included flight, x-ray vision and telekinesis, while his own existing powers (strength, speed, spider-sense) were amplified exponentially.

In the final chapter of the €œCosmic Spider-Man Saga,€ Spidey becomes aware that his new powers are derived from Captain Universe, and this discovery allows him to physically embody the cosmic superhero. Artist Erik Larsen blends elements of the Captain Universe entity€™s blue and white color scheme, with the classic red and blue Spider-Man costume.

In this form, Spider-Man uses his immense power to stop a Tri-Sentinel from destroying a nuclear power plant. By the end of the battle, Spider-Man loses the Captain Universe abilities, and he physically goes back to the red and blues.
