Spider-Man's 10 Best Costumes Of All Time

8. FF Spider-Man

After the (temporary) death of his good friend Johnny Storm, Spider-Man is recruited by the surviving members of the Fantastic Four to join their new team, the Future Foundation (shortened to FF). Right before the new team€™s first mission together, Spider-Man preemptively grabs an old Fantastic Four costume out of his closet (perhaps the same one left over from his time as the Amazing Bagman) and declares himself ready to roll.

When the FF tell him that using the old costume is disrespectful to Johnny€™'s legacy, Spidey is forced to suit up in one of the group€™s new black and white get-ups. While Spidey initially carps at the attire, thinking it makes him look like one of his villains, Anti-Venom, he eventually relents and swings into action in the black and whites.

Spider-Man continues to wear this costume in a handful of Amazing Spider-Man issues, and for the first 12 issues of the FF series, until Johnny returns to the team in Fantastic Four #600.

On a personal note, I thought the FF attire was a nice change of pace for Spidey, and the almost clinical black and white color scheme successfully embodied the €œfuture€ in the Future Foundation.
