Spider-Man's 10 Best Costumes Of All Time
6. Scarlet Spider Hoodie
Superheroes are often attired in capes and cloaks but hooded sweatshirts don't typically enter into the equation. And yet when the Spider-Man's clone, Ben Reilly, was reintroduced in 1994, artist Tom Lyle developed arguably the most famous hoodie in comic book history. Ben's blue sweatshirt works thematically for what the character represents at the time of his reappearance, which kicks off the start of the controversial Clone Saga storyline.
Spider-Man's clone was last seen during the Bronze Age era and was believed to be dead. Instead, readers learn that the clone had been living as a hermit for five years before making his way back into New York City to throw a wrench into Peter Parker/Spider-Man's life.
Its only a sweatshirt, but the hoodie is a nice touch by Lyle, as it subtly communicates the characters outcast status. Plus, for those of us who arent into hardcore cosplay, Ben's blue hoodie is an easy piece of clothing to purchase and throw-on to demonstrate our Spider-Man fandom.
