Spider-Man's 10 Best Costumes Of All Time
5. Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales)
The death of the Ultimate universes Peter Parker in 2011 sent shockwaves through the world of comics, especially when Marvel announced that the Ultimate Spider-Man mantel would be passed on to a new teenage character, Miles Morales. But Miles has proven to be a very viable alternative to Peter, and his slick, black and red-webbing costume, as designed by artist Sara Pichelli, is a real visual standout.
From a storyline perspective, after Miles receives powers from a genetically-enhanced spider (similar to Peters origins in both the mainstream and Ultimate universes), he tries his hand at being Spider-Man only to be criticized for wearing the same costume as his tragically deceased predecessor.
Agreeing that the classic red and blues were in bad taste, Miles creates a new outfit that combines elements of Marvels black Spidey suit, with subtle touches from the classic red and blues. Miles will continue to wear this new costume when his series reboots this April. And there's no reason for him to change. The Ultimate suit is an instant classic and helps differentiate Miles visually from his predecessor. Pichelli's sleek design is a perfect demonstration of why she received a 2011 Eagle award for best newcomer artist.
