Spider-Man: Homecoming - 11 Things From The Comic You Need To Know

8. Fans Didn't Like The New Suit Then Either

Because comic book fans are typically not the most welcoming of change, they rejected the black suit before it was even introduced. A group wrote a letter to Marvel asking them to scrap it, but were rebuffed as the issue of Secret Wars introducing it hadn't yet been published.

This is despite the fact that the suit was actually the idea of a fan, after Marvel put out a call for new ideas and ended up paying 22-year-old fan Randy Schueller the princely sum of $220 for his.

Compare that to the inevitable - and frankly daft - criticisms of the latest cinematic Spider-Man costume: nothing really changes.

How It Would Work In The Film

Well, clearly it wouldn't, though comic book movies do have something of a habit of poking fun at themselves. Whether the Spider-Man franchise is currently still too fragile for that sort of thing remains to be seen, however.
