The wall-crawler's wardrobe has never looked better.

Spider-Man PS4 releases this Friday. Nope, this isn't a drill folks - soon you too will be able to don Steve Ditko's iconic red and blue outfit and take to the skies above New York, as well as a few others along the way. And by a few, we actually mean a lot.

There are a grand-spanking 27 suits to collect in the base game for Insomniac's PS4 exclusive, and with three more at least set to follow in the first DLC featuring Black Cat, chances are if you have a favourite Spidey costume, it's probably going to be in the game.

Of course, a Spider-Man title hasn't placed such a great emphasis on the character's wardrobe since Web of Shadows, which saw the wall-crawler shift between his classic red suit and the symbiote first seen in 1984's Secret Wars. This time around, it's because Insomniac have introduced a brand new design for players to pick apart, and while it raised a few eyebrows at first, it's fair to say that (both thematically and literally) Peter's Advanced Suit has proven to be a hit.

But what of the wardrobe more generally? With some costumes obviously looking cooler than others, it's time to pick apart Insomniac's best translations of Spidey's classic garbs, and see which one comes out on top.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
