Pete Ross                     

First Appearance: Marvel Versus DC #3

During the crossover between Marvel and DC, Pete Ross’s attire seamlessly blended elements from the original Spider-suit and Superboy’s inaugural costume. The torso design gracefully stopped at the emblem, an ingenious fusion of the Super-Soldier logo with a spider motif replacing the traditional “S.” Adding a touch of urban flair, Ross incorporated a custom leather jacket into the ensemble, providing both style and functionality. Additionally, black palms and backhand imparted a subtle yet impactful contrast to the overall design. Notably, the right leg of the suit featured a distinctive yellow holster, housing Ross’s Web-Pistol for swift and accessible use. This unique amalgamation served as the precursor to Ross’s vision, laying the foundation for the identity he aspired to embrace.

Ben Parker                 

First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 3) #13

In the alternate reality of Earth-3145, Ben Parker’s suit was a testament to the creative ingenuity of his nephew, Peter. The distinctive top of the ensemble featured an inverted red spider, cleverly designed with the mask serving as the abdomen. Superimposed upon this arachnid emblem was a conventional black spider logo, creating a visually striking and symbolic composition. The remainder of the suit elegantly embraced a deep naval blue hue, completing a harmonious blend of colors that not only reflected Peter’s craftsmanship but also conveyed a sense of purpose and style befitting the legacy of the Parker family in this unique dimension.

Uncanny Spider-Man

Parker, empathizing with his fellow hero, provided Nightcrawler with an old suit to aid in his new life. The attire predominantly featured a sleek black design, accentuated with vibrant red elements on the logo, cuffs, ankles, soles, and the distinctive tail. The logo, a defining aspect of the suit, showcased four elongated arms reaching out to the shoulders, while a red tail emerged from the space between the four bottom ones. This outfit was meticulously crafted to complement Nightcrawler’s unique appearance, complete with pointed ears, three-fingered gloves, two-toed boots, and the iconic tail, ensuring both functionality and a distinctive aesthetic for the agile mutant.

Notably, the mask and a portion of the torso retained elements reminiscent of the classic suit, providing a subtle nod to Spider-Man’s iconic appearance. Distinct red segments adorned the shoulders, chest, and palms, creating a visually dynamic and personalized aesthetic. The webbing pattern was strategically incorporated onto the red segments on the back wrists and ankles, adding both style and a functional touch. Each shoulder joint prominently displayed the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, symbolizing Parker’s association with the organization in this particular reality. This ensemble reflected a creative departure from the conventional Spider-Man costume.

The belt, in particular, stood out with a classic spider-mask design adorning the buckle, adding a touch of iconic symbolism to the ensemble.

A black utility belt adorned Bruce Banner’s waist, offering both practicality and a contrasting visual element to the overall ensemble. The belt featured a distinctive red circle buckle, contributing to the suit’s unique color composition. The red lenses on the mask added a touch of familiarity, connecting this alternate version to the traditional Spider-Man aesthetic.

Punisher         

First Appearance: What If? The Punisher #1

This design choice was inspired by the distinctive appearance of the Radioactive Spider in this reality, identified as a Steatoda nobilis, or Noble false widow, whose cephalothorax strikingly resembled a human skull. The back logo, rather than being purely aesthetic, served a functional purpose, adding an innovative twist to the suit. This amalgamation of spider and vigilante influences not only honored the character’s roots but also incorporated the unique characteristics of the radioactive spider in a creative and symbiotic manner. Peter Parker’s suit in this reality became a symbol of the fusion of his own identity and the extraordinary powers bestowed upon him by a distinctly formidable spider.

The use of black lenses on the mask enhanced the stealthy and tactical nature of the ensemble. Adding practicality to the outfit, Parker incorporated an utility belt that served as a functional tool for his missions. Notably, his web-shooters were modified to double as firearms, providing a dual-purpose weapon for both web-slinging and combat situations. This adaptation showcased Peter Parker’s ability to adapt and innovate, where shadows and subtlety became his allies.

Prolonged exposure to these sound waves can ultimately lead to the separation of the symbiotic aliens from their hosts. Additionally, the suit has the capability to instantly short-circuit various types of electrical devices and equipment, showcasing its versatility in combat and technological disruption.
