Summary
Insomniac’sMarvel’s Spider-Mangames have included a wealth of suits from different types of media that the web-slinging superhero has appeared in over the last six decades, offering players the chance to explore its open-world Manhattan map - with Queens and Brooklyn added inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2- in their favorite Spider-suits. While Insomniac’s adaptations of many of these designs were met with high praise from fans, considering just how many comic artists have drawn the hero over the years, players will still have a preference when it comes to specific elements such as eyepieces of spider emblems.
Fortunately, modder TangoTeds has found a way to work around this and give players the chance to take matters into their own hands and design their ideal Spider-Man costume. The “Tango’s Classic Suit - Build-Your Own (Modular)” mod onNexus Modspromisesover 1 million combinations to customize Peter Parker’s Classic Suit, with elements from different eras and artist’s designs, such as the 1960s and ’70s spider-emblem which has its legs pointing down through to more recent designs with the 4-up, 4-down look, or eyepieces such as the smaller John Romita Sr. and Steve Ditko-esque looks through to the much largerUltimateera from the 2000s.

The spider-emblems also come with white variants to match Insomniac’s bold white logo design on its Advanced suits, which were created specifically for theMarvel’s Spider-Mangames.

TangoTeds' Suit Creator Lets Players Customize Their Suits Down To The Finest Detail
From Fabrics to Web-Shooter Nozzles
While spider-emblems and eyepieces are certainly prominent features, TangoTed’s mod goes into far more detail with what players can customize. Elements that most won’t even spot normally outside of the game’s photo mode, such as the web-shooter nozzles or the soles of Peter’s shoes can be changed, andplayers can also add the web wings from the classic comics to the design, which were teased inMarvel’s Spider-Man’s collectible backpacks before becoming a traversal mechanic inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.
There’s also an array of different colors to choose from between a primary and secondary color - which traditionally would be red for primary and blue for secondary. These include richer reds, or the more orangey ones like the default Advanced suit in the game, or even the choice to make the entire suit black by choosing Negative Black as a primary and Black as a secondary. There are also additional “Suit DLCs” that can make these custom suits cel-shaded or match the female character build thatTangoTeds created for mods such as Spider-Gwen, Spider-Girl, or Spider-Woman in the past.

Mods Have Been A Great Way To Bring Fan-Favorite Suits To Marvel’s Spider-Man
Modders Have Added Suits And Characters Insomniac Hasn’t Yet
While mod support isn’t as readily available on the PlayStation versions of theMarvel’s Spider-Mantitles, as soon asMarvel’s Spider-Man RemasteredandMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Moraleslaunched on PC,modders were quick to get to work adding suits the community had been requesting.With the arrival ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, it was clear that there wouldn’t be any more official suit releases coming to the previous entries in the series, so the community had free rein to add their own interpretations from comics and other media.
These included suits such as the one worn by Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of Peter Parker inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2, or the symbiotic black suits - both of which were included officially inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2- as well as fan-favorites from the comics, such as the2000s eraUltimate Spider-Manlookby Mark Bagley, or the suit work by Ben Reilly in theSensational Spider-Manrun. TangoTeds has been a huge contributor to this, adding the suits from the recentUltimate Spider-Manrun by Jonathan Hickman, and taking it back to Peter Parker’s first-ever appearance in 1962 with theAmazing Fantasy #15suit, which has a homemade feel to it that perfectly suits both Steve Ditko’s art style, and the teenage version of Peter Parker in that story.
TangoTeds has also added entire characters that have yet to appear in Insomniac’s games, such as Gwen Stacy - with Ghost Spider outfits from the comics and theAcross the Spider-Verseanimated film-, Jessica Drew from theUltimate Spider-Mantimeline, both Mayday Parker and April Parker’s versions of Spider-Girl, Mattie Franklin’s Spider-Woman, and Cindy Moon’s Silk.Insomniac has teased Cindy Moon’s arrivalinMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s post-credits scene, suggesting that players may get to play as her web-slinging alter-ego Silk in a future title, butTangoTed’s comics-accurate mod provides an early insight as to how Silk might fit into Insomniac’s take on the Marvel universe.
Currently, TangoTed’s customization mod is only forMarvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredon PC, but for those who have the game on PC and are fans of a particularSpider-Manera, it’s certainly worth downloading. It would also be great if Insomniac could incorporate something similar as a suit slot in the upcomingMarvel’s Spider-Man 3, letting players choose between playing as their favorite comic or movie version of the suit, or a completely customized, unique design that takes elements from different eras and spins them into something special.
