Spider-Man might have the most iconic costume in comics, but the hero has actually had a number of prominent looks over the years, many of which appeared in Marvel’s Spider-Man on PlayStation. The sequel from Insomniac Games probably won’t be coming out for quite some time, but Reddit user KiraQueenBitesZaDust shared a really great idea for a costume that didn’t appear in the first game: Spidey’s look from the animated series of the 1960s! While the costume is technically the same as Spider-Man’s classic design, it’s missing some details, and that specific look has become the subject of some hilarious memes over the years.

It’s easy to imagine how the ’60s animated Spider-Man design would be a lot of fun in the game! Fans of the first Marvel’s Spider-Man have created a lot of great images through photo mode, and this particular addition would only make it better. Memes from the show have inspired everything from t-shirts to LEGO sets, so the idea doesn’t seem too unlikely. If there is one potential hurdle, however, it’s the fact that animating the costume in a way that proves faithful to the show might prove difficult. That said, Insomniac did an amazing job replicating Miles Morales’ design from Into the Spider-Verse, so anything is possible!
Marvel’s Spider-Man released on PlayStation 4 in 2018, followed by Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales in 2020. Peter Parker will likely return as the main character in the next game, but Miles Morales might also play a major role. In addition to those two titles, Insomniac Games released Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart earlier this year, so the studio has been quite a bit busy over the last few years! Hopefully fans won’t have to wait too long for the next Marvel’s Spider-Man game, and when it does release, maybe we can get the ’60s Spider-Man alongside it!
Marvel’s Spider-Man is available now, exclusively on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game right here.
