While Spider-Man video games have been letting players swap costumes for over two decades now - with even thePS1Spider-Mangamehaving a few to choose from - Insomniac’s firstMarvel’s Spider-Manreally raised the bar, including suits from across the hero’s lifetime, from both movies and the comics.Marvel’s Spider-Manhad more than enough suits for fans to enjoy, butMarvel’s Spider-Man 2is truly going above and beyond with its own selection of Spidey suits.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Features More Suits Than Both Spider-Man and Miles Morales
When players finishMarvel’s Spider-Manfor the first time, they’ll have access to 28 unique Spidey suits right off the bat. The City That Never Sleeps DLC gives players access to nine new Spidey suits, and with a total of 10 suits being added to the game as free updates and as part of the PS5 remaster,Marvel’s Spider-Manhas a total of 47 suitsoverall. With it being a much smaller game,Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Moraleshas just 20 suits for players to choose from, though each one is very distinct.
Though there are definitely some duds in both games, the vast majority ofMarvel’s Spider-ManandMiles Morales' Spidey suits are excellent, coming from some truly iconic comic runs and movie adaptations for both characters. In total, there have already been67 suits in Insomniac’sSpider-Manuniverse, and even though a ton of Spidey’s most popular suits have already been adapted, that isn’t stoppingMarvel’s Spider-Man 2from going above and beyond.
The addition of so many extra suits inSpider-ManandMiles Moraleswas a real highlight of both games, and when looking atSpider-Man 2, it’s clear that Insomniac has recognized that, and has chosen to embrace it fully. According to the most recentState of Play trailer,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2will have over 65 individual suits, spread across both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. These 65 suits will come from both completely original designs, and from classic comic runs and adaptations, with the fan-favorite Sam Raimi Symbiote suit being shown in the recent trailer.
As if it wasn’t enough to have almost as many suits in the game as bothSpider-ManandMiles Moralescombined,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is also adding multiple variations of each suit, bringing the total amount of unique Spidey suits to over 200. According to the most recent trailer, each suit inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2will receive at least one extra color variation, and the vast majority seem to be receiving a total of four extra color schemes, which could in theory bring that total number of suits closer to 250 in the end. From what fans have seen so far, it seems as though these color variations are going to contain a ton of references in and of themselves, with color schemes based on the Prowler seemingly being available for at least one Miles suit, and anAmazing Fantasyblack and red variation seemingly being available for Peter’s classic suit.
