The Suit Style system that was implemented in the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 video game was a great addition as it gave some alternative looks for some of the suits for both Spider-Men to mix it up a bit. With that being said, there are some styles that are just straight up bad. In this article, I will be sharing what I think are the worst alternative suit variants for both Peter and Miles in the game.
Joe’s List
The Smoke and Mirrors Suit (Style 2) for Miles Morales (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (

Honorable Mention: Smoke and Mirrors Suit (Style 2)
This style isn’t actually terrible. I only felt like mentioning it because of how boring it is. This style looks very similar to the default style, and the difference is that the green and purple colors have swapped places. While that may seem like a significant change, it still looks very similar to the default style that I thought that there was nothing different about it until I looked at it more closely. So, while it’s not a bad style by any means, it doesn’t really look that different from the original style to justify its existence.
The Symbiote Suit (Style 2) for Peter Parker (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (

10: Symbiote Suit (Style 2)
This style brings only one change to this suit, and that is to color of the spider symbol, making it red instead of white. What this style is going for is to make it look like the Black Suit’s original concept design in the comics, where the symbol was going to be red before changing it to the iconic white symbol we all know. However, this style doesn’t work that well on this design of the suit, and it’s a redundant style because Style 1 for the Black Suit is this exact design, and it honestly looks better on that suit than it does on this one. I get what Insomniac were going for, but I think this style would’ve been better if the eyes were red as well. With that said, it’s still not the absolute worst, which is why it’s at #10.
The T.R.A.C.K. Suit (Style 3) for Miles Morales (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (

9: T.R.A.C.K. Suit (Style 3)
While I really like the T.R.A.C.K. suit, this style just doesn’t really do it. The turquoise color is just a very odd choice, and it doesn’t really look all that great. In all honesty, the biggest problem with this style is that it’s just very forgettable. There are over 250 suits (when taking all the styles into consideration) to choose from, and with so many good ones and a good amount of bad ones, this style kinda just gets lost in the shuffle of all the suits to choose from.
The Arachknight Suit (Style 3) for Peter Parker (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
8: Arachknight Suit (Style 3)
For a suit that is supposed to be a cool combination of Spider-Man and Moon Knight, this style doesn’t invoke that at all. This style makes him look like the McDonald’s version of Spider-Man with the color choices obviously looking like Ketchup and Mustard. I really have no idea how this style was given the thumbs up to be made as one. Maybe someone over at Insomniac just wanted a good laugh.
The Great Responsibility Suit (Style 1) for Miles Morales (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
7: Great Responsibility Suit (Style 1)
This actually would’ve been a cool style for Miles’ original training suit, but there’s a massive problem with it: they didn’t fully commit to the black and white style because the shoes and spider symbol on the back are still red. Why? The shoes I could maybe get because of a possible licensing issue with Adidas, but why is the back spider symbol still red? It just makes this variant seem really lazy because it could have actually been a cool black and white variant, but the splash’s of red just ruin it.
The 10th Anniversary Suit (Style 2) for Miles Morales (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
6: 10th Anniversary Suit (Style 2)
A lot of the suit styles in the game for both Spider-Men are just the inverted versions of the suit, and some of them actually do look pretty good. Unfortunately, the inverted style for Miles’ 10th Anniversary suit is not one of them. Red and Black is usually a great color scheme, but the way this suit is designed definitely doesn’t compliment red being the predominant color and I also just don’t like the all black eyes. It just doesn’t look all that great.
The Scarlet Spider Suit (Style 2) for Peter Parker (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
5: Scarlet Spider Suit (Style 2)
I get what this style is going for: it’s supposed to reference Ben Riley’s other alter ego of Chasm. It’s just the colors of the Chasm suit don’t translate well as a recolor of the Scarlet Spider suit. The green lines around the suit don’t look that good with the way the lines are designed on this suit, and the sweat shirt being black completely throws the design off because it looks so different to the rest of the suit. The colors being kind of all over the place make this a very poor design.
The King In Black Suit (Style 3) for Miles Morales (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
4: King In Black Suit (Style 3)
I just don’t really like this style. It looks like Miles came straight out of a swamp, and maybe that’s what Insomniac were going for, but I just don’t think it looks that good. Some of the Symbiote enemies in the game are green, but they’re green is a bit lighter, so I think that’s what they should’ve gone for instead. Overall, the third style for Miles’ Knull-inspired suit just doesn’t work for me.
The Advanced Suit (Style 3) for Peter Parker (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
3: Advanced Suit (Style 3)
Way to take a good suit and make it look kinda ugly. Apparently, this style is supposed to reference the Oscorp-made suit Peter wears in some of the more recent comics, but it sure doesn’t look like it. The colors just look very muted and it just doesn’t look very good. In all honesty, it kinda looks like someone threw up on the Advanced Suit, and something went wrong with the washing machine, making this the result. So yeah, I don’t really like it.
The End Suit (Style 1) for Miles Morales (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
2: The End Suit (Style 1)
This style is one of the styles where I think Insomniac just threw random colors at a suit and called it a day. The red and purple just look very off and the all white eye lenses don’t make it look any better. It looks like Miles is wearing pajamas. It’s also very off putting because this suit is from an elseworlds comic where Miles DIES. So, I just can’t take it very seriously.
The Kumo Suit (Style 2) for Peter Parker (Captured in Photo Mode of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5) (
Joseph Schuhmann )
1: Kumo Suit (Style 2)
The Kumo Suit wasn’t my favorite Spidey suit to begin with, and this style definitely doesn’t do anything to change that opinion. None of the styles for this suit do, really, but this one takes the cake for looking almost nothing like what you think of when you think of Spider-Man. He looks more like he would fit in with the Blue Man Group. That is why it takes the #1 spot as the worst suit style.
