Crystal Dynamics has shown off some of the costumes that will be available for Spider-Man when he's added to the PlayStation version of the game later this month. Among the final line-up are suits based on his look from Secret War and Spider-Man Noir.
The seven suits revealed so far on the Avengers website can be seen in the gallery above. The 'classic suit' is, as the name suggests, based on Steve Ditko's original drawings of Spider-Man, with blue and red fabric panels and the black-line webbing design. That look has been updated for the Iconic Suit, which is the bespoke design for Marvel's Avengers. Looking a little closer to the suit from the Insomniac games, it has more textures and eye lenses inspired by John Romita Sr.'s artwork.
In the comics, Peter’s attempts to live a normal life are often thwarted by the need to be Spider-Man.

The Bugle Boy suit dresses Spider-Man in jeans, a shirt, and a sweater, with an SLR camera slung over his shoulder. It's a nod to Peter Parker's civilian identity as a photographer for the Daily Bugle paper. If that's a little too pedestrian for you, a more heroic sci-fi look can be found in his Secret War suit, inspired by Gabriele Dell'Otto's work from the Secret War comics.
There are two Spider-Armor suits – the Mk I and Mk III – which show the evolution of the armoured spider design. The first, based on art from Web of Spider-Man issue 100, has an almost hockey armour look to it, and a motorcycle-inspired helmet. The Mk III, meanwhile, is inspired by the Ends of the Earth suit from Amazing Spider-Man #682, and features much sleeker, heavier duty armour panels painted with red metallic.
As Peter matured in the Marvel’s Avengers world, so did his abilities at creating specialty Spider-Man armors.

The final suit shown in the news update is the trench coat-clad Noir suit, inspired by the Spider-Man: Noir comic series. Based on Carmine Di Giandomenico’s art, it has an aviation-like face mask with goggle lenses, and a sweater embroidered with the spider logo.
Crystal Dynamics notes that these suits are just "some" of the final designs, and more will be revealed on the Avengers' social channels in the time before Spider-Man is added to the game.
The first look at Avenger's Spider-Man was recently revealed, which promised his arrival in the PlayStation versions of Avengers on November 30. He'll arrive as part of the With Great Power hero event. That will be the next major change for Avengers, following the removal of paid XP boosters.
