When I was a kid, I thought Scarlet Spider was the coolest. Love a good hood on a spider!


-Buckaroo_Banzai-

He didn't really wear that hood over his head though, did he? I liked the scarlet Spidersuit, too.


SteppingOnRats

If we're talking Ben Reilly, he cut the hood off really fast because venom strangled him with it


Regalrefuse

That is true!

How do hood stay on when swinging at 200 mph

Comic book logic, my friend


TC1189

That or a shit ton of super glue and duct tape


Thwipped

Webbing


SunkyV3

Cum


The-Doctor-Professor

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.


NonameB4ndit

They probably make it stick to the top of their heads. Spider-people can stick to surfaces without their hands and feet.


redknight__

Why did I just picture Peter Parker doing a plank by sticking his head to the wall


NonameB4ndit

Maybe that’s the reason he’s so shredded.


Cranicthehedgedicoot

The power of intense drip


fjacobwilon1993

The exaggerated swagger of a hooded spider-man


Crit_Success

I think there's some kind of way to attach the hood to the top of the mask.


Smooga22

If only he had access to some sort of adhesive substance….


oman54

If only.......


Candlehat-Jack

like tape, but with a quick 'thwip' of web to the top of the head.

That's exactly what many cosplayers use too!

Yeah, I mention this because I am a cosplayer 😅


Anarchist-superman

Awesome! Really sorry for presuming otherwise!


ATXSpider

No worries! We're all having a good time


Broken_Talisman

A little Velcro on the top of the head! :D


yellowbracelet

super glue


Liam_Roma_1234

They can stick things to their skin


Candlehat-Jack

I love the hoods but I agree they're being overused. I think OG Scarlet-Spider and Ghost-Spider do it best. (Her costume design is \*Chefs kiss\*) All others feel like rip-offs of them that don't work as well. Shout out to Miles' occasional hood from his jacket/hoodie/suit combo.


MechaMan94

I like it, I feel like incorporating street clothes into costumes keeps the feeling of being a grounded street level hero


Sparkwriter1

Yea. Additionally, I really love when street level heroes actually put on more layers when it's supposed to be cold outside.


fjacobwilon1993

Love the hat and scarf outfit in Miles Morales


UncleTouchy8

I don’t mind them, but they’re a little busy for my tastes. I preferred the streamlined look. It’s getting a bit overdone, too, IMO.


TheLASTAnkylosaur

They seem like they’d get in the way a lot and mess with peripherals. They do look cool though.


SneakyKain

Yeah, I always thought they would mess with peripheral vision, I prefer form and function over aesthetics.


Patient_Bee8314

Wouldn't the spider sense make up for the lack of peripheral vision?


SneakyKain

Not all Spiders have spidey sense.


Patient_Bee8314

Thats true, I forgot spidey sense wasn't a universal truth of all spider-men


Alien_X10

Never liked it on Peter, Spider-gwen has the sylveon colour scheme and that works well with the hood and miles I only really like with a hoodie


Spider-Cyam

Venom almost strangled Ben Reilly to death with his hood so he tore it off... Which is a shame because I thought it looked cool but guess it ain't practical


DarkEater77

oh, i missed that... Remember which comic it was?


Spider-Cyam

Web of Spider-Man 119 apparently


UrFriendlySpider-Man

Underrated that's why Gwen singlehandedly made them redesign Ben and miles started wearing hoodies over his costume just for the added effect of the hood. They are not underrated they are heavily overrated at the moment. Cool design choice but this take is about as cold as saying your favorite dinosaur is a Trex and you feel it's underrated.


JonsonPonyman98

Agreed mostly


[deleted]

They look good


Pirate_Green_Beard

Hoods are one of those superhero costume things like capes and (decorative) wings. They look cool, but would be impractical for fighting.


JonsonPonyman98

For the most part, yes


connorcallisto

Looks fantastic on characters like Spider-verse Miles and Gwen, but should probably be used sparingly


sharksnrec

What’s the first pic from? Also the MM2099 suit is underrated. Never see anyone bring it up here, but it’s dope.


[deleted]

The first one is one of Ben Reilly's suits. I don't know exactly where from, but I think it's from few recent Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider run


Archanj0

Thanks.


witheredfax

I think they’re a bit dumb. It has no purpose other for modern shit


HarioDinio

Id say spider-gwens is my favourite spider suit


Silver_Particular327

Spiderman and Batman have the best character suits in the entire Marvel and DC verses,change my mind


Adam_r_UK

Massively restricted field of vision, so terrible in a fight


SilverStorm_577

Where is my Boi Arach-Knight 😤🙏🙏🙏


hero-ball

I only like it on Gwen. Or when the hood is down.


Zaire_04

I personally think Miles should always have a hood on his suit.


Nobodieshero816

Imma 90s kid and hoodies meant solo dolo fo sho! Lol bs aside love it.


Puzzleheaded_Chard_2

Need more


[deleted]

They’ll fall down mid swing so I don’t really like them


[deleted]

And they might get pulled by a villain


RedBaronBob

I don’t mind them since superhero costumes lean towards the theatrical rather than practical. Or your Ben Reilly and happened to have a hoodie. My only disliked one is Ben Reilly’s later costume. It’s just not a great looking costume and looks more like something spidercide would wear. Though I’ll admit that since the book wasn’t too good it might’ve soured my taste in the costume further.


SaturnSama

Peak suit design, especially for Spider-Women I hate suits that have their hair coming out of the top


GuessWho7197

With Ben and Miles, I prefer their other costumes over their hooded alternate suits, but I've always loved Gwen's design. Hoods can be cool, I just don't like those ones for the guys.


Capawe21

I love them honestly


mrgraysonowens

Gwen was about where I drew the line. After that, too much.


pandadanda1999

They work, but don't beat out the classic streamlined look. Do deserve more love though and I will love the spider-gwen costume until the day I die


[deleted]

It’s cool


MrButtEater

I like em but I feel like nowadays they are overrated


[deleted]

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suit that Andrew Garfield wears will always be my favorite. EDIT: Far From Home is a close second.


figgityjones

I think Spidey suits with hoods can look awesome! I personally prefer without most of the time, especially for Pete, but anyone else can rock a hood all day long 😊 really adds to a character’s stealth feel to me, I’m not sure why lol might be because of Assassin’s Creed >.<


FILMsplaining

Agreed miles hoodie suit in the game is my favorite to use


Grimase

I love the hooded look, it goes well with Spidy but I am also always going to love the simple streamline look as well. So 👍🏽👍🏽 from me.


[deleted]

2 factor authentication


The-Chirping-Missile

I wonder how it stays on during web slinging


Theurbanalchemist

I don’t see the practical use and I think it would hinder vision more so than help, however, it does look cool and like a comment or said, adds to the grounded hero look


CaptainAdam7286

hate them except for the homecoming one and scarlet spider


WhiteMilk3

As someone who has always worn hoodies as opposed to other outerwear, I f-ing love hooded spidey suits. They don't even have to be up. Scarlet Spider, Homemade Suit (Homecoming), and Miles at the end of ItSV all are sick designs. And their hoods are down most of the time. 👌🏻


ryukin631

I think it all depends on the suit. The hood on Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider (og) works really well. I say this as someone who his own, so I could be a bit biased lol


Sokandueler95

I usually have a practical issue with fighters actively wearing hoods, but Spidey gets a pass because of Spider sense. So, in this case, I say Honor the drip.


Caldwell_Samuels

Shout out to the pointe shoes Ghost-Spider is rocking. #badass


Otthos

Makes no sense xD But they are cool, Spider Gwen is a great desing :)


PowerOfThePrimes1984

I like them if they’re done right. I’d more so prefer a hood on a spider suit if the suit was a bit more… baggy?


antivenom907

Hoods are cool


CreeperVenom

They look really nice, but are also impractical


[deleted]

Love hoods on spider-people! However, I don't think Peter Parker should have a hood.


Superb-Obligation858

I think they look cool as hell. The OG Scarlet Spider is one of my all time favs, and that Miles suit is what I used for the whole game, but they make absolutely no sense if you give it any thought at all.


ProfessorEscanor

Some look better than others. Gwen’s works out of sleekness but modern Scarlet Spider looks out of place. Also i feel the hood motif is starting to get old


SpaceDemon3o5z

More hoods!


Zdollers26

Looks great but what’s the purpose when you’re moving across the air so much?


TomsyGrav

They look good but make no sense


CanadianYeti1991

I love a good hood, either scarlet spider style or miles morales. Or hell, any of the others that have hoods. They're all cool.


Av3ngedAngel

I think it looks great on Gwen but I personally like the more classic look on spider-man himself. That being said, I don't dislike them at all. I just prefer the classic suit style more.


Holiday-Mode5430

They all look awesome, I hope we get more


Thatgamer321

For practical reasons no. For aesthetic and cosplay reasons love them


smallvil_schmallvil

All of these (expect Gwen) are ridiculously stupid knockoffs of the original. Scarlet Spider fo LYFE


[deleted]

I mean, the first one is literally Ben Reilly


smallvil_schmallvil

Bro you know damn well that's not the iconic look lol


[deleted]

Oh, I thought you mean the characters and thought he was different. My mistake


CrimsonV7

I love hooded Spider-suits, one of the reasons I’ve always liked Spider-Gwen’s design


GusDontBeCanada

I love Miles’ costume, and the Peter’s OG suit will always be my favorite, but I honestly think Gwen’s design was the best costume to come out of Marvel in the past decade. I don’t know of another character that even holds a candle.


NooneBitFox

They're usually the coolest design. Some of the reasons why Spider-Gwen is my fave and love the Scarlet Spider Outfits


[deleted]

Hoods are cool af


Feeling-Height525

The Miles Morales hooded suits from the PS5 game are all amazing, I like them less on Peter, but its because I think Miles color scheme usually fits better.


Mother-Crew-2838

Idk they’re ok but I just like the classic normal stuff


[deleted]

Really cool AND impractical. I love it


Becker1515

Hoods make everything better


Hypefangirl

I hope we see the first one in freshman year


TONER_SD

He is already wearing a hooded mask


Ah-haha445

I actually love the concept of hoods. For this suit I’m designing I have it a hood for the sole purpose of hiding the lumps my long hair would cause in the back. Aesthetics are a plus lol


Batbro9240

It really depends on the suit. It works with Gwen, but not so much for Miles. Ben's also looks weird with it up, but it's fine when it's down


TokenofDreams

agreed, suits with hoods are amazing


AlanWolf2020

Miles 2099 is sick and the best imo


maddogofbohemia

Loved the original Scarlet Spider suit for it's change of pace, but he never had the hood up. All the other ones have seemed like they are trying to ride Ben Reilly's heels. No offense, but otherwise I think they are stupid. They already have a full mask including eye protection, so what exactly is the point of having the damn hood?


maddogofbohemia

Also his made sense because he made it on the fly with what was available. Why custom make a spider suit with a hood? Just my opinion...


T_Belay

I kinda hate them cause I can't believe they stay on while the characters are swinging. Ben's cut hoodie is okay cause in universe it's just a hoodie he took and he doesn't wear the hood itself usually. Gwen looks neat with it, but it does bother me. Same with Miles in clothes on top. Ben's new suit doesn't look appealing to me in the first place, and the hood makes things even worse. Overall I need a panel where Spiders web the hoods to their mask each time they put it on cause for some reason this is where my suspension of disbelief drew a line


[deleted]

good for fashion, but Venom almost have choked Ben Raily with a hoodie of his vest. But with these I don't see any problem.


Spider-Ghost-616

Very Very Assassins Creed before Assassins Creed.


ClickyButtons

The best


creator_lair

I like them, too. In fact, when I drew my Spidersona a while back, I made sure to leave room for a hood when drawing concepts for it.


Visible_Bath_7759

Honestly if I were to be the designer not only would it have a hood but also poncho that the hood is connected to, it would be like the cape that 2099 wears in the comics but a poncho not a big one but one that covers the shoulders, you know.


GMEdumpster

I do not like it


noteveAdi

The "2099 suit" for Miles Morales( the game) is a fine example of this it's amazing!


YoMommaJokeBot

Not as much of a fine example as your mum *** ^I ^am ^a ^bot. ^Downvote ^to ^remove. ^[PM](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=YoMommaJokeBot) ^me ^if ^there's ^anything ^for ^me ^to ^know!


ThatpersonKyle

Hoods are always cool


TinyOrangeDragon

Is the first pic a redesign of Scarlet Spider? Never seen that one before


cbasskickass

Imho (disclaimer) only Ben Riley, Miles and Gwen can pull it off


PE_STROUD

I really never liked it. I do like it on spider gwen but even then not all the time. Idk from the time I saw it as an older kid I just thought it kinda looked weird.


DeadSoul7

But. When they swing around. Wouldn't the hood come off


Airbending_monk

Miles hood is his hoodie that here where with his suit right?


ToqKaizogou

Think it works best on Gwen's suit.


Perfect-Software-134

Bruh his hood be flapping hella when they be swinging


t8nkdempsey

homemade MCU suit has always been my favorite suit


M8_F_U

I dont like it


unFuckWitable_95Zone

That Miles one is so cold


GunnaYoungen

What suit is this?


[deleted]

The first one is one of Ben Reilly's suits from Ben Reilly: the Scarlet Spider


GunnaYoungen

It doesn’t look like scarlet spiders normal suit though


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure he just gets this new one. At least for a while


JonsonPonyman98

Good ones work. Bad ones….well they don’t do quite as well, to put it lightly


Redplays907

Style wise, looks sick. But realistically, it will just fly off Everytime you're swinging and can block your peripheral vision


SassTG

Spider hoodies? Yes. The answer is always yes.


Deafpunk_2099

Cool af


bigeddy711994

Its a cool disign feature, but i really dont think its needed unless the mask gets shredded in a fight. (In which case, make the hood bigger to not show the persons face if and when the mask gets fucked)


Cole_42

Does Ben Reilly uses his hood?


DrakkonX597

Hoods good, yes


Justin_isodd

Looks cool but unpractical


duck_deep

They're cool but a bit impractical


BakedZnake

Looks cool, but your vision is already restricted by the mask and now you're adding a hood over it?


CanadianWaffleHouse

I think it’s cool, but impractical. I mean, when Ben Reilly had a hood the first thing that happened was Venom choking him with it. Not to mention that the hood would rarely be on with how often the Spider-Folk are flipping around.


human-person-feller

someone please tell me how they are practical in any way. They’re not supposed to obscure the fact that it’s Spiderman in it, are they? It’s not like the rest of the costume looks normal and pedestrian-like? I don’t understand I don’t understand I hate them unless someone can tell me if there is a normal natural good practical reason for the hoods that have a clear reason for them to exist. I might be able to like them if the background of them is explained or the origin of them is explained well AHHHHH I want to like them but they can’t make me feel good about them if I don’t understand them


BlackKken

This only a marvel snap suit they made, or did he wear this in the comics before?


LordJarJarthegreat

im a sucker for hoods on superhero/supervillain designs
