Miles Morales' Hellfire Gala Look Needs To Be Spider-Man's New Costume

Marvel's Spider-Man has one of the most iconic costumes in comic book history, but even icons must change from time to time. The original suit worn by Peter Parker also had a black-and-red variant that was worn by Miles Morales, the Spider-Man of Brooklyn. Miles has worn the same superhero outfit for over a decade (with one major exception), but the upcoming Hellfire Gala event reveals another suit that breaks the Spider-mold...and should be seriously considered as the superhero's main uniform.

Peter Parker's original suit, designed by Steve Ditko, was quite a revelation in costume design for superheroes. The pattern of webs across the entire outfit allowed artists to easily convey movement much easier than through solid colors (unlike the Flash's suit, for example). It was also one of the first major superhero suits to cover the character's entire body; no exposed hands or face. This allowed readers to more easily imaging themselves as Spider-Man, regardless of age, ethnicity, sex and other physical characteristics. Miles Morales wore a very similar suit until 2021 — but not all fans were satisfied with the new design.

Designed by a young fashion design aficionado whom Spider-Man saved, the new suit breaks the tradition of a form-fitting costume in favor of a baggy sweatshirt, red eyes instead of white, a face mask, and losing the web pattern. Fans weren't entirely pleased with the design, but the latest iteration of Miles' suit is a blend of the old and the shockingly new. Designer Russell Dauterman has reimagined Spider-Man in time for the next Hellfire Gala event of 2022 and it's the most drastic departure from the Ditko design in wallcrawler
