Spider-Man Fans Really Don't Like Marvel Rivals' Spidey Design
Spider-Man fans really don't like the Spidey suit that is being used in Marvel Rivals, with complaints directed at how overdesigned it is and the lack of a prominent emblem on the back.
Alongside superheroes like Batman, Wolverine, and Superman, Spider-Man has one of the most beloved and recognisable costumes in all of comic, film, and gaming history.

As you can imagine, this has garnered a lot of mixed responses from Spider-Man fans. Although the
