7. Symbiote Spider-Man
The black symbiote Spider-Man costume just looks badass, there’s no real need for explanation here. It represented a massive boost in powers, change in attitude and eventually led to the introduction of a new fresh villain. It was so popular that when Peter Parker finally got rid of the symbiote, he had another black Spider-Man outfit made.
Known for having the dual woes of being a teen and having a bunch of costumed freaks repeatedly try to murder him, Spider-Man is a character who slips in and out of some pretty bleak narrative and the black outfit is reflective of some of the darker times in the character’s life.
6. Thor
Let’s face it, Vikings are pretty badass. If you were to tell me you don’t want to be one you’d be a liar. So what can be more awesome than a Viking? A Viking God of course!
The film version of this outfit is pretty much in line with the Ultimates version of the Marvel character, with a sleek smooth finish to the armour design that take the best of medieval design and space age futurism and combines it all into one ass-kicking package.
Rather curiously he’s transformed from a straight up Norse God to an alien super being for whom the ideas of magic and technology are indistinguishable.
