Insomniac Games has been able to add various Spider-Man costumes into the hitMarvel’s Spider-Manon PlayStation. However, fans would still love to see some moreSpider-Man costumes in the gameor even make their way into the potential sequel, some of which weren’t even worn by Peter Parker.
For those new to the character, Ben Reilly was a clone of Peter Parker from the 1990s created by the supervillain mad scientist called The Jackal. However, one of the good things that plenty of fans enjoyed from this era was Reilly’s costumes. While players may be familiar with Ben Reilly’s Scarlet Spider costume as analternate suit inMarvel’s Spider-Man, this costume comes from the seriesThe Sensational Spider-Man.

A Reddit user called AlwaysBi recently showed someMarvel’sSpider-Manartwork of the suit worn by the character Ben Reilly in the 1990s. The image was created by Twitter user @low_res_jpg who rendered the suit in the video game’s graphics style. Overall, the artwork gives fans a look at what this Spider-Man costume could look like if it were in the game.
Ben Reilly starred inThe Sensational Spider-Man, where he took over as Spider-Man while Peter was out of the picture at the time. The suit still possessed the same red and blue color pattern fromthe classic Spider-Man suit, but it has more blue on the legs and arms with a larger spider symbol on the chest. It also has Reilly’s web-shooters on the outside of his sleeves, just like his Scarlet Spider outfit.
The costume first appeared inThe Sensational Spider-Manseries and the suit was originally created by comic book writer Dan Jurgens, who also penciled for the series' first seven issues. Jurgens later resigned from the comic, and writer Todd DeZago and penciler Mike Wieringo took over for the rest of the series' run. Ben Reilly would continue to wear the costume for his time as Spider-Man up to his untimely demise. However, the clone hero would return years later, though not in hisSensational Spider-Mansuit.
For now, it’s too early to say which Spider-Man costumes could make it into Insomniac’ssequel toMarvel’s Spider-Man. But it’s safe to say this costume is a strong candidate. Especially since the first game already has Reilly’s first costume in it, so Insomniac can complete the set. Among the many things players would want in the next game, Reilly’sSensational Spider-Mansuit would be a welcome addition by fans.
