All 15 Spider-Man suits ranked from worst to best

6. Sam Raimi's original suit

Early 2000s superhero movies were a little bit strange in a way. They seemed to try and break into mainstream media by being more serious than the comic books they were based on. Even if the first two original X-Men movies are absolutely fantastical, key characters like Wolverine lacked a comic-book-accurate suit. Instead, Fox opted to go for something a little bit more "mature" to display on the big screen. Perhaps all of this was done to avoid suffering the same fate as the arguably childish Batman & Robin (which, I kind of get). However, there was one superhero movie that didn't shy away from adapting the look and feel of its source material, and that was Sam Raimi's Spider-Man.

Not only did Tobey Maguire's first suit successfully include all the iconic features of a classic Spider-Man look, but it also redefined what the wall-crawler would look like on the heads of many fans. The web pattern famously stands out from the costume instead of being embedded in it as it appeared on comic book pages. Furthermore, the eyes are far more triangular and "rigid" as well unlike the ones in other masks our friendly neighborhood hero has worn. However, the big spider logo on the back and the bright blue and red color palette make it, by all means, a proper Spider-Man suit. One that looked outstandingly great for a movie that's more than twenty years old now.

Watching this version of our friendly neighborhood hero swing through the sky for the very first time in live-action was thrill-inducing and jaw-dropping. It would've been different for the worse if his costume wasn't on par with the amazing special effects and perfect soundtrack playing on the back of the scene. Fortunately, Sam Raimi and Sony managed to design an iconic look that still feels timeless to this very date.
