Two New Fantastic Four-Themed Suits Added to Marvel’s Spider-Man
April 4, 2019 | News | No Comments
Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 is getting two Fantastic Four-themed suits today in its latest patch – the Bombastic Bag-Man Suit and Future Foundation Suit.
Announced by the PlayStation Blog, Marvel and Insomniac are celebrating Spider-Man’s connection with the Fantastic Four that dates all the way back to 1963’s Amazing Spider-Man #1, where “our rookie wall crawler tried to join the team – only to end up fighting them!”
The first suit is the Bombastic Bag-Man Suit that is pulled from Amazing Spider-Man #258. In that issue, Spider-Man arrived at the Fantastic Four’s headquarters wearing an alien symbiote costume that would later become Venom.
The Fantastic Four helped him remove the symbiote costume, but he was left in his underpants and needed a disguise to conceal his identity. Spidey borrowed a Fantastic Four costume and Human Torch gave him a grocery bag to hide his face – and thus the Bombastic Bag-Man Suit was born!
The second suit, the Future Foundation Suit, celebrates the moment when Spider-Man actually joined the Fantastic Four, who were then calling themselves the Future Foundation and wore “cool black and white costumes.”
These suits were teased earlier this month and are available for free in today’s 1.14 patch and pad out an impressive list of suits that are included and have been added to Insomniac’s latest title.
Marvel’s Spider-Man, which has sold over nine million units as of November 25, 2018, recently wrapped up its The City That Never Sleeps DLC with the third story, Silver Lining. In our review, we said it’s “a satisfying end to a three-part story that had a couple swings and misses.”
