Come in epic cosplay or your favorite geeky t-shirt, there’s something fun for everyone in Cosplay Central! Here’s another awful design from the comics come again to plague the video game world. It looks more like a roller derby team uniform or maybe the gear for a game of Jump Ball in Starship Troopers. Remember how the Velocity Suit looked like a bad repainted action figure? Take the classic Spidey suit, make it out of molded plastic with trenching cuts at the shoulders, and basically make it look like a hastily-painted Stormtrooper figure from the Kenner Star Wars line, and you get the Velocity Suit.

We’ll also be taking a look at the comic book history that shaped these Spidey suits. Spider-Man is defined by sharp Spidey suits with high-tech upgrades. Spider-Man commemorates that part of his life with a suit based on his time in the ring. Barry originally created the ring for practicality, as well as a symbol to remind himself of why he is the Flash. In the comics, Barry Allen uses the speed force to create an aura around him that acts as a shield between him and friction. At the end of Avengers: Endgame, Captain America, played by Chris Evans, handed his iconic shield to Mackie’s character, The Falcon, setting up the story arc to be explored in Disney’s upcoming show. In addition to the recent photo, set photos from the MCU’s upcoming Hawkeye series show Hailee Steinfeld in full costume as Kate Bishop, brandishing her signature bow and arrows.

Comic book role: Helen Mirren is seen for the first time as villain Hespera in photos taken on the set of Shazam! Without going into spoilers, I was thrilled to see some of the Easter eggs and comic book references that were sprinkled throughout, as well as a few characters who show up in surprisingly significant ways. Interestingly, Yennefer is one of the less altered characters from book to game, with more notable changes being the removal of Triss’ scars in The Witcher 3, and some alterations to Ciri’s scarring as well. But while the leaked characters weren’t talked about at the panel, anime costumes Niitsuma did mention a few of the gameplay tweaks. And not to mention all the possessions and impersonations! This is an outfit that would totally fit at a rave, at Fashion Week, and when fighting crime. The anti-grav ability gained has its uses, but we could easily live without it and the trade-off between crime-fighting and fashion crime puts this one out of pocket.

Seriously, anybody wanting to check out this hackneyed fashion choice merely needs to troll around the campus of any secondary education campus in the late weeks of October. Anybody who thought cashing in on the “punk rock craze” a full 40 years after the fact was some kind of a good idea for a gimmick was simply grasping at straws. The power-up is effective but kind of subtle: a “sounds of silence” mode prevents thugs for calling for backup. Another holdover from the comics, the “righteous sound” power-up may be somewhat effective but sounds anything but righteous. Sounds like your line of work makes you a natural for cosplaying and chatting with players. It was like there was something in the air. Because there are no power-ups here.

The specific nature of her resurrection is still to be determined, but either way there seems to be a pattern here. Although it’s not the height of fashion, Spider-Man’s homemade suit is still an endearing ensemble. We’re starting to see fashion companies turn into tech companies and vice versa, but there are still gaps in the language the two fields use and the life cycles of the products they make. While we know that more suits will be added to the game through DLC starting in October, we’re only going to be listing the suits that were available in the game on release day.
