Marvel's Spider-Man Wiki

The Advanced Suit, also known as the White Spider Suit or Advanced Suit 1.0, is a suit players may equip for Peter Parker in Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, where it serves as a primary suit in the first game.

In the first game, it can be unlocked through story progression, and costs 1 Backpack Token and 2 Crime Tokens in order to be crafted. Peter Parker makes this suit after the Classic Suit is damaged in the opening sequences of the game, with Otto Octavius providing the plans for the suit in the mission Something Old, Something New. It comes with the Battle Focus suit power.

Designed exclusively for Marvel's Spider-Man, the Advanced Suit is an original suit created by Insomniac Games in an attempt to modernize the design of Spider-Man's costume while also paying homage to the original design.[1] It is Spider-Man's default suit that he crafts and wears for a majority of the game's story.

History[]

After his original suit becomes damaged during a confrontation with Wilson Fisk,[2] Peter heads to his workshop at Octavius Industries to repair it. While repairing the suit, however, he is caught by Otto, who deduces his identity but appears to misinterpret it as Peter being responsible for designing Spider-Man's equipment. Pretending to think he is merely the wall-crawler's assistant, Otto assures Peter that his secret is safe and leaves him to his work.[3]

When Peter falls asleep while working, Otto decides to help him out. Noticing that the suit is damaged, he takes the liberty of designing some improvements to it so Peter can enhance the suit and "help protect Spider-Man." Otto's assistance is vital in introducing the Advanced Suit, which can then be crafted using his blueprints.[3]

After Otto completes his transformation into the villainous Doctor Octopus later in the story, Peter builds an armored upgrade for the Advanced Suit in order to defeat him, using the same materials as Otto's weaponized arms.[4]

Between the events of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 prequel comic, this suit is replaced with a new version.

Appearance & Capabilities[]

Concept art

The Advanced Suit's design is based on athletic wear and compression clothing.[1] The most prominent aspect of the suit that distinguishes it from other Spider-Man suits is the white spider symbol. The suit has a light-red-and-blue color scheme, and features large white spider emblems on the chest and back instead of the smaller, traditional designs. These spiders have much longer legs, and the one on the chest ends at the thin blue piping of the suit. The shoes have also been modernized, now featuring a sneaker-style design instead of knee-high boots.[1]

The suit is equipped with several technological expansions to increment its overall efficiency, having its own built-in camera, radio, and communication system. While wearing the costume, Spider-Man is also odor- and scent-free.[5] Furthermore, the lenses of the suit's mask are expressive and can squint inwards as well as outwards. The lenses have a built-in AR heads-up display system, allowing Spider-Man to analyze his surroundings in great detail; he can also view his web fluid, his current health state, and global position.[2]

In addition to technological enhancements, Peter has also further improved upon the material design of his Advanced Suit, with each of the comprising colors on the outfit actually representing something specific in functionality.[1] The red part of the suit is made out of a reinforced and thicker material, providing Spider-Man some armor and protection, while the blue part adds flexibility.[1] The white parts, which are positioned on his gauntlets, feet, and chest, are made of carbon fiber and are designed to absorb as much impact as possible, thus offering the most protection.[1]

When this suit's true successor was created, Peter implemented a set of Web Wings and mechanical Spider-Arms derived from Otto's research. [6]

Suit Power[]

The Battle Focus suit power, which unlocks with the Advanced Suit, allows Spider-Man to charge up Focus at a much faster rate when activated, enabling him to perform Finishers (Triangle + Circle) in quick succession, or heal (Down) constantly.
