So I had this idea for a discussion and there's not really a good place for it, so I'll put it here for now and worst case we can ask Stumpy to move it later.

LSS, I was watching a video focusing on some of the latest merchandise to come out of Across the Spider-Verse (we just got another wave of ML figs, Figuarts is getting their own out the door, etc) and I was reminded again how much good Spider-Verse did for Pavitr and Hobie, specifically in the design department. I have gone on record that while I liked Pavitr in particular as a character, ultimately I passed over him and Hobie because I felt both were too derivative of the OG outfit.

That got me thinking about other characters I'd love to see get the animated Spider-Verse treatment. Not every character needs it... I think the gimmick with the Spider-Geddon Spiders-man would be less effective if it wasn't for the classic Spider-man costume, for example. But, counterpoint... Uncle Ben Spider-man from the original Spider-Verse. What even is that stupid freaking costume? It's like, trying to kind of be old school military, but afaik Ben was never in the army? It makes even less sense given that Peter is the one designing it?

I dunno. I don't think every single costume they've done has been a winner (They tried to lampshade it with the bleeding arm jokes, but Miles' Across costume is demonstrably worse) but I was curious if there were any other outfits anyone else would love to see get a Spider-Verse revamp.
