One aspect of Spider-Man that adds to its replay value are the various suits that players can unlock. Not only does each Spider-suit give the web slinger special abilities and buffs, they all have their own unique style and backstory. One fan on Reddit used one of the more unconventional suits found in the game to turn a cinematic cutscene into a comedic masterpiece.
There are 28 suits in Spider-Man, but players will have to spend the game collecting various items and leveling up to unlock them all. The variety of suits spans the Spider-verse, meaning Peter Parker has a special outfit for every occasion. Some suits are harder to acquire than others, so players will not be able to unlock the entire wardrobe until after completing the game. In addition to seeing Spider-Man don the equipped suit while in action, players also get to see them up-close on Spidey during cinematic cutscenes, no matter how ridiculous they may make Peter look.

Making Peter look ridiculous must have been the intention of Reddit user Caboose7567, who shared a cinematic clip from midway through the game of Peter wearing one of his most unconventional Spider suits. To be more specific, it is not a suit at all, just a mask and spider-themed underwear. In the clip, Peter is forced to quickly ditch a dinner date at Mary Jane’s apartment to do Spider-Man things, and quickly changes into whatever suit the player has equipped. This scene is intended to illustrate how Peter’s double life strains his relationship with Mary Jane, but with the Undies suit equipped, the scene turns into a comedy.
What makes the clip so funny is how it seems to still make sense given the dialogue between Peter and Mary Jane. It also answers the question of what would happen if Peter needed to quickly disguise himself as Spider-Man, but did not have a proper suit or the desire to potentially ruin his casual clothes.
Players normally would not be able to equip the Undies suit for Peter to wear in the cutscene, or at least not on their initial play through. The Undies suit is the most difficult costume for players to attain, as it requires them to complete 100% of the entire game. Caboose7567 was able to equip the suit for the scene because he was playing in the New Game Plus mode, which allows players to start over with all of the equipment that they unlocked in a previous play through.
Spider-Man is available on PS4 and PS5.
