When it comes to Spider-Man embracing a darker color scheme, no suit of his is more famous than the symbiote suit. When that villainous alien from the planet Klyntar known as Venom bonded with Spider-Man, it created the most iconic black suit for Spider-Man, but it was far from the only black suit.
Over the many decades of comics, Spider-Man has worn many black costumes that deserve as much attention as the famous symbiote suit. Though most of these outfits are not 100% black, they feature a prominently black color scheme, usually mixed with one or two more colors.
Spider-Armor MK III
Mixing red and black, the Spider-Armor MK III, which debuted in Amazing Spider-Man #682 in 1999, is designed from head to toe to take on powerful members of the Sinister Six. Most fans have pointed out the similarities between the suit and Jason Todd's famous Red Hood design in the DC Universe.
This comparison is warranted, but it's also a compliment: it looks like Peter Parker is ready to go to war, and if anybody in the DC universe is war-ready, it is Red Hood.
Electro-Proof
As the name suggests, this suit's main function is to help Peter Parker fight his longtime rival Electro without getting his innards fried by Electro's attacks. Spider-Man developed it while fighting alongside the X-Men in 1997, with its debut being Amazing Spider-Man #425.
Mostly black with rubberized armor pieces, this Spider-Man uniform features a sleek design with an hourglass spider symbol on the chest. Despite being essential in defeating Electro, Spider-Man never brought the Electro-Proof suit back, and its biggest resurgence was as one of many unlockable skins in the game Marvel's Spider-Man.
Negative Zone Spider-Man
In Spider-Man #90 in 1998, Spider-Man had to go to the alternate dimension known as the Negative Zone. So, of course, as Spidey needs to have a new suit for every possible situation (and probably to sell some toys), Spider-Man's suit became black and white.
A similar costume would appear later on when Spider-Man received a Future Foundation upgrade as a replacement of the Human Torch, allowing the suit to repair itself.
Scarlet Spider II
Ben Reilly is the most famous attempt to clone Peter Parker, but the first was actually a man named Kaine Parker. Due to a flaw in the cloning process, Kaine Parker degenerated, leading to a deformed appearance and an unstable mind. Later on, in Scarlet Spider #1 in 2012, he would become the second Scarlet Spider.
Kaine wears a red suit with a black cowl, black symbol, and black gloves that contrast with the red eye-lenses. Though it is not technically a Spider-Man suit, Peter Parker has worn the suit in other media including video games.
Spider-Noir
On an alternate Earth, Peter Parker is an inner monologue-spewing private investigator in the 1940s, created as a tribute to the old-school film noirs of the past. He wears a more rugged uniform made from different pieces of clothing, aviator goggles, a trenchcoat, and sometimes a fedora.
Given the classic style of the Noir universe, everything is in black and white, including Spider-Noir's suit which is pretty much all black except for his glowing white goggles. This Spider-Man has made many appearances in games, but he got his cinematic debut in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.
Spider-Armor MK II
In a drastic change in color, the Spider-Armor MK II features a mainly black design with a thin yellow symbol that connects to the front and back. This slim design was introduced in 1999 with Amazing Spider-Man #656, and it was bulletproof and gave Peter Parker his spider-sense during a period when it was lost.
Most Spider-Man suit variants tend to follow similar styles of the classic design. With the Spider-Armor MK II, Spider-Man is almost completely different, but in a refreshing way. There is just enough of the Spider-Man format to make it fit Peter's style while providing something new for readers.
Dark Spider-Man
In Spider-Man/Deadpool #8 of 2016, Spider-Man was brought back to life by his buddy Deadpool. However, the result left Peter Parker with a serious case of rage issues and Mephisto haunting him, so Spider-Man developed an all-black suit with red eyes and a symbol.
The new design fits Spider-Man's darker personality, giving him a more intimidating presence. Even Deadpool himself was a little off-put by the new Spider-Man but remained the same lovable goofball he always is.
Superior Spider-Man
Despite the controversy of having Otto Octavius take over Peter Parker's body, the Superior Spider-Man story still left an impact on the history of Marvel comics. At first, the suit Otto creates is not that different from a basic Spider-Man suit, but the devil is in the details.
Superior Spider-Man features large sharp-clawed fingers, all blue is swapped for black, the eyes are sometimes black, and it features a large black symbol that connects to the black portions of the suit. Combined with mechanical legs similar to the Iron Spider, it's a distinct costume for Otto that retains a classic Spidey design.
Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales)
Simple changes are all that are needed to make a suit stand out. When Miles Morales became Spider-Man, his suit was all black but with red webbing and lenses that helps the suit pop. It gives Miles enough individuality to avoid being called a second-rate Spider-Man while also keeping what many love about Spider-Man.
Some might even argue that Miles' suit, which debuted in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #5 in 2012, is a superior design to Peter Parker's classic design. It even influenced the films, as Tom Holland's Spider-Man wears a similar design in both his red and blue design and the upgraded red and black.
Big Time Spider-Man
Sometimes known as the Stealth Suit or unofficially dubbed by fans as the "Tron Spider-Man", Big Time Spider-Man debuted in none other than the Big Time arc with Amazing Spider-Man #650 in 1999. It would seem the late 90s was the year for new suits.
This suit bends light, allowing Spider-Man to turn invisible. It was also able to fend off powerful sonic attacks such as the assaults from Hobgoblin. Though it is most famous for the eyes, symbol, and accents glowing green, they can change to red and blue as well.
