     Spider-man has had more than his share of really cool costumes, and just about the time you get used to his newest, coolest one he reverts back to the good old blue and red.  Now that he is joining the "Future Foundation" (the renamed Fantastic Four), he gets a new look - no doubt made of unstable molecules. I have to say it is a pretty nice look, even if it is not very practical for slinking around at night fighting crime.

    But that is fine.  As a member of the Future Foundation he won't be slinking around. The FF has always been an in your face kinda fighting force.  The new FF is working toward a brighter future, so the white suit metaphor works.  Spidey has already had his share of time wearing black. 
    The issue is it looks a lot like Fantomex's X-Force costume (which is also not very practical for sneaking around killing people). 
     Fantomex almost sounds like Spidey here.

    Hopefully the two never have to fight each other, as we may never know who won....

    And X-Factor better not cross the path of the Future Foundation or Marvel™ will have to release the issue in Black and White.

      Sure, we all know the least expensive printing inks are black and white, but has Marvel gone to far with the black and white.  Is it overdone, or still chic cool?

    Ha! For once Spider-man copies Deadpool. Usually it is the other way around.

    Deadpool and Fantomex's costumes are more grey or greyish blue...not white.  So no, I don't think Marvel has gone to far with the black and white costumes.
