History When Otto Octavius took over Peter Parker 's body, he decided to take over Peter's role as a superhero. As such, he redesigned the original Spider-Man costume, switching the blue to black and altering the design of the back spider logo, belt, gloves, boots and mask, and a more goggle.

Now if the suit was blue then all you would see is the out line of a blue spider on the exact same color. It just wouldn't make sense. It has to be, plus the back spider through this issue is a light blue which wouldn't look right on a red and blue suit.
I still don't know why people think the black is shading, that's like saying the black suit is blue because of the shading. Even though Spider-Man eventually returned to his classic costume colors, he has occasionally suited up in his black costume when in need of a sleeker look-or during a particularly dark era in his life. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the black suit's debut, let's look back at Spider-Man's time in this costume.

In an intriguing twist for fans, the design of Spider-Man's back emblem has become the topic of heated discussion. Commentators are diving into the symbolism behind the design, leading to mixed sentiments and fresh theories about the iconic character's costume. The Round Spider is an Actual Tick on Spider-Man's back, feeding off of his blood and making him allergic to Meat.
That's why it's completely Red, it's filled with Spider-Man's blood. Writing for the Spider-Man Crawlspace, Thomas Mets considers whether the costume was meant to be red and blue or red and black, linking an argument of John Byrne's, and comparing the character to the Grey Hulk.
