The Spare Fantastic Four Costume also known as and dubbed "The Bombastic Bagman" or "The Amazing Bag-Man" is a costume Peter Parker (Spider-Man) had to don as a result of being separated from the alien symbiote in the Baxter Building.
History
Edit
When Reed Richards first examined the alien symbiote and separated it from Peter, he was left without a costume and could not simply go web-slinging undisguised as it could reveal his true identity.
At the mercy of the Human Torch, he was given a spare, older version of a Fantastic Four costume with no footwear, a loose brown paper bag as a mask, and a "Kick Me" sign on his back, placed by Johnny.
On his way home from the Fantastic Four's headquarters, Spider-man's spider-sense buzzed, and he took a detour to help the police with a foiled liquor store robbery. Attacking the criminals, he cracked the joke, "I'm just your friendly neighborhood travel agent! And I'm here to present you with a free ticket to loose tooth city!" Then, a passel of reporters arrived on the scene, asking if he wore the old Fantastic Four costume because he was a new member, if he planned to apply for membership, or if it was a super hero initiation prank. Later on TV, they referred to him as "the unknown super hero".
During Spider-man's Identity Crisis story arc, Peter is out of reach of his costume and is forced to fight crime wearing a paper bag on his head, again referring to himself as ' The Bombastic Bag-man '.
FeaturesEdit
The bag man is born!
The second incarnation of the Bag-Man, worn briefly during the Identity Crisis story arc, is limited to a pair of red pants, black knee high boots, no shirt and a paper bag worn overhead.[1]
