How to Make the BEST Spider Man Cosplays! 

Hey Guys! I am a 57 yr old man that still does costuming. It wan't called Cosplay way back then. I made my 1st Spiderman suit back in 1977 after seeing the Nicholas Hammond's Spiderman pilot that CBS had on. Back then I was 15 and got my tights and leotards from a Salvation Army thrift store. I traced out the webbing with a fine line black permanent laundry marker. And for the eyes I doubled some fiberglass window screen and spray painted it white. I wish that I still had some photos of the 2 suits that I made but they were the Polaroid instant photos which were lost over the years of moving,divorce and other bullshit that interfered with the important job of costuming. Keep going with your costumes. You have so many more resources that I did back then. Do your best like I see you can. and make us "Old timers proud!"

Can we just just appreciate how much weight mendoza lost and got into shape as dedication to the cosplay

I wish Spider-Man far from home was just a 2 hour and 15 minute cosplay tutorial from Godzillamendoza with an end credits scene about the evil Xavier clone that replaced Xavier in the Spider man Ps4 review

GodzillaMendoza in a nutshell when he sees a really good SpiderMan mask: “loud snorting noises” Check your paypal

Just wondering... where's my moon knight cosplay?

13:50 is that Chameleon's origin story?

Can you make a “bombastic bag man” Spider-Man suit I think it would be really funny XD

Thanks for the shout out Xavier! You've almost convinced me to make a Spider-Man cosplay... but I feel like it'd have to be Peter B Parker considering my developing fat tire...

I IS IN THE VIDEO! LOOK MA I MADE IT! Haha, amazing showcase of your many classic suits Xavier. You keep on improving and you’ll only go higher from there. Keep at it my dude!

"YOU KNOW WHY STAR-LORDS A HERO BECAUSE HE BOUGHT US ANOTHER AVENGERS MOVIE!" -GodzillaMendoza 2019

I feel like Xavier really wants a mannequin

Finally man, any content from you is good content.

To think your first video about making a Spider-Man costume came out nearly three years ago and now you’ve been making costumes like crazy, learning new techniques and have even taught me new ways I could improve in making these costumes, and I just want to thank you for everything you’ve brought to people who have always wanted to do this and become the webhead. You’re a true legend and this community can’t tell you how much we appreciate your content, nuff said!

Still "not a Spider-Man channel" Xavier?

Not a Spider-Man channel I had to do it

13:03 that sounds like he had experience doing something like that😳

I know it's just the limitations of the crafting materials, but I like that the suits have the handmade-quality that I would imagine a real Spider Man would wear, considering he makes all of his own stuff from home

Just wanted to say I genuinely get excited when there’s a notification from this channel. Just constantly great content and also love how tight knit this community is

I just love videos like this, passionate fans that are doing there damnedest to make stuff from their favorite comic/movie/game/etc. It's definitely cool to see the behind the scenes stuff about the costumes from the movies, but these are suits made on very tight budgets, and its neat to see the creative ways people work around the problems tasks like these present.

You've been hitting the gym to beat up slotto octavious Xavier?

11:58 Me: yeah, i guess that makes sense Nerdy me (internally): Well, actually, the way that Spider-Man sticks to surfaces in the comics is a lot different than what the Raimi movies make you think. His stick-em powers don’t come from him growing really tiny hairs or anything like that which then cling to almost any surface, though it would make more sense for him to have gained his sticky abilities that way (you know; cause spider bite). For some reason, when he was bitten by the radioactive spider, he gained some kind of subconscious ability to alter his body’s electron attractiveness, meaning he can make any part of his body sticky based on just mental power alone, like when he made his face sticky so that some villain couldn’t take his mask off or something I think. I don’t get it, but it’s a comic book. Nothing ever makes sense in comic books. God, I’m a nerd. I need to get a life. To quote a spectacularly bombastic RU-vidr: “Virginity Secured.”

Seeing all these heartfelt shoutouts in a GM video after being a fan of most of these people through social media stuff makes me more emotional then it should.

A new Godzillamendoza spidey cosplay video: is amazing Has a dogfacedog cameo: even more amazing

That mannequin story is fire

Thank you Xavier for inspiring me to create my own spidey costumes, as well as teaching me some great techniques to use for making them

Great video and thanks for the shout-out, my dude! Looking forward to Autosaving The Day with you guys again soon!

Man, the progress you're making not only with your cosplays, but even with your physique is insane. Great job Xavier!

I've puffy painted many suits in the past but those were just some china suits I bought and traced over with tulip paints. Can we appreciate what a sheer badass Xavier is for being able to just pluck from any art style he wants and turn it into reality? I need to try and take this approach on my next suit 🔥

This is the cutest video ever. I love watching people's cos-process!!!

Finally Godzilla! Any content from you is SO entertaininga and satisfying.

JR.Jr is like one of my favorite Spider-man artists and im glad that you picked the 2000' style 'cause tbh when he started in Amazing SM in 1989 his style was so much alike his father and the change of his style was the best he could make. props to you and the awesome people that helped you , the suit looks dope and you do know how to wear it mah man

WHERE’S THE SPONGE BOB SUIT TUTORIAL?!

Hey Xavier love your videos (Not just the spiderman ones) and I cant wait to watch ur new uploads as soon as I see them in my inbox keep up the good work man!

I tried to make a spider-man costume two years ago for Halloween. It didn't go so well, I tried to buy to spandex suits at first and make my own suit, but then I thought that just using old clothes would be a lot easier. Then I went through dozens of old shirts with some of them actually going pretty well until I messed them up again. I tried to make my own Dead Space costume as well but that didn't work out either. Long story short: I used over half a million old shirts, ruined them all and got my entire family to hate me for wasting their precious time and money.

Hell yeah, F13 and HP marathons! Looks great, man! Plus your taste in Spidey artists is superb! Exclamation marks!

Awesome vid bud and im sorry again for your loss. We're all here for you man

Xavier : makes a spiderman costume tutorial series. Also xavier: makes fast food rant video. Combined: im gonna tell ya whats shit about chuck e cheese as i make a spider man suit. Btw great video series i love your channel keep up the good work

You assume I can sew, when in reality I can inflict self harm with a needle

I dunno why but sometimes I just watch those tutorials over and over again, there is something relaxing about those.

Can we just take the time to appreciate the background music picks for his videos? His taste is amazing!

Hey! I’ll have you know I’ve read every issue of Unstoppable Spider-Man, and I’ve been very sure to tell Brandon that it’s fucking fantastic! Seriously though more people should read that it’s really good.

Not sure if you'll see this Xavier, but i just wanna say thanks for inspiring me to start doing some more cosplay stuff. I made a Human Spider cosplay that turned out pretty well (after the 2nd try..) to wear to some movie premiers and everyone loved it. Thanks for all the great content you put out that isn't just spidey stuff.

This video helps me A LOT, honestly i was trying to do the steps in your past how to make spidey suit (the classic one, symbiote, scarlet spider and miles) and at least make my venom cosplay and now with this video i wanna do another suit or make a better suit and helps me so much, now im taking keys of you, hexenbex and jacob cuz man you 3 are my inspiration to be a cosplayer and be like spider-man Good video xavier you kill it 🙏

I build custom cosplays and parts almost always from EVA, sometimes I have a costume that looks okay but can be modded to amplify the look to a whole new level, like the DP suit I recently made.

Just ask Tony Stark- I mean Elon Musk to make you a suit, Spider-Boy.

Your instagram posts were hyping me up for this vid

I really enjoyed seeing the process of making this suit. (Btw, a suggestion I have for any future projects, if you get around to making more suits, is the Big Time suit.)

honestly i love watching you spider-man videos. there super funny and entertaining

Can you please make a moon knight cosplay

Hey Xavier! I’m not that knowledgeable about fabric painting but in my experience, if you’re painting on a dark colour like blue, it’s best to do a couple layers of white, then add the red so it’s a brighter red that’ll match the costume better. Idk, I don’t have the time, money, or effort to try it on spandex but no harm in trying on your next cosplay

👀Yes❗️, I’ve been waiting for this vid, keep up posting more vids on this specific topic👏🏼

I honestly wish the Spider-Man movies used costumes like this to make it more believable that Peter made the suit

Dang Xavier almost 100k gongrats subbed since the ultimate spider-man letsplay

Finally finished my suit, I'm fine with the messy aesthetic, but have a lot to improve. Now I have to lose weight. The hardest part of cosplaying.

One of my favorite youtubers been watching u for a year and and half

Ahaha this is the sixth spider suit, now Xavier has to do a Moon Knight

Hi, Just dropping by to see what was new here. I don't remember if I told you guys about our Halloween outing in 1978. I was in my Spidey suit and my best friend Chris had made a "cardboard" Iron Man suit. We were walking down a dark country heading back to his house when a pickup truck went flying by us throwing eggs. I jumped behind my friend and let his armor take the brunt of the egging as Iron Man should. And in no friggin way did I ever address him as Mr Stark in an ass kissy tone of voice. It was more like "Hey Chris! You and your armored ass take the fucking point!". Thumbs up all around to you guys and your cool costuming!

Mendoza is what i call an Irish coffee ( you get it because Irish and black )

damn dude! you've started to get the build for spidey down pat, good for you, love ya humour and those costumes are fucking awesome!

I think this video taught all of us a lot. The most important thing to take away from this isn't just the cosplay. But, that Xavier has some Amazing Friends.

Make the Ben Reilly Sensational suit. Please?

*Is that Gorillaz I hear in the background?* I see your a man of culture

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS

That is just awesome!

17:01 hey man... where did you get that Black Cat poster from??

2:46 “The only major dIfFerence...”

This and the first one rebuilt my faith in myself to make a DIY Spider-Man suit. I’ve been struggling with it, especially since I’m very self conscious about, like EVERYTHING I do, but these made me think that maybe I can make a decent Spider-Suit without buying it online

Now I can finally truly FEEL like spiderman

14:02 that poster in the background I have it

If you don't make a dragonfly cosplay, I'm gonna riot😑

Thank you for Jacob's name...I'm going to be commissioning him REAL soon That JR Sr. mask looks delicious.

Props to you for working out to fill the suit better good o you bro. I’m trying to do the same before New York comic con

7:58 I have multiple

I was on discord waiting for this day..

Adding the soles was a fantastic idea i was thinking water shoes would work great for that and i see you had the same idea but i didn't think of adding the inserts especially for arch support. Nice touch

My man's really got into shape for a Spider-Man cosplay. If that's not dedication then I don't know what is.

Yo holy shit you’re pretty built now

"This isn't a spiderman channel " Me : "Okay I believe you "

that first suit was really good!

Dude I love your channel don’t let anybody tell you any different

Are you planning on doing any of the movie suits? Like, the supposedly homemade Rami suit or the Amazing Spider-Man 1 suit, and are relatively different from the regular suits from the comics and would be interesting to see if they can actually be made by someone other than a million dollar corporation

It took you 2,292 minutes or 38 hours to do the webs, plus about 3-4 hours.

My gosh these look amazing

Thank you for the background music.

Where is your trap cosplay tutorial

I got a tone of stuff to make a suit, but then my dad got me a professionally made Spider-Man 2002 suit so I have a tone of spandex laying around.

Amazing video! The suit is amazing, but you should try to make a pattern, it’s really easy and it helps a lot the webs to look much better

By the way love the suit you're awesome and helpful as always

Next time buy a brand called I’m invisible by forum novelties cause the mask comes detached and they are a lot easier to work with

I'm kinda sad that the terrible 3D Batman art I send you on Twitter like 2 years ago will never be featured because Bad Comic Art is cancelled

Yes, I finally know how to make a Bomb Squad costume. Could Gamma Tsunami and Memepool be next. I would love to see that

Hey Xavier, where did you find the image for that Mark Bagley Amazing Spidey? I've been looking for it ever since I saw it on this video.

Godzilla Menfuckingdoza What's up bro? What's tha happs on the crapps??

Ayo notification squad where you at?

I'm definitely crediting you when I make my spidey costume and make a video on it

Except for the Maguire attire I always make my webs with sharpie but for the Maguire attire I used silver puffy paint and for anad I used a crap ton of vinyl as the red part to make it look plated

That's cool and all, but where's the MJ cosplay?

love this video

This is where I'm going when I become a superhero

Love the Kick-Ass soundtrack song by the Prodigy, I was like "wait....yoOOOOO?"
