* Seems to happen with [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]] quite frequently. Makes sense, considering he is often [[The Woobie]], [[The Chew Toy]] or both.
** In the comics, Spider-Man once had to get rid of his entire costume (it was the symbiote at the time). He had to borrow a [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]] costume, but because it didn't have a mask, he had to wear a paper bag over his head (and a [["Kick Me" Prank|kick-me sign on his back]], courtesy of Johnny Storm). No, seriously. He was called [https://web.archive.org/web/20130605103949/http://www.spiderfan.org/characters/himself/costume/not_really/index.html "The Amazing Bag-Man" and "The Bombastic Bag-Man"].
** In an early story arc, Spidey's costume gets trashed (again), but he doesn't have a spare and is forced to buy a Spider-man costume from a costume shop. A dunk in the river causes the cheap costume to shrink, forcing him to web it in place, which leads to further problems...
** During a Team-Up with Wolverine Spidey once found himself abroad and in need of a costume. Luckly for him he was able to purchase a reasonable imitation of a Spiderman costume in a costumeshop in Berlin. Unfortunately it had "Die Spinne" written on the back, the name that the character was known by and that Spiderman comics were sold under in Germany back then.
Line 36:
** The newspaper ''Amazing Spider-Man'' had a storyline where someone stole Spidey's costume and Peter himself fought crime in a Western mashup costume under the name of "Justice Guy".
** At one point at least, Spidey bought a Halloween costume from a store and found it was better than his current costume.
** During one part of the "Clone Saga," Peter once again found himself without a costume. He improvised with the tank-top and pants he'd been wearing in prison, a leather jacket, and the black mask, boots, and gloves left over from his cloth version of the symbiote costume (wearing his webshooters on the outside for some reason). Can be seen at the bottom of the page [
* In the ''[[Daredevil]]'' comics, Gladiator used to be the owner of a costume shop that specialized in superhero and supervillain costumes (the place looked kinda like a Wax Museum Morgue). He alters a DD costume for Foggy Nelson that looks pretty darn good for a knockoff. Except for the plastic prop billyclub, of course...
** In the "Born Again" arc, the Daredevil impostor hired by the Kingpin had such a convincing costume (also made by the Gladiator), the real Daredevil actually stole it from him and put it on himself. Of course he had no choice as all of his other costumes had been destroyed.

* In ''[[Tales of the Starbuck Avenger!!!]],'' the titular heroine's costume consists of a cheap tiara, a javelin, and a Starbucks apron worn backwards as a cape.
