* The question of, "who makes every character's costume" was answered in ''Amazing Spider-Man #502'', which introduced Leo Zelinsky. A tailor from Brooklyn, he doesn't do much to ''keep'' his business secret except what small business owners like himself always rely on - using only word of mouth to advertise - but he caters to just about every super-human in the Marvel Universe, heroes and villains alike. (Why does he see nothing wrong with this? As he explains, "If Doctor Octopus goes into a deli and orders a cheese sandwich and the clerk gives it to him, does that make the clerk a bad man? Everyone has to eat, everyone needs clothes.") To avoid conflicts between the heroes and villains, his shop is open for the first group on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, the second on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. He also maintains a strict confidentiality policy for all of his clients, only breaking it once in order to prevent a murder. Otherwise, his clients have included such big names as [[The Avengers]], [[X-Men]], and [[Doctor Doom]].

* The [[DC]] universe has Paul Gambi, who's shop is similar to Leo's but not seen as often, mostly in [[The Flash]]'s comic. Clearly he is a [[Shout-Out]] to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gambaccini Paul Gambaccini] .
