As a professional gamer and Marvel enthusiast, I‘ve analyzed all of the superhero costumes in Midnight Suns to provide the most complete guide possible. With decades of comic history to draw from, the developers packed in an unbelievable array of iconic outfits, deep cuts, and original creations for players to collect. I‘ll showcase the very best while breaking down customization, variants, and how to unlock them all.
An Abundance of Super Suits
Out of the box, Midnight Suns comes loaded with 167 base costumes across the starting roster, with each hero averaging over 10 options. Expand that across color variants and the Abbey vs Combat outfit distinction, and the total number of unlockable costumes balloons to 489! They really delivered on the promise of an extensive wardrobe.
To put that massive quantity in perspective, it‘s over double the 208 total skins in Marvel‘s Avengers and close to the 639 seen in the LEGO Marvel collection. And of course with post-launch DLC inevitable down the line, don‘t be surprised if the closet expands even further!
In-Depth Customization Systems
On top of the sheer volume of costumes, Midnight Suns adds depth through its customization system. Every suit has 4 color swap options by spending Fragments earned in combat. Tweaking even subtle elements like gloves, boots, armor accents, or energy blasts helps them feel distinct.
Additional flair and materials get bolted on as upgrades. For example, Tony Stark can toggle the neon piping across his Bleeding Edge armor or add chromed finishings. It keeps outfits fresh as you progress.
Two Wardrobes For Every Occasion
One of Midnight Sun‘s smartest choices was separating character costumes between their leisure Abbey style versus menacing combat-ready monster hunting attire.
Heroes now have distinct looks for chilling out over chess versus prepping to raid Lilith‘s forces. Let‘s compare some of the best relaxed everyday hangout clothes with their souped up fight variations:
Iron Man
Abbey: Black Sabbath World Tour ‘86 shirt with slick sunglasses
Combat: Bleeding Edge Armor Mk. 37
Doctor Strange
Abbey: Simple blue tunic with the Eye of Agamotto
Combat: Interdimensional cloak and the Axe of Angarruumus
Captain Marvel
Abbey: Air Force jacket with sash accent
Combat: Warbird uniform cracking with photonic energy
Wolverine
Abbey: Faded yellow tank top exposing fierce adamantium claws
Combat: Brown and tan X-Force stealth uniform
This duality injects variety while allowing players to better connect with heroes during down time before suiting up for critical demon hunting missions.
Where To Find Suits: Locations and Recommendations
While the Abbey and Combat distinction adds flavor, you‘re undoubtedly wondering – how do I actually get all these great costumes?!
Midnight Suns provides alternative looks through:
Purchasing in the in-game Marketplace using two currencies:
-
Gloss – Earned by playing any mode. I recommend spending this more freely on basic costumes in the 500-2000 range.
-
Eclipse Credits – Premium currency that must be bought with real money. As difficult it may be, reserve these for absolute favorite premium costumes priced at 5000 credits. This is the only way to get exclusive outfits like Spider-Man‘s Symbiote Suit or Captain America‘s U.S. Agent uniform.
Opening Arcane Chests scattered around the Abbey using Arcane Keys as rewards for Main Ops and Side Ops:
- I‘ve found player locations extremely useful for hunting down every last arcane chest. Replaying The Chthonic Codex operation nets a minimum of 5 keys to fuel your costume fortune hunting!
Completing Hangout Friendship Activities:
- Don‘t ignore Heroes for Hire tasks on the Friendship activities board! By reaching level 3 or 5 brackets with heroes, you can organically unlock outfits like Scarlet Witch‘s Gypsy Fortune Teller uniform or Blade‘s iconic leather longcoat.
Spec Opsrewards:
- Special Operations skins may need to be directly purchased but put in the work grinding through demonstrative, saboteur, and assassin missions to eventually earn skins like Captain Marvel‘s mohawk hairdo.
Showcasing Standout Suits for Each Hero
At last, let‘s salute some personal standout costume recommendations among Midnight Suns‘ very best to pursue for each legendary hero:
Iron Man: Bleeding Edge Armor
A cutting edge nano-tech augmented suit combining gold and crimson gloves and boots with silver cybernetic lines wrapping Tony‘s arms and torso. Pulsing with neon teal interior glows against the matte exterior, it‘s small stylish touches like this that make the Bleeding Edge armor Iron Man‘s very best.
Captain America: U.S. Agent Stealth Suit
There‘s no iconic hero that embodies the Stars and Stripes like Captain America. But for a tactical espionage edge, the U.S. Agent uniform bridges his history into black ops territory with a sleek carbon fiber texture. The abstract silver white star pops from the midnight palette in a suit ready for stealth.
Spider-Man: Symbiote Suit
Typically more associated with Venom, the Symbiote suit shifts Spider-Man into an aggressive black ops uniform accented by pulsating white spider logos and eyes. Combined with the white spider emblem cascading across the entire backside, this is one demonic looking Spidey ready to unleash chaos!
Wolverine: X-Force Uniform
While Wolverine‘s classic tiger stripe brown and yellow outfit deserves applause, the stealth black X-Force uniform feels purpose built for covert midnight ops. Paired with a darkened brown jacket sporting fluffy collar, it resembles adorable wolverine animal iconography while unleashing Weapon X.
The Future: Upcoming Hero Costume Speculation
Midnight Suns‘ foundation has been built on deep customization systems, rewards for progression, and continually expanding content drops. As one of the most passionate professional gamers and Marvel fans eagerly supporting this universe, what does the future costume roadmap potentially hold?
Here are my early predictions for high priority candidates:
Deadpool – No stranger to outrageous outfits, I expect Deadpool‘s inevitable inclusion to bring 10 parody pop culture suits. Think Khakis & Polo Wade Wilson directly lampooning preppy NFT bros as one strong example.
Venom – WhileVenom first needs to be incorporated as a hero, a Symbiote crossover event would seamlessly introduce hybrid Venomized costumes. Imagining Captain Marvel or Hulk fused with the vicious alien biomass already sends chills!
What other heroes and costumes prove most intriguing for you? As always, I look forward to continuing the conversation with fellow fans on what‘s next for Midnight Suns!
