In the past, Marvel and DC Comics have brought their most iconic characters across company lines for appropriately epic battles complete with universe-ending stakes, but when it comes to Spider-Man
And Red Hood
A proper introduction between the two has yet to happen. Allow the cosplay community to provide this unprecedented encounter because in a new collaboration, Spider-Man and Red Hood come into conflict, setting the stage for a live-action battle for the ages.
Expertly bringing Spider-Man and Red Hood into the real world, Kapture Realm (@kapture_realm) and @dumb_donut1respectively, are joined by the talented eye of cosplay photographer and editor Mark (@nycosplayer) and produced live-action figures worthy of the characters on which they were based. Previously dressed as a zombified Red Hood, a Batman: Arkham Knight-inspired version of the character, and more, Kapture Realm excels at making comic-accurate designs work in real life, with @dumb_donut1 finding similar success wearing different variations of Spider-Man’s iconic costume, like a Spider-Man: Homecoming Look and outfit sporting overly large white bug eyes.

Crossing over into the DC Universe in the 1996s DC vs. Marvel event, Spider-Man brushed shoulders with the likes of the Joker, fought Superboy, and later, fused with him To become the leather jacket-wearing hybrid hero known as Spider-Boy – not to be confused with the completely different Spider-Boy now running around comics. Unfortunately for DC’s resurrected bad boy of the Bat-family, Red Hood has yet to make his presence felt after his Death in the family murder, resulting in Jason missing out on a wild crossover that has yet to get a proper follow-up almost 30 years later.
Wearing a traditional but vibrantly detailed Spider-Man outfit, @dumb_donut1 aims a fist at Red Hood’s shiny head, with Mark choosing to set the fight against the backdrop of a tornchal downpour only adding to the epic nature of the shot. Not to be outdone by a nerd in red and blue pajamas, Kapture Realm’s Read Hood counters @dumb_donut1 with a pistol to his face, with the Next few photos show Spider-Man’s incredible speed as he disarms the Red HoodPrepares a follow-up “Tweep” attack, then grabs Jason by the throat in a display of honed superhero prowess.
Who would win in a fight between Marvel’s Spider-Man and DC Comics’ Red Cap?
Marvel and DC have worked together on more than one occasion to get their characters to occupy the same space, but outside of the usual inter-property crossovers, like the last one. Aliens vs Avengers And Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong mini series, No news was given about a direct sequel to DC vs. MarvelWith 2003s JLA / Avengers Comic is the last time the heroes and villains interacted.
While Spider-Man and Batman crossed paths twice in one-shot comics, Red Hood Has yet to be shot in ol’ web-head, making this cosplay image wishful thinking come true.
