Will Spidey change his costume everywhere?  It's more likely that the
all-black costume will be relegated to the closet.  I don't really think
Marvel will give up one of its most recognizable symbols for long.  When
I first saw a story in the fan press about the costume, someone at
Marvel (Shooter?) was evasive about whether the costume would stay
around forever.  I give it no more than six months after the Secret Wars
series is concluded.  (Maybe the magic costume can change its colors. 
It seems to do everything else.)

This is like DC giving up the Robin costume.  They couldn't take Dick
Grayson out of the short pants, the licensing is to great an incentive
to leave him as was. Finally, someone came up with the idea of giving
Batman a new partner to wear the costume.

The more things change ...
