Black Suit/Venom Symbiote: Once you complete the main campaign, you'll be able to reequip the cosmetic aspect of both the Black Suit, and the more monstrous-looking Symbiote Suit, at any point, now simply part of the path to collecting all Spider-Man 2 suits. These aren't tied to any abilities at this point, so feel free to equip or de-equip them whenever you want.
