[Hedji]

Truly terrifying!

An influence… or coincidence? The spider insignia and sleeve design… I wonder… was it red?

Very cool never saw that before, I have always wanted to start a Ben copper collection, but I try and limit myself to one at a time.

[LadyZod]

I look at that...

I think this:

[jwyblejr]

Maybe Stan Lee use to wear the costume.

[Mego Superboy Prime]

Or maybe Steve Ditko.

Remember, Steve is on record for saying he designed the costume.

And the Ben Cooper plant was only 10 miles away from the Marvel offices at the time....DO'HHHHHH!!!

That is pretty wild!

Though, as Mego Superboy Prime suggests, there may be a very good explanation for this.

Here's a great video on this discovery and a 1958 pic of a kid wearing it. Compare the two and be amazed at the similarity.
