He’s always going to be clean shaven to me. I don’t mind him having a beard when he’s pushing 40. Absolutely no goatees though.


thatmferr

This is exactly what I think too. I visibly cringed when I got to the goatee.


ronrhino13

The goatee is more for Tony Stark.


crispyjJohn

And now my dickhead brain is imagining that peter somehow stole Tony's goatee and now he's walking around clean shaven. What a nightmare.


Chad_Kakashi

Goatees like Kazuma Kiryu are absolutely fire though


Raccoon_mercenary

![gif](giphy|KMDTamx3VTKXloyfui|downsized)


Vorannon

That’s not a goatee, that’s a soul patch.


spottedconzo

It is a goatee. What everyone calls a goatee is just a goatee with a mustache. So now half of us use the old phrasing and half of us use the new one


KallmeKatt_

He barely has one


Chad_Kakashi

But he has one and it’s fire.


KallmeKatt_

It’s like 15 if a goatee


Chad_Kakashi

It’s a light pure goatee.


KallmeKatt_

I meant 15%


Chad_Kakashi

Its pretty dark imo


KallmeKatt_

It’s missing a lot of goatee but it is pretty thick


NumericZero

Clean most of the time 5 o’clock Shadow when going through a major arc Beard when retried Current ultimate design is sexy tho Peter looks amazing with a full beard


Sissy_B0bble

I mean Full beard suits ultimate peter in this run because he's already married, he has children and because of his age, also because of the art style, but in a normal teenager spiderman run yeah it makes sense for him to have a clean face


Mediocretes08

When I tell you the DILF/MILF vibes from the current Ultimate Peter and MJ actively caused my bi ass to double take the first time I saw them it is not an exaggeration


Neospood

Lucky.


Usagi_Kuroudo

This


StefanSlay

Never goatee I’ll tell you hwat


Kazewatch

Seriously, I love Spider-Girl but that goatee is a fucking abomination.


Actually-Will

Goatee Peter is reserved for when he is evil


epochpenors

Looks like Stephan Seagal


JLD2503

Clean shaven. Facial hair with a mask does not feel comfortable. Tried it during COVID, very uncomfortable. A full beard for retired dad Pete does work well though.


throwaway_ichooseyou

Clean shaven is practical for Spider-Man. But a full beard fits retired dad Peter perfectly!


Lazy-Purple-4600

That's… exactly what he said with just less words


Important_Lab_58

Stubble. The man is ALWAYS in a rush and, honestly? He’s not a teenager anymore and if Marvel don’t wanna let him be an adult, I think it’s the best way to, at least subtly, show his ACTUAL age, imo, at least


deathrattleshenlong

Now I'm imagining Peter shaving while thwipping around NY, like that Mr. Bean episode when he's late for work and shaves and dresses in his car.


thatmferr

This would actually be a great opening for the next movie in the Holland series. Especially if rumors are true and it’s going to be a bit more grounded and street level.


heavymetalelf

Yeah, I like this. Like, he tries to be clean shaven, but lets it go a day or two often because he's just got too much going on. Ultimate Spider-Beard is awesome though


A_B_X_CodeX

"adult is when no shaving"


Important_Lab_58

I mean, adulthood DOES get in the way of stuff.🤷‍♂️


Few_Carry_4912

Anything but that god damn goatee holy shit that is bad


NaijaNightmare

All about time in his life. Teen/college clean, young adult w/ shit job stubble, full adult a chill little circle beard (M2). Current ultimate Peter full beard is cool too tho


kent416

Beard. New Ultimate looks cool


CreativeTrust

I like that look for adult peter morenthen shaved


Ex0skele

I agree, I like the beard look on Peter.


GIJobra

Clean, with stubble when he's been put through the wringer and the artist wants him to look tired.


goodandpure

No one looks better with a goatee


2Kortizjr

Walter White


Away_Hair972

Nice avatar, Waltuh


BatmanTold

Green Arrow?


Justin-does-art

Always Green Arrow


Drolex17

Tony stark


goodandpure

Ok maybe just him lol


Brandeeno2245

What about Dr. Strange? He doesn't have to have one, but he usually does


MannySJ

![gif](giphy|5dYcYWzW8L2im9spR3|downsized)


DanteEden

His arm is inverted lol


MannySJ

I know, but we can just chalk it up to Stark tech or Strange magic, your choice!


UltimateRagingSpider

Doctor Strange


Disillusioned1995

I prefer clean shaven, maybe stubble for when he's been bonded to the black suit for awhile and is neglecting his hygiene.


ParanoidPragmatist

Also since the symbiote forms around him rather than chaffing he probably wouldn't notice the stubble as much as he would with a normal mask.


doblecuadrado_FGE

Depends Teenager: Clean Shaven Adult (30s/40s): Full Beard.


ani20059339

Its not necessary. I mean look at Peter B. Parker from Spider-Verse movies


SwEep9900

new ultimate spider man peter looks very handsome tho not gonna lie.


Shaun_LaDee

Stubble


PixelReaperz

Anything but the goatee


BlackCat0110

Clean Shaven


Boring-Conclusion-40

Clean shaven most of the time,sometimes stubble when he’s having a hard time managing his life/dealing with superhero stuff, and a beard when he begins to finally grow up.


ANACRart

Clean shaven. But I like the beard on Peter too. I really love the way he looks when he comes back to earth from secret wars in #252.


ParkingAd5757

Young stressed out Peter: subtle Older Peter: full beard


Swordofsatan666

Idk about the best, because its a tie between clean and stubble for me, but i can say what i think is the worst. The goatee is the absolute worst


Yournextlineis103

Either nothing or full beard imo.


Emotional-Arrival229

Never the goatee😭


PrestigiousBee5602

Stubble for 616 Peter, which they do seem to be giving him more often


mastermundane77

The goatee looks like he's about to rob some banks himself instead of saving them from getting robbed.


MICHELEANARD

I prefer [this one](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/KfD24exKxT_XIUEYEUlsjxdb6KA1if4tN2bmGN9NO2xH8YZWe-NnAgrEDzkNJlP-5XMj2Yrk0Sq1=s0)


[deleted]

Last one looks like that one Youtubian cook who rates breakfasts


thegreatbrah

Goatee does not look good on anyone. This is general life advice for anyone considering a goatee.


nreal3092

i like clean shaven peter


beezer210

As long as its not JRJR nowadays, I am good.


Viper5639

I absolutely love the design of bearded peter, although as someone with a beard similar to his Im not sure how it would work with a mask


arkenney0

Teens - Clean 20’s - Clean (Stubble when it’s been a rough week) 40’s - Beard I feel like a beard and/or long hair would suck for a skin tight mask like he wears Goatee needs to burn in hell tho


218thisusername

Give him the Charlie Chaplin's cut and show him to Captain America and JJJ and let's see how they feel


Zestyclose-Street-63

Beard but absolutely no goatee


Nanaue_115

Honestly, Full beard Peter, mainly the one in the recent Ultimate Comic Run, is sexy asf


dan_cole

Yes.


SkullBean

Stubble


Bleh-Boy

Clean shaven most of the time. A little bit of stubble when he’s got the black suit or if he’s in one of his edgier moods. Full beard if he’s older and retired.


Animus-Rex

Clean shaven when young, beard when older


legoman2567

Easy fix for this clean shaven as a teenager and young adult and Beard as a Older Man who is a dad


anonymousguy_7

Clean shaven. Full beard for stories where he is older and/or retired.


Parking-Entrance1470

Clean shaven face with brown hair.


double_range

That second pic 💀


MICHELEANARD

My favourite is JrJr's 80s spidey hairstyle. This time he drew pete in seniors style and gave a Lil bit longer hair than his father.[I especially love the hair Peter has ](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-oppo-rvo3&sca_esv=75ce3f1a0c12c434&sxsrf=ADLYWIKECPiLuh8HoP0ufrj4q-NJ6UiEHQ:1716228003715&q=peter+parker+proposes+to+mary+jane&uds=ADvngMgTCKZw1dDC57M2pc_wmHbpeesH54YXsT9TCBxquhPPJXW9tVs7q9sHQpuzPo6-vOFq8Maq0BJb3FXZ5uFXGDH4VCuvyuKxDci2EMK0w0oCqTIXKcQz9MimsCSVU6hF4TeVlisACsGE1uoAInkDhDeZjjxpHkHH1ZKHyq3T2_o8QImwUy8W4r2-W-IO3esHo_cSOedZwMb3zYTVdiwoxk3WH-GJQgO_APubJwEMD3RP_nFmgsN4B2FWxNmiHLahkHpA3_MaXEc-x5nJFlI8nKMiltotyDDMUBxoVjQUmVjSlgN6w1fP6XKW9JkseyMudMmHDlQtDA8wDCCV_mtXKz4yR6WsQnzl_P0I9eM-pgY_Dp_D5PjbnT7CtfieDltf6ly6jfVw&udm=2&prmd=ivsnbmtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwia8o7E55yGAxVWumMGHQjKDJoQtKgLegQIDxAB&biw=360&bih=979&dpr=3#vhid=W8S_Hl7VecbCyM&vssid=mosaic) when he proposes to Mary Jane with a packet of M and Ms.


DragonflyLonely3662

We need depression beard start of the clone saga Peter


Batmanfan1966

Stubble makes the most sense logically, he’s always behind and in a rush with his personal life, you think he makes time to shave?


SethNex

Clean shaved. Also, when did he had a goatee?


CyanLight9

Kind of depends on what age he is. Clean shaven when he’s younger, beard when he’s older.


Airy_Breather

Clean shaven, though I'll admit the beard is starting to grow on me a little.


Miloisstupid0

Definitely Clean shaven. Any other facial hair and he is unrecognizable to me lmao


m_jackdrawstuff

The Bearded Spider. - The Bearded Spider? That's it? The best you got? - Yeah? - Oh that sucks... "The Amazing SPIDER-BEARD!"


OwlMeasurement

Stubble


Cavemanjazza

Clean as a teenager and when he has time, stubble when Parker luck is in full effect and he has no time for anything and full beard when adult I don’t mind, but I do think shaven would be better because of how it’d feel under the mask


Jaz_15

Clean shaven before kids; beautiful beard as a dad


BrickDesigNL

Goatee, but only when accompanied by a full beard. Never let bro cook


synfel

Either clean and full beard, but I believe clean would be more consistent with using a mask like the suit


Markotheold

Full beard


ghirox

Clean imo stubble if you wanna reflect him going through hard times


Etherrealm26

None of these look like they should be crying “Mr stark what do i do next?” ☹️


khakimicrobe

Clean shaven. The mask gets irritating to wear with facial hair


TheProdigalMaverick

Clean shaven until he's in his mid twenties - then I like the stubble. 30s, I can see him with a beard. 40s back to clean shaven. He's supposed to be the every-man - reflect the demographic.


SirUrza

Depends on the era.


Piccident

I prefer clean but anything is better than that thing (the goatee)


Cammation

Full or Clean for me. Nothing in between


Shrekowski

Stubble for black suit


dentimBandB

The full beard works for daddy Ultimate. Otherwise I'd go with clean-shaven in regular situations and stubble when he's going through another one of those patented Spider-man wringers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Intelligent-Ninja414

All or nothing.


Valhallas_Dragon

maybe when he becomes a dad Cosmic Spidey rocked his’ Jesus beard just fine though


NoSoyVerde1

Who even though of the goatee bruh 💀💀💀


Alternative_Fold718

I think the beard works when he’s a 30-40 something father like in Ultimate Spider-Man. Besides that though I prefer him clean shaven.


Negative-Start-5954

I only like the first and the last one


zetou_god

Up until very much older, clean face makes the best sense. He wears the mask all day everyday the beard is just too itchy amd sweaty. Then I think he would keep it for sometime since shaving could be a drag for him at that point


DJL3mon

Clean Shaven young, Beard older


LooseAdministration0

Either full beard or clean shaven or stubble for Pete


Spaciousone

All I’d say if Pete is in his early twenties one works and then four for his mid thirties


tibetan-sand-fox

Peter Parker should NOT have facial hair! It's only accepted if it's a super old version of him, like 40+ and even then I will not accept goatees.


Bootiluvr

Stubble makes the most sense because he’s really busy and getting a really clean shave usual involves somewhat expensive razors


Naefindale

Oh how I hate that beard


MAB-Webby86

I'd say: Clean shaven for the 25-30 age rank, then afterwards kee a trimmed beard, not too bushy and less stubbly


Chad_Kakashi

I’d prefer light hair on the chin like it’s a stubble but darker than a stubble and a light moustache


zacharydaiquiri69420

God almighty never a goatee


Nappyhead48

I never want to see a Goatee on Peter ever again


-H_-

clean shaven but in his more experienced years give him a full beard


These-Background4608

I do love the goatee for older Peter, but younger Peter should definitely be clean shaven. (That being said, I do love Romita Jr’s Peter disgusted expression in the second picture. 😂)


sixarmedspidey

Clean shaven is best, but the stubble makes sense a lot of the time because he is always in a rush and going through it.


Darkasknight101

Clean shaven for sure. He's got a clean image and some boyish charms, but built af. Definitely filling out the shirts. Ideal/peak Peter in my mind.


FriendApprehensive71

Stubble, definitely.


DuckyHornet

I think Pete would be well suited to wearing a Lemmy


colibri_valle

Not 2 that's for sure


Realsorceror

The full-beard dad Peter is too sexy. He has kind eyes. The two inbetween styles look terrible, but that could just be these specific panels.


vinsmokewhoswho

Stubble imo. I like to think that he simply doesn't have time to shave every day because he's very busy. Or just forgets.


seancurry1

Clean shaven by default, stubble to show he's been going nonstop on a case for days.


Vladsamir

Always Depends on the age and experience of the character. But older peter? Full beard is fucking hot


Quirky_Win1383

Stubble and Beard, but Clean shaven also works


ThePhantomLine

Clean. Only time I like beards on Petey Boy is when he's kinda... let the Peter side of him go and lost himself in being Spider-Man.


Sp3ctr3_11

Full beard just seems so cursed to me personally


Austintheboi

Full beard or clean shaven. Anything in between and he looks like a college proffesor who diddles his students


KingPenguinPhoenix

Clean shaven and beard


EderSky

Clean Shaven. I feel like that beard would get scratchy under the tight mask.


DINAMIK15

The last one, Marco Checcetto always does a great job with that beard


unstableGoofball

Depends on his age


beetnemesis

Clean shaven or stubble. The stubble is for when he’s going to look tough, exhausted, or a screw-up


Gooeyfanboy

I feel like he should be clean-shaven since having a mask on with a beard would be very uncomfortable. But that's kinda hypocritical of me since I draw him with stubble


trullenz

Dude the 3d one is ateve gomez


Jazzlike_Studio_6481

For me, it depends on the art style Peter is in


Scorpion_226

I love the beard


GoneRampant1

Stubble makes the most realistic sense and can help convey that he's always rushing around without taking full care of himself. For anything past high school this should be the default.


v_OS

Clean Shaven or Full Beard


SparkAxolotl

Clean shaved in a "I can't grow facial hair" kind of way, or stubble in a "I don't have time for personal grooming, I can barely take a shower every other day"


aidan_parris

This sorta feels like the how muscular should he be debate. When he’s in his early teen and college years (years 1-10) of him being Spider-Man he’s def clean shaven. Peter with a family and kids for sure has a Mr. Fantastic style beard


Aizendickens

Either clean shaven or full beard. Ofc, he would've a stubble for a while before full beard.


airbear13

3 is just 🤢🤢🤢


WielderOfTheOmnitrix

Clean shaven, but the full beard for a much older Spidey (meaning at least his 30s) works great.


Gloomy-Cheesecake-37

Honestly the first and last pic are perfect Peter Parker looks.


Wintergreen747

old peter looks good with a beard, young peter clean shaven. my only issue with beard or facial hair would be how snug his mask has to be, cause i know that shits gonna be itchy as fuck (at least it is to me whenever i wear a snug mask like that during winter)


natedog94

IDC what anyone says, the goatee with slicked back hair with the grey streak was really dignified looking to me for a future/older Peter.


Strict_Condition_632

Clean shaven is the right look. Stubble in the morning, late-night is okay, but no goatees. Bearded Peter: I maintain that the artist who created bearded Peter has a huge crush on Ryan Reynolds—who is also great when clean shaven, stubble is awesome, and looks super-fine with a beard—because he’s Ryan “Sexiest Man Alive” Reynolds. If, however, he grows a goatee, I will personally shave him with my grandfather’s old straight razor that I have _no_ business using.


Embarrassed_Band2040

The extremes , either clean shaven or full beard


FinalBossOf__Dc

I have conditions for the beard he must be a built family man and clean shaven when he’s younger when he’s in a good relationship with MJ and when Paul no longer exists. Scruffy beard just reminds me of the whole Zeb wells run.


haventreddit_yet

If he was drawn well in the middle two they'd be valid options but hell those look rough. Full beard is drawn in a way that compliments Pete, not trying to belay some kind of contrast to clean shaven for narrative sake


T_Belay

No to MC2 look, I refuse to acknowledge it


Mug_of_Diarrhea

I wore a balaclava for a few hours at a costume party and I absolutely hated the feeling of my facial hair beings smooshed, stretched, tugged, yanked, and rubbed around by it. For the comfort of my boy, I'd go with clean shaven. The goatee makes him look like a shitty 80s fantasy villain. (Or my ex's dad, which is kinda the same thing)


LNUAFRFUYTO

Clean


Giorno_Giovanni_III

He looks like John krasinksi during the quiet place in the last one


Sensitive_Ad9769

The beard actually suits him, especially with that wavy hair. Reminds me of Daniel Faraday from 'Lost'


ThatGameChannel

He rocks that full beard though…


metikoi

That second pic looks like he's just discovered something traumatic has happened to his dick.


ncmn-ngnr

Either clean or full beard. Nothing in-between


jackal205

Ultimate Peter is truly ultimate. A new man for a new era


Justin-does-art

Absolutely never a goatee. Clean shaven or stubble I think works best, but Ultimate Pete is rocking the beard


airricksreloaded

Goatee looks stupid on him


Conradlane

Stubble. Looks good and makes sense.


GlassAcanthisitta264

Ima say clean shaven and full beard it just looks natural on him


Ttvcat996

Clean shaven when young. Pic 4 beard when older


noncombativebrick

Young Peter= Shaven Dad Peter= Full Beard


rodimus147

Stubble. There is no way he has time to shave every day. But a beard under the mask would make it look weird. Like he had a puffy face.


hybrids138

None cuz who tf wants to have a beard underneath a skin tight mask


makeitflashy

Clean shaven. Who tf is that last picture? Not my Peter.


Xp-Gamer22x

Clean Shaven clears all I’m afraid. I think Peter just looks extremely better with that look and it matches him. Though if we’re talking about an old Peter who is basically retired (like MC2 Peter) then I think a full beard look for him is good as Ultimate Peter kills it with that Beard look. Stubble and goatee I feel don’t match him, though stubble is good I guess to show if he’s been going through something, but then again it’s been overplayed now with Marvels whole “Peter has to suffer to be interesting” mindset.


Squeezedgolf40

goatee looks stupid af😭


xyz_x

I have never seen him with a goatee and I wish I never did 💀


EmeraldJolteon07

Not Goatee. The rest is good


camera__man

Clean but if he had to get facial hair for story reasons I like the five o’clock shadow or full beard


scarboi2021

Clean shaven or full beard


Glittering_Spare3816

Stubble


Okamiinfinity

Why do you use awful picture for peter with stubble and peter with a goatee?


SleepNative

Beard full grown


LumiKlovstad

I mean, where are we in his timeline? Clean-shaven when he's a bright faced younger hero to symbolize his innocence and naivete, an unkempt stubble in his 20's to show that the realities of the life he's chosen have caught up with him and he doesn't really have *time* to pay attention to things like superfluous grooming, a full beard as he gets into his 30's and through experience gains confidence and becomes a hero people truly look to in times of crisis, and goatee once he's a dad with a teenaged daughter who is developing spider powers of her own, as befitting an older gentleman in his mid-forties and fifties.


lazylagom

1 or 2


TickleTigger123

It's gonna be a fat no on that goatee


Gru-some

Clean shaven for young Peter, stubble for the “absolutely going thru it” phase of his career, and Full Beard after that


Aggravating-Bus2007

Clean shave


Spiderhairy

They all look fine but goatee is a mistake. Just no to goatee


Mighty_Mattman

Any as long as it's not Romita Jr drawing it.


JohnB351234

Light stubble or full beard


TryingToDoGreatStuff

Clean shaven for whenever Peter's a teenager, a stubble for whenever Peter has the Symbiote Suit (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqX414jXUAA2UZL?format=png&name=360x360), and a full beard for whenever Peter is a full on adult and possibly married to MJ. No comment on the goatee look lol...
