Just thought of a figure that would work for his head.

The Kroenen figure from this set has the perfect head for it. The figure itself is a little taller than most 28mm, but for a head swap, it should be ok.

Another option, depending on your paint/putty skills, is the BPRD Heroclix set Johann Kraus

Looking for a set of rules that adaptable for different genres.

I don't know--Spiderman spends a lot of time upside down. How is he going to keep that hat on?  I'd go for sans hat with the goggles--although with a full face mask why would you need goggles? maybe I'm being too rational here  lol

But in true Indy style his hat would always stay on! It's an unwritten rule!

He'd just spray a little webbing under it to keep it on.  Or maybe it follows "The Other" storyline.  He got a sticky back in that, maybe his head got sticky too.  Not sure which was worst, "The Other" or "Brand New Day".

Naturally if Noir Spidey lost his hat he would do a very dramatic Indy esq grab, or rather webshot in this case, to pull his hat out of danger at the very last second.

Noir Spidey does seem to spend a lot less time upside down than his regular version, a lot more standing on rooftops or overhangs with the wind billowing his trenchcoat.

According to the Marvel Wiki, his webbing isn't strong enough to support him for swinging, but he can use it to web up his foes. He also can't climb walls. He seems to be more of a "Batman" type, that can shoot webbing to tie up the bad guys.

All of Spiderman's skin has been "sticky" since the 1960s. I have a reprint from the Lee/Kirby era where he hangs from a roof by his back. He has to consciously will to be stuck to something however.

Yeah he is very much a pulp/noir detective crime fighter with a couple of extra powers at his disposal rather than the cocky young webslinger.
