Newsflash: I'm not the "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" anymore. Some folks need killing, and this monster's a prime example.

Spider-Man

History

Spider-Man became an assassin working alongside Wolverine. He has left his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson for a woman named Alex who greatly resembles the late Gwen Stacey.[3]

Spider-Verse[]

When a danger came to the Spider-Men of the Multiverse, Superior Spider-Man sought him out among others to fight off the threat.[6]

He was among the other spiders who greeted Spider-Man Noir when he joined Octavius' army,[7] and was later one of the spiders who tried to defeat Karn on Earth-2818. However, Brix and Bora arrived, forcing the spider-people to retreat back to 2099 AD.[8]

Among the Superior Spider-Army

During the conflict, Spider-Man also joined an alternate Superior Spider-Army. The Superior Army was recruited by the S.H.I.E.L.D. of Earth-TRN461 into the Spider-Men, a group of Spider-Man analogs assembled to combat the Multiversal Sinister Six. While there, Peter joined the Association of Assassins, led by his Earth-15 counterpart.[2]

When the other team came to recruit him and Octavius' Superior Spider-Army, he died in the jaws of Daemos.[4]

Return[]

Spider-Man was resurrected under unknown means. He joined the Amazing Arachnids, an interdimensional baseball team made up of spider-totems. During a baseball game with the Seething Snikters in the Prime Marvel Universe, Deadpool distracted Spider-Ham and in retaliation, the Amazing Arachnids and the Seething Snikters teamed-up to gang up on Wade.[5]

Peter on Earth-616

He was among the spider-totems teleported to Earth-616 after Silk stabbed Morlun with the Totem Dagger. Spider-Man aided the Spider-Army in holding back Shathra until she was defeated by Dr. Peter Parker.[9]

Attributes

Powers

  • Spider-Augmented Physiology: Presumably this version of Spider-Man has highly refined versions of his Earth-616 counterpart, as he has received formal training. He has beaten the Black Widow, a top agent of SHIELD with ease.[3]
    • Healing Factor: He has a low-level rapid healing rate, being capable of healing moderate injuries overnight.[3]
    • Leaping[2]
    • Superhuman Agility: His supernatural agility is so developed, that his sense of equilibrium is uncanny.[3]
    • Superhuman Durability: While not bulletproof, he is highly resilient to physical trauma, caused by a being of superhuman levels of strength.[3]
    • Superhuman Speed: He has the ability to move faster than a man at the peak of human ability. His reflexes are also similarly enhanced as well.[3]
    • Superhuman Stamina: His muscles & metabolism are developed to the point, where he shows tardiness after hours of physical exertion.[3]
    • Superhuman Strength: He has the same proportionate strength equal to that of a spider, which he has improved via rigorous training.[3]
    • Spider-Senses: His spider-sense has been honed to the point where he just 'knows things', and is developed to the point that he knows what's going to happen before his opponent could think about it, so beating him is nearly impossible due to this precognition. He has demonstrated knowing what would happen to Wolverine and a sniper hiding in the trees while being several hundred feet away from them, engaged in his own activities, and planned the entire situation exactly right to know what was going to happen.[3]
    • Wallcrawling: Like any arachnid, he can cling to any surface with complete ease.[3]

Gun in his web-shooters. Also Impact Webbing and standard web-shooters.[3]

Notes

  • He has shown no qualms about killing and does what it takes to get the job done. This might be because of his prolonged exposure to Wolverine and their friendship, enabling him to adapt to his type of personality.
  • Shown to be always serious, lacking his quips and joking demeanor in battle. This could possibly be because he has no problem 'coping' with the situation like his mainstream counterpart or simply because he has just stopped due of his friendship with Wolverine.
  • The events of Edge of the Spider-Verse demonstrate that his leaving New York and his former life was a choice to protect his loved ones and minimize his impact on them. In his universe, "With great power comes great responsibility, and greater enemies," who would put people like Mary Jane and Aunt May in grave danger to get at him.
  • Peter knew of the Multiverse before facing Karn.[6]
  • Spidey believes another Spider-Man probably replaced him back in New York.[6]
  • This Spider-Man's webbing has been rendered as black rather than white in some full-color panels. (but not uniformly or with explanation.)

Trivia

  • Spider-Man's costume might be inspired by an unused Spider-Man costume design by Alex Ross for 2002's Spider-Man film.[10]
