"Spider-Man" is the name of multiple comic book superheroes from the Marvel Comics Multiverse. The original and most well known is Peter Parker created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko originating from the Earth-616 universe. Within the mainstream Marvel Universe there have been characters that have taken the mantle such as Ben Reilly, Mac Gargan, Otto Octavius, and Kurt Wagner.

Outside of the mainstream universe, there are different incarnations of Spider-Man in alternate universes. Popular examples include characters such as the Ultimate version of Peter Parker and his successor, Miles Morales, an alternate future version named Miguel O'Hara, a daughter of Peter Parker named Mayday Parker in the ''MC2'' universe, a different take on Peter Parker in the Great Depression era, a universe where Peter's supporting character, Gwen Stacy, becomes Spider-Woman instead of Parker, along with talking animal parodies like Spider-Ham. Originally, these characters were depicted as separate from each other, but they have crossed over together in storylines like "Spider-Verse", "Web Warriors", and ''Spider-Geddon'', in teams such as Spider-Army and Web-Warriors, where the many different versions of Spider-themed characters are the major protagonists of the storyline. Some of these characters appeared in '' Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'' and its sequel. Some of these characters were temporarily merged in the same universe in the 2015 comic book series ''Secret Wars'' as a part of the Spider-Man family.

There have been different version characters in other media that have crossed over in comics as well.

Prime Earth (Earth-616)

Peter Parker, the Spider-Man of Earth-616, is the original variation of the character and appears in nearly every single piece of other media surrounding Spider-Man.

Other universes

Other related characters exist in alternative versions of the Marvel Universe called the Multiverse. These characters originally appeared in their own continuity but later on crossed over with the mainstream Spider-Man family. In 2015 all the alternate comic book universes were destroyed and only a few characters joined with Earth-616 characters in its own universe including various Spider-Men.

DC crossovers (Earth-7642)

In some intercompany crossovers with DC Comics, Spider-Man has worked alongside a Superman based on the Earth One version, twice, once to defeat Doctor Octopus and Lex Luthor and the other to stop Doctor Doom from providing Parasite with long-term access to the powers of the Hulk and Wonder Woman. He also worked alongside a Batman based on the post-''Crisis'' version, to defeat Carnage and the Joker, the two later collaborating to defeat the Kingpin and Ra's al Ghul, with Fisk eventually aiding the heroes in the end.

''Deadpool: Samurai'' (Earth-346)

In the alternate universe '' Deadpool: Samurai'' manga series, which takes place on Earth-346, Deadpool receives an offer to join Samurai Squad, the Japanese division of the Avengers. Before leaving for Japan, Deadpool announces his departures to Spider-Man, who agrees grant him a request before he leaves.

During the course of the series, he becomes a police officer. Three other related characters appear.

In the same universe, an African American homeless man was mutated by Terrigen Mist, gaining red patterned skin resembling Spider-Man's suit and the ability to generate illusions. He went by the alias "Spiders Man".

A.I.M. Pocket Reality ''(Earth-13584)''

On this Earth, Spider-Man underwent a further mutation that turned his skin blue, caused him to develop a spider-like language, and enabled him to make webs that have an effect on Iron Man's armors and Doctor Strange's magic, while emitting a smell that repels the monsters on the Thing's side. Using these webs, Spider-Man surrounded a section of Hell's Kitchen to act as his territory for him and his gang (consisting of Daredevil, Hawkeye, Shang-Chi, Iron Fist, Colleen Wing, and Misty Knight). The Dark Avengers had to make their way through Spider-Man's territory in order to rescue Moonstone and Skaar from Strangetown, which resulted in them running into Spider-Man's gang. After Spider-Man's gang subdues the Dark Avengers while thinking that they are knockoffs of the originals, Ai Apaec speaks with Spider-Man in their spider language, stating that they are good guys. Spider-Man releases them from their webs. The Dark Avengers and Spider-Man's gang arrive in Strangetown, where they fought the All-Seeing Eye and the Soulsnake who are on Doctor Strange's side. After the two creatures are killed, Spider-Man is killed by Tigra as Doctor Strange stated that his two creatures were sacrificed so that Spider-Man can be brought down.

''Exiles''

In the series ''Exiles'', which involves inter-dimensional travel, several alternative versions appear:

* A Peter Parker who is part of a mutant superhero team, Force-X, led by Emma Frost. His codename is "Spider". His outfit is the standard Force-X uniform, he wears goggles instead of a mask, and his webbing is organic.
* A version of Peter Parker (from Earth-218) who is a child abused by his Uncle Ben. While locked in the cellar, he is befriended by a large spider-like creature, the Tallus, who instructs Blink and Nocturne to lead this universe's incarnation of Wolverine to the rundown shack the Parkers call home. A fight ensues and the creature and Wolverine are both slain. As Blink and Nocturne depart this reality, it is shown that the creature bit the young Peter.
* Morph fought a Demon Spider-Man on an alternative world. Later, the Demon Spider-Man was viewed briefly by Mojo and Major Domo as it attacked a young couple in a parking complex, but the Demon Spider-Man killed itself.

''Heroes Reborn'' (Earth-21798)

In the '' Heroes Reborn'' event, a change in the timeline results in a continuity in which the Squadron Supreme are Earth's mightiest heroes while the Avengers never came to be. In this continuity, Peter isn't bitten by the radioactive spider due to Flash Thompson pushing him out of the way right before it happens. He achieves valedictorian in high school and later attends Empire University, but drops out after Aunt May dies in the crossfire of one of Hyperion's battles. He is hired by Robbie Robertson to take pictures of heroes and act as a friend to Hyperion (in a similar fashion to Jimmy Olsen's relationship with Superman in DC Comics).

''House of M'' (Earth-58163)

He is rich, famous and married to Gwen Stacy, and they have a young son named Ritchie. Aunt May and Uncle Ben are alive and in good health, and J. Jonah Jameson is Peter's often-abused publicist. Unfortunately, his life unravels when Jameson reveals to the world that Spider-Man is not a born mutant. After the world is restored to normal, Peter suffers terribly with the memory of the life he left behind, expressing a desire to kill Magneto, whom he mistakenly believes was behind the events of the House of M, and the Scarlet Witch, whose powers were responsible for the altered reality.

''The Manga'' (Earth-70091)

Marvel Mangaverse (Earth-2301)

''Marvel Adventures'' (Earth-20051)

This version of Spider-Man first appeared in ''Marvel Adventures Spider-Man'' #53-61 before appearing in the re-titled ''Spider-Man: Marvel Adventures'' comic book series. A modern-day high school student, this Spider-Man's origin is similar to his mainstream counterpart, but his supporting cast is significantly different. Although Gwen Stacy exists in this universe, she and Peter are not dating — instead Peter is dating a brand-new character named Sophia "Chat" Sanduval, who is a mutant with the ability to talk to animals. Peter's relationship with Gwen's father, Captain George Stacy, also differs from the original version — here, Captain Stacy discovers Peter's secret identity early on, yet rather than hide this information from Peter (as his mainstream counterpart did), he confides in Peter and becomes Spider-Man's unofficial police contact. While this Spider-Man battles supervillains, he is generally more concerned with combating street-level crime and focuses heavily on taking down the Torinos, a powerful New York City Mafia family.

''MC2'' (Earth-982)

An alternative version of Peter Parker also exists on Earth-982 aka the ''Marvel Comics 2'' (''MC2'') universe, appearing as a supporting character in Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker), Spider-Girl.

The title follows almost the entire 616 timeline of the character up until the first attempt at a "relaunch" by the company, 1999, where it deviates and provides an alternative ending to the ''The Gathering of Five and The Final Chapter, Final Chapter'' storyline. Peter's wayward daughter May is revealed to be alive and well, and is returned to both Parkers by Peter's first clone, the redeemed Kaine. Despite now being a father, Peter continues to fight crime as Spider-Man, and begins to cope with the new responsibilities brought by his baby daughter.

Two years later, during his final battle against the Green Goblin, rather than survive unscathed, Peter loses a leg to his arch-enemy and Osborn is killed. Peter finally realizes the price he has paid for being Spider-Man, and ends his career to raise a family with Mary Jane and May. Over the years, he overcomes his physical handicap and ultimately joins the NYPD in a scientific capacity. However, after saving him from an insane Normie Osborn, his daughter May "Mayday" Parker begins a career as Spider-Girl behind his back, a decision Peter begrudgingly is forced to accept and deal with, made difficult by his love for May.

Regardless of his handicap, Peter returned to the role of Spider-Man several times. Once was to aid his daughter and Darkdevil, the son of Ben Reilly, against Kaine, another to convince the latest Spider-Man (the son of Jessica Drew) to cease risking his life, and in ''Spider-Girl'' #100 to save May from the Hobgoblin. Peter and MJ ultimately have a second child, Benjamin Richard Parker, Benjamin "Benjy" Parker Jr., who is temporarily rendered deaf after possession by the Carnage symbiote and being blasted with high-frequency sonics. Benjy later develops powers of his own at an infant age. Peter was killed by Daemos, the brother of Morlun, during the "Spider-Verse" event while trying to protect Benjy and Mayday. Near the end of ''Spider-Geddon'', The Other (comics), the Other resurrects him, reuniting with Mayday in ''End of the Spider-Verse'' and resuming activity as Spider-Man in ''Spider-Boy'' (due to the Other growing his leg back),

''Spider-Girl''

The ''Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker), Spider-Girl'' comic book series, originally published under the ''Marvel Comics 2, MC2'' Imprint (trade name), imprint, features May "Mayday" Parker, Peter's daughter in an alternative Multiverse (Marvel Comics), continuity. This timeline diverged from the Earth-616, regular continuity when Peter and Mary Jane's daughter is returned to them by Kaine Parker, Kaine. In ''Spider-Girl'', Peter has been retired from crime fighting since his final battle with the Green Goblin, which cost him a leg. Peter has settled down to family life and works for the New York City Police Department as a Forensics, forensic scientist. His teen daughter May follows in his footsteps against his wishes, but Peter eventually helps her train for her calling. Peter appears in costume several times in ''Spider-Girl'', either to restrain and protect May, or to assist her. Peter is among the superheroes kidnapped by Loki in the spin-off series ''Last Hero Standing''.

In the ''Spider-Girl'' storyline "Brand New May", Peter has uncovered a lab, within it is a stasis tank containing a Symbiote (comics), symbiote duplicate of Mayday Parker, with notes left behind by Norman Osborn suggesting she is the real Mayday, and not a clone. When protecting his nephew Normie from an exploding test tube, Peter is affected by the serum within much like Osborn was...and begins to develop erratic behavior. He ultimately overcomes an attempt by Norman Osborn to control his mind and defeats him with the aid of his daughter, her clone, and the spirit of his Aunt May.

Spider-Man (Gerry Drew)

In the same ''Marvel Comics 2, MC2'' continuity as Spider-Girl, Gerald "Gerry" Drew, the son of Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), Jessica Drew, inherits spider-powers and poses as Spider-Man. Created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, he first appeared in ''Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker), Spider-Girl'' #32 (May 2001), and is a supporting character in ''Spider-Girl''.

Within the context of the stories, Jessica Drew, the original Spider-Woman, had retired from superheroics and gotten married. She gives birth to a baby boy, Gerry, who was diagnosed with a strange blood-borne disorder due to radiation exposure in the womb.

The experiment imbues Gerry with spider-powers, but did not cure him. Gerry's illness strains his parents' marriage and leads to their divorce. Feeling responsible for the break-up, Gerry becomes withdrawn. Jessica tries to alleviate his pain by telling him stories from her past, his favorites involving Spider-Man.

Determined to make his short time on Earth count, Gerry designs his own Spider-Man costume and equipment based from his idol's, and convinces his mother to train him in how to use his powers. Calling himself Spider-Man, he meets Spider-Girl, and the two initially clash. During a fight between several villains, a bullet intended for Spider-Man kills one of the villains when Spider-Girl shoves him out of its way. Upset that he was responsible for a death, Gerry runs into Darkdevil, who trains him to be a more effective crime-fighter. At the request of Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man, Gerry decides to retire from superheroic adventuring, while Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards searches for a cure for his blood disease.

In ''Marvel Zombies 2'', he notices that his hunger is starting to fade and, as a result, is the first of the Galacti to turn against his fellow zombies. Eventually with the aid of Forge, Malcom, and the Acolytes, the zombies retaining their hunger are defeated. Spider-Man is one of the zombies that remain and continues work to rebuild New Wakanda and bury the dead.

In ''Marvel Zombies Return'', Spider-Man is teleported to a new world, where he consumes and infects the Sinister Six (except for the Sandman).

Spider-Man (Earth-26496)

''Spider-Verse'' films

The 2018 animated film '' Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'' adapts the "Spider-Verse" storyline and the ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' books starring Miles Morales. Variations of Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham, Spider-Noir, SP//dr, Spider-Man 2099, and a divergent version of the Spider-Man from Spider-Man (1967 TV series), the 1960s animated series (voiced by Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, John Mulaney, Nicolas Cage, Kimiko Glenn, Oscar Isaac, and Jorma Taccone, respectively) are featured.

The film also features two different versions of Peter Parker. The version in Miles' dimension, Earth-1610B, has been Spider-Man for 10 years, was married to Mary Jane Watson, and also had a secret underground lair in Aunt May's backyard that housed dozens of different Spider-Man costumes and gear. In the movie's first act, he is killed by the Kingpin while trying to stop the villain from using a particle accelerator to access other dimensions. His death inspires the recently bitten Miles Morales into carrying on his mission as the new Spider-Man and stopping the Kingpin from endangering the city. Unlike other versions, this version of Peter has blond hair. He was voiced by Chris Pine.

Spider-Man's exposure to the particle accelerator causes Peter B. Parker, the Spider-Man of Earth-616B, to get sucked into Miles' dimension. This version of Peter is in his late 30s and has been Spider-Man for 22 years. He was also married to Mary Jane Watson, but they divorced after he refused to have children with her. This, coupled with the death of his Aunt May, sent Peter's life into a downward spiral where he gave up being the wall-crawler, resulting in him getting lazier and overweight. He reluctantly agrees to mentor Miles on becoming the new Spider-Man to return to his home dimension, but later tries to prevent Miles from joining the other displaced Spider-Men when the young hero's inexperience begins to hold them back and volunteers to sacrifice himself so the other heroes can get home. Miles later joins them in the final fight against the Kingpin and his minions after he learns how to control his powers and instills new confidence in Peter that he will successfully defend his dimension. Thanks to his experience with Miles and a run-in with an alternate version of his ex, Peter decides to give his relationship with Mary Jane another shot. He was voiced by Jake Johnson.

The sequel, ''Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'', also features a multitude of alternate Spider people, many original creations but also many returning Spider-Man variants, including Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), Spider-Woman, Spider-Punk, Spider-Man India, Ben Reilly, Scarlet Spider, The Spectacular Spider-Man (TV series), Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Man (Insomniac Games series), Insomniac Spider-Man and #Spider-Byte (Earth-22191), Spider-Byte.
