Into the SpiderVerse

Peter Parker is a completely average and unassuming college student. He's broke, uncool, and unimportant. He's smart, but that gets him into more trouble than it's worth. He's often bullied or overlooked. At home, his Aunt May and Uncle Ben serve as his guardians and mentors. Bestowing upon him wisdom and kindness beyond his years. There are other people in his life too. There is the beautiful Mary Jane Watson, Peter's lifelong crush and girl next door. Also, Harry Osborn, who is Peter's childhood best friend and son of Norman Osborn, owner of Oscorp. Yes, there is nothing special about this all american nerd from Queens. However, during a class field-trip, Peter is bitten by a radioactive spider changing his life forever.

Gifted with amazing spider-like powers, Peter Parker takes on the mantle of Spider-Man, protector of New York. But he's not perfect and has much to learn. While trying to abuse his power for greed, Peter inadvertently gets his uncle killed. While dying uncle in the arms of the son he never had, Uncle Ben bestows upon Peter a phrase that goes on to define the Spider-Man ethos for decades to come, "With great power, comes great responsibility". Over the years, Spider-Man will go on to fight Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin, a man made of living sand, a symbiotic alien that tries to ruin his life, a man with six powerful metal arms, and so many more villains. All the while keeping his uncle's advice close to his heart.

Although Spider-Man is the one thing standing between the destruction of New York, he is still Peter Parker. He constantly must choose between Peter or Spidey and it's never a winning fight. Someone almost always loses and it is usually him. Yet he pushes on, he always gets back up. Day after day, Peter becomes Spider-Man and goes above and beyond to save his friends, his family, and even some of his enemies. He laughs, he loves, and he makes mistakes.

This is one of the many stories of Spider-Man. But you might ask, what if Peter never got bit? What if Uncle Ben never died? But what if something was different? Enter the Spider-Verse! This page aims to give a brief oversight of the different Spider-People from Peter's original universe and beyond...

Spider-Man		Secret Identity	Original Universe	Unique Superpower
		Miles Morales	Earth-616	-After being bit by a similar radioactive spider, Miles Morales gained all the amazing powers of the original Spider-Man but with the added ability to turn invisible and shock bio-electricity.
		Gwen Stacy	Earth-65	-In Gwen's universe, she was bit by the same radioactive spider that bit the original Spider-Man leading her to become Spider-Woman (a.k.a Spider-Gwen). This version of Spider-Man hold most of the core aspects of the character but Gwen adds an element of flair and grace to the overall aestetic.
		Miguel O'Hara	Earth-928	-In the year 2099, Miguel O'Hara gains his Spider-Man abilities through genetic manipulation and is commonly refered to as, "Spider-Man 2099". His unique powers include enhanced senses, retractable talons, and the ability to produce organic webbing. His stories often center around the multiverse and protecting it from rouge Spider-People.
		Jessica Drew	Earth-616	-Like many Spider-Folk, Jessica Drew's origins are complicated and contridictive. For the most part, she is the result of a genetic experiment conducted by the terroist organization Hydra. However she always becomes Spider-Woman and turns against Hydra to kick some bad guy butt. She was also Marvel's first official Spider-Woman (second only to a Spider-Woman spinoff story in collaboration with Marvel and PBS kids).
		Cindy Moon	Earth-616	-In this timeline, Cindy Moon is bit by the same spider that bit Peter and gained the same powers but with a twist. Taking on the name "Silk", Moon developed a quicker and more sensitive "Spidey-Sense", organic webbing that shot from her fingertips, and in some stories she's stronger and more dexterous than our original Spidey.
		Mayday Parker	Earth-982	-This Spider-Girl is the child of Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker. Gifted with the same spidey powers as her dad, Mayday take up the mantle of Spider-Girl and goes on to take her fathers place as New York City's protector.
		Ben Reilly	Earth-616	-Perhaps the most controversial additon to the Spider-Verse is Ben Reilly's Spider-Man or "Scarlet Spider". After a cloning disaster at the hands of Doctor Octopus, the two Peter Parkers, and two Spider-Men, aren't sure who is the original and who is the clone. After several confusing story lines, the clone Peter Parker is realized and changes his name to Ben Reilly.
		Peni Parker	Earth-14512	Hailing from an anime-inspired universe, Peni Parker is a 14 year-old girl who pilots a spider themed mech suit built by her late father and sometimes piloted by a psychic spider. She is often depicted in an anime art style and is incredibly tech savvy.
		Peter Porker	Earth-8311	With so many universes and so many spider-people, some are bound to be truly unique. Spider-Ham, or Peter Porker, was a spider bitten by a radioactive pig. As Peter Porker, he works as a photographer for the Daily Beagle, but as Spider-Ham he swings around New York taking down baddies like Ductor Doom, Kingpig, and Doctor Octopussy Cat.
