Every Spider-Man In Across The Spider-Verse Explained
Contains spoilers for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse"
Three years before the groundbreaking "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" debuted to near-universal acclaim and revolutionized the animation industry, comics legend Stan Lee revealed what he liked most about the costume donned by the webslinging hero he co-created: "Anybody reading Spider-Man in any part of the world can imagine that they themselves are under the costume. And that's a good thing," he told Newsarama (via Marvel). Over the years, this core theme of relatability — an integral component of Peter Parker's mythos since his first appearance in 1962 — has opened new avenues of storytelling, banking on the idea that in Marvel's vast multiverse, countless iterations of the multimedia company's flagship character exist. After all, if Spider-Man can be anybody under that full-face mask, then surely, anybody can be Spider-Man.
"Into the Spider-Verse" is far from the first attempt in the decades-old franchise to unite different versions of the wall-crawler. Over the years, various comic books, cartoons, and video games have capitalized on the concept, but none of these projects resonated with audiences worldwide quite like "Into the Spider-Verse" did. With an incredible box office record, overwhelmingly positive reception, and numerous awards under its belt, it's no wonder that Marvel and Sony are continuing the "Spider-Verse" story with not one, but two movies: 2023's "Across the Spider-Verse" and "Beyond the Spider-Verse" in 2024.
"Across the Spider-Verse" showcases an astounding number of Spider-characters, some pulled from existing Spider-media and others created for the film. Here's a look at all of them.
Gwen Stacy, Spider-Woman
"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" opens with Earth-65's Spider-Woman, Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), giving the audience a glimpse of her life after the events of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." We learn that this version of Spider-Gwen has an origin story similar to her comic book counterpart's (as seen in 2014's "Edge of Spider-Verse" #2): After receiving powers from the bite of an irradiated spider, she establishes a secret identity and fights crime as a vigilante. Her best friend, Peter Parker, transforms himself into the Lizard, accidentally dying in their ensuing battle; Gwen's father, police officer George Stacy (Shea Whigham), mistakenly assumes that Spider-Woman murdered the boy.
Frightened and uncertain about her relationships and future, she jumps at the chance to join the Spider Society. This sprawling team of spider-powered superheroes from different Earths have banded together under Earth-928's Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac) to prevent the fabric of the multiverse from being destroyed by dimension-hopping anomalies. Along the way, she also discovers the shocking truth about her only other friend, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), the Spider-Man of Earth-1610 — and why he can never join the Society. However, going against the group's directives, she catches up with Miles during a mission — a choice that leads to disastrous consequences.
Gwen eventually finds herself kicked out of the Society, as Miles is stranded on a hostile, unfamiliar Earth. It's no biggie, though, because the drummer who never belonged decides to form her own "band" of old and new Spider-friends to locate and rescue Miles.
Miles Morales, Spider-Man
The protagonist of the "Spider-Verse" trilogy, Miles Morales is the sole Spider-Man of Earth-1610 and operates in Brooklyn. Over a year has passed since the events of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," with Miles fully embracing his role as his city's super-powered protector (complete with a new costume that he designed himself). He crosses paths with the Spot (Jason Schwartzman), an apparent joke of a villain who rapidly transforms into a terrifying threat over the course of the film.
Miles learns about the existence of the Spider Society following an unexpected visit from his friend, Earth-65's Gwen Stacy (who was secretly sent to his Earth to monitor and detain the Spot). Unbeknownst to her, Miles follows her through a multiversal portal as she tracks down the villain — and his actions nearly cause the destruction of another Spider-Man's world. At the Society's headquarters, he not only gets bluntly turned down but also discovers that he was the "original anomaly": The spider that bit him was from Earth-42 and was supposed to bite the destined Spider-Person of that dimension, not him. Worse, the Society tries to stop him from saving his father (Brian Tyree Henry) from violently dying, as the death of someone close to them is a "canon event" that all Spiders must suffer.
Unwilling to accept this, Miles makes a desperate bid to go home, outmaneuvering the entire Society in the process. However, he lands on Earth-42 instead and is captured by that world's Prowler: Miles Morales.
Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man 2099
"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" builds upon the post-credits scene of its predecessor by formally introducing Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of Earth-928. This Spider-Man's dimension is set in the year 2099, and New York has transformed into the technologically advanced city of Nueva York. Aided by his holo-assistant Lyla (Greta Lee), Miguel forms the Spider Society, taking it upon himself to maintain order across what he calls the Arachno-Humanoid Poly-Multiverse. Interestingly, he has some major beef with Miles Morales, as Miguel blames for the very first multiverse anomaly in "Into the Spider-Verse."
This version of Spider-Man 2099 is barely recognizable from the original, who first appeared in 1992's "Spider-Man 2099" #1. The Miguel we see in "Across the Spider-Verse" is an angry, tortured soul traumatized by his past failings, completely devoid of a sense of humor and prone to throwing objects in a fit of rage (earning him the nickname "Property Damage Spider-Man" from the production team). While not an outright villain, he antagonizes Miles to a cruel degree. Aside from revealing that Miles' father is fated to die and prohibiting him from doing anything about it, Miguel also tells the fledgling superhero that he's nothing more than a mistake and that he was never meant to be Spider-Man.
By the movie's end, Miguel and his strike team are hunting Miles across the multiverse — and it's clear that this "vampire ninja" Spider-Man will stop at nothing to keep the Spider-Verse "canon" intact.
Jessica Drew, Spider-Woman
The first new Spider-character introduced in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" is Jessica Drew (Issa Rae), the afroed arachnid-themed defender of a yet-unrevealed Earth designation. A tough-as-nails, tough-love-giving, motorcycle-riding mother-to-be, this webslinging wonder fearlessly jumps into battle. She instantly makes a strong impression on Spider-Gwen, whom she invites to the Society and takes under her wing as a mentee (in the same way Miles learned under Earth-616's Peter B. Parker, voiced by Jake Johnson, in the previous film).
The original version of Jessica Drew was introduced in 1977's "Marvel Spotlight" #32, and she's been given a major revamp in many ways for her silver screen animation debut. While not much is known about the origin story of Jessica's "Across the Spider-Verse" iteration, it is clear that the Society's de facto leader, Miguel O'Hara, trusts her considerably, to the point where she basically acts as his second-in-command. She is also highly critical of Peter B. Parker's mentoring skills, hardly hesitating to point to Miles as proof that he is a terrible teacher.
Initially, Jessica is strict towards Gwen, emphasizing that the latter is her star student and downright disapproving of her continued association with Miles. She even stands by and does nothing when Miguel expels Gwen from the Society and sends her home. By the film's end, however, Jessica seems proud that Gwen has taken the initiative to search for Miles herself, without the Society's support. (Could this be a hint that Jessica will shift allegiances in the trilogy's conclusion?)
Peter Parker, LEGO Spider-Man
During the sequence where the Spot first explores the possibilities of his growing powers, he takes a quick detour to Earth-13122, the home of LEGO Spider-Man. This unique take on the webslinger was completely absent in the promotional materials leading up to the release of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." However, his inclusion was revealed during the main cast's interview with Fandango – and surprisingly, LEGO Peter Parker plays a much bigger role than just a "blink and you'll miss it" cameo.
After the black-and-white baddie rears his head (literally) in the LEGO universe and destroys a chunk of the Daily Bugle building, we learn that LEGO Peter Parker witnessed the whole event. Taking a quick break from J. Jonah Jameson's (J.K. Simmons) hotheaded hassling, the mild-mannered minifigure hides in a different room and transforms into LEGO Spider-Man. He activates his Spider Society device (complete with the kind of "beep boop" sound effects that you'd make with your mouth while you're playing with LEGO bricks) and reports the incident to Miguel O'Hara, who thanks him and calls him one of their best Spider-Men.
LEGO Spider-Man is a welcome addition here, and also represents a "full-circle" moment of sorts: The first official LEGO sets featuring the hero were tie-ins for Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man," released in 2002. With that said, the LEGO Spider-Man we see in "Across the Spider-Verse" is based on the version that came with the comic-inspired "Daily Bugle" set, which came out in 2021.
Pavitr Prabhakar, Spider-Man India
When Gwen Stacy is ordered to find and arrest the Spot in Earth-50101's Mumbattan, an invisible Miles Morales secretly follows her. As a result, Miles also meets Gwen's contact and Spider Society teammate there: Pavitr Prabhakar (Karan Soni), that Earth's Spider-Man. Introduced as a lighthearted soul who absolutely revels in being Spider-Man, Pavitr gracefully swings through the city with his web-bangles, showing a natural gift for superheroics despite being a superhero for just six months. He is also quick to sense the romantic tension between Miles and Gwen (and doesn't hesitate to bring it up multiple times) while sharply poking fun at Western stereotypes of Indian culture during their fight against the Spot.
Unfortunately, this encounter paves the way for a demonstration of the consequences of multiversal meddling. When Miles (who isn't supposed to be there in the first place) prevents a "canon event" by saving Earth-50101's Inspector Singh from being crushed by debris, Pavitr's reality begins to collapse. We then see the Spider Society's multiverse repair team on the scene, planting devices that were seemingly designed to prevent dimensional incursions (though we don't get to witness if they succeed).
In the comics, the character first appeared in 2005's "Spider-Man: India" #1. There, he sports a costume that is much closer in appearance to the classic Spider-Man suit, but with white pants and red pointed shoes. Additionally, the comics version of Pavitr operates in Mumbai (based on the real-world Indian city) and not a made-up location.
Hobie Brown, Spider-Punk
Whenever applicable, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" makes sure that each Spider-character incorporates visual aspects of their respective dimensions into their overall aesthetic. There is no better example of this than the Spider-Man of Earth-138, Hobie Brown aka Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya). A literal walking collage of newspapers and band posters, the anarchic Spider-Punk cooly strums his guitar in the heat of battle, bringing electrifying energy wherever he goes while never hesitating to give The Man the middle finger.
Hobie lends some much-needed assistance to Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales, and Pavitr Prabhakar at a critical moment on Earth-50101, as they try (but ultimately fail) to stop the Spot from activating Alchemax's super collider in that reality. He also accompanies Miles and Gwen to the Spider Society HQ on Earth-928, where it quickly becomes clear that he and Miguel O'Hara mutually dislike each other. (In one sequence, Hobie is thrilled when Peter B. Parker's daughter Mayday, er, fills her diaper while Miguel is holding her, saluting the child while calling the act "taking a crap on the establishment.") Crucially, Hobie helps Miles escape from captivity, taking advantage of the ensuing chaos at the Spider Society HQ to quit.
Later on, his friendship with Gwen (funnily, a constant source of jealousy for Miles) becomes a massive boon when both Miles and Gwen go rogue: The "Project Bootleg" dimension-hopping device he leaves for her on Earth-65 enables Gwen to recruit her trusted Spider-allies to join her splinter group.
Peter Parkedcar, the Spider-Mobile
The Spider-Mobile (or Spider-Buggy) is one of the oddest yet most iconic parts of Spider-Man's comic book history. The car sports the colors of the one superhero who doesn't need a car to get around (and doesn't even have a driver's license in his civilian identity). Built together by Spider-Man and his best bud, the Human Torch, the Spider-Mobile made its first full appearance in 1974's "Amazing Spider-Man" #130, but was rendered unusable roughly 30 issues later. Still, it has been brought back repeatedly in the books, as both a functional vehicle and a museum display piece (much to the webslinger's embarrassment). In recent years, however, its most noteworthy comeback was in 2015's "Amazing Spider-Man" Vol. 3 #12 — not as a vehicle for Spider-Man to ride, but as a legitimate, sentient Spider-Man variation from Earth-53931.
This version of the Spider-Mobile — along with the totally serious secret identity of "Peter Parkedcar" — makes an appearance in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." It is perhaps the sheer ridiculousness of Parkedcar's existence that earned it (him?) a few seconds in the spotlight: The Spider-Mobile is one of the few Spider Society members Miles gets officially introduced to, complete with its Earth designation in a caption box, while he explores the facilities of the Spider Society HQ with Spider-Gwen, Spider-Punk, and Jessica Drew. Parkedcar also joins the rest of the Society in trying to apprehend Miles — but it humorously fails to cross the web-tightrope held by another Spider-variant.
Ben Reilly, the Scarlet Spider
One look at the Scarlet Spider (Andy Samberg) in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" would be enough for any comics fan to know that this version of Ben Reilly embodies the essence of grim and gritty 1990s comics, from heavily inked head to toe. (Honestly, his comic-inspired aesthetic is the best thing about him, as it makes him visually striking.) Unfortunately, fans who were expecting a respectable interpretation of the fan-favorite Spider-clone are unlikely to find it in this iteration.
Hailing from Earth-94 (a reference to the character's first appearance as the Scarlet Spider in 1994's "Web of Spider-Man" #118), the Ben Reilly we meet in this movie is a tongue-in-cheek caricature of '90s comic book cliches. From his unnecessarily verbose descriptions of otherwise mundane objects to his obsession with muscles and hitting the "perfect pose" to his penchant for whiny introspection, it's a Herculean challenge to take this character seriously — particularly because he takes himself too seriously.
The Scarlet Spider joins Miguel O'Hara and Jessica Drew during the film's third act as they search for Miles Morales on Earth-1610. Unfortunately, his peculiar mannerisms and profound lack of awareness quickly become his undoing: Spider-Gwen makes short work of him, tricking him into getting sucked into her bootleg portal while separating him from his dimension-crossing device. At this point, it's anyone's guess if he'll show up in the next film — and if he'll be more than just a walking stereotype played for laughs.
Margo Kess, Spider-Byte
When Miles Morales first steps into the Spider Society HQ, he meets a mind-blowing array of Spider-characters with different abilities. Still, this doesn't stop the excited youth from introducing himself as "Spider-Man" to the cyberspace Spider-hero called Spider-Byte (Amandla Stenberg) — to which she sarcastically deadpans, "Whoa, no waaaay ... all of us are."
In "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," Margo's digital avatar acts as the gatekeeper of sorts for the Spider Society. Operating from the control room, one of Spider-Byte's responsibilities is to send the multiverse-crossing supervillains the Society detains back to their respective dimensions. As the resident arachnid-themed avenger of Earth-22191, this version of Margo Kess could just as easily be another virtual extension of her comic book counterpart (who first appeared in 2018's "Vault of Spiders" #1).
After successfully eluding the entire Spider Society, Miles uses his ability to turn invisible to evade Margo's gaze and sneaks into the teleporter in an attempt to send himself back to Earth-1610. However, because the teleporter selects where to send its passenger based on the origin of their powers, it mistakenly sends Miles to Earth-42, the home dimension of the spider that bit him. Crucially, Margo gets an opportunity to reboot the system and prevent Miles from escaping, but opts not to do anything; instead, she just lets him be beamed out of their HQ. Thus, it's no surprise when she shows up as a member of Spider-Gwen's newly formed rogue faction in the film's final scenes.
Peter B. Parker, Spider-Man (and Mayday Parker)
Of course, it wouldn't be a proper "Spider-Verse" movie without everyone's favorite easygoing Spider-sensei, Peter B. Parker. This time around, it looks like the old, tired Spider-Man of Earth-616 (or as Spider-Punk calls him, "Humbling Reality Spider-Man") has managed to finally pick himself up and get his act together. He has also traded his homeless, dimension-displaced get-up from "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" for a proper set of threads — specifically, a baby-wearing jacket. In other words, the dadbod Spider-Man has become an actual dad.
Upon his return to his own dimension, Peter reconciles with Mary Jane Watson (Zoë Kravitz). Their rekindled love results in the birth of their daughter, Mayday, who has inherited her father's amazing spider powers. Ever the devoted parent, Peter made her a web-shooting bracelet (a perfect complement to her crocheted Spider-bonnet). As it turns out, Peter's adventure with Miles Morales in the previous film helped him get over his fear of becoming a parent. He even admits as much to his protégé during their brief but heated conversation after Miles breaks out of the Spider Society HQ.
After Miles escapes, Peter returns to his homeworld, setting Mayday in her crib and halfheartedly denying to MJ that he "brought [their] baby to another fight." However, this quiet night in the Parker household comes to an end when Spider-Gwen pops up in Peter's backyard via her bootlegged dimension-hopping device. As expected, Peter decides to join Gwen in her search for Miles, too.
Animated Spider-Men
When the first trailer for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" was released, eagle-eyed longtime Spider-fans immediately spotted a familiar, albeit largely forgotten, version of the webslinger mixed in with the rest of the Spider Society: the Peter Parker of Earth-751263, otherwise known as Spider-Man Unlimited from the eponymous 1999 cartoon. (Conspicuously absent, though, is the '90s animated Spider-Man from Earth-92131.) Still, this small detail got many fans excited, as it pretty much confirmed the likelihood of other, more popular animated Spider-Men showing up in "Across the Spider-Verse" as well.
True enough, subsequent promotional materials revealed that the Spider-Man of the fan-favorite "Spectacular Spider-Man" animated series from 2008 (designated as Earth-26496) is also part of the movie. While Unlimited didn't really get to do anything significant during the film's runtime, Spectacular gets two moments to shine. Aside from a scene during Miguel O'Hara's Arachno-Humanoid Poly-Multiverse explainer depicting Spectacular's version of the ASM-90 canon event, voice actor Josh Keaton briefly reprises his role with a one-liner meant to dissuade Miles from preventing Earth-1610's canon event — the death of his father, the recently promoted Captain Jeff Davis.
One not-so-surprising (but no less delightful) inclusion is the Spider-Man from Earth-67 (yes, the Spider-Man from that pointing meme). Voiced by Jorma Taccone in the now-iconic post-credits scene from "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," the '67 Spider-Man joins the Society in pursuing Miles, bravely announcing his arrival before demonstrating his signature ineffectiveness by swinging way too slow to catch the renegade Spider.
The MCU trio
It's safe to say that one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds about "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" was "Will Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland be part of this movie?" After all, we recently witnessed the live-action Spider-trio make cinematic history in 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home," so it would make sense for them to be in another multiverse-spanning Spider-flick, right? Well, the answer is yes ... sort of.
Both Maguire (the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man of Earth-96283) and Garfield (the Amazing Spider-Man of Earth-120703) play small but significant roles in "Across the Spider-Verse," made possible by archival footage. When Miguel O'Hara explains to Miles Morales that every Spider-Man must lose someone close to them, the scene focuses on a few seconds of the death of Capt. George Stacy (Dennis O'Leary) from 2012's "The Amazing Spider-Man." Moments later, the death of Uncle Ben — arguably the canon event of canon events for most versions of Spider-Man — becomes the focus of the discussion; in the background, we see snippets of Maguire and Cliff Robertson's Ben Parker, as the latter dies in 2002's "Spider-Man."
Meanwhile, Holland's Spider-Man doesn't appear at all, although he does get mentioned in the first few minutes of "Across the Spider-Verse" when Miguel references an incident involving "Doctor Strange and the little nerd back on Earth-199999" — the Marvel Cinematic Universe's official Earth designation.
Spider-Man 2211
While many of the members of the Spider Society in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" can easily be described as Spider-Man variants based on their costumes, there are a handful with distinct visual elements that make them stand out from the Spider-crowd. Undoubtedly, one of them is Max Borne, the Spider-Man of 2211, who hails from the comic book world of Earth-9500. This futuristic Spider-Man takes the arachnid aesthetic to a whole new level: Aside from his multi-eyed helmet, he also sports four red appendages (a la Doc Ock, but with human hands) protruding from what looks like a metallic backpack.
In "Across the Spider-Verse," Spider-Man 2211 briefly steals the show near the beginning of Miles Morales' extended chase sequence, when the teenager hilariously clings to Borne's crimson carapace in a feeble attempt to hide from the rest of the Society. This also causes the Society to mistake Borne for Miles for a few seconds, emphasizing how the group has become so large that they don't even know one another's names.
Interestingly enough, Spider-Man 2211's first appearance was in a comic book that featured two different versions of the webslinger meeting: the 1995 one-shot "Spider-Man 2099 Meets Spider-Man" #1. Additionally, similar to his role in this film, Spider-Man 2211's job in that comic is to help preserve the integrity of the timeline: He appears in the nick of time to save Peter Parker and Miguel O'Hara from being erased from existence via the "retcon bombs" of the Hobgoblin of 2211.
Spider-Zoo
As part of the marketing efforts for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," the official @SpiderVerse Twitter account released a clip welcoming audiences to the "Spider-Zoo." Indeed, there's a mini-menagerie of Spider-powered animals who somehow qualified for Spider Society membership.
Among the first we meet is Widow (nicknamed "Spider-Horse"), the trusty masked steed of the Web-Slinger (Patrick O'Hara, the cowboy Spider-Man of Earth-31913). There's also Spider-Cat, a character originally from 2011's "Spider-Island: I Love New York City" #1, who throws a web-hairball in Miles Morales' face. Spider-Monkey from the Marvel Apes dimension (designated as Earth-8101) also appears a few times in the extended chase sequence, though the spider-powered simian's agility does little good in helping the Society apprehend Miles. We also see Spider-Wolf, who Miles easily deals with via a hat to the face; at least two versions of this character exist in the comics, but the one in "Across the Spider-Verse" is decidedly more lupine than either iteration.
The most attention-grabbing Spider-creature here, however, is Spider-Rex, a Tyrannosaurus rex in a Spider-Man costume (complete with web-shooters around its tiny wrists). A recent comics creation that debuted in 2022's "Edge of Spider-Verse" #1, Pter Ptarker was originally a Pteranodon simultaneously bitten by a T. rex and smashed by a meteorite with alien spider stowaways. A "Freaky Friday" situation ensues, with Ptarker now inhabiting the T. rex's body, inexplicably clad in a spider-themed suit. In the immortal words of Spider-Ham from "Into the Spider-Verse": "It CAN get weirder!"
The ITSV Spiders
In an interview with Screen Rant in January 2023, Nicolas Cage revealed that Sony did not reach out to him to reprise his role as Spider-Man Noir (Peter Parker of Earth-90214) from "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." Combined with the absence of confirmation from his "Into the Spider-Verse" co-stars Kimiko Glenn (who voiced Peni Parker of Earth-14512) and John Mulaney (who portrayed Earth-8311's Spider-Ham), this effectively dashed everyone's hopes that the secondary Spider-trio from the previous film would appear in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." As it turns out, however, the multiversal pals of Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Peter B. Parker do pop up unexpectedly — and it looks like they'll play even bigger roles in the next film, "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse."
The first of the three to appear in "Across the Spider-Verse" is Peni, who is seen piloting an upgraded, more streamlined version of her companion spider's robotic SP//dr costume (after the original was destroyed in the previous movie's final battle). This new mechanical suit closely resembles its comic book counterpart (as seen in 2014's "Edge of Spider-Verse" #5). As for Spider-Ham and Spider-Man Noir, the two show up alongside Peni, Peter B. Parker, Spider-Punk, Pavitr Prahabkar, and Spider-Byte at the end of the film as members of Spider-Gwen's splinter Spider-squad, to help her outmaneuver Miguel O'Hara's Spider Society and find Miles first. While their appearance is a pleasant surprise, it certainly makes sense, given their friendship with Miles in "Into the Spider-Verse."
The Spider Society
Miguel O'Hara's Spider Society spans the entirety of the Arachno-Humanoid Poly-Multiverse (or as Miles Morales calls it, just the "Spider-Verse"), and features both existing characters (like Sun-Spider, a fan creation from Marvel's 2019 Spidersona contest) and original heroes created for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."
A good number of the Spider Society members draw design inspiration from established Spider-folks but aren't 100% accurate to their multimedia counterparts. For example, one character looks like Arachnido Jr., while a few are wearing different versions of Earth-616 Spider-Man's various Spider-Armors. One Society member resembles Spider-Man's brutal clone, Spidercide; others draw inspiration from characters like Ai Apaec and Julia Carpenter's Spider-Woman. Some fans even reportedly spotted Takuya Yamashiro, Toei's live-action Spider-Man, in the mix. We also see Spinneret and Spiderling (aka Mary Jane Watson-Parker and Annie Parker from Earth-18119), Mangaverse Spider-Man from Earth-2301, and a version of the Bombastic Bagman (basically Peter with a paper bag over his head). Curiously, the Spider-Man from the Insomniac game universe (Earth-1048) appears not once, but twice: one wearing his PS4 Advanced Suit, and the other rocking the suit from "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" for the PS5. And as expected, many of these characters don't really do anything significant in the film.
Meanwhile, the Spider-variants created for "Across the Spider-Verse" include Malala Windsor (Spider-UK of Earth-835), Cyborg Spider-Woman (who even received her own collector action figure in the Marvel Legends toyline), and the Spidersona of Metro Boomin (who worked on the "Across the Spider-Verse" soundtrack).
