- Since writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko
created "Spider-Man" in 1962
there have been countless incarnations
of the character and 2018's awesomely animated
'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' introduced
us to just a handful,
- My name is Peter Parker
- My name is Peni Parker
- My name is Peter Porker
- Uh, okay, on this "IMDbrief"
let's look at the newest Spider-Man
to join the Spider-Verse and what other versions
of the arachnid adventure we'd like to see spin some webs.
Recently news broke that 'Into the Spider-Verse Two'
would swing into theaters in the spring of 2022,
shortly after the announcement producer Phil Lord
took Twitter to reveal a fan favorite version
of Spider-Man has already been designed for the film.
- Oh hey, didn't see you there
(snaps)
- And we certainly didn't see this coming,
because this version of Peter Parker,
named Takuya Yamashiro isn't from the comics
but from a live action Japanese TV show
from the late 70s called "Supaidaman,"
(Speaking in Japanese)
- This incarnation of the web head wasn't bitten
by a radioactive spider but instead got his powers
from a UFO known as the Marvelier,
which Spidey can turn into a giant robot
with the help of his oversized bracelet thingy.
He also drives a really boss car,
and has a theme song about shaking his bum.
(car revving)
(theme song)
Oh and in case you were wondering,
his arch enemy is named Professor Monster
(Speaking in Japanese)
While the inclusion of this wild and weird Spider-Man
into the upcoming 'Spider-Verse' film is awesome news,
we are hoping to get even more Spider characters,
with a few specifics in mind.
Back in 2003, the uber talented author Neil Gaiman
created a limited comic series titled "Marvel 1602,"
where super heroes were born hundreds of years
in the past and included historical versions
of Dr. Strange, the X-men, and you guessed it, Spider-Man
- Go Spider-Man, Okay Spider-Man
- But in 1602 he is known as the Spider,
who works for Sir Nicholas Fury and had all the
powers and abilities of the Spidey we know and love,
with an even cooler costume.
If he pops up in the new film, he would be the perfect
teammate for the futuristic Spider-Man 2099,
who was introduced in a post credit scene
of 'Into the Spider-Verse.'
- Let's start at the beginning one last time
- Another web head could come from the mind of
comic author Dan Slott,
who holds the record for the most "Spider-Man" comics ever,
creating countless Spider spin-offs including
2014's "Silk," also known as Cindy Moon.
She was bitten by the same radio active spider
as Peter Parker only moments after him.
(dramatic music)
(blood pumping)
Moon has all the same abilities
the friendly neighborhood superhero does and then some,
like the power to organically spin webs from her fingertips
the character could be a great expansion to the universe
of Jake Johnson's Spider-Man from the first film,
as she comes from the same world.
- We're a little team
- Me as the teacher who can still do it,
you as the student who can do it, just not as good.
- That's high praise coming from you Spidey,
and speaking of praise,
Cosmic Spider-Man deserves all of it,
because he is the most powerful Spider-Man of all time.
This power comes from the enigma force,
a sentient energy that seeks out and bonds
with a host giving them the power
to do pretty much anything.
- It's clear to me that you were not ready for this.
- This take on the web head first appeared
in 1989's "The Spectacular Spider-Man" Number 158,
and was expanded on in Dan Slott's 2015 mini-series,
aptly titled "Spider-Verse."
And he could fit perfectly into the new film
as the Spidey gang will need all the power
they can get to save the multi-verse once again.
- This could literally not get any weirder
- It can get weirder
