Greetings nerdy list aficionados it’s Spider-Man time again, can’t stop won’t stop we’re
still looking at Strong spidey’s and now we’re on to part 3.
30 spider-men this is what happens when you’re a flagship character alternates alternates
everywhere.
Side-note some of you were quick to point out that Otto built up the company in Part
2 for the superior spider-man point.
You are right it had been awhile I trusted my memory too much which for some reason gave
Peter more credit than he deserved.
Thanks to all those who pointed it out nicely and a big shame for those who went full scorched
earth I guess she’s just never read a comic ever.
In fact she hates them, she just wants pictures, pictures of Spider-Man.
Yes I read the comments, I shouldn’t but I do.
For this part get ready for lots of clones I’m Sasha and lets get started.
Number 10 – Superior Octopus So this version of Doctor Octopus hails from after his time
as Spider-Man in the superior spider-man arc which obviously ended with Peter regaining
control of his body.
However Otto managed to transfer his consciousness over to a proto clone which was a duplicate
of Peter’s body not his own cause well I mean we’ve seen Peter and we’ve seen Otto.
If given the choice…
Now superior octopus is revitalized in Peter’s body with his own skill set modified armour
and a plan, a villainous plan.
Number 9 - Spider Doppleganger first appeared in Infinity War #1 in 1992 by Magus this clone
was created with the power of the infinity gauntlet and was the only one to survive this
storyline cause he’s a spidey and writer’s love keeping those around.
The doppleganger boasting 6 arms and a more spidery countenance is not really driven by
anything so instead has found itself closely aligned with it’s “parents” carnage
and shriek so you know it’s up to no good.
This creature does not speak instead growling and hissing, while it is not clear by how
much it has been noted that this version of spider-man is stronger than him but it’s
strength limits are currently unknown.
Number 8 - Assassin Spider-Man.
This Spider-Man is you guessed it an assassin, first appearing in a What If Story -line What
If Spider-Man VS Wolverine.
Spider-Man was trained by Wolverine to be a cold blooded brutal killing machine.
This was as a result of the two having been on a black ops mission together where being
with Wolverine helped increase and hone his spider sense which gave him more confidence
a feeling he relished.
With a license to kill he modifies his web shooters to shoot bullets.
Assassin spider-man believes in putting a villain down once, for good!
As a result of his training with wolverine his spider sense is so developed that he has
developed a bit of precognitive ability to see the conclusions of fights before they
happen.
This version was killed in the into the spider-verse story arc.
Number 7 – Spider- Ameoba, this is a clone, I told you there would be clones, but a more
indirect one which is why it’s so far down.
This is not a clone of Peter let me explain.
Spider Ameoba was created by Carrion who was revealed to be a decaying clone of The Jackal.
As a result of the generation process going wrong his body had changed into a corpse a
fact he blamed on Spidey because he blamed Spider-Man for the Jackal’s death.
So in an attempt to destroy spider-man he set about making his own clone to take him
down.
This was a clone of student Randy Vale who had happened to stumble upon Carrion.
He cloned and combined blood from Peter Parker to get the spiderman DNA.
However it goes wrong and instead spider- amoeba is created a horrifying beast with
augmented spider-man powers and no thought just the need to fight.
As a result of it’s lack of intelligence it proves uncontrollable by Carrion and ultimately
dies with him in a fire.
Number 6 – Earth 13584, this Earth is a pocket reality created by AIM Aim being the
advanced idea mechanics otherwise known as international science terrorists.
They created this universe so that they cold alter key events so that they could go in
and get the technology they require.
In this universe as happens with many Spider-Men his mutation continued on and his skin has
turned blue and has developed a spider- language his webs have properties that can affect iron
man’s armour and repel doctor strange’s magic.
He also emits pheromones that repel certain people like the thing.
With his enhanced spider tendencies he takes hell’s kitchen on as his territory and makes
a hero gang out of heroes like daredevil iron fist, misty knight hawkeye and more.
This spider-man is much more animalistic and all the stronger for it with spider-man abilities
plus these additions he’s a formidable opponent especially the magical webbing that can affect
both tech and magic based heroes.
He is killed but sacrifices have to be made to make that happen.
Number 5 – Spider-Man The Other This was a spider-man crossover story that ran from
2005 to 2006 it was notable for being the first spider-man cross over since 2001 but
it would be far from the last as the spider verse was still on the horizon.
This crossover was an inter spider book crossover between friendly neighbourhood spider-man,
marvel knights spider-man and the amazing spider-man.
Spider-man in this story has been suffering from black outs dizzy spells and cryptic dreams,
a blood test confirms that he’s dying.
The cause a radiation based infectious disease as he attempts to find cure he ends up battling
Morlun who grotesquely eats his eye.
After another battle between the two spidey is seemingly dead however it turns out he
shed his body like a cocoon and his essence encounters the spider deity the great weaver
his soul is granted new powers night vision, the ability to sense vibrations, by embracing
the full spider elements of himself he is able to return to life with a new zeal also
Tony sets about making him a new suit of armour and that will come with new tech too.
It also raises the question is he just gonna keep evolving now like a chrysalis gross but
fascinating.
Number 4 – Spider Carnage this version taking us over to the spider-man animated series
from the 90s.
Which I have a huge soft spot for.
Some call it the first marvel interconnected universe because Spidey dealt with most of
the Marvel universe, the x-men, doctor strange, iron man and it even attempted a version of
the clone saga.
Which saw a bunch of alternate spider-men brought together by Madam Web to take on a
version of Spider-Man who’s gone insane after he was revealed to be a clone and that
Ben Reiley was the original.
A plot point that really happened in the comics and caused much contention.
In a rage the clone bonds with the carnage symbiote and sets out to destroy all realities.
So it’s up to a team of alternate spider-men to stop him.
So of course Spider-man plus carnage we all know the damage carnage can wreck plus he’s
aware of dimensions and able to manipulate and trick people into aiding his cause.
He nearly destroyed the multiverse, intense.
Number 3 – Zombie Spider-Man so if you follow this channel you’ve heard about marvel zombies
before.
The zombification of the marvel universe was a success that spawned a bunch of tie ins
and spin offs, and it was in these that Zombie spider-man’s pathos was explored he ate
mary jane and aunt may but he felt bad about it.
These zombies are intelligent but driven by a massive hunger.
They are augmented by the amount of damage they can take.
You know getting limbs ripped off, pieces missing, not really feeling pain as intensely.
In short the strength here comes from how hard they are to take down.
He is one of the heroes who partakes in the consumption of Galactus making him one of
the galactic having cosmic powers on top of Zombie powers.
Sounds pretty strong but he dies in Marvel Zombies Return so he gets to be 4.
Cause he loses those cosmic powers which is part of how he’s about to die in the first
place.
Number 2 Kaine parker, the jackal’s first successful attempt at cloning Peter Parker.
However success is a relative term the cloning process left him deformed and mentally unstable
so you have to wonder how bad were the other attempts well you don’t really have to wonder
the clone saga exists after all.
However paradoxically this augmented his powers on top of strength and speed he had a precognitive
ability and the mark of Kaine which he could channel through his hands to burn his victims.
Kaine proved himself an intelligent and dangerous adversary executing spidey villains though
they got better and getting peter tried for his crimes.
Since then Kaine has had a bit of a rollercoaster ride as a character including a redemption
arc that saw him take on the mantle of Scarlet spider for a bit then he became Kaine again.
Ok comics have this thing with progression, it rarely sticks.
His precog is less viable for now but he has advanced healing is an expert at hand to hand
combat, and targets to maim.
He could also transform into a giant spider the other when in the presence of the inheritors
and shoot spikes.
And finally at number 1 -Spider – X Brian Kornfield this character is a super villain
he initially thought he was a mutated version of spider-man though really he had been imbued
with the powers of spider-man through black magic via a deal he made to catch his mother’s
muggers.
However the dark magic twisted him into a brutal instrument for vengeance.
He instantly began killing, as you do.
He has since come into conflict with many marvel characters including spider-man when
he was first created he could tap into the magic of mysticism to achieve as many augmentations
and variation on spider-man’s powers as he so chose.
He was nigh invulnerable including against magical attacks he had razor sharp fans and
could shoot energy beams from his mouth.
He late made a deal with the demon Cthon which turned him into demon spider-man.
So many clones.
It’s always a treat to talk about Spidey the clone saga was a hot mess but some of
it still really holds up what’s your favourie spidey storyline clones or no clones let me
know down below.
