Welcome back, fellow nerds! I’m your host, Amanda McKnight. We have already listed a
lot of alternate versions of Spider-Man but it’s been awhile and guess what I have more
for you! If you love Spider-Man and you love us here at Top 10 Nerd, don’t forget to
give this video a thumbs up. Of all the Spider Totems in the Spider Verse, I wanna know who
your favourite is. I think mine is Miles Morales or Spider-Gwen. And you can let me know your
favourite in the comments below. I do read these comments and do my best respond to you
guys so don’t be shy. This is top 10 nerd and this is your top 10 alternate versions
of Spiderman, part 4.
10 2018 Spiderman video game. The Peter Parker
of earth 1 0 4 8 who appears in the Spider Geddon series as well as the 2018 Spider Man
PS4 video game, was originally introduced to us in the paperback story, Marvel’s Spiderman:
Hostile Takeover, a prelude to the video game’s Peter Parker. This Peter Parker’s backstory
is very similar to that of earth 6 1 6 but in this verse his MJ is actually an investigative
reporter and then two originally part ways because he is always so concerned for her
safety as a result of her career choice. In this verse, Norman Osborn is mayor of New
York. Villians we get to see Spidey fight up against include the Sinister Six and Mr
Negative. There is a lot of loss, tough choices and intrigue as there are in most spiderman
stories. And the story continues when Peter Parker is asked to travel to a different reality
by Superior Spider of earth 6 1 6 to help assemble a Superior Spider Army in an effort
to once again defeat the Inheritors. Miles Morales is also in this verse and also gets
spider abilities. Though encouraged to bring Miles along, Peter of earth 1 0 4 8 insists
Miles is too young and must remain to protect this world in case Peter is unable to return.
9 The Lizard. It seems that Gwen and Peterman’s
can transcend almost any universe. In the 2014 Edge of the Spider Verse issue 2, we
follow Gwen Stacey as Spider Woman and see a flashback. Peter Parker is consistently
bullied at high school just like in earth 6 1 6 but in this universe he does not get
Spider powers, Gwen does. Gwen sticks up for him but Peter just can’t take it and it
drives him to create a serum which turns him into the lizard. In the flashback we also
he dies in Gwen’s arms telling her, he only did it because he wanted to be special like
her. As Parker’s body reverts back to normal in is death it is unfortunately Spider-Woman
who is blamed for his demise. It seems tragedy just follows these star-crossed lovers wherever
they go.
8 Bruce Banner as Spider-Man. This version of
Spiderman appears in the 2007 series Bullet Points and is also seen in the Spider-Verse.
In this retelling of Spider-Man’s tale, Peter Parker is the one who is transformed
in the Hulk, affected by the radiation from the Gamma Bomb which Banner helped to create.
Feeling guilty, Banner experiments with a radioactive spider that survived the blast
and is bitten. His DNA is affected as a result and although the transformation is not as
easy for Banner as he is a grown man, he eventually joins SHIELD as this universes Spider-Man.
8 Captain Spider. This version of Spiderman
almost exists in two realities… This version came about as part of the What If series.
In the 1977 series, issue 7 the question was posed of what someone besides Spider-Man had
been bitten by the spider. The answer was Flash Thompson attends the same exhibit that
Peter Parker does as when he is bitten but Flash is the one who is bitten by the radioactive
spider instead. Flash discovers his super strength and figures he’ll try his luck
at accepting a wrestler’s challenge of lasting long enough in the ring with him in an attempt
to win one hundred dollars. Which was a lot of money… in the 70s. Unfortunately Flash
does not know his own strength and accidentally kills the wrestler. Unmasked, Thompson is
now wanted by the police and he disguises himself as a masked vigilante Captain Spider
in order to avoid the police. Also deciding to fight crime in an attempt to alleviate
his guilty conscious. Later in the comic, he plummets to his death after the Vulture
drops him from up high. But don’t worry, he later appears in 2014’s the Amazing Spider
Man, Spider Verse story. And then promptly dies again.
6 Spider-UK. William Braddock is from earth
8 3 3. He originally notices the death of Spider Totems in other verses as caused by
Morlun of the Inheritors. He possesses a talisman that enables him to travel through multi-verses
and uses it to recruit other Spider Totems from different verses to take down the Inheritors.
After the events of Spider Verse and the defeat of the Inheritors, William Braddock decides
to stay at the former base of the Inheritors and recruit other Totems to join him as Warriors
of the Great Web. This group is comprised of Spider Totems who travel around and protect
universes whose totems are no longer alive. Unfortunately William Braddock meets his demise
at the hands of Verna when the Inheritors return in Spider Geddon.
5 Captain Universe. Also known as Comsic Spidey.
This imagining of Spider Man never lost the Engima Force following the events of the 1963’s
Amazing Spider-Man, issue 329. The Enigma Force is a power that comes from the microverse
and exists to protect the microverse. It is a force derived from life energy. It grants
those that possess its power and understanding of the universe on a subatomic level. As such
the possessor the can manipulate molecules and matter to a certain extent. While this
power does not make the Peter Parker of earth 13 omnipotent, it certainly does make him
appear god-like. He can even fly. Captain Universe being so powerful provides protection
to those Spider Totems who seek it out. Unfortunately he cannot leave his own universe to assist
in defeating the Inheritors as he would lose the Enigma Force but his power is such that
he most Inheritors are too afraid to face him. Until he encounters Solus, father of
the Inheritors, who despite Captain Universe’s power is able to drain him of the great life
energy of the Enigma Force that so scares the others, effectively killing Captain Universe.
4 Prince of Arachne. This alternate of Peter
Parker makes me laugh. We get to see this version featured in the series Spider-Man
Fairy Tales, issue 4 from 2007. The series follows the reimagining of Peter’s story
in four one short traditional retellings. Each single issue is amazing in it’s own
right. However the issue we are talking about today is issue 4 of the series which follows
a Cinderella story version of the hero with Norman as his evil step-father, Harry as his
evil stepbrother and Mary Jane as a maid who helps Peter to disguise himself as a knight
to try and win the heart of Princess Gwendolyn. I mean, c’mon. You have to read this.
3 Lady Spider. What did you say? A steampunk
female version of Spider Man out of the late 1800s? Hold. Your. Horses. We first meet May
Reilly, aka Lady Spider in the 2014 Spider-Verse issue #1. And I gotta tell you it was love
at first sight for me. May Reilly is bitten by her father’s pet spider after freeing
it from it’s cage where it lived in his study. She claims the spider taught her to
let no one cage you, and it is this experience that inspires her to take the mantle of Lady
Spider and break free of the gender stereotypes of the time. An educated woman, she builds
her own Spider suit out of used automobile parts and sets about town taking down alternate
steampunk versions of Spider-Man villians, namely Electro, Kraven the Hunter and Green
Goblin among others.
2 Spider-Punk. Also known as Hobert Brown, this
Spider Man really rocks out. Hobert Brown is a punk rock anarchist from earth 1 3 8.
He has gone up against his verses President Norman Osborn, disabled Osborn’s V. E. N.
O. M technology with a bunch of amp and rock music, and is also part of the Spider Verse
story. He helped to fight the Inheritors but afterward decided to return to his own earth.
And when he is not busy saving the world, he is known to be playing concerts with his
rock band, the Spider-Slayers. 1
Spider-Woman. In earth 1 6 1 0, Jessica Drew is actually the clone of Peter Parker. She
was one of the clones Otto Octavius created while working for the FBI. When she came into
existence, she had all the memories of Peter Parker. She was told these memories would
be wiped and she would be employed by the CIA and FBI to do their bidding. Unfortunately
as the result of a clone uprising this was unable to happen and Jessica Drew was launched
into the world with Parker’s memories. She ended up helping Peter Parker to save MJ after
being accused of kidnapping Mary Jane herself. Jessica Drew adopts the mantle of Spider-Woman
and is seen in the comics as a member of the Ultimates working for Nick Fury and SHIELD.
After Parker dies she even befriends new Spiderman, Miles Morales. Jessica Drew is a neat and
complex character and if you don’t know too much about the earth 1 6 1 0 version of
her, I highly recommend checking out more of her character. One of my favourite series
that she appears in is the 2014 All New Ultimates.
