10 Characters That Deserve The 'Spider-Verse' Treatment

5. Superman

Batman Incorporated
DC Comics

Explaining why Superman would be such an apt candidate for a Spider-Verse story is quite simple really: he is basically only second to Spider-Man when it comes to alternate reality counterparts, meaning that having him join forces with different versions of himself is not an unrealistic possibility.

In fact, this idea was already flirted with by Grant Morrison in his classic All-Star Superman book, which saw a group of time-travelling Supermen team-up to assist a younger Clark Kent.

Furthermore, the Reign of the Supermen arc that followed the Death of Superman introduced a few twists on the Man of Steel's mythos all the way back in the nineties, meaning that some version the idea has been around for some time now.
