10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Spider-Man You Won't Believe Exist
8. Spider-Wolf
Marvel Comics
For the sake of making a lycanthropic Spider-Man even more confusing, Marvel decided to actually make two of them. There's the Peter Parker of Earth-13989, and the one of Earth-7085 (pictured above). Both - as you may have guessed already - are werewolves.
The idea of injecting another animal to the Spider-motif is bizarre enough, but the fact this was a trope the House of Ideas returned to on two separate occasions makes things even weirder. In any case, the Spider-Man of Earth-7085 exists in a realm where dozens of Marvel characters fell victim to the call of the moon, with the group having actually managed to kill Galactus too.
His abilities are also fairly self-evident, retaining the gifts imparted by the radioactive Spider, whilst also having all the bonuses of being a werewolf too.
The other werewolf only made one appearance in 2015's Amazing Spider-Man #11, and is killed off in that very same issue.
Still though, Spider-Wolf everyone! For when one animal gimmick just isn't enough.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
