10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Spider-Man You Won't Believe Exist
6. Spider-Punk
Ever found your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man to be a bit too friendly with big-business? Wish he'd lead a revolution to the beats of one of the seventies' most beloved music genres? Well you're in luck, because Spider-Punk ticks all the boxes any Spider-Radical could possibly have.
Set in Earth-138 where Norman Osborn has risen to the highest office in all the land - the Presidency of the United States - this particular incarnation of the web-slinger isn't actually Peter Parker, but instead Hobart Brown. In the main 616 continuity, Brown was, of course, the vigilante known as the Prowler. The red and blue of the spider-suit suits him well though, as Brown takes to the streets with a guitar and his favourite denim jacket to lead a revolt against a corrupt government in true punk-fashion.
Timely, beautifully drawn and with a wonderful premise, this particular incarnation of Spider-Man is as bizarre as it is bedazzling, showcasing Brown as he leads his own Spider Army against a tyrant Osborn.
Fans of this particular wall-crawler will also be happy to know that it'll appear in Insomniac's upcoming Spider-Man game, so there's that too.
