10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Spider-Man You Won't Believe Exist

Funnily enough, the design for Spider-Punk was originally intended to be used by Spider-UK - a version of Peter Parker raised in the British Isles. What makes the character so interesting, however, is that he's actually an amalgamation of the Captain Britain and Spider-Man identities - hence the rather garish webbed Union flag on the character's chest.

The character, who goes by the name of William Braddock in Earth-833, had a key part to play in the original Edge of Spider-Verse event from 2014. The novelty of seeing a British version of the web-slinger doesn't wear off either, with the character also being a member of the Captain Britain Corps - a collective that draws together all the alternate versions of Captain Britain (yes, there are that many) under one banner.

Braddock then goes on to form the Warriors of the Great Web - a super-team of Spider-Men and Spider-Women who respond to multiverse-threatening events. He's actually a really important character, and while Spider-Gwen is certainly the most noticeable of the recent additions to Spidey's alternate selves, Braddock's role should not be overlooked.
