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

3. What If? #19

Similar to the aforementioned entry, this incarnation of Spider-Man actually managed to save Uncle Ben from being killed, and it's one of the better What If? stories in Marvel's library too.

Titled 'What if Spider-Man Had Stopped The Burglar Who Killed His Uncle?', the story sees Peter become a celebrity of sorts, appearing on talkshows, promotions, and even movies. Spidey's celebrity gets so big that he eventually becomes the PR agent for the Fantastic Four, X-Men and Avengers, before buying Marvel Comics outright. He also attempts a rebrand of Daredevil's costume as his new agent, though the Man Without Fear remains unconvinced of the web-slinger's fashion-sense.

Of course, there's a catch to Peter's newfound stardom. He falls out with Uncle Ben and Aunt May, threatens J. Jonah Jameson in order to maintain his secret identity, and ends up being ruined by a feud with the media personality which eventually sees a whole different kind of Sinister Six team up in revenge.

At the very least, however, What If? #19 serves as one of the more unique alternate-reality Spidey stories, and one worth seeking out if you have the time.
