8 Strangest Alternate Versions Of Spider-Man

The Exiles, commonly associated with the X-Men, are a sort of dimension-hopping superhero team that really likes messing around with alternate realities and timelines. They're no strangers to weird and outlandish versions of Marvel's superheroes, but one of their tales is a little darker than the norm.

In X-Men Unlimited #41, Wolverine, Blink, and Nocturne track down a rather unfortunate young man called Peter Parker, who lives with his Uncle Ben. However, unlike most that share the Parker name, Peter (who can't be older than ten years old, based off the artwork) witnessed his father kill his mother whilst he was sitting on her lap, before his father then turned the gun on himself.

As if this wasn't depressing enough, after being taken in by his Uncle Ben he is then subjected to regular beatings, and forced to live in the cellar with a freaky spider-monster.

After the monster kills his Uncle Ben, he is rescued by Wolverine and company only to watch them murder the monster; who he deems to be his only friend... and the monster also bites Peter, most likely laying eggs in his throat or something. All's well that ends well!
