10 More Spider-Man TV Shows That Could Join Silk On Amazon Prime

2. The Prowler

Those of you with a good memory will recall that Hobie Brown was actually introduced in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, and there were hints there that he had plans to become a vigilante after he was shown meeting with some of The Vulture's goons.

A brilliant inventor who was initially a criminal, The Prowler's run ins with Spider-Man ultimately set him on a more heroic path, and he used his knowledge and abilities to become a superhero. Marvel Comics has frequently put the spotlight on Hobie as a solo character - he even doubled for Spidey for a time - so there are plenty of stories Lord and Miller could pull ideas from.

If Sony Pictures can convince Donald Glover to reprise the role here, then this series already has all the makings of a hit, though there could be a slight conflict due to the actor reportedly being lined up to reprise the role of Lando Calrissian on Disney+.

Regardless, this is a character with a tonne of potential, especially if a TV show were to track him from being a two-bit crook to a bona fide superhero.
