What’s her deal?: Mayday “May” Parker was the Spider-Girl who was never supposed to live. Created by writer Tom DeFalco and artist Ron Frenz, she was intended initially for a What If…? one-shot in 1998, imagining the teenage adventures of the child of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. That story met with such unexpected success, however, that DeFalco and Frenz were caught off-guard by Marvel’s request to spin May off into an ongoing series.
What’s his deal?: He is Spider-Man, and also a cat. The typical pet of a coterie of gamers from Earth-999, Spider-Cat gained his powers through an encounter with one of the mystical Spider-Totems, in an untold tale that presumably makes as much sense as any other story involving the mystical Spider-Totems. Taking on the costume of his Earth-616 counterpart to fight crimes committed by small mammals and birds, he tragically went on the lose his life at the hands of the vampiric Morlun during the lead-up to Spider-Verse in 2014. What followed was a seemingly endless series of near-cancellations and fan campaigns to keep Spider-Girl alive, ultimately resulting in a series of May Parker books that ran (against all odds) until 2009. She has appeared in comics sporadically since then (almost invariably under the auspices of her original creative team), and retains the affection of her still-dedicated fandom.

Power-responsibility score: 5 Uncle Bens out of 10. Obnoxious monkey, but he went out a true spider. Lady Spider Image: Sony Pictures Looking at the fourth image, you’ll notice that the title card reads ‘Across the Spider-Verse: Part One’, instead of the updated ‘Across the Spider-Verse’. This leads me to conclude that the merch was most likely in the works before this year’s CinemaCon, where the title for Beyond the Spider-Verse was released.

What’s his deal?: A resident of the prehistoric world of Earth-66, wallflower T. rex Pter Ptarker had a chance encounter with a spider-filled meteorite, granting him wonderous spider-like powers. In an early battle against his nemesis Norrannosaurman, Ptarker accidentally allowed a tree branch to take the life of the villain, teaching him an important lesson about responsibility. Only recently introduced to comic book canon, Ptarker survived a trip to our reality and a near-death brush with our own Norman Osborn, and at present continues to fight crime as the toothiest of Spider-Men.

She’s new, but she’s got the right stuff. Spinneret (in the white and red costume)What’s her deal?: Across the Spider-Verse’s Jess Drew is an original creation, but she owes her name (and overall look) to comic book predecessor Jessica Drew, the original Spider-Woman. Created in 1976 in a rush to stop an animation studio from grabbing the trademark to the Spider-Woman name, comic book Jessica actually has no real relation to either Peter Parker or Miles Morales, having instead acquired her powers in a bewilderingly arcane origin involving HYDRA, her geneticist father, and possibly a talking cow. Spider-Verse’s Jess is thus a wholesale reinvention of the concept — though comics Jess did famously have a book in which she did superhero stuff while pregnant — that owes a certain debt to her elder counterpart.
