** It's unknown if the Carnage symbiote is the same exact one from the main Spider-Man's universe or another universe's Carnage. If the symbiote is from the main universe, does Spider-Carnage retain the memories of it's previous user Kasady, and know about the main Spider-Man? But due to how short the finale was and the fact Spider-Carnage is crazy, it's never known.

dewicking Cloning Blues, moved to Clone Angs

The creation of his {{clon|ingBlues}}e, Ben Reilly, only worsened his mental stability, and the revelation that he, and not Ben, might be the clone drove him almost completely over the edge, leading to an attempt on the latter's life.

Driven out of his mind, Spider-Carnage combines the Spot's portal technology with a disintegration bomb that will [[OmnicidalManiac destroy not only his own world, and not only the Universe, but the]] ''[[OmnicidalManiac totality of the multiverse]]''.

Like the main universe Spider-Man, the Spider-Man of Earth-39811 suffered from a mutation that gave him four his extra arms. Instead of trying to undo the mutation he decided on giving them web shooters. However, when he joined the Spider-Men he mutated further into the Man-Spider beast, attacking the others. He was returned to his own dimension and as such unable to help the others any further.

* FreudianExcuse: Have you read this entry? He has ''several'': his parents dying, his ''substitute'' parents dying, spider power alienating himself, identity issues due to the cloning thing, the ''symbiote''.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Take one unstable kid. Give him Spider-Man's powers. Throw in the Carnage symbiote for good measure. Run.
* GigglingVillain: His high-pitched nervous laugh is horrifically disturbing.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He is the "horror beyond belief" that Madame Web occasionally alludes to when she begins mentoring and training the regular Spider-Man in Season 3. Spidey doesn't have the slightest idea who or what that is until the penultimate episode of the series, but all the advice from Madame Web and the Secret Wars test were to prepare him for this guy.
* HeroicSacrifice: He undergoes a HeelRealization, comes to the conclusion that he cannot fight the symbiote off, and rather than letting it take control of him again, decides that suicide is the best option, and disintegrates himself by leaping into an unstable vortex.
* TheHyena: His laugh.
* LargeHam: Are you surprised?
* TheMentallyDisturbed: Suffers from self-loathing, misplaced envy, and suicidal depression, coupled with aggression issues and a need to lash out at the world. It isn't pretty and is played entirely for tragedy.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Not surprising considering the fact that he is bonded to a version of the Carnage Symbiote.
* MotiveRant: Gets a pretty epic one near the end.

** Unbelievably near. Only an intervention from an alternate universe Uncle Ben stops him.

* ShapeshifterWeapon: Like the original Carnage, he's able to morph his symbiote into a wide variety of weaponry, including extendable claws, CombatTentacles, axes, and a shield.
* SpotTheImpostor: According to Gwen Stacy this was easy. "He's nutty as a fruitcake."

* GigglingVillain: His high-pitched nervous laugh is horrifically disturbing.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He is the "horror beyond belief" that Madame Web occasionally alludes to when she begins mentoring and training the regular Spider-Man in Season 3. Spidey doesn't have the slightest idea who or what that is until the penultimate episode of the series, but all the advice from Madame Web and the Secret Wars test were to prepare him for this guy.
* HeroicSacrifice: He undergoes a HeelRealization, comes to the conclusion that he cannot fight the symbiote off, and rather than letting it take control of him again, decides that suicide is the best option, and disintegrates himself by leaping into an unstable vortex.
* TheHyena: His laugh.
* LargeHam: Are you surprised?
* TheMentallyDisturbed: Suffers from self-loathing, misplaced envy, and suicidal depression, coupled with aggression issues and a need to lash out at the world. It isn't pretty and is played entirely for tragedy.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Not surprising considering the fact that he is bonded to a version of the Carnage Symbiote.
* MotiveRant: Gets a pretty epic one near the end.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/armorspidey.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes

->''"In my world I'm a multi-billionaire. Aren't you?"''

The Spider-Man of Earth-31198 which is a world where Uncle Ben didn't die, the public accepts him, J. Jonah Jameson is his godfather, and he's a multi-billionaire. Also a raging ego trip.
----
* TheAce: A wealthy, well-respected superhero with high tech weapons. He's dating Gwen Stacy and Jameson likes him. Naturally, he has the confidence to match (read: insufferable).
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: While other Peters usually have to deal with a lot of emotional baggage (with one of them even falling into desperation and becoming a supervillain) and try to keep a low profile in order to preserve their SecretIdentity, this Spider-Man never experienced a significant loss in his life and achieved fame among the public (with even ''J. Jonah Jameson'' admiring him!), becoming a multi-billionaire and a hi-tech magnate in his world. Of course, all of this comes at price of [[{{Pride}} overly high self-confidence]], which proves to be his downfall during his mission in the Spider-Carnage world.
* BornLucky: One suspects he got all of the other Spider-Men's luck, especially Scarlet-Spider and Spider-Carnage's.
* CompositeCharacter: He's loosely based on a version of Spider-Man from ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' vol. 1 #19, who also [[spoiler:didn't lose his Uncle Ben]], ended up becoming a multi-billionaire, has a public superhero identity, and has a massive ego problem, but he fights crime in PoweredArmor, which combined with his wealth and arrogance makes him very similar to ComicBOok/IronMan, leading to his nickname "Iron Spider-Man".
* {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]].
* FatalFlaw: His ego leads him to being defeated.
* {{Foil}}: He contrasts Spider-Carnage the most out of all the Spider-Men. While he is TheAce who was BornLucky and has never failed, therefore leading him to become arrogant and overconfident, Spider-Carnage was BornUnlucky and suffered failure after failure as well as a tragic case of CloningBlues that led him to becoming a supervillain. Iron Spider-Man also uses advanced technology he invented using his incredible wealth, while Spider-Carnage uses an alien symbiote to make himself more powerful.
* ForWantOfANail: He's what would've happened if Peter had never had his ego deflated after gaining his powers. Which itself leads to a EurekaMoment for regular Spider-Man, as he realizes [[spoiler:this probably means his Uncle Ben is still alive.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Everything has always gone his way. Of course he's a jackass. Our Spider-Man lampshades this.
* HiddenDepths: As much of an ass he is, even with Uncle Ben still alive, and everything going his way, he's ''still'' a superhero. The Uncle Ben bit is notable because our Pete had to be spurred on by his death to actually start his superhero career. Also, it's heavily implied he and Gwen Stacy are very much in love with each other, since the latter immediately figured that our Pete and Spider-Carnage respectively weren't her boyfriend.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He has Kingpin, of all people, as his lawyer.
* HumongousMecha: Owns a giant-spider robot.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's completely insensitive, acts like he's God's gift to the world, and has no regard for his teammates' lives. Most of this stems from never having lost before.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Whatever else you might say about him, he's still a superhero, is still dedicated to doing the right thing, and honestly seems to care about his world and his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.
* LethallyStupid: Everything has always worked out for him, which makes him highly reckless during the attack on Kingpin's base.
-->'''Prime Spider-Man:''' That foolhardy nut! It's as if he doesn't even ''consider'' failure!
* MrViceGuy: He's a hero who also happens to be a bit of a narcissistic jerk.
* MythologyGag: On multiple levels:
** His basic concept homages a version of Spider-Man from ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' vol. 1 #19.
** The PoweredArmor he wears is styled after a special bullet-proof armored costume that Spidey used to defeat villains called the New Enforcers in "Web of Spider-Man" issue #100.
** He has a voice-commanded HumongousMecha styled after himself, which homages the [[Series/SpiderManJapan 1978 Japanese]] {{toku}} series, where Spider-Man piloted a HumongousMecha named Leopardon.
* PoweredArmor: After becoming a billionaire, he left his old costume and acquired a powered armor similar to those of Iron Man.
* {{Pride}}: The Armored Spider-Man is very arrogant, loves to brag about his achievements in his world and doesn't believe that he can experience a failure. His overconfidence and disregard for his companions ends up making him [[FriendlyFire hit]] the Octopus Spider-Man along with the Hobgoblin with a gas missile and his rash behavior during the fight with the Green Goblin leads to him being paralyzed, leaving him out of the game.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes, Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} (as Man-Spider, uncredited)

->''"I'm having a little mutation problem right now."''

Like the main universe Spider-Man, the Spider-Man of Earth-39811 suffered from a mutation that gave him four his extra arms. Instead of trying to undo the mutation he decided on giving them web shooters. However, when he joined the Spider-Men he mutated further into the Man-Spider beast, attacking the others. He was returned to his own dimension and as such unable to help the others any further.
----
* {{Animorphism}}: Par the course, part-man part-spider.
* TheBigGuy: He's this for TheTeam, thanks to his extra arms and extra web shooters.
* HopeSpot: He's about to take down Spider-Carnage with some sonic grenades, but then his mutation disease flares up.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Like his main universe counterpart, he eventually turns into the Man-Spider. He already had the extra limbs by the time Spidey met him.
* MultiarmedAndDangerous: He has four arms because of his mutation problem.
* MythologyGag: Besides being a CallBack to Spider-Man's mutation issue and trnsformation into Man-Spider in season 2, he also references ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' volume 2, issue #42, which presents a universe were Spidey never cured himself of his six arms, but instead embraced them and became a fighter for mutant rights.
* OutsideContextProblem: His Man-Spider mutation takes Scarlet Spider completely by surprise. Evidently, the Spider-Man of this world never experienced the Neogenic Nightmare that our Spider-Man did.
* PainfulTransformation: His transformation into Man-Spider is pretty agonizing for him.
* SuperStrength: Once he fully transforms into the Man-Spider Beast his strength increases ten fold.
* UnstoppableRage: Once he's fully transformed, he goes into a rage and attacks all around him.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He is last seen in his Man-Spider form, being teleported away by the Beyonder. What became of him after is unknown.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes

->''"Don't let these (''mechanical arms'') worry you, Pete, they're just a little souvenir from my last fight with Doc Ock."''

The Spider-Man of Earth-11983 defeated his universe's Doctor Octopus and took his arms. He also built a visor so that he could control the arms.
----
* TheCameo: This character, or at least a version of him, can be seen in the background of a panel in the ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' comic. He's actually the only one of the alternate Spider-Men to appear in the comic, as the write Dan Slott had considered having the team appear but decided that Six Armed Spider-Man and Iron Spider-Man would cause confusion as similar versions were shown to have been killed previously.
* CombatPragmatist: Not above stealing his enemies' tech, as Doc Ock would no doubt attest.
* CombatTentacles: He wields a wearable harness that sports four tentacle-like mechanical limbs, whih he explains was stolen from Doc Ock.
* CoolShades: Sports a large, tinted-glass visor as part of the control mechanism for his cyber-harness.
* GadgeteerGenius: Must be in order to get those mechanical arms to work.
* MultiarmedAndDangerous: Like Six-Armed Spider-Man, he possesses multiple limbs, although he uses a cybernetic harness outfitted with CombatTentacles stolen from Doctor Octopus rather than having mutated his own extra arms.
* MythologyGag: He is actually based on a 4-issue mini-series called "Funeral for an Octopus", which spun off of "The Spectacular Spider-Man", Volume #1, Issue #221, during the Clone Saga. During this arc, Spider-Man temporarily gains control of Doctor Octopus' last set of tentacles after the Doctor is killed, only to have to destroy them when the control unit was blasted and they went berserk.
* OutOfFocus: Compared to the other Spider-Men he got the least amount of screen time.
* TentacleRope: One of his primary tactics is to grapple and ensnare victims with his CombatTentacles.
* WeAreTeamCannonFodder: He's the first of Team Spider-Men to fall before being rescued by the Beyonder, though in all fairness it was Iron Spider-Man's fault.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes

->''"I'm the actor who plays you on T.V."''

This Spider-Man is a completely powerless mundane human from Earth-38119, and as such has no powers of his own. In his world Spider-Man is a creation of Creator/StanLee and this man is simply an actor who plays Spider-Man. Though the other Spider-Men asked him to stay behind, he was later able to help stop the destruction of the multiverse.
----

%%* AlmightyJanitor
* BadassNormal: He is the only Spider-Man to lack any sort of power and yet he was still recruited for TheTeam that is trying to save the universe from supernatural evil.
* TheEveryman: The most normal member of the Spider-Men team, what with being an actor and all.
* TheFaceless: He is never seen unmasked (possibly because he doesn't share Peter's face as the others do).
* GuileHero: He managed to fool both Spider-Carnage and Kingpin into believing he was the real Spider-Man, even if it was only for a few moments.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: While a bit overwhelmed at first, he never hesitated in offering to help his fellow Spider-Men. [[ChronicHeroSyndrome Which goes a long way into explaining why he was one of the chosen in the first place.]]
* NiceGuy: Very polite and soft-spoken for an actor.
* NoNameGiven: We never learn about his real name or who he is behind the mask of his Spider-Man costume.
* NonActionGuy: Due to his lack of Super Powers, [[YouFightLikeACow though being an actor still allows him to snark with the best of Spider-Men when he has too]].
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Justified since he's a normal person without power.
* TheTeamNormal: He's the only Spider-Man on the team without any superpowers.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes

->''"My name is Ben Reilly. I'm related to this reality's Peter Parker. I'm his clone - or maybe he's my clone. We're not sure."''

Coming from Earth-98311 he is a clone of his universe's Spider-Man (maybe) created by Doctor Miles Warren, and he eventually changed his name to Ben Reilly and pursued his own career as a superhero known as the Scarlet Spider.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Whether or not he's actually the clone is left in the air, though it's worth noting that in the comics while Ben was led to believe he was the original it was eventually revealed he was in fact a clone.
* CainAndAbel: Abel to Spider-Carnage's Cain.
* TheCameo: Before this show, he made a quick cameo in a season 2 episode of ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries''[[note]]which Marvel has clarified as taking place on a separate Earth[[/note]]. He also appeared in the ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' adaption of ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast', revealing that in that BadFuture to the main universe he would have eventually been created.
* ClonesArePeopleToo: Whether he is a clone or not, he doesn't have problems with acknowledging this fact and got used to his new identity as Ben Reilly.
* CloningBlues: He's honestly not sure which of them is the clone. He's coping a lot better than Spider-Carnage is though.
* DeadpanSnarker: All of the Spidey's are
* GoodCounterpart: To Spider-Carnage; they're genetically identical individuals with the exact same memories of trauma and suffering, but whereas Spider-Carnage became an OmnicidalManiac throwing a SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum, Scarlet Spider remained a hero dedicated to protecting others.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Being either a clone or even the real Peter Parker, the Scarlet Spider doesn't doesn't sport a natural blond haircut, but it still fits his kind nature.
* TheLancer: Acts as one to our Spider-Man throughout the arc.
* NiceGuy: The Scarlet Spider has a friendly and well mannered attitude, which is rather remarkable considering how his counterpart ended up under the same circumstances.
* TraumaCongaLine: Has been through the same hell that Spider-Carnage has. Although unlike Spider-Carnage, it didn't drive Ben insane.

->''"Ever since that spider bit me, the world has misunderstood me and tormented me. But now, it's ''my'' turn. I'm gonna obliterate you all!"''

The Spider-Man of Earth-98311, he lost both Aunt May and Uncle Ben at an early age. His rivalry with the Scarlet Spider (whom he believed to be his clone) only worsened his tenuous grip on reality, and the revelation that he himself might actually be the clone drove him into a homicidal rage. Following his subsequent possession by the Carnage symbiote he now actively seeks to end all life in the multiverse.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Whether he is really Peter Parker or a clone, though it's worth noting that in the comics while Peter at one point did believe he was the clone it was eventually revealed he was the original.
* ApocalypseHow: Class Z. Plans to combine portal technology with explosives to destroy not only Earth, not only the universe, but the totality of reality. When this plan fails he rants that he will destroy every universe in existence if he has to do it one dimension at a time.
* ArcVillain: Of the show's final two episodes.
* AxCrazy: He is badly, badly unhinged.
%%* BadassBookworm
* BetaTestBaddie: Whether he's the clone or not, Spider-Carnage clearly feels deeply insecure about his identity, which only contributes to his mental instability.
* BornUnlucky: More than just about any other Spider-Man ever. He not only suffered the same personal tragedies and bad publicity as most of his counterparts, but he also lost his Aunt May and was driven off the deep end by possibly being a clone.
* CainAndAbel: With all the Spider-Men, but especially Scarlet Spider.
* CloningBlues: Whether he's the clone or not, the simple fact that one exists has unbalanced his mind.
* CombatTentacles: He is capable of using parts of his symbiote as combat tentacles.
* CompositeCharacter: Spider-Carnage is created when the Carnage symbiote merges with an alternate universe version of Peter Parker, unlike in the comics, where Spider-Carnage was the result of a merger between the symbiote and Ben Reilly.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: The only Spider-Man with no sense of humor whatsoever.
* EvilKnockoff: How he views all the other Spider-Men. "And now, my ''dear'' clone..."
* EvilTwin: He's our Spider-Man with just a little more rotten luck and a bad case of CloningBlues. "I'm more you, than you'll ever admit!"
* FinalBoss: Of the series thanks to it being cancelled.
