''Spider-Man Beyond'' is a 2021-2022 storyline in the ComicBook/SpiderMan series, succeeding Nick Spencer's tenure with the character, written by Zeb Wells, Kelly Thompson, Saladin Ahmed, Cody Ziglar, and Patrick Gleason, the latter also filling double duty as the artist alongside Sara Pichelli. The story starts in ''Amazing Spider-Man #75'', with a short story teasing the era beforehand in ''Free Comic Book Day 2021: Spider-Man/Venom''.

Following ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer'' and the events of ''ComicBook/SinisterWar'', Peter Parker is exhausted. However, he gains a new headache upon discovering that Ben Reilly, his clone and a fellow Spider called the ComicBook/ScarletSpider, has donned a new Spider-Man costume and is backed by the [[NGOSuperpower Beyond]] [[MegaCorp Corporation]], who has taken a liking to him recently.

Despite this, the two Spider-Men join forces... [[PutOnABus but their first team-up leaves Peter Parker seriously injured, putting him out of commission as a superhero for a while]]. Can Ben Reilly handle the mantle of Spider-Man again, after everything he's endured?

Followed by ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan2022''.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: To keep Ben under control, [[spoiler:Maxine erases some of his key memories, including the circumstances of Uncle's Ben death. When the Goblin Queen attacks, Maxine is horrified that Ben just runs off rather than fight her. Too late, Maxine realizes that maybe Ben isn't going to be much of a hero when he no longer remembers ''why'' he became a hero in the first place.]]

-->'''Goblin Queen'''[=/=][[spoiler:Dr. Kafka]]: For years, I listened as my whimpering patients cried over horrors long past. I'd often wonder how a parent could hurt a child. Be so cruel. But now, seeing the two of you cowering in front of me. Powerless. I get it.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Maxine Danger is many things, but a coward is not one of them. When cornered by Doc Ock, she outright refuses to beg on principle and precedes to mock him until Spider-Man arrives.

** Turns out Otto trademarked the name Spider-Man, so when Parker Industries is bought up, so is the name since Peter never transferred ownership to himself.
** Ben completely forgets Peter’s costume is a normal suit, thus Peter's given a dangerous amount of radiation when X-Ray blasts the two. It's also implied that [[ComicBook/SinisterWar Peter's injuries from the last few issues]] made this worse.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Morbius's system was "put in crisis"; Beyond stabilized it to make it easier to experiment on him. Doing so restored his rational mind, which he and others failed to do.

* PassingTheTorch: Hospitalized, Peter is forced to go ahead and give his blessing for Ben to be Spider-Man in his stead.
