->''" Are you the '''One...''' Or are you the '''Other...'''"''
''The Other'' is a 2005 ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' storyline written by Creator/PeterDavid, Reginald Hudlin, and Creator/JMichaelStraczynski with art by Mike Deodato Jr., Pat Lee, and Mike Wieringo. It spans from ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan1999'' #525–528, ''Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man'' #1–4, and ''Marvel Knights Spider-Man'' #19–22.
Peter Parker must come to terms with whether or not he is the spider who dreamed of being a man, or the man who dreamed of being a spider.

!!''The Other'' provides examples of:
* AlmightyMom: Aunt May does this to Tony Stark and Reed Richards when they want Peter to take more tests instead of going out with Mary Jane. The two most brilliant men in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse are no match for Aunt May's stern reprimand.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: After being resurrected by the Other, Spider-Man has retractile stingers in his forearms.
* CombatCueStick: Mary-Jane uses a pool cue to fight off a LoonyFan who had been [[StalkerWithACrush stalking her]].
* EyeScream: Morlun plucks out one of Spidey's eyes and [[ImAHumanitarian eat it]] as he beats [[CurbStompBattle Spider-Man to close to death]].
* FantasticFragility: Morlun is vulnerable while feeding, so much so that he is forced into a temporary retreat when the police begin to swarm him while he is in the middle of eating Peter.
* TheHeroDies: Spider-Man sheds his body and gets a new one out of a cocoon, with many teammates and his loved ones believing he has died.
* ImAHumanitarian: Morlun eats one of Spider-Man's eyes during their second battle. Possessed by the Other, Spidey then repays this and the beating by eating Morlun's face.
* NextTierPowerUp: After becoming the receptacle of the totemic spider-deity called the Other, Spider-Man develops night-vision and venomous [[WolverineClaws stingers in his forearms]], and his strength gets boosted a second time to 20 tons.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Morlun dishes one out to Spider-Man, first by [[EyeScream tearing one of his eyes out and eating it]], and then literally beating him to a bloody pulp. By the time he's done and is chased off by the police, Peter's face is so bloody and swollen that not even Mary Jane, his own wife, can recognize him.
* SuperStrength: After being resurrected by the Other, Spider-Man's strength is boosted to 20 tons.
* TooManyMouths: Morlun has glowing suckers on his palms, comparable to ones ComicBook/{{Morbius}} was given in ''Spider-Man: The Animated Series''.
* WolverineClaws: After being resurrected by the Other, Spider-Man developed poisonous ''hand stingers'' that he even calls [[LampshadeHanging a case of Logan Envy]]. When Peter protested that spiders don't have stingers, The Other responded that they ''will''... in the ''future''. Even before the CosmicRetcon of ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' removed the stingers, they weren't used all that often (with [[DependingOnTheWriter some writers]] claiming that they only came out around "fellow totemic beings" as a defense mechanism). Peter's clone Kaine, the second [[Characters/MarvelComicsScarletSpider Scarlet Spider]], got his own stingers after dying and coming back to life in ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland''.
