** Will Sliney once [[https://twitter.com/WillSliney/status/528554723138605056 said]] that he was going to draw the Turkish Spider-Man in one of the issues of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'', but it never happened (there are two explanations: either it was just a joke, which is likely given the context of his statement, or the idea was abandoned for some reason).

''3 Dev Adam'' (lit. ''Three Big Men'', aka informally ''Turkish Spider-Man'' or ''Captain America and Santo vs. Spider-Man'') is a Turkish action [[CultClassic Cult Film]] from 1973. It's about ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and Wrestling/ElSanto [[CrossOver fighting together]] in order to stop the evil criminal mastermind, er... ComicBook/SpiderMan. Yup, it's that kind of movie.

* CanonImmigrant: The 3 Dev Adam version of Spider-Man makes a background cameo appearance in ''[[ComicBook/SpiderVerse Spider-Verse]]'' #2, indirectly implying that the film, despite its bootleg nature, may be a part the larger Marvel Multiverse. Or it's just an another alternate version of Spidey who wears a similar suit.

* MakesAsMuchSenseInContext: Throughout the film, The Spider makes a tee-pee so that he can ambush and stab a member of the mafia, sends hungry mice to eat one of his henchman, and is killed off multiple times near the end of the film. It's established that The Spider is a "child-minded lunatic", but even that doesn't keep his actions from being strange.

Of course, the characters were used without permission from their owners, and some of them [[InNameOnly have little in common with their original counterparts]]. Perhaps the most important things to highlight are that Captain America now has no shield, and Spider-Man is a bad guy who wants to create counterfeit dollars ForTheEvulz.
