History Characters / SpiderManSpiderVerseAntagonists

* ForWantOfANail: He was supposed to be the Spider-Man/Men of Earth-42, but the spider that was supposed to bite him was sent to another universe, leading to a sequence of events that resulted in Miles becoming something else entirely.

* AlternateSelf: A version of Aaron who isn't currently the Prowler.

%%AdaptationalUgliness: NOTE: Kingpin's appearance is this movie is a direct homage to Bill Sienkiewicz's "Love and War" comic mini-series. It's a nearly direct translation of his appearance from those comics AND NOT an ugliness added when adapted to film.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He and Miles have a very good relationship, with Miles able to tell Aaron things he's uncomfortable talking to his own dad about. When Aaron finds out the person he's sent to kill is his nephew, he refuses even though he knows it'll mean his own death. Additionally, he has fond memories of his brother Jefferson and expresses regret they grew so distant.

!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/JoaquinCosio[[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese)[[/labelnote]]

->''"Bueno, mira estas pequeñas arañas. [[note]]Well, look at all the little spiders.[[/note]]"''

Another of Fisk's enforcers, a cyborg with the robotic legs, pincer, and stinger of a scorpion.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Spider-Ham hits him with an anvil, he doesn't get mad, but chuckles over the cartoonish aspect of the situation.
* BaldOfEvil: He's a bald super villain.
* BewareMyStingerTail: As always, he possesses a mechanical scorpion tail.
* TheBrute: He's the most clear-cut example of the trope in the movie since he's just a powerful thug the Kingpin keeps around to kill for him.
* CompositeCharacter: He's Mexican and a TattooedCrook like the second Ultimate Comics version, but he has Scorpion gear like the 616 version that are implemented cybernetically like the first Ultimate version.
* CurbStompBattle: He tears SP//dr apart and nearly kills Peni in the climax, but the trope gets flipped on him when Spider-Ham starts fighting serious.
* {{Cyborg}}: His lower body has been replaced with robotic scorpion legs and his left arm is a pincer.
* EvilCounterpart: To Peni Parker and SP//dr. Both are are bilingual (Peni being half-Japanese and Scorpion being Mexican), and their first names are different from their 616 counterparts (Peter for Peni and [=MacDonald=] for Maximus). They also fight with armoured tech with Peni being inside her mech, while Scorpion is a cyborg with scorpion-like gear. Both are {{Lightning Bruiser}}s and base their tech design upon an animalistic appearance.
* FantasticRacism: He insultingly calls Spider-Ham a "cartoon".
* GratuitousSpanish: When he says ''"Well, look at all these little spiders..."'' upon entering Aunt May's home. Although he is speaking in Spanish the text box next to him appears in English complete with an asterisk to inform the audience that it's been translated from Spanish.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: His scorpion appendages are a rusty brown instead of the traditional green that the character is associated with, although he ''does'' have hints of bright green glowing within him. [[TruthInTelevision It does make him look more like an actual scorpion, which are not typically bright green.]]
* PowerPincers: His left arm is a mechanical scorpion pincer.
* ScorpionPeople: Instead of wearing a scorpion suit, he has the appearance of a half-human, half-scorpion cyborg.
* SpiderLimbs: His legs are robotic and can split into four to crawl like his namesake.
* SpikesOfVillainy: ''Covered'' in them. They serve to make his armor and his tail's stinger look like a carapace.
* TattooedCrook: He's covered in tattoos that make him look even more like a scorpion.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He doesn't wear a shirt.
* WouldHurtAChild: And how. His first action after saying "stand little boy" to Miles is to slam his stinger at his head. Miles barely manages to stop it inches from face indicating that Scorpion was going for a killing strike.

A mad scientist and an enemy of Spider-Ham.

* AffablyEvil: Doctor Crawdaddy is surprisingly amicable when he's not trying to kill Spider-Ham.
* CanonForeigner: Doesn't exist in the original comics.
* CardCarryingVillain: Why else would he label his hideout an "Evil Villain Lair"?
* MadScientist: He has an "Evil Villain Lair" (as labeled outside) and the look of a scientist, and he's introduced shackling Spider-Ham to a table.
* PunnyName: His name is based on a "crawdad", a type of seafood. Ham tries to distract him by suggesting "Dr. Crawfish: Attorney at Craw".

!!Earth-42
'''Warning: Due to the nature of [[TwistEnding this dimension]] and [[WalkingSpoiler its inhabitants]], all spoilers are unmarked!'''
[[folder:General]]
The universe where the radioactive spider that bit our Miles originally came from. Due to its spider getting pulled to another dimension, Earth-42 was left the (presumably) only universe where no Spider hero existed, and thus its New York was left an anarchistic hellscape with criminals left to roam free under the control of the Sinister Six.
----
* CrapsackWorld: Without a Spider-Man to protect it, Earth-42 New York City went to hell, with crime and property destruction being the norm and the city being under the control of the "Sinister Six Cartel."
* ForWantOfANail: The super-collider experiment in Earth-1610B removed Earth-42's radioactive spider, leaving it without a Spider-Man and at the whims of its supervillains.
* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about Earth-42 would spoil the TwistEnding of ''Across the Spider-Verse''.

[[folder:The Prowler]]
!!Miles Morales / The Prowler
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_9554.png]]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/JharrelJerome

->''"[[MeaningfulEcho I'm Miles Morales]], but you... you can call me the Prowler."''

\\
Earth-42's version of the Prowler, who is not Aaron, but in fact Miles who runs a crime organisation with him.

* AlliterativeName: '''M'''iles '''M'''orales.
* AlternateSelf: The first alternate version of Miles introduced in a ''Spider-Verse'' film, living in the universe where the spider that bit Miles originated from.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's apparently an established criminal supervillain in his home universe, but not enough of his character and situation is shown to conclusively say whether or not he is genuinely evil at heart. On the one hand, he has apparently pulled up several "jobs" with his Uncle Aaron's guidance, has no problem ambushing Miles with a sneak attack, and is overall callous towards his situation or the fact that an alternative version of his own father [[MurderByInaction will be killed by keeping Miles trapped]]. However, he apparently genuinely loved his own version of Jefferson, as shown by the "Rest in Power" memorial graffiti, he seems to care about his mother, and it's implied the crimes he's pulling off with Aaron as necessary to keep them financially stable. It's unclear if he's an AntiVillain or a JustifiedCriminal, but he ''was'' originally supposed to become the heroic figure of Spider-Man for his home universe, so he did have the potential to do good in him before his spider was dimensionally displaced.
* BadassCape: Averted. Instead, the tail straps of his backpack create this effect.
* BadassNormal: While he may not have been bitten by the spider and gained superpowers, his uncle's tutelage in the fighting arts and gadgets still makes him a deadly foe for Miles as the Prowler.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's TheStoic in contrast to Miles' dynamic personality, and despite not sharing Miles' spider powers, he's clearly someone to be careful of as the Prowler.
* BraidsOfAction: One of the most visible ways to distinguish Prowler Miles and Spider-Man Miles is that the former wears his hair like this while the latter's hair is an afro.
* BrickJoke: Earlier in the movie, Miles back in Earth-1610 attempts to deflect rumors of Spider-Man being Puerto Rican (after Rio brings it up) by claiming he's Dominican instead. While Earth-42 Miles is still Puerto Rican, he ''is'' voiced by Jharrel Jerome, [[ActorAllusion who is of Dominican descent.]]
* CollapsibleHelmet: He wears a mask that can fold into the back of his head if he decides to stop using it.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Or rather, Uncle's Little Villain. It's implied he took up the mantle of The Prowler from his uncle, who is a RetiredBadass.
* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: Averted. This Miles was heavily impacted by the loss of his father, but he is apathetic about Earth-1610B's Miles losing his own.
* DullSurprise: He's remarkably blasé about meeting a version of himself from an alternate dimension, merely asking whether 1610B-Miles' father is still alive and reacting with a simple "huh..." when given an affirmative. [[TropesAreTools It's helps characterize him as cold and unemotional]], in contrast to the more empathetic and sensitive Miles the audience is familiar with.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite his cold exterior and lack of compassion, he seems to have remained on friendly terms with his mother, as she still loves him and is mostly unfazed by his appearance in their home. He also seemed to love his late father, as it's implied he and his uncle painted a mural of him in his honor similar to how Earth-1610B Miles and his dad did for their Aaron. Notably, this ''doesn't'' extend to alternate versions of his father, as he refuses to set "our" Miles free when he's informed that Jefferson will die otherwise.
* EvilCounterpart: This version of Miles is basically what happens if he never got bitten and his Uncle had too much influence over him - a cold, violent criminal. Ironically, the brief shot of him seen in the Spot's recollection indicates he was originally supposed to be Miles' GoodCounterpart instead, studying in a classroom when his spider prepared to bite him, contrasted against 1610 Miles receiving the bite instead whilst he was blowing off his assigned homework to make graffiti art with his Uncle.
* EvilDoppelganger: Serves as this to our Miles, showing what he could possibly end up as had he not been bitten by the radioactive spider and become Spider-Man.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Like the Prowler from Earth-1610B, his mask electronically modifies his voice to make it sound much deeper, which highlights his villainous role.
* ForWantOfANail: He was supposed to be the Spider-Man/Men of Earth-42, but the spider that was supposed to bite him was sent to another universe, leading to a sequence of events that resulted in Miles becoming something else entirely.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: He has a different hairdo and voice compared to the protagonist Miles, which helps distinguish them out of costume. He also has a Puerto Rican accent, which is noticeable in how he pronounces "Morales."
* InASingleBound: He's capable of leaping across buildings thanks to his rocket-thruster-equipped shoes.
* {{Irony}}: Of the cosmic variety. The brief shot of him in the Spot's recollection of dimensionally displacing his spider shows it was apparently about to bite him whilst he was studying in a classroom, implying that he was once an aspiring and driven student aiming to better himself. Said spider would then find another version of Miles in the process of blowing off his own homework assignment to make graffito art with his criminal uncle and bite him instead. This negated 1610 Miles' "fated" destiny of eventually becoming a Super Villain in the same vein as his Uncle, and transformed him into the heroic figure of Spider Man instead. Meanwhile, as a result of there being no Spider Man on Earth-42, the studious 42 Miles who was supposed to receive that destiny apparently became pushed into the criminal lifestyle of the Prowler in order to [[JustifiedCriminal provide for his family]] as his dimension became a CrapsackWorld.
* LegacyCharacter: It's heavily implied that he inherited the Prowler mantle from his uncle Aaron.
* MissedTheCall: He was potentially destined to become the Spider-Man of Earth-42 but the spider that would have bit him got sent to Earth-1610B where it bit our Miles. This left Earth-42 without a Spider-Man and he ended up going down a darker path as the Prowler.
* MythologyGag: This is not the first time that Miles Morales has faced off against an EvilCounterpart of himself. It is near impossible not to compare him to Ultimatum from the mainstream comics.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Much like his Earth-1610 counterpart's uncle, he ''doesn't'' play around as the Prowler and straight up ambushes Miles before he could even register his presence.
* NoSell: Miles' SpiderSense utterly fails to warn him of his counterpart's incoming ambush, and when he awakens, he likewise fails to sense him lurking in the rafters above until Aaron draws attention towards him as the new Prowler. It's implied this is because of him technically ''[[AlternateSelf being]]'' Miles, thus rendering him immune to being sensed by him in a capacity not unlike that of Venom, one of Spider-Man's most famous {{Evil Counterpart}}s.
* NoSympathy: When the Miles of Earth-1610 tells him that their father is about to die unless he saves him, Earth-42 Miles coldly retorts that Jefferson is ''his'' dad, not theirs.
* {{Parkour}}: Like Earth-1610's Prowler, he can run and leap across buildings and lower himself down from a support beam to meet Miles face-to-face while making little sounds.
* PerpetualFrowner: Unlike Miles, he doesn't smile ''at all'' due to his more tragic and harden personality.
* PowerFist: He wields similar gauntlets as Earth-1610's Prowler, allowing him to knock out the spider-enhanced, durable Miles in a single blow to the head. He also softly grazes his gauntlet against the side of Miles' head as a means of intimidation.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He has a primarily magenta and purple color scheme and he's the only antagonist that Miles can't sense at all, dropping him in two seconds flat.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: He has a magenta and violet color scheme to distinguish him from Earth 1610-B's Miles' [[RedIsHeroic red]] and black.
* TheStoic: Emphasized in contrast to Earth-1610B Miles Morales. While that Miles is an extremely facially expressive person, as part of his general personality as a sensitive artist, this Miles never breaks his cold, neutral facial expression and reacts to news that his lost father is alive in another world with a simple grunt. It shows how life as a supercriminal without the positive influence of Jefferson has hardened him.
* TeensAreMonsters: He's a young teenager like the 1610B Miles, but is a ruthless criminal rather than an idealistic superhero.
* WolverineClaws: Prowler's primary weapons are his giant, mechanical gloves with razor-sharp claws on the fingers.

!!!'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse Across the Spider-Verse]]''

Earth-42's version of Aaron Davis.

* AlternateSelf: A version of Aaron who isn't currently the Prowler.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear whether he retired from being the Prowler and passed on the gauntlet to his nephew, or whether he was never the Prowler and merely supports Miles from behind the scenes.
* BeardOfEvil: The major difference in appearance between him and his counterpart in Earth-1610B.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: Inverted, he's a still living version of Miles' deceased uncle.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite still being a criminal in this universe and [[AmbiguousSituation maybe being the (former) Prowler]] he misses his brother and provides for his sister-in-law and Miles.
* EvilMentor: It's all but stated that he guided his nephew into the life of crime.
* InSpiteOfANail: He's virtually the same as Earth-1610B's Aaron.
* RetiredBadass: Is heavily implied to be the original Prowler, much like his counterpart on the main Miles' universe. Despite claiming he's not (Earth-42's) the Prowler, he seems to know how to use the Prowler's gauntlet before tossing it to his nephew.
* SpottingTheThread: Just by looking at the different hairstyle and Miles' tense reaction to his presence, he quickly figures out that the Miles from Earth-1610B is not his nephew.
* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about him would spoil the TwistEnding of ''Across the Spider-Verse''.

[[folder:Vulture]]
!!Adriano Tumino / Vulture
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vulture_8.png]]
!!!'''Voiced By''': [[Music/TheLonelyIsland Jorma Taccone]] [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Antonio Di Ponziano (Swedish), Jan-Marten Block (German), Creator/NobuoTobita (Japanese)[[/labelnote]]

An alternate version of the bird-themed supervillain from a universe styled after Renaissance-era Italy. He wound up in Gwen’s universe via a temporal anomaly from the wake of the supercollider.

* AlternateSelf: His counterpart on Earth-65B is briefly seen in a photo when the police mistake him for their version. Gwen also remarks that he's not her Vulture when she sees him.
* {{Clockpunk}}: His technology has this vibe, with oil lamp grenades and missiles, jointed wooden wings operated by strings, and even a jetpack.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Was originally from a Renaissance world - thus, he has some issues with the modern art at Gwen’s Guggenheim and her modern New York as a whole.
* GadgeteerGenius: He wields a unique arsenal of custom renaissance tech incorporated into his suit. Even more impressive considering he's fighting modern superhumans with 19th-century weapons.
* TheGhost: His Earth-65B counterpart is mentioned and only seen in a photograph. His whereabouts are unknown.
* HammerSpace: Referenced by name when Miguel slices off one of his wings. The Vulture simply pulls a new wing right out of his giant clockpunk jetpack.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's animated to resemble a Leonardo Da Vinci sketch brought to life, including only being coloured in shades of brown. Gwen asks if he's made of parchment.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Vulture is only seen in the ActionPrologue, but his rampage in Gwen's universe brings the Spider-Society to her and ends with her having to unmask herself to her father, two events that drive Gwen to join the Spider-Society and kickstart the events of ''Across the Spider-Verse''.
* StarterVillain: He is the first major villain that Gwen, Miguel, and Jessica fight in the second film's ActionPrologue.
* StrawCritic: He's a Renaissance-era pencil sketch deposited in the Guggenheim of Gwen's Earth and the cause of his immediate rampage is disproportionate rage at how tacky he finds modern art. Though the breathtaking beauty of the actual cityscape and skyline of Gwen's watercolor world manages to literally stun him.
* WalkingArmory: His suit’s pretty advanced for something that comes from the Renaissance period.
** His wings have blades mounted on them, can be repaired mid-flight due to have backup parts stored in Hammerspace.
** He can protect his upper body and head with a [[InstantArmor armored exoskeleton]] when he's about to crash into various objects.
** He packs an ArmCannon that can fire crossbow bolts or explosive glaives that can knock down a 21rst century helicopter.
** He can equip a mask that can act as a FireBreathingWeapon, though Gwen notes how its dangerous, considering how he looks like he's made of paper.
** His right arm can fire out a hook shot that acts as a grapple, but it can also extend into WolverineClaws.
** His flying rig also has an Hail Mary attack where it ejects Greek Fire grenades through some kind of spring catapult.

[[folder:Captured Anomalies]]

Various villains from different universes that were captured by the Spider-Society.

* AscendedExtra: Among the many anomalies are obscure villains from the series, such as Videoman, one of the "video game guys", or Mooseterio, a version of Mysterio from Spider-Ham’s dimension who’s a cartoon moose. Typeface, a lesser-known [[MonsterOfTheWeek villain of the week]] (even moreso than The Spot himself), gets his film debut here as one of the captured anomalies.
-->'''Typeface:''' Go to [[{{pun}} helvetica]], Spider-Man!
* TheCameo: A couple of the many prisoners being held are from previous adaptations, such as the Green Goblin from ''VideoGame/SpiderManAtari2600'', who is literally just a bunch of green pixels vaguely resembling a human figure.
* FunnyAnimal: Mooseterio, Spider-Ham’s version of Mysterio, is an anthropomorphic cartoon moose.
* GenderFlip: There's a ''Miss''-terio, a female version of Mysterio.
* SaveTheVillain: They're all being prepared for return to their home dimensions, which among other reasons is so they won't die from being away too long. The Spider Society seems to have something of AlienNonInterferenceClause against handling supervillains without their world's Spider, so killing them or keeping them imprisoned long-term is a no-no.
* {{Toon}}: Mooseterio is a cartoon animal, just like Spider-Ham.

->''"[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge I'm going to take everything from you, like you took everything from me.]]"''

A supervillain with the ability to manipulate {{Portable Hole}}s on his body.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Spot has quite a bit of a gut on him, but once he gets a handle on his powers, he proves to incredibly agile, able to keep pace and outmaneuver three Spider-Men at once.
* AdaptationalAbomination: From petty thief in a goofy costume that gets his ass handed to him by Spidey [[PunchClockVillain every Thursday]] to a TranshumanAbomination with a PortalCrossroadWorld inside of him. [[spoiler:In his OneWingedAngel form, he becomes a living CosmicFlaw whose very existence threatens the entire multiverse.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Usually, the Spot is pretty incompetent, even with his surprisingly powerful ability. Here, he's hyped as Miles's "most formidable foe yet". [[spoiler:In fact, the entirety of ''Across The Spider-Verse'' is him averting the whole VillainForgotToLevelGrind ''hard'' and becoming [[EldritchAbomination the single most dangerous entity]] in the entire multiverse threatening to unmake ''everything'' with his multi-dimensional powers.]]
* AdaptationalUgliness: He's a lot ''chunkier'' here than he is in the comics, with a flabby body paired with awkward gangly limbs that visually convey his ineffectual nature as a villain. [[spoiler:After using Super-Colliders to power himself up his complete lack of texture ([[CosmicFlaw being effectively a human shaped hole in the Multiverse]]), along with becoming somewhat more streamlined, he becomes much more intimidatingly LeanAndMean.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, the Spot is typically a D-lister villain at best who despite [[BewareTheSillyOnes the sheer application of his powers can provide]] is ultimately a doormat who serves other more competent bad guys and ends up becoming a ButtMonkey IneffectualSympatheticVillain more often than not[[note]]In fact, in his debut issue, he only was an antagonist to take his chances against Spider-Man with his newfound powers over dealing with Wilson Fisk [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness who was keen on killing him for his lack of progress]] and even ''then'' considered the possibility of instead going straight and [[CutLexLuthorACheck making genuine scientific progress]] with his powers, before abandoning any notion of being a villain altogether after taking exactly ''one'' punch from Spider-Man and fleeing for his life into the Spot Dimension [[PutOnABus for a whole decade before his next appearance]].[[/note]]. In the films though, while still a goofball of a bad guy [[spoiler:[[FromNobodyToNightmare at least initially]]]], The Spot eventually [[spoiler:[[FauxAffablyEvil reveals his true colors and depravity]] when he makes clear his sheer contempt for Miles and the lengths he'll go to take his revenge on him for turning himself into a hopeless monster, firmly setting him as Miles's ArchEnemy in the same vein as Green Goblin was for Peter.]]
* AdaptationNameChange: The Spot of Earth-1610 in the comics was called [[OnlyOneName Frank, with his surname never being revealed.]] Here, he's called Johnathon Ohnn, like his Earth-616 comic counterpart.
* AffablyEvil: Aside from his intense hatred of Miles Morales, he's actually quite affable to everyone else he comes across. Even as he tries to commit petty crimes, he doesn't go out of his way to cause physical harm to his victims (notably, when he invades the Alchemax lab in Mumbattan, he uses his power to teleport the Alchemax scientists out of the control room instead of killing them, although that may have been to prevent them from gaining his powers) and even trades barbs with other Spider-people like Spider-Man India and chats with civilians he comes across. [[spoiler:Once he achieves his full power and becomes a fully HumanoidAbomination, however, anything affable about him is completely gone, with only the desire for vengeance against Miles that's left.]]
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: His mutation cost him his job, the respect of his coworkers, and the acceptance of his family. [[spoiler:With nothing left in his life, he decided to devote his entire existence to making Miles suffer, as he blamed him for what he turned into.]]
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: He actually isn't one, but both Miles and Gwen mock him by calling him a dalmatian or a cow man due to the patterns on his [[BodyHorror "costume"]].
* ApologeticAttacker: He sincerely apologizes to the store owner he tries to rob after he accidentally hits him in the face with the baseball bat he was trying to hit The Spot with.
* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:He's basically Miles's Green Goblin, willing to go to any extreme just to make Miles suffer because he blames Miles for what he became. While Miles doesn't take him seriously at first, the events of ''Across the Spider-Verse'' see him grow increasingly aware of how dangerous Spot really is, and Miles acknowledges that he's his nemesis by the end of the film.]]
* ArcWords: "VillainOfTheWeek". The heroes initially pass him off as some D-list villain due to his incompetence and bizarre appearance. This infuriates Jonathan because his transformation completely ruined his life, yet nobody takes him seriously. This pushes him to [[spoiler:hone his abilities and gain more power from other universes, evolving from some silly D-lister to a threat to the entire Multiverse]].
* ArtEvolution: Partly as a result of being an AscendedExtra. In ''Into'', while it's harder to see due to him being quite a distance away when being hit by the bagel he sports a ordinary hairstyle and undetailed look. His OnceMoreWithClarity {{flashback}} to this scene in ''Across'' had his closeup design adjusted to sport an undercut hairstyle to match the clean look he had just moments before his FreakLabAccident, as well as exaggerated facial details to express his MinorInjuryOverreaction.
* AscendedExtra:
** The Spot[=/=]Jonathan Ohnn is a minor IneffectualSympatheticVillain in the Spider-Man [[RoguesGallery Rogues' Gallery]], and as a result has only appeared in two previous pieces of Spider-Man media where he was still a minor antagonist (''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan''). This film bumps him to being both the BigBad and Miles' ArchEnemy, which is far above his comic counterpart's level of prominence.
** '''Literally.''' [[spoiler:He goes from having, at most, five seconds of screentime in the first movie as the "Bagel!" scientist to being the BigBad in the sequels.]]
* AtrociousAlias: He introduces himself as The Spot. Cue Miles bursting out laughing.
* AxCrazy: He already had signs of instability beneath his goofy and incompetent exterior, particularly his genuine seething hatred for Miles, [[spoiler:but what was left of his sanity basically vanishes after he absorbs Mumbattan's Super Collider and becomes a full-blown CosmicFlaw. Afterwards, his only thoughts are about destroying everything Miles has ever loved.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:By the end of ''Across the Spider-Verse'', he's succeeded in gaining the notoriety he spent the whole movie seeking by upgrading himself into a full-blown CosmicFlaw, an entity Miles has to take seriously.]]
* BaldOfEvil: Due to the [[spoiler:Super Collider]] mutating his body into something entirely different, he's lost the ability to grow hair and doesn't have a single strand of hair on his head or anywhere else.
* BeingEvilSucks: {{Zigzagged}}. He expresses anger over the loss of his personal relationships as a result of his transformation and how his silly-looking appearance means nobody takes him seriously, but he actually whole-heartedly embraces using his new powers for evil actions ranging from attempting (and failing) to rob an ATM to trying to fight Miles as his ArchEnemy. Part of this is implied to be [[spoiler:his [[DrivenByEnvy envy]] over Miles' transformation into a superhero being something he had a hand in and [[EntitledBastard nobody respecting him for it]], desiring the same respect from his own mutation by becoming Miles' recurrent nemesis no matter what lengths he has to go to]].
* BerserkButton: Being mocked or disrespected. When recounting the things his transformation has cost him in anger towards Miles, he verbally mentions his inability to see his family anymore, but the visual flashback of his memories shows him being mocked by a circle of his former colleagues, implying that the humiliation and anger he feels about his condition motivates him far more. When Miles utterly fails to recall any part of their prior history and treats him as a "Villain of the Week", he becomes unnervingly angry and charges at him in a feral rage whilst screaming about how he will ''make'' Miles respect him as a threat. Following his humiliating first defeat to Miles, he becomes utterly fixated on becoming stronger and more dangerous with his powers despite the personal risk out of sheer spite towards how he has been "mistreated" by his hated foe, [[spoiler:and willingly discards what trace remnants there are of his former humanity just so Miles will take him seriously as his ArchEnemy]].
--> '''The Spot:''' ''(at Miles)'' [[spoiler:You'll finally have [[{{Archenemy}} a villain worth fighting]] and ''[[BewareTheSillyOnes I won’t be JUST A JOKE TO YOU]]!!'']]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's blatantly comical from the moment he appears, being an incompetent "villain of the week" who can't stop [[ThatCameOutWrong blathering about his holes]], quite literally kicking his own ass or being flustered when Miles [[AtrociousAlias laughs at his name]], but [[ThinkingUpPortals his powerset]] scales up the more he's able to charge it, such that [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass despite his buffoonery]], he's able to become a monolithic threat that's said to be Miles's "most formidable foe yet".
* BigBad: The primary threat of ''Across the Spider-Verse''. [[spoiler:Initially considered a D-lister, The Spot hones his abilities to become a multiversal threat and his intent to make Miles suffer for his condition drives the plot of the film's first half. Even when Miguel takes over as the HeroAntagonist in the second half, The Spot's impending return to Miles' universe and murder of Jefferson Morales still makes him the ''overall'' threat, and Miles is more focused on returning home to stop him.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: With Miguel O'Hara for ''Across the Spider-Verse''. [[spoiler:The Spot aims to destroy everything Miles cares for in retaliation for being turned into what he is now, but Miguel's insistence on ensuring the "canon" event of this conflict--the death of Jefferson Morales--makes him the preeminent threat of the second half. It's because of this trope that Spot even grows as powerful as he does to begin with, as Miguel's refusal to compromise has the entire Spider Society chasing Miles, enabling Spot to run free almost completely unchecked.]]
* TheBlank: A large portal blot appears to cover his facial features, but when it's moved there's nothing underneath. Despite this, he can still talk, hear, see, and eat. The black spot on his face can retract sometimes like a pupil which allows him to emote somewhat. If you look closely, you can also see that he's literally a blank character design, as you can clearly see the sketch layer from where the fine details would be added.
* BlessedWithSuck: His opinion of his condition and what it has done to his life professionally and personally is a very bleak one, leaving him with little choice but to turn to a life of crime that he fails abysmally at on his first day due to his PowerIncontinence getting the better of him constantly to his chagrin. [[spoiler:However, this opinion turns around once he realizes he's in fact CursedWithAwesome when he grasps the full extent of [[RealityWarper his abilities]] that's possible with his usage of portals and, once he masters honing them, he firmly believes he was ''[[FromNobodyToNightmare destined]]'' for this amount of power all along.]]
* BodyHorror: He states to Miles plainly that, unfortunately for both of them, the holes on him are actually ''a part'' of his body. [[ApologeticAttacker Miles is quick to give his sympathies]]. [[spoiler:Rockets further into this territory after honing his powers and becoming an EldritchAbomination, beginning to violently glitch in-and-out of reality and {{Undercrank}}ing rapidly at all times.]]
* ButtMonkey: First, his life is ruined when he gets mutated into a freak, leaving him shunned by his own family, mocked by people for his appearance, and unable to get any job, forcing him to turn to crime to survive. After that, he constantly gets hurt, mocked, and embarrassed [[spoiler:until he gets the idea to use Super-Colliders to make himself more powerful.]]
* CallBack: [[spoiler: Rewatching ''Into'' after ''Across'', one may notice that Miles' graffiti for his ''Great Expectations'' school project looks familiar, as it's a black, featureless human with a white outline over an abstract background of greens and purples...just like the Spot when he first obtains his new [[HumanoidAbomination more powerful form]].]]
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:A random extra among the scientists who appears for five seconds in the first movie, he ends up becoming the Spot.]]
* CardCarryingVillain: Taken to a horrifying degree. [[spoiler:After having his whole life destroyed and seeing Miles as the source of his misery, he decided to become a villain so powerful that Miles will have no other choice than to respect him as his ArchEnemy after he takes everything and everyone Miles' has ever loved. In other words, because of Miles' status as TheHero, he decides to be the bad guy in order to make him suffer.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: Remember that random scientist that Miles chucked a bagel at in the first film? [[spoiler:That was this guy. He even brings up this exact moment while explaining his backstory to Miles.]]
* CompositeCharacter: While he has the characterization and powers of his comics incarnation, resembles one-shot villain The Thousand in his motivations. [[spoiler:Both are losers who had a prior grudge against Spider-Man before being transformed into monsters, hold themselves personally responsible for his creation, and feel entitled to the same respect.]] He also takes after the [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 Earth-120703 version of Electro]], both being ButtMonkey employees of a corrupt company that mutated into humanoid abominations while on the job, obsess over being recognized by Spider-Man and became serious threats once they mastered their abilities. [[spoiler:Him being responsible for 1610B's Miles having Spider powers and plotting to murder Jefferson Davis is also taken from the second incarnation of Venom from ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan, Conrad Marcus.]]
* ConfusionFu: This is one of the main strengths of his portals during combat, as he is able to use them to both rabidly shift himself and his opponent around the environment to keep them disoriented as well as make it hard to hit him. At first, it almost as much of a detriment to himself as it is to Miles due to his lack of control, but during when they meet again in Mumbattan, he's gotten a much better handle on them and is able to keep Miles and three other skilled spider-people on the ropes.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To The Kingpin:
** Kingpin is a feared criminal mastermind while The Spot is a nobody who starts the movie unable to rob an ATM.
** Kingpin is one of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains while The Spot is an obscure D-Lister.
** Kingpin is a BadassNormal with a CharlesAtlasSuperpower while The Spot is a RealityWarper who got his powers by accident.
** Kingpin has an extremely bulky frame of pure muscle while The Spot is LeanAndMean.
** While both wish to exploit the multi-verse for selfish reasons, The Kingpin just wants his family back while The Spot desires to ruin Miles’ life and become a serious threat.
** Also to the [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome Green Goblin of Earth-TRN925]], their obsession to destroy a Spider-Man's life threatening the multiverse. But while Green Goblin is the most famous of Spider-Man’s iconic villains and CEO of a tech company, the Spot is a obscure D-Lister who worked as an ordinary scientist.
* CosmicFlaw: [[spoiler:In his fully-powered state, he plainly looks out of place in ''every'' universe he's in, and if his {{Futureshadowing}} towards Miles is any indication, he can effortlessly destroy entire city blocks like a walking black hole.]]
* CostumeEvolution: Actually, that's not his costume, that's his skin. [[BodyHorror Yeah]]. But nevertheless, the spots in his skin increase both in size and number as he absorbs more dark energy. [[spoiler:During the confrontation in Earth-50101B, he absorbs such a large quantity of dark energy that his design barely looks human anymore. He [[ArtShift stops being rendered]] in 3D to become what appears to be a being made out of said energy. He is more akin to a very rough sketch of a silhouette than anything now.]]
* CreateYourOwnHero: [[spoiler:Alongside Olivia Octavius, Jonathan was responsible for building the Supercollider for Wilson Fisk, which makes him responsible not only for the radioactive spider from Earth-42 biting Miles — but responsible for the ''entire'' Spider Society across the multiverse as his actions led to Miguel discovering the anomalous backlashes across all reality and building an elite task force of Spider people to deal with the consequences of his actions.]]
* DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler:After absorbing the Mumbattan's particle collider to get a massive power boost, he loses his [[TheNondescript featureless white appearance]] as his colors invert to a pitch black void, which matches his slip into becoming an multiversal OmnicidalManiac to get back at Miles.]]
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: The Spot is this to the IneffectualSympatheticVillain. Despite having abilities that are, on paper, ''ridiculously'' powerful--being able to create portals with his body--no one takes The Spot seriously, due to his petty crimes, jokey personality, and [[AtrociousAlias lousy villain name]]. He claims Miles is his nemesis and they're each other's origin stories, but Miles has no idea who he is, and dismissively calls him a "Villain of the Week," a sentiment all the Spider-People share. And this ''pisses him the hell off'', starting him on a quest to change that. [[spoiler:Turns out, his gripes with Miles are ''true''; his actions did lead to Miles becoming Spider-Man, and Miles' actions in turn did lead to him becoming a HumanoidAbomination and his life being turned upside down. Understandably, being treated as a joke does ''not'' please him, and the fact that no one takes him seriously enables him to run rampant through the multiverse and figure out the full extent of his powers and become ''much'' stronger than he was before. And now, he's no longer content with killing just Miles; he wants to destroy Miles' life the way Miles (unintentionally and unknowingly) destroyed his, by targeting his loved ones... and possibly destroying his world.]] Lesson: if you don't take your bad guys seriously, they just might give you a reason to.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Proves to have an even worse case of this than Miles, who ironically called him out for using the term "ATM machine" when the ''M'' already stands for ''Machine''. When Pavitr later on accuses him of being the type who would say "naan bread"/"bread-bread" and "chai tea"/"tea-tea"([[HypocriticalHumor which Miles himself did]]), he agrees that ''[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike he does loves chai tea]]'', [[BerserkButton setting the latter off]].
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: After his transformation, Jonathan Ohnn effectively lost his life and everything he knew. At his core, The Spot is a lonely man who wants to belong and finds said belonging in becoming the ArchEnemy of the Spider-Man he helped create. When Miles, and the rest of the Spider Society (sans [[NoNonsenseNemesis Miguel]]) laugh him off as a joke, he lashes out and becomes a CosmicFlaw that threatens existence itself, all to prove his detractors wrong and cement himself as a worth adversary for Miles.
* DimensionalTraveller: His body is covered in interdimensional portals that can teleport him anywhere he needs to be.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's the undisputed main antagonist of the first half of ''Across the Spider-Verse'', but [[spoiler:once he absorbs the power of Mumbattan's particle collider he escapes into the multiverse and the rest of the film focuses on Miles' ideological conflict with Miguel O'Hara and the Spider-Society, with the Spot remaining at large by the end]]. An unusual example, as [[spoiler:he's very clearly the bigger threat and his escape is to set him up as the primary antagonist of the sequel.]]
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Is treated as a joke by Miles in the beginning despite the Spot proclaiming how he's Spider-Man's ArchEnemy, which repeatedly gets on his nerves during their fight as he tries to make himself more menacing than he actually is. [[spoiler:However, once he hones his powers and becomes a RealityWarper after evolving into a full on HumanoidAbomination, he ''earns'' Miles's (and the rest of the multiverse's) undivided attention as [[TheDreaded the single most dangerous being]] in the entirety of existence.]]
* EnergyAbsorption: The Spot's portals have a finite power source, so once he burns through that, he is just a normal, weird-looking dude. To regain his powers, he has to absorb dark energy from collider reactions like the one that created him.
* EntitledBastard: Spot expects Miles to immediately view him as his ArchEnemy despite his gross incompetence, and generally seems to expect people to automatically respect him without doing anything to earn it. [[spoiler:His MotiveRant implies he feels that him having accidentally helped give Miles his powers means he should be just as adored, and completely ignores his own part in having ruined his own life.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs at multiple points:
** Despite being a thief himself, The Spot doesn't try to steal from people explicitly, instead targeting stuff like [=ATMs=] which he, [[InsaneTrollLogic justifies]] as him stealing from the banks that manage such machines which he considers the "[[MorallyBankruptBanker real criminals]]".
** Repeatedly calls Miles out for [[SeriousBusiness not treating their first fight seriously]] and being plain disrespectful—even texting to his father while in a fight, to which the Spot snidely remarks that "he'll turn off his phone in a theater, but not during their fight".
** He's ''horrified'' by the possibility of being culturally insensitive when Pavitr calls out [[UglyAmericanStereotype his choice of words]] about "[[JourneyToFindOneself finding himself]]" after coming to Mumbattan [[spoiler:to steal power from it's Alchemax's supercollider]], quickly trying to correct his meaning.
** The one standard he has that's played entirely seriously though is his refusal to harm bystanders — at least intentionally [[spoiler:and so long as they aren't a means explicitly to hurt his {{Archenemy}} by his personal attachment to them]] — seeing how he tries desperately to avoid attacking the clerk of the store he's robbing and later using his powers to personally evacuate everyone [[spoiler:from the Alchemax facility in Mumbattan before absorbing its supercollider (although the latter may have been to prevent the scientists from following the same path as him and getting his powers)]]. However, [[spoiler:after his evolution into a full-fledged CosmicFlaw, presumably as part of a SanitySlippage from the overwhelming power [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and sheer rage towards Miles]], his indifference to mass destruction implies this standard is no longer such the case.]]
* EvilCounterpart: His claim that he's Miles' nemesis holds merit when you realize how similar they are, unfortunately for Miles.
** Both are very book-smart, especially when it comes to science, and ''will'' figure out how to use that knowledge in-battle.
** Both got their powers "thanks" to Kingpin's experiments with the multiverse and, as Spot points out, they created one another, as Miles was bitten by a radioactive spider that Ohn and Octavius teleported from another universe, while Spot became...[[BodyHorror that]] after an incident with dark matter when the collider exploded thanks to Miles.
** Both him and Miles started out as an ineffectual villain and hero respectively, with lots of PowerIncontinence and really no clue on what to do with their new lives as superbeings.
** However, both then grow across their arcs by both honing their abilities until they became very effective and crafty in using them and by gaining confidence.
*** Though it should be noted that, while it's 100% training on Miles'part, on the Spot's it was training that made him more competent at using his portals [[spoiler:but what increased his power wasn't training, but an "absorbing the power from a supercollider" shortcut.]]
** They both were dismissed by the Spider-People around them as incompetent, as the Spider-Gang in the first film agreed the insecure, power-incontinent Miles was just not ready to be Spider-Man yet, to his devastation, while Spot is derided by Miles, Gwen, and every other Spider-Person outside of Miguel as a harmless, pathetic "cow-man" they could throw behind bars easy-peasy, to his ''fury''.
** They both [[spoiler: start donning a mostly black costume (or skin in the Spot's case) once they've finally become a real deal.]]
** Both of their journeys to self-improvement involved a [[ArcWords leap of faith]]: in the first film, Miles made a literal leap off a building in the famous "What's Up Danger?" sequence, while the Spot had to, at one point, make a figurative, but much more serious leap when, in order to regain holes and travel through dimensions, he created a minicollider in his apartment and touched it, while knowing it could've disintegrated him then and there.
*** One difference among them stands out here, however: if Miles had fumbled his leap, the ensuing fall would've harmed him and him alone; the Spot, meanwhile, casually mentions that if he fumbled his leap he'd have destroyed himself and everything (and everyone) else in the building, but went for it anyway, because hurting Miles was [[EvilIsPetty worth the risk]] to him. This sets a contrast between the responsible hero Miles and the selfish villain Spot.
** Both operate on a "petty" level in the grand scope of the multiverse, but in different ways: [[spoiler:when Miguel asks Miles if he'd rather save one person (his father, Jefferson Davis, who is set to die as a "canon event" for Miles) or an entire universe, Miles wants to TakeAThirdOption and save everyone, but also chooses his father without hesitation, to Miguel's fury; the Spot also prioritizes Miles' loved ones...but [[RevengeByProxy in the worst possible way]] as, after finally gaining the power of the multiverse, the Spot wants to use that great power for petty spite and to kill all of Miles' loved ones. Of course, Miles'"pettiness" makes him more sympathetic, as he's a kid who, in spite of all the odds against him, refuses to let his family die for the sake of some written-in-stone canon that is a mere ''theory'' of Miguel's. Meanwhile, the Spot's actual pettiness makes the audience lose all sympathy they may have had for him as he shows his true colours as a truly deplorable, vindictive monster.]]
** A more minor similarity: they both [[{{Redundancy}} piss off Pavitr by calling chai "chai tea".]]
** On a metatextual level, both he and Miles are motivated by a desire to [[ScrewDestiny break free from their own narrative]]; Miles doesn't want to lose any more loved ones, Spot doesn't want to be an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:While his reasonings to hate Miles Morales are justified in part due to the [[BodyHorror horrific side effects]] of his dimensional powers, the lengths he goes to to get revenge on him are insanely petty and frighteningly sadistic in spite of his general comical personality as he plans to destroy everyone and everything he holds dear for what Miles unknowingly did to him.]]
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: He attempts to cooly introduce himself as a mighty fiend to Miles, which utterly fails due to his AtrociousAlias, the fact Miles had already been watching Spot getting beaten up by the convenience store owner in his bungled robbery, and a loaf of bread immediately falls out of the spot on his torso.
* FatBastard: He's got a noticeable paunch belly despite his otherwise lanky build, and he's a supervillain [[spoiler:who becomes a threat to the multiverse, though he incidentally loses the belly after powering himself up]].
* FatalFlaw: [[DidntThinkThisThrough Short-sightedness]]. Spot almost never thinks anything he does through. He attempts to set himself up as Miles's nemesis while still struggling to control his powers, barely thinks his robbery through, and never bothers learning to control his abilities for at least six months. [[spoiler:The only reason he became the Spot is because he stupidly tried to shield dark matter from an explosion rather than fleeing, and even when he becomes a threat he only worsens his condition to hurt Miles rather than trying to find a cure somewhere in the multiverse.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's introduced as a pathetic and clumsy wimp who actually apologizes to a bodega owner at several points while botching his first robbery. [[spoiler:Then his grudge against Miles is made clear, as is the fact that he will do absolutely anything to make Miles suffer, including wiping out the multiverse itself, which makes the fact that he maintains the same tone of speech that originally made him seem like a joke a lot more unnerving.]]
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:The Spot's life was irreversibly ruined by his mutation, as it caused his friends and family to ostracize him and cost him all his job prospects. Being that his mutation was an indirect result of Miles destroying the Super Collider, he blames Miles for what he turned into. Miles humiliating him during his first outing as a supervillain and refusal to take him seriously ultimately cause him to completely snap, and he decides to take away everyone Miles loves so that Miles will finally understand the level of hatred he holds towards him.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: As it turns out, [[spoiler:The Spot is actually one of the background Alchemax scientists (Jonathan Ohnn) who was a part of Wilson Fisk's project to create the Super-Collider in the first film. He was there at the facility when Miles blew up the collider during the final battle, which resulted in him receiving the side effects that turned him into what he is in the present. Because of this, he holds a strong grudge against Miles, whom he blamed for his current predicament, and seeks to become Miles's archnemesis and destroy everything he holds dear. Eventually, his quest to become more powerful threatens the entire multiverse itself.]]
* {{Futureshadowing}}: After reaching his full potential by absorbing the dark energy in Mumbattan, [[spoiler:he seemingly gains the ability to see into the future and, presumably, tap into the Web of Life and Destiny itself. He reveals to Miles vague visions of the future, such as the death of [[HeroKiller several Spider-People by his hands]], and the two upcoming canon events: both the death of Inspector Singh and Miles's dad, Captain Morales.]]
-->'''Miles:''' What was that?!\\
'''The Spot:''' [[AC:Our future. I'm going to take everything from you, like you took everything from me.]]
* GiverOfLameNames: His own nom de guerre is the goofy sounding "The Spot", and he can't come up with anything more classy than "dimensional juice" for the stuff he's experimenting with.
-->''"Branding was never my strong suit."''
* GreenEyedMonster: It's very heavily implied that the Spot is jealous of Miles's fame. [[spoiler:He's responsible for Miles's creation, and thus views himself as entitled to the same amount of respect.]]
* HadToBeSharp: [[spoiler:Part of what turns him from D-Lister to a cosmic threat is how ''fast'' he learns how to use his powers just to keep up with Miles.]]
* HeCleansUpNicely: A photo of him in his apartment shows that in the past he had [[SeriouslyScruffy long shaggy hair and a scruffy beard]], but his flashback to when he got his powers shows him much more well-groomed with his hair cut short. His scruffy look is also in a notable amount of his concept art, which also shows him working diligently implying why.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:The scene {{Futureshadowing}} his intent to Miles shows one such glimpse of Spot hovering over a decimated city with hundreds of Spider People (presumably from the Spider Society) are strewn about, either defeated or flat out dead beneath him before he goes after [[RevengeByProxy Jefferson Morales]].]]
* HowDoIShotWeb: His first robbery shows that he's not very skilled in controlling where his portals open up at desired locations. [[spoiler:Then he figures out how they work and gets a hell of a lot more dangerous.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: Bordering on {{Eldritch Abomination}}. His accident left him as a completely featureless individual with completely bleached white skin, black wormholes on his body and no face anymore although can still see, hear and speak normally. [[spoiler:Fully embraces this after honing his powers further as a CosmicFlaw and becoming a full-on horror for the entire multiverse.]]
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He has a distinct desire to be taken seriously. His hatred towards Miles only grows due to being treated as a VillainOfTheWeek.
* IWasQuiteALooker: While explaining his TragicBackstory to the bodega owner, he also raises that he was quite good-looking before his transformation... ''which isn't too off''. {{Flashback}}s have shown that he looked decent during the events of ''Into'', which also suggests that his shaggy look in the photo with Olivia above was taken a period [[SheCleansUpNicely before he cleaned himself up]]. [[AllForNothing Not that it matters anymore...]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: A villain who somehow manages to fit the trope. The Spot is [[PoliticallyCorrectVillain not]] racist, but Pavitr sees him as yet another shallow western tourist on a trip through the "mystical" land of India when the supervillain words his goal of becoming more powerful through Mumbattan's collider as "being on a journey of self-improvement". The Spot later unintentionally presses Pavitr's BerserkButton when lightheartedly expressing his love for [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "chai tea"]].
* InsaneTrollLogic: He engages in this multiple times, such as begging the store owner he's stealing from to not impede his act of theft (since he has never robbed anyone else before and it would make it a bad experience for him), justifying the theft of an ATM by saying how banks are the real criminals (while he's pushing the entire machine away), and believing that he can fill the metaphorical emotional hole in his heart by acquiring more portals (and thereby allowing him to hurt is archnemesis Miles Morales).
* LaughablyEvil: Very much so. He starts out so hilariously pathetic and has many hilarious moments. Even when he starts becoming more competent of a villain after successfully traveling to Earth-50101, he still has moments where he interacts with the heroes in comical ways. [[spoiler:This does not take away from the fact that he manages to become a surprisingly effective villain.]]
* LeanAndMean: He has a bit of a paunch, but his limbs are noticeably noodly, though it more conveys his awkwardness than his villainous nature. [[spoiler:Him losing the paunch after powering himself up does lead to his overall design looking much more threatening.]]
* LiteralAssKicking: He accidentally inflicts this upon ''himself'', no less. [[spoiler:During his MotiveRant about his DarkAndTroubledPast when Miles refuses to take him as anything more serious than a VillainOfTheWeek, his PowerIncontinence brought by his out-of-control emotions causes him to [[EpicFail accidentally open a portal beneath his rush at Miles causing his foot to be conjured up]] ''[[EpicFail at full momentum]]'' [[EpicFail towards his own butt, immediately incapacitating him just before trapping himself in the Spot Dimension.]]]]
* MadScientist: He's a genuinely talented scientist who uses his smarts to empower himself, and beneath his goofy exterior he holds a very violent obsession with revenge against Miles.
* MaskOfSanity: He's clumsy, goofy, and can actually be pretty affable with strangers. However, when it comes to Miles, every interaction belies the genuine seething hatred The Spot has towards him. [[spoiler:The mask drops completely after he turns himself into a HumanoidAbomination, as he openly becomes singularly focused on killing everyone Miles cares about.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:The Spot's anger at Miles detonating the Super-Collider and turning him into a BlessedWithSuck mutant loudly ignores the fact that it was Kingpin and Doctor Octopus who not only made it, but turned it on knowing the dangers it posed to the multiverse; it's roughly akin to blaming a firefighter for accidentally hitting you with a hose while trying to put out a forest fire that burned you. It also ignores that ''he'' was the one who decided to stick around and try to carry out a canister of dark matter while the facility was going to pot all around him.]]
* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: The Spot's power is so immensely existential that he threatens the ''entire multiverse'' just by existing in spite of his almost comical, goofy personality. [[spoiler:Then he decides to use this power ''intentionally'' to rob Miles of everyone that he loves.]]
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: The Spot appears to have been ''so'' affected by [[spoiler:getting beaned by a bagel]] that it's one of the main things he calls Miles out on. Likewise, his recollection of [[spoiler:getting hit with a bagel has him shouting dramatically, as though he got shot.]]
* MirrorCharacter: To Miles himself, to the point of being almost ''a self portrait'' of each other — [[ForWantOfANail they both have had a wrench thrown in their lives]] that has afforded them a great amount of power that makes them genuinely unique in the multiverse [[spoiler:but in the eyes of others, they are ''not'' treated particularly well; either being considered [[VillainOfTheWeek a joke villain]] (in Spot's case) or JustAKid (in Miles's) by particularly everyone they run into and don't give them the respect they deserve... which leads to them, through indignation, showing up those who looked down on them and [[UnderestimatingBadassery proving themselves to be far greater than they were initially considered to be]] that has everyone facing them re-evaluate their prior treatment of them.]]
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Miles and Gwen keep calling him a VillainOfTheWeek and dismissing him as a low-level threat. [[spoiler:He proves them wrong.]]
* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler:He wants personal revenge against Miles for being accidental collateral damage in Miles' fight with Kingpin in the supercollider in the last movie, but he's perfectly fine with causing a ton of collateral damage in his quest, including tearing the very fabric of the multiverse.]]
* MotiveRant: Gives one to Miles at the climax of their second confrontation, not only does he reveal his true identity as [[spoiler:the [[AscendedExtra scientist he threw a bagel at]] back in Alchemax, who had previously run a test that caused the [[CreateYourOwnHero very same spider that gave Miles his powers]] to arrive to Earth-1610B, but he also reveals that he was caught in the Super-Collider explosion, [[BodyHorror resulting in his body being deformed to such an extent]] that he can hardly be considered human anymore; with his co-workers and even his own family being terrified of him, with the latter not even wanting to look at him. He holds Miles to blame, as he was responsible for the explosion in the first place, and vows his revenge by taking everything away from him, just as he did to him.]]
-->'''The Spot:''' Because of you, I lost my job, my life, '''[[TheBlank my face!]]''' My family won't even look at me!
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: While he's willing to engage in thievery and ethically dubious science, he refuses to attack random civilians if they don't have any connection to Miles and [[PetTheDog personally evacuates the scientists from Mumbattan's particle collider]]. [[spoiler:It's implied this goes out the window once he transforms himself into a living CosmicFlaw.]]
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Even though the accident that mutated him happened as a result of experiments he was actively participating in and, even more directly, of the fragile canister of dark matter he was trying to carry out of the Super-Collider facility in his arms while the Spider-Gang were raiding it, the Spot persistently blames Miles and Miles alone for his predicament.]]
* NoRespectGuy: After his mutation, the guy couldn't catch a break. He was the object of ridicule by his former coworkers, gets nearly beaten up by a bodega owner he failed to rob, is treated as a joke by Miles, and is labelled a VillainOfTheWeek by the other Spider-People. [[spoiler:Then he figures out how to use his powers and proceeds to make himself powerful enough to become a threat to the multiverse.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler:His first outing has him failing to rob a bodega and barely able to control his portal powers. Once he figures out how to use his powers effectively, he becomes a multiversal threat.]]
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:After absorbing all of the energy from the Super-Collider in Earth-50101, he basically becomes even ''[[FromBadToWorse more]]'' of a HumanoidAbomination than he already was before with his appearance changing from having white skin with black ink blots to black skin with white ink blots. He gains the power to threaten and destroy the entire ''multiverse'' too.]]
* PlayingTheVictimCard: While robbing a bodega's ATM, Spot insists that he's not robbing the store but the banks, and because "they're the real criminals!" trying to stop him makes you the bad guy. The owner is unimpressed.
-->'''Owner:''' You're the real criminal! You're ''robbing'' me!
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: He's many things, but racist isn't one of them, as he apologizes to Pavitr after he takes his "journey of self-discovery" comment the wrong way.
* PortalCrossroadWorld: As it turns out, there is one ''inside'' of himself. [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext After he kicks himself in the butt, he gets sucked in by one of his own holes,]] he ends up in a {{Pocket|Dimension}} BlankWhiteVoid EldritchLocation that he describes to be "inside of him", which is full of holes, each leading to different universes. This reveals that these aren't ''just'' traditional intradimensional portals[[note]]Portals that work in only one dimension[[/note]], but multiversal portals.]]
* PortalCut: The aftermath of charging his powers with a mini-collider are holes of various sizes completely bored through the walls of his apartment. Similar holes appear in a straight line to Mumbattan's Alchemax in his wake. He even makes a scissor gesture with his hands, complete with a small "Snip!" appearing onscreen, to create a small portal to sever the web line keeping him from entering the active collider.
* PortableHole: His superpower is the ability to manipulate the holes on his body and place them wherever he wants at any size, even midair, and travel through them to wherever else he wants, however he needs a source for his holes and is unable to conjure them up on the spot. [[spoiler:When he accidentally discovered he can travel across dimensions using them but loses all his holes in doing so, he created a mini-collider in his room to regain one before using it to outright travel to the Alchemaxes of the other dimensions to absorb the holes from their industrial-sized colliders.]]
* PosthumanNudism: The Spot [[NotAMask clarifies to Miles]] that he's not wearing a bodysuit; everything you see is his bare skin. Despite being ashamed of his appearance, he's stopped wearing any clothes after his transformation. Miles is disturbed to learn this, but [[NonhumansLackAttributes no one sees anything they call obscene]], giving the uncomfortable implication that the Spot lost more body parts than the ones on his face...
* PowerEchoes: [[spoiler:After absorbing the energy from the Supercollider to reach his maximum potential, the Spot gains an otherworldly reverb to his voice that further implies how just ''[[HumanoidAbomination monstrous]]'' he's become by becoming a full-fledged CosmicFlaw.]]
* PowerFloats: [[spoiler:After he reaches full power, he gains the ability to levitate in midair.]]
* PowerIncontinence: Extreme anger causes him to expel portals randomly which have the potential of teleporting him somewhere he doesn't want to go or bringing in debris that gets in his way.
* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler:His hatred for Miles is what motivates him to study and expand his powers to terrifying levels.]]
* PowersDoTheFighting: His ThinkingUpPortals power does 99% of the fighting for him during his first few fights with Miles, mainly resulting in a ConfusionFu-based WimpFight between them as he keeps comically redirecting them around the city uncontrollably. Even his few attempts to physically punch Miles through the portals gets easily countered thanks to Miles' SpiderSense and ability to react to the distortions better than Spot himself -- not helped by the fact that his transformation doesn't seem to have given him any kind of noticeable SuperStrength, meaning he's still only as strong as a humanoid scientist. [[spoiler:This starts to go away as he masters his portal abilities more; by the time he reaches Mumbattan, he's become capable of physically grappling with Miles in addition to freely using the disorientation of his teleportation as an effective weapon, as well as apparently become subtly stronger, able to simultaneously NeckLift both Miles and Hobbie at once without visible effort]].
* PunchClockVillain: Prior to his mutation, [[spoiler:he was just an Alchemax scientist. This meant he assisted Doctor Octopus and the Kingpin in creating the Super Collider and was one of the many scientists who chased after Miles and Peter B. in the first movie, but it was ostensibly just a normal job to him. It definitely doesn't apply anymore, as he's wholeheartedly embraced being a supervillain after his condition got him fired.]]
* PunnyName: Johnathan can be shortened to Johnny, which makes him "Johnny Ohnn, The Spot" - a phrase meaning someone who is readily available to handle a task. [[ToiletHumour Or a brand of portable toilets.]] Additionally, his AtrociousAlias is a ''goldmine'' for punny jokes with multiple [[YouFightLikeACow Spider People]], resulting in a HurricaneOfPuns when Jessica Drew asks them to get the jokes off their chest.
* RemovedAchillesHeel: In his normal form, the white parts of him are vulnerable to harm, assuming he isn't able to shift his holes to cover them, allowing his foes to strike back if they can anticipate his attacks or take him off guard. [[spoiler:After absorbing enough power, he is effectively made of holes with barely any of himself left visible, making it unclear if it's even possible to harm him directly.]]
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: He's capable of travelling to different universes using his portals. Unlike the Spider-People, he doesn't need secondary technology to keep his cells from dying out whenever he isn't in his home universe.
* RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler:After being ridiculed nonstop and [[DudeWheresMyRespect given absolutely no respect by anyone]], especially Miles, for being a "VillainOfTheWeek" and thus denied having any chance of filling the [[{{Pun}} hole]] in his life... the Spot decides to commit to this approach fully to cement himself as Miles's {{Archenemy}} by killing everyone he loves personally.]]
* SarcasmBlind: When Pavitr accuses the Spot of being yet another shallow western tourist with a stereotypical outlook on Indian culture, he starts sarcastically asking Spot if he wants some spices or maybe some naan bread, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "which is like saying 'bread bread', which is like saying 'chai tea'!"]] Without skipping a beat, naïve ol' Spot responds that he loves chai tea.
* SeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:It turns out that he was the one that [[ItMakesSenseInContext Miles threw a bagel at]] in the first movie. He apparently took it ''very'' personally as he recaps it to Miles as apart of his MotiveRant and in an angry tone, too.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: A large part of Spot's enmity with Miles isn't just [[spoiler:blaming him for his creation, but the fact that he accidentally brought the spider that gave Miles his powers into their dimension. Spot holds himself personally responsible for his creation, and feels personally entitled to being just as respected as a result. However, a FreezeFrameBonus in the same scene shows that the spider was heading towards its native Earth-42 version of Miles before it was teleported away, meaning it was always "destined" to bite a Miles Morales and turn him into Spider-Man. Whilst Spot is correct that his actions have a large hand in it being "this" Miles who became a hero, he acts like the Miles Morales Spider-Man wouldn't exist at all without him, showcasing his petty ego underneath his legitimate grievances with his transformation]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Jonathan Ohnn only has five seconds of screentime in the first film, which was spent on a joke, but he's the one who brought the spider that bit Miles into their universe, setting in motion the latter's entire journey to becoming Spider-Man. For a role that amounted to a cameo, the first film wouldn't have existed were it not for him. He gets a much bigger role in the sequels.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:His OneWingedAngel form's animation style heavily resembles [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann the Anti-Spiral]], and by that point he's become a HumanoidAbomination of universe threatening power.]]
* SoftSpokenSadist: Not initially, but as his threat level increases his tone quiets further and further. [[spoiler:The Spot's pledge, after he distorts further into a HumanoidAbomination, to take everything Miles holds dear is hardly louder than a whisper.]]
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: When fighting in Mumbattan against Miles, Gwen, and Pavitr [[spoiler:after his first level-up]], in the middle of the CasualDangerDialogue between him and Pavitr, he comments how he likes "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Chai tea]]" not unlike Miles had just ''seconds'' before which presses Pavitr's BerserkButton in equal measure.
* ThatCameOutWrong: One humorous scene has him getting yelled at by two construction workers to "stop talking about [his] holes".
-->'''Worker:''' You're making everyone uncomfortable!
* ThinkingUpPortals: Is covered with portals that he can use to transport himself and use in fights. In the promotional image, he's seen using Miles's kick on him to kick Gwen in the face. [[spoiler:As he gets more accustomed to his portals, he starts inching into RealityWarper territory with how freely he can manipulate space around him.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:He starts out as an incompetent joke whose first defeat is the result of him literally kicking himself in the ass. However, from that incident, he figures out how his powers work, and when he returns in Mumbattan, none of the three (later four) Spider-People pursuing him can even land a meaningful hit on him. Then he merges with Mumbattan's Super Collider and becomes a universe-destabilizing CosmicFlaw.]]
* TragicVillain: [[spoiler:The Spot — back when he was Jonathan Ohnn — in spite of being on the payroll of Fisk and working at a company of an ill reputation was otherwise [[PunchClockVillain a fairly normal guy just doing his job]]... only to have his life entirely upended by being in the crossfire of Miles and Kingpin's final battle at the end of ''Into The Spider-Verse'' and [[BodyHorror horrifically]] transformed into a point of ridicule by his peers and lost any chance of finding normalcy with his strange condition — understandably leading him to blame Miles Morales for everything wrong in his life, and when he tries to make that point clear and attempts to become an {{Archenemy}} for him to find a place of belonging, Miles not only dismisses his troubled backstory [[ButForMeItWasTuesday as just another day's work]] but offhandedly calls him a "[[DudeWheresMyRespect villain of the week]]" multiple times during their first confrontation, meaning that even trying to be simply "bad" isn't enough to find a place to belong... [[ThenLetMeBeEvil compelling him]] to become "[[BeyondRedemption the worst]]" instead to finally find a purpose in life as Miles's greatest nemesis [[RevengeByProxy by hurting him where it counts]].]]
--> '''The Spot:''' ''[to Miles]'' We're finally living up to our potential: [[spoiler:You'll finally have [[{{Archenemy}} a villain worth fighting for]] and ''[[SuddenlyShouting I WON'T BE JUST A JOKE TO YOU]]!!'']]
* TranquilFury: After calming down to better use his powers, he still really, really despises Miles.
* TranshumanAbomination: Once a scientist working for the Kingpin, now a BrownNoteBeing with enough power to [[OmnicidalManiac endanger]] [[CosmicFlaw the whole]] [[EldritchAbomination multiverse.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:Aside from [[NoNonsenseNemesis Miguel]], ''everyone'' thinks of the Spot as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who might have a potent power, but is dismissed as a "villain of the week" by pretty much everyone, even the people chasing him down from the Spider-Society — [[{{Archenemy}} especially Miles himself]]. However, by treating him in second-hand as a minor threat that can be dealt with at their convenience, the Spot ultimately is able to hone his powers and become a horrific CosmicFlaw in the entirety of the multiverse and threaten the existence of everything by just ''existing''.]]
* UnknownRival: Miles has zero clue who he is at the start of ''Across the Spider-Verse'' and views him as just another random "villain of the week" to beat up and arrest. Things rapidly escalate as Miles learns just how obsessed Spot truly is with him, and what he plans to do [[TargetedToHurtTheHero to get back at him.]]
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Horrifyingly averted. [[spoiler:Over the course of the movie, the Spot figures out how his powers work and their true scale, going from a pathetic IneffectualSympatheticVillain to a multidimensional threat, and he's directing all that energy into making Miles suffer.]]
* VillainOfTheWeek: Deconstructed and ultimately averted. [[spoiler:Treating someone whose life you indirectly ruined as someone who you’re going to beat and move on from immediately is not a healthy idea at all. Miles’ flippant attitude towards him in their first fight causes The Spot to go off the deep end and drives him to develop his powers further. The end result is the BigBad of the second and third films in the trilogy]].
* VillainTeleportation: His entire modus operandi. His portals allow him to teleport himself and other people and objects through them.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: He gains this when he gets truly pissed off at Miles during the ending of his MotiveRant and starts charging towards him. [[spoiler:He permanently gains this after going OneWingedAngel from absorbing all of the energy from the Super-Collider of Mumbattan.]]
* WakeUpCallBoss: He serves as one for Pavitr, a relatively inexperienced Spider-Man who's coasted through the whole hero gig with ease up to that point. The battle in Mumbattan and [[spoiler: Inspector Singh's near death]] is the first time Spider-Man India's truly been pushed to the edge.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:A minor character who only got 5 seconds of screentime in the first movie turning out to be a CanonCharacterAllAlong ''and'' the BigBad of the sequel is already a spoiler by itself.]] While he is a bad guy, his motives are not that easy to discuss without spoiling the movie.
* WalkingWasteland: [[spoiler:Upon honing his powers, his portals gain a corrosive effect that can decay structures and cause them to collapse in on themselves over time, as shown with the Mumbattan Alchemax facility crumbling in half after absorbing the power of its own Supercollider.]]
* WhosLaughingNow: [[spoiler:It wasn't enough that The Spot already blamed Miles for what he turned into. Miles along with the other Spider-People sans Miguel treating him like a joke D-lister proceeded to invoke his wrath so thoroughly that he was pushed to master his powers so that he could destroy the multiverse as payback, starting with everyone Miles has ever loved. And ''hoo boy'' does he become capable of doing just that by the end.]]
* YouCantThwartStageOne: [[spoiler:What his arc amounts to in ''Across the Spider-Verse''. Stymied by how Miles keeps treating him as a "villain of the week," the Spot eventually finds out the full potential of his portal powers and decides to power up using another collider to embrace the full potential of his powers. He succeeds halfway through the movie, becoming a godlike HumanoidAbomination, and leaving Miles to spend the back half of the film dealing with his attempt to get back home before the Spot does.]]

->''"So glad you could make it to my pig roast, Spider-Ham! Prepare to be honey-glazed! Do you have any last words?"''

\\
A mad scientist and an enemy of Spider-Ham.

* AffablyEvil: Doctor Crawdaddy is surprisingly amicable when he's not trying to kill Spider-Ham.
* CanonForeigner: Doesn't exist in the original comics.
* CardCarryingVillain: Why else would he label his hideout an "Evil Villain Lair"?
* MadScientist: He has an "Evil Villain Lair" (as labeled outside) and the look of a scientist, and he's introduced shackling Spider-Ham to a table.
* PunnyName: His name is based on a "crawdad", a type of seafood. Ham tries to distract him by suggesting "Dr. Crawfish: Attorney at Craw".

!!Earth-42
'''Warning: Due to the nature of [[TwistEnding this dimension]] and [[WalkingSpoiler its inhabitants]], all spoilers are unmarked!'''
[[folder:General]]
The universe where the radioactive spider that bit our Miles originally came from. Due to its spider getting pulled to another dimension, Earth-42 was left the (presumably) only universe where no Spider hero existed, and thus its New York was left an anarchistic hellscape with criminals left to roam free under the control of the Sinister Six.
----
* CrapsackWorld: Without a Spider-Man to protect it, Earth-42 New York City went to hell, with crime and property destruction being the norm and the city being under the control of the "Sinister Six Cartel."
* ForWantOfANail: The super-collider experiment in Earth-1610B removed Earth-42's radioactive spider, leaving it without a Spider-Man and at the whims of its supervillains.
* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about Earth-42 would spoil the TwistEnding of ''Across the Spider-Verse''.
[[/folder]]

Earth-42's version of the Prowler, who is not Aaron, but in fact Miles who runs a crime organization with him.

[[folder:Aaron Davis]]

* PowerFloats: [[spoiler:After he reaches full power, he gains the power to float in midair.]]

* DecompositeCharacter: While he's usually depicted as Spider-Man's ArchEnemy as well as being one of the overall [[BigBad Big Bads]] in most of his appearances outside of the comic books. This role is given to the Kingpin in this movie. In fact, Norman serves as muscle for Fisk, a rather unusual role for him to play.

* FauxAffablyEvil: She maintains a chipper attitude and treats the Spider-Men like they're old friends she's happy to see even as she's trying to kill them. She says things like "Would you give me that back, young man?" when chasing Miles after he steals her computer or "Nice to see you again, Peter." during the climactic battle.

* BigBadDuumvirate: Implied. While Fisk funds her work, she's clearly using his interest to further her own and the movie implies she has bigger plans for the multiverse. While she's deferential enough to call him "Mr. Fisk", she's also more than willing to snark to his face, and has no qualms about killing his personal guard Tombstone.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Prior to becoming the Spot, Jonathan (before he shaved) [[https://twitter.com/filthyguts2/status/1669901910336217089 has a passing resemblance]] to Youtuber LetsPlay/{{Critikal}}.

* BerserkButton: Being mocked or disrespected. When recounting the things his transformation has cost him in anger towards Miles, he verbally mentions his inability to see his family anymore, but the visual flashback of his memories shows him being mocked by a circle of his former colleagues, implying that the humiliation and anger he feels about his condition motivates him far more. When Miles utterly fails to recall any part of their prior history and treats him as a "Villain of the Week", he becomes unnervingly angry and charges at him in a feral rage whilst screaming about how he will ''make'' Miles respect him as a threat. Following his humiliating first defeat to Miles, he comes utterly fixated on becoming stronger and more dangerous with his powers despite the personal risk out of sheer spite towards how he has been "mistreated" by his hated foe, [[spoiler:and willingly discards what trace remnants there are of his former humanity just so Miles will take him seriously as his ArchEnemy]].

* GadgeteerGenius: He wields a unique arsenal of custom renaissance tech incorporated into his suit. Even more impressive considering he's fighting modern superhumans with 19th century weapons.

* WalkingArmory: His suits pretty advanced for something that comes from the Renaissance period.
