This thread's for the Spider-Man comics and spin-offs, whether they're decades old or brand new.
- Apart from the main Marvel Universe titles, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man "What If?" stories, crossovers, guest appearances in other books, Alternate Universe tales and things like Marvel's manga adaptations are all on-topic here.
- Spider-Man 'family' books are on-topic (as are their own crossovers, guest appearances etc.) - e.g. Spider-Man 2099, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, Silk, Spider-Gwen, Venom, Carnage, Black Cat, Red Goblin and Spider-Verse.
- Characters and comics that originated in Spider-Man but are no longer directly connected to the spider-franchise (e.g. Punisher, Silver Sable) are not on-topic, unless you're discussing historical connections and crossovers. If in doubt, check before you write a long post. If this isn't the right place, there's a more general Marvel Comics thread
which covers them.
Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about their Spider-Man stories here.
Discussions that are only about Spider-Man adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.
Please follow the spoiler policy rules
- tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics. When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).

… oh my god he’s the more moral hulk of the two

I, for one, blame The One Below All. Not just for original-Ultimate Universe Hulk, but for that entire universe outside of Spidey's little corner of it.

I kept thinking how to contextualize what Saiga said, but Bocaj found the words.
And for that I curse both of you.
I mean, I should probably curse the ultimate universe, but I prefer cursing both of you more.
Edit: Makes sense.

Hehe yeah, I don't think I'll be swapping this one out any time soon, it's too good.

I like to imagine that Quentin didn't even bother with any sort of illusions there, nor did he actually go through the effort to dress, sound, or act anything like Gwen. He just put that wig on over his fishbowl helmet while continuing to act as Mysterio normally would and that was enough to convince Norman that Mysterio was Gwen Stacy.

I’ve made that exact joke. Me and my best friend like to say that Mysterio just put on a wig and called himself Gwen and Norman fell for it and had sex with him.
Years later Norman finds out the truth and says “I wondered why you had a penis
”.

It's hilarious, two of my favorite Spider-Man villains and THIS is one of their biggest interactions.
Norman: So tonight, could you put on a red and blue onesie?
Mysterio: Oh no, I'm not doing this again.
And as I typed that, I remember seeing an entry somewhere that Electro once paid a shapeshifting prostitute to be Spider-Man.
"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"I mean, not in the slightest.
The Maestro you can punch. The Ultimate Hulk is someone you need because there's no one who can replace him.
Ultimate Universe is great because it is a place of lot of compromises being necessary.
Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.So they both have only one person who likes them?
Seems like it's a tie so far.
One Strip! One Strip!They literally replaced him with a nicer clone of himself
He sucked but then the ultimate universe never quite justified needing a hulk anyway

the best part about ultimate osborn as not-hulk is that the main difference between the two becomes that osborn isn't a rapist cannibal
