A Brief Rundown Of The Heroes In 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'

Having no real knowledge of what "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" is, I decided to look for answers — Reddit delivered.

A Brief Rundown Of The Heroes In 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'

Sony Pictures

Sony might be taking a risk with delivering us a "Spider-Man" movie based on a relatively new (2014), and quite frankly, bizarre comic series, but between reading more about the "Spider-Verse Lore," viewing the latest trailer, and finding out Nic Cage is the voice of one of the Spiders, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Nonetheless, it's still a weird idea for a movie. I honestly thought it was a kids movie with the animation style and the appearance of "Spider-Ham," but upon reading more into it, I discovered the comic book spider-verse world is actually quite wild and dark. Although I'm still not sure how this is going to transfer onto a screen.

Quick noob breakdown of the "Spider-Verse" Marvel comics, TV shows, movies, and games are able to stay separate by having their charterers exist in different universes (which is why the Toby McGuire "Spider-Man" movies don't affect the current Marvel Cinematic Universe). Now, imagine taking the early comic book "Spider-Man," the Toby McGuire "Spider-Man," and the 2018 video game "Spider-Man" and pulling them out of their universe and putting them all into one. Then they all team up and fight. You can get the rest.

Anyway, the trailer offered us lots of goodies, specifically getting a closer look at (some of?) the variations of "Spider-Man" we'll be getting to watch. Reddit user, lordsmish, commented on a link to the new trailer with a list of the heroes and what universes they come from in the Marvel world. We'll go over these now:

1. Peter Parker, Spider-Man, Earth-616.

Peter Parker of Earth-616 is the classic Spider-Man. It was mentioned on Reddit that this might be Earth-96283 (the 2002 movie series) Spider-Man, but I doubt it with the confirmation of Spider-Qwen as the depth of the characters would be so much more.

2. Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Earth-1610.

Miles Morales, of Earth-1610, appears to me to be the main protagonist of this upcoming movie.

3. Peter Parker, The Spider-Man, Earth-90214.

Earth-90214's Peter Parker lives a darker, more violent version of Spider-Man who uses guns in a lethal manner. Nic Cage voices this one, that's all you should need to know about this film.

4. Gwendolyn Stacy, Spider-Gwen, Earth-65.

Although Peter Parker exists in this (Earth-65) universe, Qwen gets to be the masked webslinger. Another level of weird with this universe, Peter is Lizard, typically a rival of Spider-Man.

5. Peni Parker, SP//dr Mech Suit Pilot, Earth-14512.

In Peni Parker's Earth-14512 universe, her father dies while piloting the SP//dr Mech Suit. Her Uncle Ben and Aunt May inform her she's the only one who can continue his legacy and willingly gets bitten by a radioactive spider. Also, she's nine when this happens in her universe.

6. Peter Porker, Spider-Ham, Earth-8311.

Meet Peter Porker of Earth-8311... I think it would just be best to read the quick description from the Marvel wiki... "After dousing her head with water and activating the dryer, May Porker accidentally irradiated herself, and in a fit of delusion, bit Peter, who then found himself transformed into an anthropomorphic swine, much like May Porker herself. Running from the Porker homestead disoriented, Peter soon came to realize that he still retained a spider's abilities." Yeah...

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
