"Spider-Man" is the name of several superheroes in the Marvel Universe. The first titular and main protagonist is Peter Parker, created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

There also consists of alternate universe versions of the web-slinger such as May "Mayday" Parker and Miguel O'Hara.
Characters named Spider-Man[]
Peter Parker[]
Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, is the mainstream and original Earth-616 incarnation of the character and appears in almost every piece of Spider-Man related media.
Ben Reilly[]
Ben Reilly is a clone of Peter Parker, who also briefly fought crime as the Scarlet Spider. He also took over as Spider-Man (with a new costume) when Peter retired to settle down with a new family.[1] This lasted until the original Green Goblin returned and murdered him.[2]
Spider-X[]
Brian Kornfield was turned into a demonic version of Spider-Man by the power of the Darkhold. As Spider-X was seen by many wearing Spider-Man's costume, he is initially believed to be Spider-Man himself, mutated by the Darkhold, until his own mother learned the truth and explained this to the Midnight Sons.
Mac Gargan[]
While possessing the Venom symbiote, Mac Gargan posed as Spider-Man as a member of the Dark Avengers[3][4] until his capture at the end of the "Siege" storyline.[5]
Mattie Franklin[]
The niece of J. Jonah Jameson. After being granted spider-powers by "The Gathering of Five",[6] she filled in for Peter Parker during one of his temporary retirements[7] and later became Spider-Woman when he reclaimed the role.[8][9] She was killed by the Kravinoff family during "The Gauntlet" and "Grim Hunt" storylines. During the "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy" storyline, she was briefly resurrected, only to die again at the end of the storyline.[10]
Anansi[]
A member of the Vodu pantheon, he was the very First Spider-Man, according to Ezekiel Sims and the Ashanti tribe in Ghana.[11]
Ai Apaec[]
A South African spider god, Ai Apaec was transformed into a six-armed black-suited Spider-Man for Osborn's second incarnation of the Dark Avengers.
Otto Octavius[]
Otto Octavius swapped bodies with Peter Parker during the "Dying Wish" storyline, with Peter dying in his body. Possessing his host's body and memories, Otto was determined to both prove himself better as Spider-Man than Peter and a better man as the Superior Spider-Man, but was eventually forced to sacrifice himself to restore his host when his focus on the larger picture and his own ego resulted in the Goblin King taking control of New York City in a massive attack at the Goblin Nation.
Miles Morales[]
Miles Morales, a half Puerto Rican and half Black teenager from Brooklyn, has an origin almost identical to whose former ‘masked menace’ but has the ability to shock people (in which he calls his venom) and the ability to turn invisible. After he was brought into the mainstream 616 universe, he kept fighting crime as Spider-Man.
Gagamboy[]
Gagamboy (Junie) accidentally swallows a spider which has been exposed to a chemical spill, thus giving him web slinging abilities, and becoming a hero.
