Before the Raimi film, however, another Spider-Man had organic shooters. Miguel O’Hara, the Spider-Man of the year 2099, counts organic web-shooters among his abilities, alongside his stronger precognition and strangely vampiric qualities. Such has been the case with several other alternate Spideys, including the monstrous clone Kaine Parker, Cindy Moon—who goes by the moniker “Silk” ever since she was bitten by the same spider that transformed Peter—and Spider-Man Noir.
That last point shouldn’t come as a surprise. The original Spider-Man: Noir comics by David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and Marko Djurdjević take place during the Great Depression and feature a poor Peter Parker, someone who wouldn’t have the materials to make mechanical web-shooters, even if he had the know-how.
Spider-Noir takes place in the same era, but has a much older Spidey. That’s not the only change from the comics, as demonstrated in the trailer. We see images of a mutant Man-Spider, who bites Ben Reilly and gives him powers. That’s a significant change from the comics, where Peter gets his powers from a spider-idol.
Who is that Man-Spider, and how did he come to be? Well, turns out Spider-Noir still has some mysteries yet to solve.
Spider-Noir streams on Prime Video and MGM+ on May 27, 2026.
