Spider-Punk, voiced by Daniel Kaluuya (in his second Marvel appearance after Black Panther), was one of the scene-stealing Spider-people in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. While Spider-People like Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Spider-Man 2099 have had several series of their own to their credit, Spider-Punk is a more recent invention with a somewhat shorter comic book record. However, he had quite the road before making it big on the big screen. Here is a timeline of Hobart “Hobie” Brown’s comic book career as the Spider-Punk.
Spider-Punk is one of the more contemporary spider people among the numerous that we saw in Across the Spider-Verse. He just made his debut in the 2015 Spider-Verse Marvel Comics event. Of course, this served as the basis for the first Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie. He was initially imagined by artist Olivier Coipel to be the Spider-Man of the UK before being developed by veteran Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott. Slott then changed his mind, believing that the UK needed a Spider-Man who was more than simply an homage to the Sex Pistols, a band from the ’70s. However, he was reinvented since he liked the design, giving rise to the Spider-Punk.
Hobart Brown was a homeless teenager on Earth-138, unlike Peter Parker, and he was residing on the streets. But a spider bit him, as it frequently did with his multiversal spider brethren. As a result of President Norman Osborn’s hazardous waste disposal, this one transformed. He acquired abilities that were the same as Peter Parker’s from the 616 world. Whether or not Hobart was a street punk, he was a talented scientist who created his web guns. He continued to play the guitar and be a member of a punk band despite all of this. He thereby surpassed Peter Parker, a teenager from 616, in at least one aspect.
He transformed into a Spider-Man with punk rock influences and commanded the oppressed New Yorkers to fight Osborn’s V.E.N.O.M. soldiers. Spider-Punk was understandably a little more hard-edged than Miles Morales and Peter Parker, who both adhered to a rigorous anti-killing ethic. Despite having a warm place for Gwen Stacy in his universe. He regularly said, “Until she croaked.” He literally beat the Norman Osborn of his Earth to death with his guitar during a riot. Wow, Spider-Man. After Osborn passed away, Spider-Man of this universe revealed himself to the raging mob, who now regarded him as a revolutionary figure.
Spider-Punk was enlisted by Superior Spider-Man, who was Doc Ock in Peter Parker’s body, to join an army of arachnid heroes during the Spider-Verse comic book storyline. In significant spider-hero-centric events like Spider-Verse and subsequently Spider-Geddon, Hobie joined the so-called Web Warriors. He rapidly became one of the group’s most well-known Spider-Man iterations. Not a simple process when there are dozens, if not hundreds, of webslingers involved. Even yet, he prevailed in battles against the Red Skull and even Kang.
In 2022, writer Cody Ziglar and artist Justin Mason created Spider-Punk: Battle of the Banned, the character’s first miniseries. The most recent Ultimate Spider-Man animated series included Spider-Punk for the first time outside of comic books. Despite the fact that the comics character was from New York City, they gave him a cockney accent. The Daniel Kaluuya version we meet in Across the Spider-Verse is also a Brit since that new character element persisted. The character’s original notion as a British national ultimately prevailed despite the obstacles. We anticipate Hobie to quickly catch up to the other Spider-people in terms of popularity in the public eye since he will undoubtedly receive much more exposure in Beyond the Spider-Verse.
