Favorite Spider-Character

[Geek Mangacomic]

Title says it all. Post a pic of your fave Spider-character, their name, and tell us why you like them. (includes supporting cast members and spin offs, such as Mary Jane or Symbiotes)

[Mister Mets]

Er, aside from Spider-Man?

[thefiresky]

Superior Spider-Man. That character was fresh. The villianous attitude and egotism of Doc with Parker in the backseat. It was truly it's own character.

[Aioros22]

Ben Reilly, Kraven, classic Felicia.

[The Kid]

Outside of Peter himself, I'm partial to Mayday and Miguel

Oh and Mary Jane

[Montressor]

Spider Boy. Sure, I'm perhaps the only one, but he was my favorite thing about Amalgam (aside from Dr. Strangefate and his little secret). Love his 'Legionnaire' friends, as well. I'd seriously support a book (not gonna happen).

[SpiderClops]

Apart from Peter Parker, Mary Jane.

[The Rhino]

Hands down mine is the Amazing Spider-Man.

[Celgress]

A very tough question. Other than Pete, I'll be with J Jonah Jameson for the win. He is simply put the best foil ever. It makes me sad he has been all but forgotten in the new status quo.

5) JJJ
4) the little goblin beanie baby normie hauled around
2 & 3) Gwen / MJ
1) the glider that harpooned Norman

[Proteus]

Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider is not only my favorite spider character, but one of my favorite comic characters ever.

Second favorite is Kaine/Scarlet Spider.

I just find the clones more interesting than Peter, who I lost interest in years ago.

Third is Eddie Brock/Venom.

[cc008]

That would be Flash Thompson/Agent Venom. You don't normally get football references in comics outside of Southern Bastards. Love the character arc, how he's changed since high school, and his relationship with the symbiote.

My favorites characters are — to no surprise of any regular here — Scarlet Spider (Kaine) and his friend & ward Hummingbird (Aracely Penalba).

In one of his reflections in Twitter on the Scarlet Spider Houston series, Chris Yost said he wanted to give Kaine something Peter Parker never really had: a partner. I think he succeeded admirably in that regard.

However, I like them both individually as well as a duo; and that includes everything about them! Their humor, powers, emotional dimensions, etc.

I love the complexities of what Kaine's clone origin entail: how his defects & distorted memories and mind influenced him as opposed to Ben Reilly and Spider-man; the absence of past and the clear knowledge of it. But I also love how he started to overcome all that and his guilt over his actions to do good and find a family of sorts. And his ridiculously confrontational personality that lead to all sorts of great scenes

I'm intrigued by Aracely's strange mysteries and the possibility of exploring them: her weird powers, the connection to the ancient Aztec gods, her "blank canvas" past, what exactly is she. But I also enjoy her energetic disposition, sunny attitude and her capacity to annoy other people due her lightheartedness, unabashed honesty and stubbornness (she and Kaine are really stubborn, each in the own way). And also, her uncompromising loyalty to her friend.

And the banter or humorous exchanges when they are together is simply... exquisite or ... something else . I would literally read a novel that is nothing but that.

P.D. Also, I think Kaine's & Aracely's abilities can lend themselves to great visuals - specially if Kaine regains the Other and we delve a bit more in Aztec imagery.

Spider Boy. Sure, I'm perhaps the only one, but he was my favorite thing about Amalgam (aside from Dr. Strangefate and his little secret). Love his 'Legionnaire' friends, as well. I'd seriously support a book (not gonna happen).

[Winterboy]

Peter and Mary.
