SPIDER-MAN NOIR <\/strong>\u2013 <\/strong>The Spider-Man of 1933<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spider-Man Noir, a Peter Parker from another century as well as another universe, is a more hardened version of Spider-Man who fought crime during the Great Depression in 1933. Unlike most Spider-People, Spider-Man Noir is only seen in black and white and has the 1930s perspective to match, which makes it harder for him to adjust to Miles\u2019 modern (and colorful) world.<\/p>\n

PENI PARKER and SP\/\/dr \u2013 An anime school girl from the future<\/strong><\/p>\n

WILSON FISK aka KINGPIN <\/strong>\u2013 <\/strong>The ultimate crime lord <\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingpin blames Spider-Man for a loss so great that he is willing to risk the lives of every person in every universe to get back what he lost.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE PROWLER <\/strong>\u2013 <\/strong>Villainous henchman on a mission to get that kid!<\/strong><\/p>\n

GREEN GOBLIN \u2013 A monstrous super-villain and long-time enemy of Spider-Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of all the villains who’ve plagued Spider-Man over the years, the most terrifying is the Green Goblin. Although Spider-Man still calls him \u201cNorm\u201d in reference to the Goblin\u2019s previous human form, he must use all of is spider-powers to fight his demonic creature.
