Spider-Verse

Parallel web-slingers realm

Spider-Verse refers to a fictional multiverse concept from Marvel Comics where countless parallel dimensions each contain their own version of Spider-Man—or Spider-Woman, Spider-Pig, and other variants.

The term gained widespread recognition through the animated film *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse* (2018).

It now serves as shorthand for any sprawling fictional universe with multiple versions of the same character: The show has gone full Spider-Verse with all these alternate timelines.
