Every beloved comic book character has several alternate versions. Some are one-off jokes, others are deliberate inversions of the original premise, and a few are excellent new takes on an old concept. Spider-Man enjoys the best selection of variants, exemplified by the masterful 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Its upcoming sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, has introduced another instant classic, Pavitr Prabhakar, the Spider-Man of Earth-50101.
