The recent Spider-Verse crossover brought together dozens, perhaps hundreds of Spider-totems from throughout the multiverse, including cartoon, video game and one-shot, long-forgotten Spider-Men. My personal fave-rave, for reasons both historical and kickassical, is Japanese Spider-Man, Takuya Yamashiro, whose powers come from hell, just like Tenacious D. (He’s also the reason why Super Sentai has giant robots, but that’s another story.) Still, I have to admit, seeing so many Spidery types together got me thinking about the Faithful Spoilerites’ favorite Spider-Man, leading to today’s radioactive-spider-blood query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) doesn’t know if they still use the Earth-616 designation, asking: Which Spider-Man/Woman/Child/Robot (who is NOT the prime universe Peter Parker) is your favorite Spider-Man?

Tie between Takuya Yamashiro and Miguel O’Hara.
But if I include a version of Peter who isn’t the main Marvel U version, I also have to mention the symbiote bonded skeleton of Peter from the What If? story “Secret Wars: 25 Years Later”. I just thought that was pretty messed up and would have loved to see his story expanded.
Skele-Venom would count, as that’s Earth-9811…
‘hooo boy, this is a tough one. I like sci fi stories, so I’ll go with 2099 this time.
Spider-ham
You are going to dislike me for this one… but The superior spiderman was fantastic. doc ock is very much not peter parker while playing him and I felt the layer of depth of him trying to do the right thing was while still being a arrogant heel was the freshest take I had seen that felt solid in along time (since 2099).
The fact that he got his “stuff” together and made being a spiderman work for him to the extent that real peter is in better place now for doc having “killed” him.
I would have to say Miles Morales for me. I didn’t get a chance to read a ton of his earlier stories, but I’ve been loving what he’s doing in The Champions a lot.
