In every universe, Peter Parker stands for heroism and responsibility. Except for one. In my world, the name Peter Parker puts fear in the hearts of everyone who hears it.

Wolf Spider

History

At an unknown time in his universe, Wolf Spider gained spider-like powers, but unlike most other realities' Peter Parkers, he became a villain, remorselessly killing his universe's Miles Morales and everyone else who stood for heroism and responsibility.

After finding a shard of the Siege Perilous, he traveled through dimensions to find the rest. One of these dimensions was Blood Spider's homeworld, where he allied himself with the Lizard King. After turning almost everyone into vampires, his and the Lizard King's plan to block out the sun so that the vampires could roam the Earth was thwarted by Spider-Man, Kid Arachnid, and Blood Spider - who assumed he was a vampire due to his superhuman abilities. This assumption was proven incorrect after everyone had been cured of vampirism, and Wolf Spider revealed that he, like Peter and Miles, was looking for the shards.[1]

Wolf Spider's combat form

Wolf Spider next arrived at the universe set in the Wild West, but was run out of town by Sheriff Doc Ock Holiday and Phantom Rider.[2] After this, he next encountered Peter and Miles again at Miles' home reality, where he kidnapped Miles's mother so he could trade her for the shards of the Siege Perilous they had. During the ensuing fight, Miles noticed his shard was glowing, and Wolf Spider revealed that he had all of the remaining shards. With the help of Spider-Woman, Spider-Man managed to fully reconstruct the Siege Perilous, but the police arrived. Before they could apprehend Wolf Spider, he managed to escape and later attacked Miles's home, revealing himself as an evil version of Peter Parker and taking the Siege Perilous.[3]

Spider-Man, Kid-Arachnid, and Spider-Woman followed him into an underground cave where it was revealed he had ensnared all the other Spiders from different dimensions and was absorbing their life-forces through the Web of Reality. Wolf Spider started fighting them, succeeding in absorbing their life-forces and powers. However, his lust for power got the better of him, as he was unable to contain the life-forces of multiple Spider-Totems and shattered into pieces, releasing the stolen life-forces.[3]

Personality

Wolf Spider was cold and ruthless, obsessed with gathering the shards of the Siege Perilous, and seemed to have a grudge against Spider-Man and Miles Morales. Wolf Spider has a tendency to constantly never stop talking, a trait that's most common amongst every other version of Peter Parker in the multiverse as Spider-Gwen puts it.[3]
