With his universal popularity in [[ComicBook/SpiderMan comics]], [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan cartoons]], [[VideoGame/SpiderMan video games]] and blockbuster movies, imitations are inevitable. They are often an AnimalThemedSuperbeing painted in [[PrimaryColorChampion primary colors]]. They are usually [[KidHero Kid Heroes]] (ranging from adolescents to teen-hood) that [[HeroWithBadPublicity everybody hates for one contrived reason or another]]. Whether it is due to [[BornUnlucky rotten luck]], [[HumansAreMorons human idiocy]] or if it is because they like to [[IShallTauntYou taunt]] and [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] non-stop is anyone's guess. They typically have the basic ComboPlatterPowers; SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, SuperToughness and have a fast way to travel, ranging from {{Flight}} to BuildingSwing, usually received by some irradiated animal that bit them.

Compare with the other CaptainErsatz[=/=]{{Expy}} StockParodies including BatmanParody, WolverineWannabe, CaptainPatriotic, WonderWomanWannabe, TheFantasticFaux and SupermanSubstitute. Drop the "man" part and look through ArachnidTropes.

What's more, is that he's a college student, lives in a shanty like dwelling where his partners freeload at constantly, and usually is a ButtMonkey as much as Peter is.

* As ''Film/SuperheroMovie'' derives most of its plot from the Film/SpiderManTrilogy, the main character Rick Riker, A.K.A. the Dragonfly, is a deliberate {{Parody}} of [[Creator/TobeyMaguire Tobey Maguire's]] interpretation of Spider-Man. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, gains his powers from a genetically altered bug, he can climb on walls, has enhanced reflexes, super-strength, invulnerability and is picked on by ''literally everyone'' for no real reason. In a case of HilariousInHindsight, Rick was played by Creator/DrakeBell, who went on to [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 actually voice Spider-Man]].

* Joel Stein/the Splotch in ''TabletopGame/HaltEvilDoer'' is Spidey with CastingAShadow powers. He's a shy nerd as Joel and a wisecracker as Splotch, fights crime due to a tragedy in his past (his brother used the [[RingOfPower Shadow Ring]] as Ink, until he was crippled), is constantly denigrated by the media (in a twist, the J. Jonah Jameson figure is his dad, who runs a TV news station that attacks Splotch, and of course has no idea that this is Joel), and can generate "strands" of shadow to capture villains or swing around the city. His costume looks very much like Symbiote-Spidey, and his enemies include Dr. Necros, a MadScientist with a "hydra suit" of four snapping arms (Dr Octopus); his EvilCounterpart Stain, who has the same abilities but none of the responsibility (Venom); and Bloodstain, who's Stain only AxCrazy (Carnage).
