Peter Parker
Voiced by: Rino Romano
Appearances: Spider-Man Unlimited | Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Our hero, Peter Parker was once bitten by a radioactive spider and gain the abilities of a spider. After refusing to stop a thief, said thief killed his Uncle Ben, teaching Peter that great power comes with great responsibility and he's vowed to become a superhero.
At the start of the series, he's blamed by J. Jonah Jameson after Venom and Carnage hijack his son John's shuttle, the Solaris I on its mission to Counter-Earth. Upon learning that John is still alive, Peter vows to help him and takes the Solaris II to Counter-Earth.
- Adaptational Badass: Not that Spider-Man wasn't badass before, but this Spider-Man is less of a freestyle jokester and more of a straight fighter thanks to his high-tech suit.
- Aloof Ally: To the Resistance. They know he'd never betray them to the High Evolutionary or abandon them to save himself, but they also know it takes a lot to convince him to take part in a mission.
- Alternate Self: He eventually joins the Spider-Society in Across the Spider-Verse, with the film featuring several different versions of himself such as one from Earth-67, Earth-1048, Earth-13122, Earth-26496, Earth-96283 and Earth-120703. He counterpart from Earth-199999 is also mentioned.
- Back for the Dead: Sort of, as a version of this Peter is killed by Daemos at the beginning of Spider-Verse.note
- Back from the Dead: Like the rest of Morlun's victims, this alternate version is revived when Silk cuts Morlun with the Totem Dagger in End of the Spider-Verse.
- Badass Cape: The new suit sports a cape similar to the one on Miguel O'Hara.
- Composite Character: He sports a similar buzzcut to Ben Reilly and the reddish-brown color and Badass Cape of Miguel O'Hara.
- Clear My Name: One of the reasons for going to Counter-Earth in the first place is because Spider-Man was blamed for the actions of Venom and Carnage.
- Deadpan Snarker: Dear Lord! He snarks so much that it is a wonder his allies do not find him annoying.
- Faking the Dead: He'd planned on retiring as Spidey as it was presumed that Spider-Man died following a building collapse, but when John's message was transmitted he rethought this.
- It's All My Fault: The other reason for his trip is, as usual for Peter, blaming himself for his failure to stop Venom and Carnage in the first place.
- Henshin Hero: This version of Spider-Man is portrayed more as such, having his suit stored as nanobots in his Transformation Trinket-like watch, which gets deployed to form around his body when he activates it.
- Heroic Neutral: Spider-Man wants nothing to do with the Resistance's battle against the High Evolutionary and only wants to return home, but frequently finds himself dragged into the conflict.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Big-time, given Jameson blames him for the shuttle going off-course, a fireman mistakes Spider-Man pushing him out of the way for an attack, and his actions on Counter-Earth are frowned upon by the High Evolutionary.
- Invisibility Cloak: A feature of the new suit, though using it for long periods tends to overheat it.
- Kleptomaniac Hero: It's strongly implied that the nanotech suit was stolen from Reed Richards's lab. Additionally, he swiped the Solaris II to get to Counter-Earth.
- My Greatest Failure: Uncle Ben, though the origin is only seen in the opening credits.
- Only Sane Man: He keeps the Enemy Mine in "Deadly Choices" from falling apart, reminding both sides of how they have to put their differences on hold to save countless lives.
- Powered Armor: His suit is made up of nanites stolen from Mr. Fantastic and flashes with Tron Lines whenever he puts it on, but he still manually has to change web cartridges.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Spider-Man does his best to be adamantly indifferent to the plight of humanity on Counter-Earth; all he really cares about is dragging John home so he can force J. Jonah Jameson to call off his bounty on him.
- Transformation Horror: The High Evolutionary hits him with a beam meant to turn him into a Bestial, briefly changing him into Man-Spider.
- Wild Card: He's viewed this way by the masses (human and Beastial alike), as he doesn't take an active role in the fight for Counter-Earth. Most aren't even sure if he's a super-powered human or a Beastial gone rogue.
Supporting Cast
Naoko Yamada-Jones
Dr. Naoko Yamada-Jones
Voiced by: Akiko Morison
A single mother and doctor who Peter lives with during his stay on Counter-Earth.
- Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: After her clinic was damaged in a battle between Spidey and the symbiotes, she turned on Spidey and blamed him for it.
- Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: She is friendly with Peter Parker, but when her clinic gets damaged by Peter's alter ego Spider-Man while he's battling Venom and Carnage, she turns against the wall crawler.
- Love Interests: Peter starts developing feelings for her and vice versa, contributing to his guilt over having abandoned MJ. The fact that Naoko's jealous ex is watching over his family from the shadows doesn't help matters.
- Heroic Neutral: While not a member of the Resistance itself, she's not against aiding them when they're injured.
- Ungrateful Bastard: She was initially OK with Spider-Man due to him saving her and Shane, but after a battle with Venom and Carnage destroyed her home and clinic, she blamed him for the destruction.
Shane Yamada-Jones
Shane Yamada-Jones
Voiced by: Rhys Huber
Naoko's son, whom Peter saved from a malfunctioning Machine Man.
Mr. Meugniot
Mr. Meugniot
Voiced by: Gary Chalk
Peter's boss at the Daily Byte while he's on Counter-Earth.
- Expy: Many of his mannerisms are identical to J. Jonah Jameson, causing Peter to snakily ask if he can call Mr. Meugniot "JJ".
- Paparazzi: And unapologetic about it, too. Unlike Jameson, who despite his anti-superhero prejudices cares for the truth, Meugniot accepts and is okay with running a tabloid. Case in point, he sends Peter out to get photos not of Spider-Man fighting crime, but of his private life.
- Tuckerization: He's named after producer Will Meugniot.
The Resistance
In General
- Dark and Troubled Past: John was experimented on and capable of changing into a wolf-like form, Karen is (unknowingly) the High Evolutionary's granddaughter and was experimented on by him, Git was likewise experimented on by Sir Ram, Bromley lost his family and their bakery to the High Evoultionary's takeover of the planet when he was a kid, and X-51 is an older model of the Machine Men who was planned to be destroyed because he gained sentience and empathy.
- La Résistance: They're fighting for humans to have equal rights as Beastials.
John Jameson
John Jameson
Voiced by: John Payne, Scott McNeil (as Man-Wolf)
The son of newspaper editor J. Jonah Jameson, it's his trip to Counter-Earth that kicks off the plot of the series, as Venom and Carnage hijack it to go to the planet, Peter gets blamed for the shuttle disappearance, and it's his message for help that motivates Peter to go takes the Solaris II to Counter Earth. While on Counter-Earth, John has become the leader of a resistance movement against the High Evolutionary.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: His Man-Wolf form here is the result of experiments the High Evolutionary performed on him and happens every time he gets angry as opposed to finding a powerful gemstone on the moon.
- Beast Man: This show was the first time John's Man-Wolf form has appeared outside of the comics.
- The Leader: After being captured by the High Evolutionary, experimented on, and escaping, he becomes the leader of the Resistance.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Like his other counterparts, he can transform into Man-Wolf. But in this incarnation, the transformation is due to the High Evolutionary trying to find a way to turn humans into Beastials.
Karen O'Malley
Karen O'Malley
Voiced by: Kim Hawthorne
A member of the Resistance and Love Interest for John Jameson.
- Badass Abnormal: She was augmented in the womb by the High Evolutionary, granting her mild superhuman abilities.
- Badass Longcoat: She is never seen without her trench coat.
- Bio-Augmentation: It's revealed that she was experimented on in-utero by her own grandfather, the man who became the High Evolutionary, giving her superhuman strength, speed, agility, and unerring accuracy with firearms.
- Love Interest: While early episodes tease her being attracted to Spider-Man, she becomes one for John.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: While he doesn't directly tell her, she's the High Evolutionary's granddaughter.
- Older Than They Look: She looks to be in her early to mid-twenties but was a child when the High Evolutionary took over the planet, putting her in her mid to late thirties.
Daniel Bromely
Daniel Bromley
Voiced by: Christopher Gaze
One of the few Resistance fighters who's old enough to remember the time before the High Evolutionary's takeover of the planet. He lost his family and their bakery during the takeover.
- Cain and Abel: He had hoped for a joyful reunion with his Not Quite Dead brother, but to his shock, Durwood is perfectly content to work for the Beastials and to sell him out for a promotion. The brothers end up fighting it out, with Durwood taking a plunge.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Unlike a lot of his fellows, he was around before the High Evolutionary took over. He survived the resulting war; most of his family did not.
- Freudian Excuse: The loss of his family left him with a burning hatred of Beastials.
- I Did What I Had to Do: After the Knights capture him, he sells Spidey out for a chance to see his brother again. However, he later saves Spidey from being tortured.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: "Matters of the Heart" ended with his reunion with his brother, Durwood, turning sour as Durwood sold out Bromley and Spidey for a promotion.
Git Hoskins
Git Hoskins
Voiced by: N/A
A member of the resistance who was experimented on as a child by Sir Ram.- Ambiguously Human: While he was originally human, it's unclear exactly what he's become after Sir Ram's experiments.
- Dark and Troubled Past: He was a homeless, orphaned child when Sir Ram abducted him to use as a test subject. He eventually escaped, but he became ostracized for what the experiment turned him into, leaving him on his own for years.
- Harmful to Minors: He was experimented on as a child by Sir Ram.
- Mummy: His appearance invokes this, due to him being completely wrapped in, and possibly composed of, bandages.
- Mummy Wrap: Has this ability thanks to Sir Ram's experiments.
- Tragic Keepsake: His lunchbox was a gift from his parents, and one of the things he keeps in it is a photo of him receiving it. It's all he has of that time of his life.
- The Voiceless: He doesn't talk.
X- 51
X-51
Voiced by: Dale Wilson
An older model of Machine Men, X-51 joined the Human Resistance after the Knights tried to destroy him when he grew beyond his programming.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: In the comics, Machine Man's origins were tied to the comic version of 2001: A Space Odyssey. This version was created as one of the High Evolutionary's Mecha-Mooks.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Knights didn't expect him to gain sentience or empathy, and tried to destroy him and study him.
- Mecha-Mooks: An earlier version of the Machine Men that enforced the High Evolutionary's will.
- The Mole: The Resistance rebuild him with the appearance of the current model of Machine Men in order for him to help them in Beastial complexes.
Allies
Green Goblin
Hector Jones
Voiced by: Rino Romano
The estranged husband of Naoko and father of Shane, who left them to fight against the High Evolutionary.
- Adaptational Heroism: The original Green Goblin was an Ax-Crazy Mad Bomber who was by far Spider-Man's worst Arch-Enemy; this Goblin, while he's not (and probably because he's not) Norman Osborn, serves as a genuine ally to Spidey whose worst trait is that he's a...
- Aloof Ally: He and Spider-Man have a very rocky relationship, getting into fights both times they encounter each other. Spider-Man admits they could've been friends had they gotten to know and trust each other better.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Hector is insanely possessive of Naoko and Shane, installing spy cameras around their house and calling frequently to argue with her over welcoming another man into the house — and this is after he walked out on them. He even attacks Peter as the Goblin in an attempt to scare him away.
- Creepy Good: While more than a little creepy, he establishes himself as a hero and ally to Spider-Man, and does all he can to keep his family safe.
- Dashing Hispanic: When not wearing his monstrous costume, he's a very handsome and charming Spanish man, and he's clearly passionately in love with Naoko.
- Dramatic Irony: Only the viewers learn his true identity, with Spider-Man, Naoko, and others being completely in the dark.
- Foil: To Spider-Man. He's a wise-cracking costumed hero on the most wanted list, but he primarily relies on engineering skills rather than super powers. He also makes more of an effort to fight against the High Evolutionary's tyranny.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He built his Goblin suit and weapons himself, and his skill as an engineer was what drew the attention of the Resistance.
- Giving Them the Strip: And lampshaded, too, as he noted no other hero would what he was about to do to ditch a Blob Monster connected to Venom and Carnage that had him by the legs—take off his pants. Granted, the man was wearing boxers and his costume underneath, but he was still right.
- Hero of Another Story: His costumed exploits have not gone unnoticed among the High Evolutionary's forces. He's a wanted fugitive as much as Spider-Man is.
- Let's You and Him Fight: He picks a fight with Spider-Man twice, first due to assuming he was one of the High Evolutionary's minions, and the second time in an attempt to drive him away from Naoko.
- Noodle Incident: He spent some time in the Resistance as his civilian self before striking out on his own as a masked hero. A brief flashback shows he worked directly with Git and Bromley.
Vulture
Vulture
Voiced by: Scott McNeil
A human who lived in the upper world and joined Beastials in tormenting humans until his family's housekeeper and her son, who was his best friend, lost their home in a fire he and the Beastials started. From then on, he vowed to atone for his actions and protect humans from the cruelty of Beastials.
- The Atoner: The reason for his actions is to atone for how he treated humans in the past, after his actions resulted in his best friend and his family losing their home.
- My Greatest Failure: He didn't know his pals wanted to set fire to a human shelter, but after finding out, he didn't have the nerve to protest or refuse, so he joined right in. Seeing his best friend lived in the building and saw what he did, he resolved to make Counter-Earth a better place for humans.
- Spoiled Brat: By his own admission, he was a privileged brat that got to enjoy the perks in the Upper World, while others he knew were stuck in the Basement slum.
Wundagore
High Evolutionary
Herbert Wyndham
Voiced by: Richard Newman
The dictator of Counter Earth, a tyrant who keeps humans oppressed under the heel of his creations, the Bestials.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: He experimented on John Jameson, being the cause of this incarnation's Man-Wolf form. Additionally, the show's incarnation of X-51 started off as an earlier model of his Mecha-Mooks.
- Adaptational Villainy: Similar to his portrayals in other adaptations. In the comics, he's typically an Anti-Villain and Well-Intentioned Extremist who genuinely wants to make the world a better place; he just goes about it in a way that leads to conflict with assorted Marvel heroes. He typically has no real issue with the heroes, anyway, being quite Affably Evil and even lending his scientific expertise when asked. In this show, he retains the desire for perfection and a better world, but he goes about it by being a vicious overlord and freely considering everyone (even his own minions if need be) expendable. His ambitions come across more as satisfying his own ego than anything else. He graduates to full-on Omnicidal Maniac at one point.
- Adaptational Wimp: Subverted. In the comics, the High Evolutionary possesses an array of powers that make him a handful even for powerhouses like Thor and the Hulk. For most of this show, he's just standing around and barking orders like any typical overlord, giving the impression he lacks powers and fighting ability. "Matters of the Heart" demonstrates otherwise, as he effortlessly curb-stomps Spider-Man at every turn. Spidey only survives this and following fights through sheer luck and quick thinking.
- Bad Boss: In typical fashion, he tends to berate his lackeys for their failures and threaten them.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Tyrannical autocrat and hypocritical misanthrope he may be, but once the High Evolutionary recognizes Karen O'Malley as his long-lost granddaughter he has her spared from being tortured by Sir Ram and is distracted from his duties by his memories of the rest of his family... though he plans on forcibly turning her into a Bestial to "perfect" her. When she begs him to let her and Spider-Man go, he agrees to wait until she is ready to willingly undergo the procedure and allows them to leave—though he warns Spider-Man that he will suffer.
- Evilutionary Biologist: He engineered the New Men, better known as Bestials, to supplant humans as the dominant species of Counter Earth, and thirty years prior to the start of the series carried out a coup d'état that established him as a dictator.
- Faux Affably Evil: He can be soft-spoken and suave, such as issuing a public broadcast to Counter-Earth's human populace with "Good evening" and assuring the "frightened and confused" among them that his actions in forcibly rounding up all the human civilians was done to hunt down the rebels and Spider-Man... before declaring that he's ordering the Knights of Wundagore to systematically wipe out all the human neighbourhoods building by building until the rebels surrender.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Before becoming a tyrant clad in ridiculous armor, he was a relatively ordinary man with a genius-level intellect specializing in genetics. After becoming disgusted with humankind, he created the Bestials and declared war on his own species, conquering all of Counter-Earth.
- Hand Blast: He can fire blasts of green energy from his hands.
- Hypocrite: While not called on it, he's a human who despises other humans. Additionally, he overlooks that the Beastials display the same traits he claims to despise in humans.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: While he doesn't tell her, he's Karen's grandfather.
- Mad Scientist: He likes to experiment on lifeforms.
- Mind over Matter: He wields telekinesis.
- Misanthrope Supreme: Despite being a human himself, he sees normal humans as being inferior to the Bestials he created.
- Moral Myopia: He tends to overlook that everything he hates in humanity are present in the Beastials, including the Knights.
- Multiple-Choice Past: He claims to have emigrated from Earth after having become disgusted with mankind's decadence, but later episodes reveal he was a more-or-less normal guy already living on Counter-Earth before he experimented on his granddaughter and was kicked to the curb by his family.
- Older Than They Look: Downplayed; although he does look like an older man, thanks to his white hair, he notes in the second episode that he came to Counter-Earth roughly 50 years ago, and as that would put him somewhere in his 80s at the youngest, he looks to be in fantastic shape.
- Omnicidal Maniac: The finale sees him go off the deep end to rid himself of the Resistance, Spider-Man, the symbiotes, and ultimately humanity as a whole.
- Professor Guinea Pig: Implied; given that he's a genius geneticist who displays powerful psychic abilities, and that he experimented on his own granddaughter, it's logical to presume he's given himself some genetic upgrades.
- Rogues' Gallery Transplant: In the comics, the High Evolutionary originally appeared as a villain to The Mighty Thor, before becoming an Avengers villain and has clashed with a few other superheroes as well. Here, he's the Big Bad of a Spider-Man story.
- Scary Impractical Armor: Contrasting the futuristic Counter Earth, he dresses like a medieval fantasy tyrant, wearing a blue-tinted black tunic, red surcoat, and huge spike-studded shoulder and knee pads.
- Villainous Breakdown: The final episode starts with the High Evolutionary ranting about how his enemies have taken advantage of his good nature and that he has been far too patient and lenient with them, but that the time has come to wipe them all out once and for all; rejecting Lord Tyger's suggestion of taking a gentler approach by shouting that his enemies will feel his wrath like never before.
- You Are What You Hate: He is very much human like the people he despises.
- You Have Failed Me: He threatens to execute Lady Ursula if she fails to stop Spider-Man, and kill Lord Tyger for protesting his intent to commit genocide on the human species.
- Villainous Breakdown: In the final episode he attempts to commit genocide on the entire human species, and when this is thwarted by Spider-Man he flies into a rage and blasts him into the ceiling—only being stopped from killing him by the Green Goblin.
The Knights of Wundagore
Lord Tyger, Sir Ram, Lady Vermin and Lady Ursula
Voiced by: David Sobolov (Lord Tyger), Ron Halder (Sir Ram), Jennifer Hale (Lady Vermin), Tasha Simms (Lady Ursula)
The Knights of Wundagore are the elite guard of the High Evolutionary on Counter-Earth and are comprised entirely of bestials.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Lady Vermin has the hots for Spider-Man. Even ignoring he's got a wife waiting for him on Earth, the concept of dating a rat woman? Unappealing for Peter.
- Adaptational Badass: In the comics, Lady Vermin wasn't quite as evolved as her kinsmen, still resembling a normal mouse and needing a jetpack to help keep up with them. Here, she's as evolved as the rest of them.
- Arch-Enemy: Sir Ram is on both sides of one-sided examples. Git absolutely loathes Sir Ram for experimenting on him, even resorting to a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown once. Sir Ram remembers him all too well, but since they don't encounter each other that much onscreen, he doesn't have anywhere near the same personal stake that Git does. On the other hand, Sir Ram grows to positively hate Spider-Man for repeated failures and defeats, while Spidey is (as ever) flippant about him and views Venom as a personal enemy.
- Back for the Dead: Much like Spidey, an alternate version of the Knights are killed by Daemos in Spider-Verse.
- Beast Man: They're mutated animals — Lord Tyger is a tiger, Lady Vermin is a rat, Sir Ram is a ram, and Lady Ursula is a bear.
- Blood Knight: Lady Ursula has admitted she looks forward to the chance for a one-on-one fight with Spider-Man.
- Co-Dragons: They're the chief enforcers for the High Evolutionary, flying around the city on horse-shaped flying motorcycles.
- Cute Monster Girl: Lady Vermin is considerably more attractive than her character concept of 'evil rat-woman Abhorrent Admirer named Lady Vermin' might lead you to believe, resembling an elegantly beautiful grey-skinned elf more than a rat. Lady Ursula is a little more animalistic in appearance (with round, furry ears and a bear-like nose), but still far from ugly.
- Death Glare: When the High Evolutionary tells him to shut up and refuses to let him interrogate Karen O'Malley, Sir Ram levels a furious glare at his master's back.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Lord Tyger is a loyal soldier in the regime, but he expresses disappointment with the High Evolutionary's extremes and outright revulsion to Sir Ram's depravity.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: Despite being the High Evolutionary's top enforcers, they occasionally have amicable interactions with Spider-Man and the Resistance, only to go back to trying to kill each other the following day.
- Hypocrite: Much like their master, for all of their boasting about their superiority, they tend to overlook the obvious facts that one: many of the Beastials (the Knights included) exhibit the same flaws that the High Evolutionary despises in humans and two: their master is himself human.
- It's Personal: Sir Ram develops an intense hatred of Spider-Man for repeatedly thwarting his plans and humiliating him, attempting to kill him several times despite the High Evolutionary wanting him captured alive.
- Mad Scientist: Sir Ram shares this trait with the High Evolutionary.
- Punny Name: Lord Tyger is a tiger, Lady Vermin is a rat, Sir Ram is a male sheep, and Lady Ursula is a bear.
- Noble Top Enforcer: Lord Tyger, unlike the rest of the Knights, does have some sympathy for humans.
- Paper Tiger: Sir Ram looks like he's the worst fighter of the group, relying more on his technology to be a threat. Git easily beats him up with Sir Ram only screaming in pain and not trying to defend himself despite his large and muscular frame. For their part, the rest of the knights are better fighters than he is, as they are more direct in fighting than Sir Ram is.
- The Starscream: It's implied Sir Ram secretly plots to usurp his creator, the High Evolutionary, as seen by his conducting secret experiments in mutation, which produce creatures like Firedrake. He also once tried to turn a captured Spider-Man into a mind-controlled puppet. It's never said outright who he was going to set Spidey loose on, but he was explicitly attempting this without the knowledge of his superiors. He's also seething when the High Evolutionary stops him from torturing Karen O'Malley, glaring furiously at his creator's back.
- Token Good Teammate: Lord Tyger, who unlike his cohorts (especially Sir Ram), doesn't get his jollies off the suffering of others. The rebels even thought of him as the most reasonable of the Knights.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Despite Spider-Man saving him several times, Sir Ram never once shows gratitude, and only becomes more hateful towards Spider-Man.
- Unexplained Accent: Lady Ursula has a Russian accent despite having been created in a parallel version of New York.
- Villains Out Shopping: Lord Tyger spends his screentime in "Matters of the Heart" watching a simple sporting event. He outright expresses annoyance with Sir Ram and the rebels interrupting his time off with the usual business.
- Villainesses Want Heroes: Lady Vermin expresses a romantic attraction to Spider-Man, who exploits this a few times despite being disgusted and creeped out.
- We ARE Struggling Together: While they both follow the High Evolutionary's orders, Sir Tyger and Sir Ram increasingly dislike each other, largely due to the former's strong sense of honor and nobility.
- Would Hurt a Child: Sir Ram experimented on Git as a kid.
The Machine Men
The Machine Men
Voiced by: Dale Wilson
The enforcers of the Knights.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: A lone surviving drone of an earlier model became the show's version of X-51.
- Mecha-Mooks: They work for the High Evolutionary and the Knights to enforce their will.
Symbiotes
In General
- Achilles' Heel: As ever, sonics cause them no end of fits. Spider-Man's new suit comes specifically equipped with sonics to help fend them off. Towards the end of the season, the High Evolutionary's forces develop their own kind of sonic weapon, and it proves most effective.
- Adaptational Badass: Even when bonded to Brock and Kasady, Venom and Carnage are full-on Blob Monsters akin to the T-1000.
- Big Bad Ensemble: Venom and Carnage had this dynamic with the High Evolutionary.
- The Bad Guy Wins: The symbiotes succeed in unleashing the Synoptic in the show's final episode.
- Blob Monster: They can become completely amorphous, a power implied to have been conferred on them by the Synoptic.
- Co-Dragons: Venom and Carnage are this for the Synoptic, operating as a team. Occasionally they work for the High Evolutionary, but always with the intent of furthering the Synoptic's goal of conquering Counter-Earth.
- Fusion Dance: Venom and Carnage merge together to fight Spider-Man in Episode 11.
- Royal "We": They refer to themselves in plural terms. While this is a staple of Venom, this is unusual for Carnage.
- Spikes of Villainy: Venom has two rows of spikes on his back in place of a spider emblem and Carnage is studded with bony spikes.
- Took a Level in Badass: Spider-Man fought them multiple times before the first episode, but on the shuttle, they both demonstrate Blob Monster powers that he's never seen before. They credit it to the Synoptic's Super-Empowering. Spidey gets knocked off the shuttle in part because he's completely unprepared for it.
- Villain of Another Story: The flashback in "One is the Loneliest Number" highlights how Spider-Man had multiple encounters with both of them before the events of the series.
Venom
Eddie Brock
Voiced by: Brian Drummond
Appearances: Spider-Man Unlimited | Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse[[non-speaking]]
A former reporter at the Daily Bugle, Eddie Brock bonded to the Venom symbiote after Peter rejected it. Along with Carnage, he hijacks the Solaris I to go to Counter-Earth to help the Synoptic, a hive mind for the symbiote, take over the planet.
- Adaptational Villainy: Earth-616 Venom would never have willingly worked with Carnage and even refused to be part of a symbiote invasion's Assimilation Plot. This Venom? Not so much, given he's working with Carnage to help symbiotes take over Counter-Earth.
- Arch-Enemy: To Spider-Man and the feeling is mutual, after a history of fighting each other. Even when temporarily separated from the symbiote and softening towards others, Eddie is antagonistic and bitter towards his old foe to the very end. Though agreeing to save Eddie's life, Peter has no problem admitting how much he loathes him for all the trouble he's caused as Venom.
- The Cameo: He makes a brief Freeze Frame Cameo in Across the Spider-Verse when Miguel O'Hara is describing Canon Events, with his image appearing along with other examples of the Venom symbiote across the multiverse.
- Can't Live Without You: Eddie's spent so long bonded to the symbiote that he can't live without it.
- Co-Dragons: Venom and Carnage are the co-agents for the Synoptic.
- Evil Redhead: Unlike the mainstream Eddie, this version is a redhead.
- Heel–Face Turn: As he's dying, Eddie apologizes for all the harm he's caused. Unfortunately, the symbiote's brief reunion with Spider-Man didn't make it any more sympathetic towards humanity and it goes right back to serving the Synoptic after retaking Eddie.
- Puppeteer Parasite: The symbiote is in complete control of Eddie's body.
- Religion of Evil: He and Carnage worship the Synoptic, an Eldritch Abomination formed from the fused corpses of millions of ancient symbiotes.
- Rubber Man: Venom can stretch and freely elongate his limbs.
- Sibling Team: Carnage and Venom refer to each other as brothers and are almost always found together.
- Stalker with a Crush: Displayed less often than usual, but the symbiote does briefly display this attitude towards Spider-Man in the 2nd episode when it tries to re-bond with him.
- Venom: "Yield, Spider-Man, yield to the Synoptic! You and I shall merge and be one, as it always should have been!"
- Tiny-Headed Behemoth: He possesses an almost comically small head atop a Hulk-sized body.
- Voice of the Legion: Venom's voice is deep and distorted.
Carnage
Cletus Kasady
- Voiced by: Michael Donovan
Cletus Kasady was a criminal locked in the same prison as Venom, another symbiote spawned from Venom and bonded itself to Kasady, making him Carnage. Along with Venom, he hijacks the Solaris I to go to Counter-Earth to help the Synoptic, a hive mind for the symbiote, take over the planet.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: While Carnage is still rather wicked, he prefers to Take Over the World rather than to just kill as many people as he can For the Evulz; that and it's his symbiote that's mainly in control to begin with.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Kasady is depicted with blond hair, when he had red hair in the comics.
- Co-Dragons: Carnage and Venom are the co-agents for the Synoptic.
- Dem Bones: Carnage's appearance is very skeletal, he has bony protrusions all over his body, and he forms bone armor when merged with Venom.
- Fusion Dance: He and Venom merge together to fight Spider-Man.
- Inconsistent Spelling: The Disney+ subtitles spell his last name as "Cassidy" rather than "Kasady".
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: More like "Lantern Jaw of ''Injustice", but Carnage has a very protuberant chin.
- Lean and Mean: He's very tall, very thin, and very nasty.
- Les Collaborateurs: While Eddie Brock undergoes a Heel–Face Turn thanks to Naoko and Spider-Man—necessitating the Venom symbiote forcibly seize control of him, Cletus Kasady remains firmly on the side of the Synoptic even when separated from his symbiote.
- Puppeteer Parasite: The symbiote is in complete control.
- Sibling Team: Carnage and Venom refer to each other as brothers and are almost always found together.
- Skeletons in the Coat Closet: The red and black markings of his symbiote highlight where his bones are. In the comics, he has white bony projections covering his ribs.
- Shoulders of Doom: Part of Carnage's design involves bony spikes all over his body—including his shoulders.
- Spikes of Villainy: He has bony protrusions all over his body
- You Don't Look Like You: He looks nothing like his comic book counterpart and other versions beyond being red and black. Unlike the rest of the villains in the show, this isn't justified by this being a different incarnation, as this is the same Carnage Peter met and fought on Earth.
The Synoptic
The Synoptic
An entity formed from the fused corpses of millions of ancient symbiotes that had lived during the time of the dinosaurs.
- Big Bad Ensemble: The Synoptic is a borderline Eldritch Abomination formed from the amalgamated corpses of Counter Earth's symbiotes, and seeks to conquer the planet like it had in the time of the dinosaurs. This, naturally, conflicts with the High Evolutionary, who already rules Counter Earth and wants to stamp out the human resistance.
- Blob Monster: Unlike all the other symbiotes on Counter Earth, the Synoptic is amorphous — giving it a greater resemblance to Venom and Carnage than its progeny.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Spider-Man only encounters the Synoptic in one episode and doesn't appear to even know what it is, but it is the one ordering Venom and Carnage around, and it's indirectly responsible for Spidey traveling to Counter-Earth.
- Green and Mean: It's green in color, which causes the Goblin to refer to it as a snot monster.
- Mind Hive: It has the combined consciousness of the millions of symbiotes that comprise it, effectively making it a Hive Mind for Venom, Carnage, and its offspring.
- Mother of a Thousand Young: The Synoptic continuously spawns insectoid Symbiotes, which it has charged Venom and Carnage with finding hosts for.
- Religion of Evil: Venom and Carnage worship it as a deity, seeking to carry out its will.
- Super-Empowering: The Synoptic somehow contacted and augmented Venom and Carnage while they were still on Earth, granting them enhanced shapeshifting abilities and the power to become completely amorphous.
- You Don't Look Like You: The symbiotes comprising and spawned by the Synoptic look nothing like those bonded to Venom and Carnage, being yellow insectoid creatures that cover their host in tumorous-looking growths and Tainted Veins, rather than amorphous creatures that cover their host in Bio-Armor.
