Marvel reveals Spider-Man variants of Avengers, X-Men, and More

Marvel confirmed that a second volume of Edge of Spider-Versewould be published later this year, revealing even more alternate worlds with Spider-Man variants. The new series will offer stories focussing on the recent fan-favourite Spider-Rex, while also introducing new variants like Spider-Killer and more, but Marvel Spidey variants won’t stop there. To mark the occasion of the new series a slew of Spider-Verse variants will be published across Marvels other monthly titles, offering a look at what other Marvel heroes would look like if they were Spider-Man variants.

Featuring the likes of Captain Marvel, Moon Knight, Storm, and She-Hulk, these Spider-Verse variants are the kind of ‘What If...?’ scenario that Marvel loves to ponder. Nineteen of the variant covers were revealed by the publisher, with a handful of others confirmed for later including Immortal X-Men, Daredevil, Wolverine, Hulk, and Punisher. Out of those, both Daredevil and Punisher as Spidey variants seem like unique designs. So we are actually entering in the new Edge of Spider-Verse soon.
