History: (Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic#34 (fb) - BTS) - Bodega Bandit was an extradimensional being from Bodega Beyond, the Nexus of All Bodegas which connected all bodegas in the Multiverse. He and countless others Bodega Bandits were tasked with reminding people about the importance of bodegas and the inherently chaotic nature of life in the city by engaging in minor acts of robbery. This Bodega Bandit was born to protect the New York City bodegas on Earth-65.
(Spider-Gwen I#33 - Handbook Profile (fb)) - Bodega Bandit spent years robbing various New York establishments for their cheap food. Despite brandishing weapons and making threats, he was not known to ever use violence, causing bodega workers across the city to eventually grow unfazed by his robberies. His identity became a subject of speculation by Earth-65 New Yorkers, with various theories postulating him to be John Jameson III, a Watcher in disguise (or a man in league with them), or a singular entity manifesting as or remotely controlling all other Bandits, such as Mandripoor's Bento Bandit.
(Spider-Gwen I#1 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Bodega Bandit had run across the superhero Spider-Woman and decided himself to be her arch-nemesis.
(Spider-Gwen I#1) - Spider-Woman, talking a phone, interrupted Bodega Bandit's robbery in progress. The Bandit pulled a knife on her, but she easily disarmed him and threw him into a dumpster, calling him the worst.
(Spider-Gwen I#4 (fb)) - Bodega Bandit stole a gaming arcade but was again stopped by Spider-Woman. A photo of their encounter was printed in the Daily Bugle.
(Spider-Gwen II#1) - Bodega Bandit and his dog sidekick Bandito robbed the Dollar Dog store for their corn dogs. As this was far from the first time, the owner -- Mr. Albie -- met the Bandit with nothing but a sense of bored resignation.
(Spider-Gwen II#1 - BTS) - Before they could leave, the Dollar Dog was attacked by the Lizard who trashed it and ate Bandito.
(Spider-Gwen II#1) - Bodega Bandit was crying over the loss of his friend in a dumpster, where he was found by Spider-Woman. He did not want to talk to her, but revealed that he had seen the Lizard.
(Spider-Gwen II#2) - Spider-Woman dressed Pine Cone, a hamster she had found while chasing the Lizard, in a bandit mask and hat and gifted it to the Bodega Bandit.
(Spider-Gwen II#6 - BTS) - Spider-Woman's father, George Stacy, kept the Daily Bugle photo of his daughter fighting the Bodega Bandit.
(Spider-Gwen II#7) - Bodega Bandit attempted to rob a grocery store where Earth-65 Spider-Woman was with her friends from Earth-616: Silk and Jessica Drew.

(Spider-Gwen II#9) - Bodega Bandit sat outside the Dollar Dog after it reopened under a new ownership.
(Spider-Gwen Annual I#1/5) - On a Saturday, Bodega Bandit robbed the Dollar Dog and was again chased by Spider-Woman.
(Spider-Gwen II#11) - Bodega Bandit stole burgers from the
Bucky Barns diner. Gwen Stacy, without her costume and currently without
her powers, saw him and told him to put everything back, but he did not
recognize her and was tackled by a diner worker.
Later, Bodega Bandit approached Gwen and asked why she cared about stopping him. Gwen asked the Bandit how he always managed to avoid jail, and he claimed that his influential father always told the police to let him go. The Bandit said that nobody except Spider-Woman ever truly cared about stopping him and offered Gwen the remaining burgers.
(Spider-Gwen II#12) - Bodega Bandit came to rob the Dollar Dog once again, only to find Gwen working the counter. Having too much to deal with in her life, she tossed him out without using her costume or powers.
(Spider-Gwen II#26) - Bodega Bandit robbed another grocery store where Gwen Stacy happened to be. She followed him outside and, as Venom, threatened him with her new symbiote powers. Bodega Bandit begged for his life, claiming that he did not want to live like this but could not stop, and Venom left him alone.
(Spider-Gwen II#33) - Bodega Bandit saw a news report about Gwen Stacy being charged with crimes for her actions as Spider-Woman.
(Spider-Gwen II#34) - After a year in prison, Gwen Stacy was released and resumed operating as Spider-Woman, her identity now public. Bodega Bandit wished her luck as she ran towards the sound of the sirens.
(Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider I#6) - Bodega Bandit was robbing Rob's Groceries for the sunflower seeds when Spider-Woman appeared and chastised him for involving Pine Cone in his crimes. She webbed his gun out of his hands and told him to run away.
(Ghost-Spider I#3) - Bodega Bandit himself became a victim of an armed robbery at Deli & Grocery. Gwen, now Ghost-Spider, intervened and disarmed the attackers, but Bodega Bandit was wounded.

This gave him the ability to travel to universes other than his own, and Bodega Bandit of Earth-65 decided to seek help from Ghost-Spider, who was now regularly traveling between Earth-65 and Earth-616.
(Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic#32) - To contact his nemesis, Bodega Bandit took a woman named Madison Tyler hostage inside a grocery and told the police that he wanted to talk to Ghost-Spider specifically.

(Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic#33) - Bodega Bandit went to Joe's Grocery, where Ghost-Spider found him after an encounter with Bodega Bandit-42477 on Earth-616.

Before he could explain everything, they were interrupted by the arrival of Bodega Bandit-42477 on Earth-65.
(Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic#34) - Nervous, Bodega Bandit told his counterpart that he was not supposed to be on Earth-65. The rogue Bandit responded by taunting him, saying that the two of them had unfinished business. Ghost-Spider threw a punch at Bodega Bandit-42477, but he vanished in a cloud of green smoke, causing Gwen to hit Bodega Bandit-65 instead. Bandit-42477 reappeared and lunged at Ghost-Spider with his razor-sharp nails, and Bandit-65 saved his nemesis by taking her through a cooler door into the Bodega Beyond. While Gwen was confused about what was going on, Bodega Bandit welcomed her to the home of the Bodega Bandits.
(Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic#35) - Ghost-Spider demanded answers, and Bodega Bandit explained to her the role that he and his fellow Bandits played across the Multiverse.

He thanked Gwen for her help, who agreed to promote him to her arch-nemesis and shook his hand before heading home.
(Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic#52 (fb)) - Miles Morales of Earth-1610 had a vision of Ghost-Spider fighting the Bodega Bandit while dealing with Kwaku Anansi.
Comments: Created by Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez.Bodega Bandit received a Handbook-ish profile in Spider-Gwen II#33, published before his true nature was revealed.
Originating from a dimension outside of any known universe, Bodega Bandit of Earth-65 is to be understood as Bodega Bandit operating on Earth-65 and not Bodega Bandit originating from Earth-65. The same also applies to all other Bandits.
With the revelation of Bodega Bandit's true origin, any mentions of his father are assumed to be part of his deception to keep his true nature secret on Earth-65.
The existence of Bento Bandit and She-Bodega Bandit indicates that Bodega Bandit is not the only Bandit operating on Earth-65. Other known Bandits are Bar-B-Que Bandit, Burger Bandit and Burrito Bandito. However, on Earth-616 Dave Freed, a regular man without any connection to Bodega Beyond, was also known as the Bodega Bandit, which makes the nature of the Bandits not seen within the Bodega Beyond questionable.
This profile was completed 10/17/2025, but its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25th anniversary 's celebratory event.
