History:
(Edge of Spider-Verse IV#1 / 3
(fb) - BTS) - Earth-2099's Spider-Man 2099 and Earth-616's Madame Web
discussed the hypothetical pros and cons of founding a Multiversal
group of Spider-themed heroes that they nicknamed the Spider-Society.
(Edge of Spider-Verse IV#1 / 3 - BTS / Web of Spider-Man III#1 / 9 (fb)
- BTS) - When she sensed a future event speeding towards the present
time and perhaps even already occurring, Madame Web summoned Spider-Man
2099 to Earth-616's New York, where she mentioned that it was time to
talk about actually starting the Spider-Society. Spider-Man 2099
questioned whether it had to be done now, as they were both still in
the pros and cons stage of creating the Spider-Society but Madame Web
warned that they may already be out of time based on what her
precognitive senses were telling her. She then explained that whatever
was coming would be targeting the most powerful Spider-totems and that
they needed to form the Spider-Society from Spider-heroes that the
threat would not expect. Commenting that they needed a Spider-Society
that the threat would never see coming, Madame Web suggested recruiting
Earth-982's Spider-Girl, Earth-616's Arana and Spider-Woman (Jessica
Drew), Earth-8311's Spider-Ham, Earth-65's Ghost-Spider, Earth-1610's
Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Earth-194's Night-Spider, Earth-138's
Spider-Punk, Earth-72's Weapon VIII, Earth-834's Spider-UK and
Earth-71490's Web-Weaver. Realizing that he could choose his own team
for the Spider-Society, Spider-Man 2099 passed on Spider-Ham and
questioned who Weapon VIII even was. Madame Web replied that Weapon
VIII was a long story and Spider-Man 2099 opted to copy profiles on
Madame Web's suggestions to review later and when Madame Web insisted
that time was something they didn't have, Spider-Man 2099 replied that
he understood the urgency and assured Madame Web that he would have his
choice of roster by the next morning. Madame Web explained that she
trusted Spider-Man 2099 to come up with the Spider-Society roster as he
promised and expressed concern that the threat she sensed was not
already present before departing. Spider-Man 2099 then monologued about
creating his own "fantasy football draft" for the Spider-Society before
he was attacked from the shadows by the Multiversal Sinister Squadron.
Once Spider-Man 2099 was down, the Squadron's Lady Octopus gloated
about how they had taken down one of the Spider-Society before the
group could even gather together. Earth-31's Kraven the Hunter-Spider
commented back that while the Spider-Society would nonetheless still
form, they would not stand a chance against them. The Squadron's Goblin
also chimed in that even a society would fall against an army.
(Web of Spider-Man III#1 / 9 - BTS) - After escaping
the Sinister Squadron, Spider-Man 2099 was pursued by the Squadron's
Goblin and while dodging the Goblin, Spider-Man 2099 thought back to
how he had gotten in the situation and how Madame Web had asked him to
choose the founding members of the Spider-Society. As he battled the
Goblin, Spider-Man 2099 continued to think of who he would like to
recruit into the proposed Spider-Society, with Earth-616's Arana first
coming to mind followed by Earth-616's Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew).
Thinking of Earth-8311's Spider-Ham, Spider-Man 2099 admitted to
himself his disbelief that Madame Web would have even suggested
Spider-Ham, though he wished for any help against the Goblin. He soon
realized he would need backup and attempted to escape, thinking that
perhaps he needed to get the Spider-Society up and running faster than
he initially thought.
(Edge of Spider-Verse IV#4 /
3 (fb) - BTS) - With
Spider-Man 2099 off the board, Madame Web tasked Earth-616's Arana to
continue the mission of gathering together the Spider-Society.
(Edge of Spider-Verse IV#4 / 3) - As part of her recruitment drive for the Spider-Society, Arana visited Earth-72, interrupting a battle between the spider-totem Weapon VIII and the Black Widow, who sought Weapon VIII for Russia. Helping defeat the Black Widow, Arana explained how a large threat was looming for all Multiversal spider-totems and how they needed as many spider-totems as possible to stop the threat, also revealing how Madame Web had tasked her with recruiting in Spider-Man 2099's absence. Despite both his handlers and the Black Widow trying to keep Weapon VIII from leaving the scene, Weapon VIII ultimately agreed to join Arana in an effort to make his own decisions and together, they departed Earth-72 to regroup with the rest of the Spider-Society.
(Spider-Boy I#9 (fb) - BTS) - The Spider-Society took
to basing themselves out of the Simms Building in Earth-616's New York.
(Spider-Boy I#9) - Feeling as if his prior existence
being forgotten was becoming a serious problem, the young Spider-Boy of
Earth-616 visited Arana at the Spider-Society's headquarters and begged
for her to fix the problem of him being forgotten. Arana explained that
the Spider-Society was currently helping another spider-hero at the
moment but nonetheless asked what the problem was. When
Spider-Boy claimed that Arana had restored his existence
incorrectly before, causing his prior existence to be forgotten, Madame
Web showed Spider-Boy a glimpse of the Multiverse and all of the other
spider-totems within it, informing the boy of the Spider-Society's
mission to protect the great web of spider-heroes. Arana then explained
how Spider-Boy's thread on the great web had come loose and they had
restored it as best they could before remarking on how the
Spider-Society was currently in the process of trying to help
Spider-Duck. When Spider-Boy questioned whether "Spider-Duck" was truly
a spider-totem or if it was simply Howard the Duck attempting to mooch
off the Spider-Society's free food, "Spider-Duck" was exposed as Howard
the Duck as Spider-Boy had suggested and the Spider-Society kicked
Howard to the curb. Arana then questioned how the precognitive Madame
Web did not sense Howard's ruse as Silk assured Spider-Boy that he now
had the Spider-Society's full attention. After reiterating how
Spider-Boy had been restored, the Spider-Society admitted that they did
still have the artifacts necessary for Arana to attempt to perform a
spell to properly restore Spider-Boy and Spider-Boy assisted in
determining the order in which the artifacts should be used before
readily agreeing to allow Arana to perform the spell a second time. The
spell deposited Spider-Boy into the great web itself and he fell
through the Multiverse with the Spider-Society determined to bring him
back to Earth-616. When the Spider-Society accidentally pulled
Spider-Man-51778 from the Multiverse with Spider-Boy replacing him,
they guided Spider-Boy on defeating Spider-Man-51778's foe, King
Bowler. Upon King Bowler's defeat, the Spider-Society managed to sync
Spider-Man-51778 back to his proper reality but only succeeded in
shunting Spider-Boy into another reality.
(Spider-Boy I#10) - The Spider-Society feared Spider-Boy had become lost in the Multiverse until Earth-67's Spider-Man appeared in their headquarters, cluing the Spider-Society in to where Spider-Boy had wound up. When the Green Goblin showed up to threaten J. Jonah Jameson on Earth-67, the Spider-Society put Earth-67's Peter Parker in mental contact with Spider-Boy, who defeated the Goblin, only to be shunted to Earth-51914. The Spider-Society quickly synced the Earth-51914 Spider-Man's mind to Spider-Boy's long enough for Spider-Boy to defeat Spider-Man's foe Hotshot before Spider-Boy was again shunted to another reality. Arana then asked the Spider-Society how Earth-51914's Spider-Man could be there when he had been killed by Earth-001's Morlun and Silk reminded Arana that those killed by Morlun had been restored during their last encounter with Morlun, inspiring Arana to try pulling Spider-Boy along the Multiversal Great Web rather than outright plucking him from it. Arana then cast a spell in an attempt to remove Spider-Boy from the Multiverse by pulling him through the Multiverse but the spell resulted in their connection to Spider-Boy being severed. Suspecting they would need a spider-totem with multiple connections to the Great Web, Madame Web rushed off, promising to return shortly, as the Spider-Society tried to determine which reality Spider-Boy had now been shunted to. Silk and Arana soon located Spider-Boy shortly after a very brief jaunt to Earth-982 and they found him spiraling towards the edge of the Multiverse. Madame Web soon returned with Earth-616's Spider-Man, who agreed to donate Multiversal threads of his own life to restore Spider-Boy. Arana then cast a spell that sacrificed Spider-Man-616's memories of the additional life he had once led while severed from the Great Web himself to restore Spider-Boy, bringing him from Earth-92131 back home to Earth-616. Spider-Boy soon discovered that Spider-Man and the Spider-Society remembered him with his restoration but Madame Web warned Spider-Boy that getting what he wanted always came with a cost.
(Spider-Society I#1) - Earth-65's Ghost-Spider was
visited Earth-1610's Spider-Man (Miles Morales) on Earth-616 when they
both received a summons from the Spider-Society's Madame Web. The two
swung off towards the Simms Building, unaware the Sinister Squadron was
gloating about their spy within the Spider-Society. Upon arrival at the
Simms Building, Ghost-Spider and Miles discovered that the rest of the
now-much-larger Spider-Society had been waiting for hours for Madame
Web to arrive and explain why the Spider-Society had been assembled.
Eventually, Earth-332's Spider-Woman arrived and expressed an interest
in getting the meeting underway, only to quickly realize that none of
the Spider-Society had seen Madame Web. As the Spider-Society began to
grow suspicious that not only Madame Web, but Spider-Man-616, Arana and
Spider-Man 2099 were all missing, an injured Arana appeared and weakly
announced that Spider-Man 2099 had been captured. She then managed to
warn the Spider-Society about the Sinister Squadron seconds before the
Squadron arrived in the Simms Building. The Squadron's Green Goblin
reminded the rest of the Sinister Squadron that the Spider-Society was
to be brought in alive as the Squadron fiercely attacked the
Spider-Society. While the rest of the Squadron kept the Spider-Society
busy, the Green Goblin attempted to capture both Ghost-Spider and Miles
Morales but Madame Web showed up to confront the Goblin.
(Spider-Society I#3 (fb)) -
The Green Goblin
successfully captured Miles Morales-1610 as other members of the
Spider-Society fell to the Sinister Squadron.
(Spider-Society I#1) - The Goblin
deadened Madame Web's ability to see the future and Arana managed to
save Madame Web from the Goblin. Madame Web then guided Arana to
retreat to save specific members of the Spider-Society chosen by Web
before the Sinister Squadron could get to them. After a reluctant Arana
helped
rescue Earth-194's Night-Spider, Spider-Cat, Earth-31's Kraven the
Hunter-Spider, Earth-71490's Web-Weaver, Earth-54202's Spider-Ramen,
Earth-72's Weapon VIII, Earth-138's Spider-Punk and Earth-332's
Spider-Woman, leaving the rest of the Spider-Society to be captured,
Madame Web revealed how her deadened powers were preventing her to
determining any information on the Sinister Squadron.
(Spider-Society I#3 (fb)) - From the nearby rooftop
where they had escaped to, the remaining Spider-Society watched as the
Sinister Squadron continued battling the falling Spider-Society members
that were left behind despite Arana's protests at leaving her teammates.
(Spider-Society I#2 (fb)) - The Sinister Squadron
captured the Spider-Society members not saved by Arana, including
Ghost-Spider-65, while other members of the Sinister Squadron began
going after the Spider-Society's loved ones or counterparts thereof.
(Spider-Society I#1) - When Arana suggested the remaining Spider-Society members go on the offensive against the Squadron, Madame Web suggested they instead go underground. Revealing that she was late to the Spider-Society meeting due to having discovered where the captured Spider-Man 2099 was being held and how important he was to the downfall of the Sinister Squadron, Madame Web rallied the remaining Spider-Society members and tasked them with rescuing Spider-Man 2099. Arana soon led most of the remaining Spider-Society on a search and rescue mission for Spider-Man 2099, finding him on Earth-42 being tortured by Earth-2099's Halloween Jack on behalf of the Sinister Squadron for the secrets he possessed. Spider-Man 2099 quickly ordered the confused Arana and the Spider-Society to leave and when Arana ordered Kraven the Hunter-Spider to take out Halloween Jack, Kraven refused. Spider-Man 2099 broke free and grabbed Halloween Jack, revealing to the Spider-Society that they had been led into a trap and that Kraven the Hunter-Spider was a spy working for the Sinister Squadron. Kraven then attacked Arana as the rest of the Sinister Squadron approached from outside.
(Spider-Society I#2) - Members of the Sinister Squadron began to approach the Spider-Society as Spider-Man 2099 battled Halloween Jack. During the battle, Kraven the Hunter-Spider attacked Web-Weaver and the rest of the Spider-Society and shortly after Kraven was defeated, the Spider-Society realized that the Sinister Squadron were started to break into the building. Arana sent Web-Weaver and Weapon VIII to engage the Squadron while Spider-Man 2099 attempted to hack into the Squadron's computer systems for intel. Eventually, Arana, Spider-Woman-332 and Spider-Punk joined in to assist Web-Weaver and Weapon VIII in an effort to buy Spider-Man 2099 more time. Spider-Man 2099 soon managed to hack into the Sinister Squadron's comm channels and he had Spider-Cat screech into the comms, downing the Sinister Squadron and buying the Spider-Society time to escape Earth-42. As they escaped, the Sinister Squadron's leader, Earth-24122's Madame Web visited Earth-616's Simms Building, where the Squadron's Green Goblin had captured Spider-UK-834, Silk-616, Spider-Man-1610, Ghost-Spider-65, Spider-Rex-66, Spider-Woman-616. Gloating that taking Ghost-Spider and Spider-Man-1610 off the board would only increase the Squadron's power, Earth-24122's Madame Web asked Green Goblin about the status of the rest of the Spider-Society, to which the Goblin replied that it was only a matter of time. Sensing the truth, Madame Web accused Green Goblin of lying, revealing how the Spider-Society had escaped with Spider-Man 2099, and when Ghost-Spider gloated about her teammates' escape, Madame Web revealed the captive loved ones in an effort to shut the heroes up.
The
remaining Spider-Society
members soon made their way to one of their Madame Web's safe houses,
where Spider-Man 2099 learned from the Sinister Squadron's computers
that they had captured some of their loved ones from across the
Multiverse. Before the Spider-Society could become too upset, Madame
Web-616 reminded them that they had to work to do and sent Arana,
Weapon VIII, Spider-Punk and Web-Weaver to Web-Weaver's home reality of
Earth-71490 to acquire the thread of the Great Web of Life and Destiny
that Web-Weaver had there for safekeeping while Web herself and
Spider-Man 2099 attempted to determine why the Sinister Squadron was so
intent on capturing him. When the Spider-Society agents arrived at
Earth-71490's Ravencroft Institute, they found themselves against
facing the Sinister Squadron and they were all quickly downed.
Revealing herself to be a counterpart of May Parker, the Squadron's
Madame Web had the Squadron gather up most of the unconscious
Spider-Society and Squadron member Vermin acquired the thread of the
Great Web from Ravencroft before the Squadron departed Earth-71490 with
their captives, unaware that Weapon VIII had escaped capture.
(Spider-Society I#3) - The captured Spider-Society were taken to a cell by the Sinister Squadron and Ghost-Spider-65 and Spider-Man-1610 were soon thrown in the same cell with their Spider-Society teammates. As Ghost-Spider revealed that the Sinister Squadron had found Spider-Man 2099 and Earth-616's Madame Web, the two remaining Spider-Society members were on Earth-2099 still trying to determine why the Sinister Squadron wanted Spider-Man 2099 out of commission. Madame Web sensed that the Spider-Society was in trouble mere moments before Earth-2099's Travesty attacked them on behalf of the Sinister Squadron. While Travesty apprehended Spider-Man 2099 and Madame Web, the rest of the captured Spider-Society were discussing their predicament and Web-Weaver asked Ghost-Spider what she would if she were the Green Goblin, to which Ghost-Spider admitted she burn the Squadron's entire operation to the ground. At that same moment, the Squadron's Green Goblin, tiring of following the orders of the Earth-24122's Madame Web, disabled the security protocol for the newly-captured Weapon VIII. Weapon VII then escaped, taking down the Squadron's Hobgoblin and Silvio while Spider-Woman-332 short-circuited her power-dampening collar and freed her Spider-Society teammates. Finding their way to regroup with Weapon VIII, the Spider-Society took down the individual members of the Sinister Squadron but when Arana confronted the Squadron's Madame Web, she gloated that the Spider-Society had already lost and with the Spider-Society fallen, the entire Multiverse would soon kneel before her.
(Spider-Society I#4) - When
the Sinister Squadron's
Madame Web revealed the captured Spider-Man 2099, Madame Web-616 and
Spider-Man-616, Arana's ragtag group of remaining Spider-Society
members confronted her and Spider-Punk, tired of the Squadron, attacked
Madame Web on his own. Web easily downed Spider-Punk, igniting a fierce
battle between the Spider-Society and the Sinister Squadron, during
Madame Web revealed his origins and how she had secretly arranged
certain events to help create the members of her Sinister Squadron.
Deducing that Madame Web was inadvertently destroying the Multiverse as
she siphoned the Great Web's energies, the still-captive Spider-Man
2099 had his digital assistant Lyla communicate with Arana and explain
the situation, prompting Arana to rally the Spider-Society to take out
the device Madame Web was using the siphon the Great Web's energies.
Confronting Madame Web once more, Arana hurled Spider-Cat into her
face, distracting her while Weapon VIII and Web-Weaver attempted to
disable Madame Web's siphoning device. Upon realizing that the Great
Web's siphoned energies would have to be funneled through a
spider-totem to restore the Great Web, Arana prepared to sacrifice
herself to restore the Multiverse, soon drawing Madame Web's power back
into the Great Web. The loss of power soon freed the captured
Spider-Society members and they arrived to see Arana funneling the
Web's energies. Angry that she had not been in control of her own
destiny and that the Squadron's Madame Web had arranged events to turn
her into the Green Goblin, the Sinister Squadron's Goblin fought her
way free of Spider-Man-1610 and Ghost-Spider-65's grasp and slammed
Madame Web into the siphoning device, funneling the siphoned energies
through Madame Web and rescuing Arana. The energies successfully
exploded back into the Great Web, apparently destroying both the
Squadron's Madame Web and the Green Goblin and restoring the
Multiverse. The Spider-Society members then worked to send its various
members and captured loved ones back to their proper realities and
Madame Web-616 confirmed that the individual Sinister Squadron members
the evil Madame Web had created were no longer able to tap into the
abilities she had arranged for them. With the Spider-Society having won
the battle against the Sinister Squadron, Arana asked Madame Web-616
what would come next.
(Amazing Spider-Man V Giant-Size#1 / 4) - After
finding Earth-91029's Kid Venom, Spider-Girl-982 brought him to the
Spider-Society for help in getting Kid Venom back to his home reality.
The Spider-Society, now with new members Spider-Man-9349 and
Spider-Zero-19166, admitted that getting Kid Venom home would be
difficult, explaining that while they could traverse the Multiverse,
they couldn't transcend time. When Spider-Man-616 emerged from a
Multiversal portal to joke about time travel, Kid Venom's symbiote,
Clinter, sensed the call of the symbiote god Knull and entered the
portal to Earth-616, emerging outside the Baxter Building under the
thrall of Knull.

The Marvel Database Wiki mentions
Earth-19338's
Spider-Man and Earth-92100's Spider-Man as members of the
Spider-Society in Spider-Society I#1 but I did not see Spider-Man-19338
anywhere among the Spider-Society in that issue and the six-armed
Spider-Man in that issue could not Spider-Man-92100, as
Spider-Man-92100 was killed by the Earth-001 Inheritor Daemos. Sure,
many of the Spider-totems killed during Spider-Verse were later
resurrected
during the "End of the Spider-Verse" storyline but only the ones killed
by Morlun were restored, not the ones killed by the other Inheritors.
Therefore, unless there's an untold story somewhere, Spider-Man-92100
was still dead at the time of Spider-Society I#1 and the six-armed
Spider-Man in the Spider-Society was a different counterpart, perhaps
Earth-8910's Spider-Man, Earth-28204's Spider-Man (Parker Peterman) or
Earth-39811's Spider-Man with his mutation disease not flaired up.
Personally, I'm leaning more toward it being Spider-Man-28204, mostly
because he had already encountered Multiversal Spider-totems
(Spider-Ham) before and would more likely have been known by the
Spider-Society and therefore recruited by them. Plus, Spider-Man-8910
is a creation of the Impossible
Man, who likely would have sensed his reality's Spider-Man leaving the
Earth he created and would want to become involved himself. Then again,
we
do see Earth-31198's Armored Spidey among the Spider-Society and there
is a
Scarlet Spider counterpart (albeit one with inverted costume colors) so
that could support it being a non-flaired up Spider-Man-39811. There's
really no concrete to say either way but for the purposes of this
profile, I'm going with Spider-Man-28204. If something comes along to
later confirm it was Spider-Man-8910 or Earth-39811, I'll update the
profile to reflect that.
Similarly, the Calypso seen
among the Sinister Squadron is likely Earth-9391's Calypso, as that
reality's Calypso was the only one (I'm aware of anyway) that resembled
the Earth-616 Calypso (as the Sinister Squadron's Calypso did) AND did
not have beads, etc. in her hair. Most of the other Calypsos from other
realities looked significantly different than the Earth-616 Calypso and
the only other one that looked similar (Earth-19726's Calypso) had
beads in her hair. The Sinister Squadron's Calypso did not have beads
in her hair, leaving the only option of a previously seen Calypso as
Earth-9391's Calypso. I mean, sure, Calypso can take beads in and out
of her hair but since Earth-9391's Calypso matches the one in the
Sinister Squadron, it seems likely that could be her. On that note, the
Goblin 2099 seen in the
Sinister Squadron could only be the previously unseen and only
referenced Earth-68926 counterpart, as the Earth-928 Goblin was
presumably destroyed when Earth-928 was merged into the composite
Earth-2099 and the other counterparts (Earth-16713, Earth-31945 and the
one seen in the Spider-Man Unlimited
mobile game) all looked different than the one in the Sinister Squadron
(who more closely resembled the destroyed Earth-928 counterpart).
The Marvel Database Wiki states that the Spider-Society is referenced in The End 2099#2 (2026) but I could not find any reference to the group in that issue. The closest would be a statement from Spider-Man 2099 where he mentions having encountered numerous other spider-heroes before but that's not any sort of direct reference to the Spider-Society. Spider-Man 2099 has encountered spider-heroes many times before in the various Spider-Verse crossovers while solo and (at that point anyway) once alongside the Spider-Society. Just making a statement that he's encountered many spider-heroes doesn't necessarily mean that it was with the Spider-Society. Therefore, I have not included that "appearance" in the Spider-Society's history since there was no reference to the actual group.
