History:

(DeviantArt online post by creator Kevin Bolk) - Spider-Manly walked across a blood-stained, mountainous terrain, pulling himself with torn shreds of webbing in his hands.

(Spider-Verse III#6/2) - Walking along the desert winds, Spider-Manly, wearing a different battle helmet, came across a swarm of tiny goblins that attacked him. Wielding his mighty Arachne-Ax, Spider-Manly bound one of the goblins around the neck with his webbing and prepared to slay the foes of righteousness.

Comments: Created by Kevin Bolk.

Spider-Manly is one of several Spidersona's who appeared in the back-pages of Spider-Verse (2020). "Spidersona" was a hashtag that launched around the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). Amazed at the talent of creativity of people posting their creations online, Marvel reached out to some of these artists to create new Spidersona art especially for the Spider-Verse (2020) series. Every issue showcased several original pieces of Spidersona art by artists from around the globe after which most appeared in the story as well.

The origin of Spider-Manly's powers was never revealed so one can also presume he was mutated somehow like many other Spider-totems.

His eye color was impossible to determine, as he was only ever seen with a mask on.
