Spider-Spy 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 first sketches of Spider-Spy were done up like a
movie poster and mentions characters that exist on Earth-94192
including Becky Brant, Jim J. Jameson, Fay Hardy and
Marisa Parker. While the counterparts on Earth-616 can be deduced, what
sort of relationship, if any, that these characters had with Spider-Spy
was never revealed. On that note, William Fisk was mentioned in several
online posts about the character and an unidentified character
resembling Earth-616's Kingpin appears not only in one online piece of
art but also the Marvel-published art seen in Spider-Verse III#5. Given
the recurring mentions of Fisk in the online art pieces, I'm willing to
bet money on the character seen in Spider-Verse III#5 is Fisk and that
is how I am treating it in this profile. If something ever disproves
that assumption, I'll update the profile accordingly. Additionally, and
this is pure speculation here, I'm thinking that the character of
Marisa Parker is the Earth-94192 counterpart to Earth-616's May Parker
so it's possible Marisa is Pierce Parker's aunt on Earth-94192 but
there is no evidence to support or disprove this theory. While we're at
it, let's go ahead and suggest who the other characters might be. My
opinion is as follows:
Pierce Parker/Spider-Spy=Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Marilyn Jane=Mary Jane Watson
William Fisk=Wilson Fisk/Kingpin
Becky Brant=Betty Brant
Jim J. Jameson=J. Jonah Jameson
Fay Hardy=Felicia Hardy/Black Cat
Marisa Parker=May Parker
Spider-Spy's hair color was impossible to determine, as he was never seen without his mask on.

William Fisk was a constant thorn in Spider-Spy's side. Following his first encounter with Spider-Spy, Fisk encountered the spy a second time when Spider-Spy and Marilyn Jane rushed to stop Fisk's latest plot in Spider-Spy's Spy-Mobile. Spider-Spy later encountered Fisk again and Fisk remained a constant looming threat to Spider-Spy's heroic activities.

Marilyn Jane was Spider-Spy's partner during his spy activities for the Secret Service. She often acted as the driver of the Spy-Mobile during their missions and secretly harbored feelings for Spider-Spy, causing concern for his safety. She joined Spider-Spy on several missions against William Fisk and continued helping him keep the streets of Noir New York safe.

Spider-Spy's Spy-Mobile was a modified 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO that was powered by an actual jet engine. Spider-Spy used it as his primary mode of transportation, often driven by his partner Marilyn Jane. He used it while twice attempting to stop William Fisk and later used it to help keep Noir New York safe.
