Update: A new poster for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse brings in more Spider-heroes and gives closer looks at some that were barely glimpsed in the trailer. Just like with the trailer, we're digging into the poster and naming all the Spider-heroes we can. So check out the latest Spidersonas added to the film, and read on after the poster for a rundown of the Spider-heroes who we recognized from the movie trailer.
First appearance: Spider-Island: I love New York City #1 (2011)
He's a Spider-Man and he's a cat. Simple as that!

A Spider-Man who is also a cyborg - 'nuff said.
10. Mattie Franklin
First appearance: Spectacular Spider-Man #263 (1998)

Original story follows...
A new trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse takes Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Peter Parker into a whole new Multiverse of Spider-heroes, including dozens of individual characters.
And as you may imagine, a good number of those heroes come straight from comics - over 40 of them, by our count.
We pored over each frame of the Across the Spider-Verse trailer, identifying all the Spider-heroes we could, and making our best guesses at others that seem to be at least inspired by known Spider-characters from comics.
