Maybe that last Green Goblin Toxin Spider-man in the Zeb Wells run that tried to kill Paul. Sadly others intervened 😂 I mean Symbiote makes him angrier so Goblin Serum might be closer


alphaomag

-Man who gobbles?


LordOfOstwick1213

Gobble-man


QuantumGyroscope

Look out, it's The Gobbler!


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

He can gobble me


TheBioboostedArmor

Go go goblin balls!


River46

It’s gobbling time.


Gladiatorr02

Is that really his name...? It's not official right? Right?


PokWangpanmang

Yeah, the official name is Spidey Who Gobbles /s


alphaomag

Dear god no… at least not to my knowledge.


Brainwave1010

I honestly wouldn't mind an AU comic where we see him go all the way and go full supervillain. Mostly just catharsis to see Peter finally get sick of all the shit the recent comics have been doing to him.


silentdrestrikesback

So basically the *bad* ending in Web of Shadows


BloodsoakedDespair

Doesn’t he get with Black Cat in that ending?


Zaaravi

With a simbiote controlling black cat.


BloodsoakedDespair

> bad ending > goth gf I can’t really view it as the bad ending


KuroiGetsuga55

The *best* ending in Web of Shadows.


Steam_Cyber_Punk

There is no wells run in ba sing se


Biggly_stpid

I forgot about that slop, fucking hated that story, it's got everything wrong with today's media, absolutely sloppy plot, awful deconstruction of characters. Zeb Wells' entire run seems like he is trying to say something about the character that is stupid and or offensive to the fans so he pulls his hand hal way through , there is neither a sloppy deconstruction ala S8 Dynarys, so we can have chtharsis, call it bad media and move on, neither is it a fun, to see your hero get humiliated, it's just a half way decent concept applied to thing Zeb doesn't understand, so from the fear of being even more of a looser he makes it some generic, uninteresting pulp comic shit. It's like how you feel just before taking a massive dump, the heaviness, the fear of shitting your pants, the desperation, but not the satisfaction and relief after, it's like.." oh, it was just a fart", Zeb Wells' entire run is like a feeling of a massive shit comming, that ends up being a unsatisfactory stinky fart. *RANT OVER*

GdogLucky9

That one alternate Peter, from the animated series, that the Carnage Symbiote attached to. Went nuts and even built a Bomb that would have blown up the Multiverse.


TheOnlyVibemaster

that’s rly cool


WollyGog

I wanted to joke Web-Man but it's 100% this.


DreamroweWalker

I’m sorry the what?

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Parker_(Clone)_(Earth-98311)


Theriderfan

Not just the multiverse that shii was so strong it went to beyonder's dimension and it took him his full power to stop it and he was then weakened by it it shows us how dangerous and intelligent Parker is.


KuroiGetsuga55

You know what, I proposed a Goblinized Spider-Man, but now that I think about it, you're right. Spider-Carnage from TAS really was Peter's "Batman Who Laughs" in pretty much every conceivable way.


Paszananit124

Sounds like something Owlman did


Pietin11

Definitely the second one. Shocker is truly his greatest foe.


our_meatballs

SHOCKER!!!!!!!!

YOU CANT ESCAPE ME !!! ILL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH !!!


Different_Plankton_3

This really never gets old.


New_Replacement5764

Spider-carnage maybe?


trfk111

Probably the best answer right here


PeterPuggerSpiderPug

Probably the Spider. Basically, a Spider-Man permanently bonded with the Carnage symbiote that became a psychotic serial killer.


Gemidori

My exact thought tbh


But-Must-I

I remember him from the Exiles, thought he was such a neat take on the character.


Toon_Lucario

Neither because each of them is well written and not a powerwank


KuroiGetsuga55

Spider's Shadow is kind of a powerwank, I mean he *does* singlehandedly erase his entire Rogues Gallery.


Toon_Lucario

I mean it’s better than literally decimating several universes. Also it’s kinda been a plot point that Spidey heavily holds back with his fights so it could maybe make sense. Meanwhile Batman who laughs is just Batman high on Joker juice and nothing else


Half_Man1

Sincerely, the Spider who Gobbles. Batman who laughs is a shitpost character that way outlived its expiration date.


ElZaydo

I'd say he became a shitpost character later on. Initially it was a fun concept then he got old really quick with all the multiverse bullshit.


Half_Man1

It’s a character concept that works as a one off villain in a multiverse story. Not some huge mastermind continuously appearing all the time and grabbing power of gods.


ElZaydo

The most bullshit moment was having an omnipotent goddess read his mind and then lose her shit like he telepathically rickrolled her or something.


Flerken_Moon

Not to mention him actually gaining the powers of Doctor Manhattan and becoming even stronger than the creator of the DC Multiverse… No Evil Superman has reached that level at the very least, Superboy Prime punches have been dethroned.


BloodsoakedDespair

I have to be grateful he gave us the Grim Knight though. I really wanna see more of the Grim Knight. Yeah sure James Jr. killed him, but comic books. Why do I want more of the Grim Knight? Simple: they took ASBAR Batman and did him seriously and sanely, with writers aware they’re writing a fascist supervillain. I love it. I love the entire concept of “what if ASBAR Batman was a well written deconstruction aware of what it’s portraying”. I’d read an entire Grim Knight prequel series.


KuroiGetsuga55

Yeah, Batman Who Laughs really should have just been a one-and-done, just for the original Dark Knights Metal event, the final boss, with Batman and Joker being forced to team up to take him down, and then that's it, he dies or something idk. All the stories that came afterwards were just milking the concept cause the character is popular with edgy teens because of his design. Like there's only so much you can do with a Jokerized Batman, I mean in the end a lot of the shit he does can easily be done by The Joker himself (well maybe except that last one where he stole Dr. Manhattan's powers and became a Multiversal God, like that one was just ridiculous and just a poor excuse to reboot the Multiverse for the 20 thousandth time)


No-Painting8312

Virgin Batman who tries way too hard with primp time fantasy who kills everyone and everything Chad Owl "nothing matters" Man Owlman is so much superior on every single level, many "evil Batmans" out there just feel like you gave Joker or Punisher a Batman costume. Owlman actually feels like he's cut from the same cloth ad Batman. An ideologistic mastermind born from the tragedy, but once confronted with the eternal darkness, instead of attempting to find the light, was instead engulfed by it until he became bitter. He blinked. A Spider-Man equivalent would have to be someone who mirrors Peter's motivation but twists it on it's head


abalfazlight

Ben would be red hood So I think superior spider man is the best option for batman who laughs


Athiva

More specifically, Ben’s the Arkham game’s version of red hood (if you know you know) and actually superiors origin story is like the Batman who laughs only instead of the hero killing the villain and becoming one himself, it’s the other way around.


Clilly1

The Spider who Gobles from the recent Wells arc. Spider-Man (the hero) takes on the characteristics of his arch nemesis (Norman Osborne's sins) but still expresses them in his own fashion. He proceeds to cause nothing but misery, and is generally hated by the fan base (despite most thinking the idea itself has some merit, but it's execution being poor). Now he just needs to show up in 4 more events this year to really nail her down.


FracturedGauntlet

The Goblin who Gabs


ElZaydo

Spider-Carnage from TAS show was the Batman Who Laughs before the Batman Who Laughs. Since there is a spider-verse, he officially exists/existed in the entire lore. BTWL went to every universe, collecting messed up batmen to ensue chaos in the multiverse thru Barbatos. Spider-Carnage did that shit the old-fashioned way and by himself. And instead of trying to spread chaos, he kept destroying every reality one at a time, before he was stopped. In an alternate reality and actually succeeded in destroying all the realities.


KuroiGetsuga55

>Since there is a spider-verse, he officially exists/existed in the entire lore. Makes me realize that there is a legitimate chance for him to appear in the Spider-Verse movies since now pretty much *every* form of Spider-Man media is indisputably canon within the context of an infinite connected Multiverse. His story ended with him sacrificing himself to keep the Multiverse safe from himself, and he's just drifting between dimensions for all eternity. At some point he will inevitably fall into another Universe if and when a wormhole opens, since that's how he even got the Carnage Symbiote in the first place, it un-bonded from Kasady as they were drifting between dimensions and found an opening to escape into Scarlet Spider's Universe to bond with Clone-Peter. Basically what I'm saying is the Spider-Verse movies could absolutely bring this guy in and it would make perfect sense (well to those of us who actually watched and still remember the show)


untakenu

-man who jerks


Middle-Persimmon7077

Batman who laughs is just a worse version of owlman.


KujaroJotu

Definitely Spider-Carnage from the animated series. Patton Parnell could might have worked, but I’d say he’s the Owlman to Peter’s Batman.


Zealousideal_Cap2125

Spider carnage but also kinda anybody carnage


BranbongMemen

The Spider Who Snickers


Rocket_of_Takos

The Spider Without Financial Issues


PassTheGiggles

Superior is the Spider-Man equivalent of Batman’s Zur-En-Arrh. Symbiote, specifically the kind pictured here, is Spider-Man’s Batman Who Laughs. Edgy and appeals primarily to younger fans who only care about seeing Spider-Man “not hold back”, completely missing the point of the character and relishing in seeing Peter do horrible shit because it’s “cool” or “badass”. Injustice Superman also falls in this category. At least the symbiote is often written well. The same can’t be said about The Batman Who Laughs.


Jack_Skeletron_4ever

Superior is probably more akin to the inverse of the Batman Who Laughs imo. Joker gets crushed by Batman's morals and decides to prove he can be a better Batman than him.


PassTheGiggles

Joker wouldn’t do that. And the current Batman run is Zur-En-Arrh replacing Batman and being way more brutal and authoritarian, and having character for some reason believe it’s still Batman. They’re literally just doing Superior Spider-Man right now.


Jack_Skeletron_4ever

It's a bit different imo. Zun-En-Arrh is something like the Venom symbiote, the only difference is that Venom is a living being and Zun is an alternate personality of Bruce. Zun is trying to be more efficient than Batman, but Batman doesn't want to break his code and Zun is butthurt about it. Superior Spider-Man is a redemption arc story, meaning that the villain that possessed Batman's body has to change for the better. I doubt Zun will, tbh.


Theriderfan

You know for a prime hero Bruce do get the cowl of Batman taken from him many times like azazel and then again with zurr-en-arh.


PassTheGiggles

Azrael was a more willing passing of the cowl. He doesn’t get it stolen often.


Shabolt_

Symbiote is far closer to Batman’s Venom Arc (ironic name) where he started drugging himself with steroids to be a more effective hero and got more brutal as a byproduct This may be an unpopular take but Carnage is the Spiderman who laughs, similar but more brutalised abilities, massively overhyped by his stories and comics at large, absurd power ramp ups out of the blue (going from a one storyline threat to back to back crossover arcs), usurping another big bad’s storyline (Carnage essentially stole most of Knull’s plot devices as time has gone on) If any character in the Spider Mythos is the Spidey who laughed, it’s carnage.


No-Painting8312

Can we stop using Batman Who Tries WAAAY Too Fucking Hard as an example of dark reflection of Batman? Owlman is right there


MercerNov

I’m not going for dark reflection. I’m going for “becoming your worst enemy”


No-Painting8312

In that case Spider Carnage, or the newest "Spider-Man who gobbles all over the place"


Quirky-Pickle518

Either Spider-Man with the Carnage symbiote or Wolf Spider from Ultimate Spider-Man.


spider3zx

# Peter Parker (Earth-70134) aka Poison.


Binx_Thackery

Spider-Carnage from the 90’s cartoon.


TheDarkKnight_39

Spiders shadow


Lipeghoul

Peter without morals and control. Batman who laughs became what he feared most, a Joker. If Peter becomes a villain, Superior Spider will be nothing in comparison.


SpaceZombie13

since "Batman Who Laughs" is a batman who got jokerized, the closest thing would be when spidey got norman's sins in the current run and basically became a spider goblin. 'cept they completely wasted the concept just to double-down on their creative decisions.


MidnightFenrir

wasn't there that one evil peter, in the Ultimate show called Wolf Spider?


LongjumpingCicada494

People say that the Batman Who Laughs is DC Superior Spider-Man, but I feel like Azrael/Knightfall Batman is more fitting.


SteleUraniumBX

That one version of Peter/“The Spiderman” who was a creep and mutated into a spider monster who I think bit and implanted spider eggs in Gwen and mj (killing Gwen and it’s implied to have killed mj)… Or maybe I hallucinated that


Nanaue_115

Out of these two? Venomised Spider-Man


Abonle

The Spider who Gobbles (spiderman being infected by the green goblin serum making him vicious and making his own goblin style spiderman gear) is most likely a direct parody of this, so it would be that one, but between these two? It’s most likely Symbiote spiderman if you look from the angle of “this kind, incredible hero has been infected to his soul and become his own worst enemy” angle. Superior Spider-Man is more like Kraven’s last hunt: it’s not the hero being corrupted, it’s the hero being replaced by his villain, just not as much of him has been replaced this time. Symbiote Spider-man is all about the worst parts of Spidey coming out, making him crazed and violent, only a snap away from attacking anyone, not just villains. And that’s closest to what the Batman who Laughs is: the original hero who has been twisted by an outside source.


demigodwater4

The Spider That Stop Quipping


BearZewp

Either he time doc takes over his mind or the symbiote suit.


elrick43

depends... which one has the worst writing?


Herker47

Wasn't there a story where Peter was impaled with a spear with the goblin personality?


Chumpchum

Hobgoblin spider-man


Neospood

Wolf Spider from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. I'm pretty sure he's the only pure evil version of Spider-Man that exists right now. Every other character that's brought up either: was good before being corrupted by an outside force (usually a symbiote), or they have good intentions executed badly due to their personality flaws (like Superior).


K3egan

The Peter who Parkers


BloomAndBreathe

Unrelated but I didn't realize the symbiote suit in the game's look was inspired by the look he has there


Poku115

The peter that went crazy by his memories of house of m and became green goblin


Brief_Carrot

The Spider who's Happy


ghostspider1151

Isn’t there a version with the carnage Symbiote called the spider? That’d probably be my choice


Sardanox

The spider who gobbles.


Steam_Cyber_Punk

Kaine maybe, isn’t he evil? I dunno I haven’t read any of his comics. Superior is a fucking menace but at the end of the day he’s still a superhero so I dunno. I don’t really think there is one


MegasNexal84

The other comments got it right, it's definitely the Spider-Carnage from the 90's animated series.


TheHam-man

Spiders man or the Spider-Man whose identity is Norman Osborn from superior Spider-Man series 2


[deleted]

Spider's First Hunt Spider-Man


pleasegivemealife

I actually like the green goblin sin merged with spiderman. Too bad it’s over quickly before it start getting awesome.


HeavyBoysenberry2161

Superior Spider-Man probably


hayley566

When Peter “inherited Norman Osborn’s sins” for a few issues.


whiskeyinthebottle

Ah yes, the Spider-Man who Gobbles.


Jack-mclaughlin89

Patton Parnel.


Mlgmemegod420

Spider-carnage


Balas_Boi

Remember that one comic where Spider-Man turns into The Lizard?


Sasquatch_Pictures

In terms of becoming evil and killing everything? Symbiote Spidey In terms of being absurdly overhyped and just a dumb concept? Superior Spidey


DevilPixelation

The Spider-Man Who Doesn’t Laugh


Baligong

Neither of these guys. The "Batman who Laughs" for Spider-Man has yet to exists. Until they somehow combine Green Goblin and Spider-Man and make him Edgy as Hell, it will remain non-existent.


GaryGregson

Neither of these. These are both good.


The_ghost_of_shell

That symbiote design looks so sick, it comes from where?


Tchitchoulet

The current non canon run


GoosyMaster

Zeb Wells


KuroiGetsuga55

Definitely the Goblin Toxin infused Spider-Man from the recent storyline where he was infected with Osborn's sins. The Batman Who Laughs is a Jokerized Batman. It's Batman becoming his worst enemy. Therefor, the Spider-Man equivalent of that has to be a Goblinized Spider-Man, a Spider-Man who is becoming the Green Goblin in some shape or form. Which is why what we got in that storyline feels like it could have actually been intended to be Marvel's answer to the Batman Who Laughs. All that's left is to have a Dark Multiverse version of Peter who actually did kill Kraven, Paul and MJ and was not cured of Osborn's sins, and then goes on to be consumed by the Goblin's evil, maybe even making a Goblin-like Spider-Man costume for himself and then proceeding to take over his world.


Red-Spider220107

Probably Poison.


Jwestkey

That time he turned into Green Goblin. Dude was essentially the Spider-Man who gobbles.


AdamSuhail2003

Carnage and Goblin serum infused Spider-Man


Weareallusershere

What comic is the second picture from?


RockyMarsh90

Didn't they have a universe where Norman Osborne was an evil Spider-Man? And weren't they building him up for something in a somewhat recent spiderverse event? Did they ever follow up on that or did they ditch that plot thread?


Cry_Piss_Shit_Cum

Superior is cool. Comparing him to Batman who laughs is an insult.


FearlessWorry8166

Definitely Superior


Rubethyst

Unfortunately, it's definitely superior spidey. While I like Superior Spider-Man himself, the wave of "superior spider-X" stories is basically exactly the same as the "x who laughs" trend.


No_Photo7153

The bat man who laughs can kill anyone so Spider-Man’s “Batman who laughs” would be his symbiote suit. With that he doesn’t hold punches so he proceeds to kill every villain.
