The multiverse is a wild place and as a Spider-Totem, Spider-Man has a huge role to play in it.

3:01 "Totems attract other totems."
Is this a Jojo reference of "Stand users attract other Stand users."
Hah. I was thinking the same thing.
F you Dan Slott
@@LittleHomieLightningtech slott didn't write that
Great, now I’m imagining what version of Spider-Man in the JoJo universe would look like.
Peter Parker and his Amazing Stand, [ITSY BITSY SPIDER]
@@halfmettlealchemist8076 nah itsy bitsy is a separate character
Maybe it goes complex, but i really love Morlun as an unstoppable force enemy to Spiderman. Not only the Rhyno, who is strong, but someone that actively is a threat to Peter and aims to kill him, and cant be stopped for long. He also has some charisma. behind the rough language and savage ways, he is royalty. And nothing stops him, not even the barriers between realities. He would have been amazing for NWH.
That movie would go from pg13 to rated R really quick😂
Also, Tom isn't ready for the green goblin/rhino/venom, let alone Morlun☠
@@chriss.249 none of the cinematic spider-men are
@@PixelBraint
This is fax😂
But I'd say tobey and Andrew would be more prepared than Tom. Unlike mcu spidey, those 2 have actually thrown hands b4.
That arch was great, Straczynski and Romita Jr really sold the dreadfulness of Morlun. I remember fearing for Peter's life, thought they were going to kill him!
@@leonardolemos7542 Personally, I think they should've just given that to Carnage since he filled Morlun's role in Spiderman's rogue gallery before him
Hey comic drake I was wondering if you could do a video on Timely comics heros , like the OG human torch,toro, angel etc. Obviously you don’t have to do it it’s just a suggestion, also keep up the great work, I love your videos!
Yes.
@@ComicDrake I've always wanted to learn more about golden age human torch, sounds like a cool video
@@ComicDrake based
@@ComicDrake the white tiger is a tiger totem so that's at least one of the animals
@@ComicDrake bruh
Don't forget that Spider-Man PS4 was in this event and he even met Spider-Cop
honestly, I would just make it to where the spider totems could literally be anyone. They just need spider powers. I feel like that kinda splits the difference of it could be anyone, but at the same time keeps the interesting parts of the spider totem mythos. would probably just retcon the Ezekial guy to say that was just how he understood it.
But then that would make Killbus from Kamen Rider Build a totem.
@@thomasthecoolkid7228 he’s not from the Marvel Multiverse so it should be fine. Black Spider from DC isn’t a Totem as far as we know
@@exileforever2508 Okay, but toku Spider-Man crossed over with Kamen Rider... V3, I think, with no multiversal shenanigans. Either way, he's canon to Kamen Rider, and thus Kamen Rider is an official part of that multiverse.
@@thomasthecoolkid7228 what you saw is a Megaverse event. It’s something among fans where characters normally not apart of the same multiverse (say Punisher and Archie) ending up crossover. Think of it as a Nexus event where two reality collide and the series treats it as always the case they lived together when in theory it does not
Plus, these writers at the time and even now don’t think about it a lot. I mean, Sonic appeared in an episode of OK KO but does that mean OK KO suffer the Genesis Wave from Archie Sonic?
@@exileforever2508 Okay, gotcha. But still, I'd love for Kamen Rider to be part of the Marvel multiverse. That would be just _so_ freaking cool.
While it does sound weird, I do kinda like how it's destiny for Peter to be bitten. I'd explain it like this: Peter was a random occurance at 1st but after the great weaver saw enough of his heroism in action, it locked onto him and sought to repeat that across the multiverse.
Even without that, I do feel like he was the right choice, and the weaver saw potential in him.
Something something canon event
Spider-geddon wasn't that great, but it was worth the price of admission to see Miles Morales get the Captain Universe powers and use them to wield Sword Vigor (the sword used by Leopardon, the giant robot Spider-Man pilots in the 1970s Japanese Spider-Man show)!
Ikr
Seeing ps4 spiderman and superior octopus together was nice
I got to admit that sounded really cool.
Honestly I like it way more than the OG Spiderverse
@@notsosmartguy6254 personally I think it did some stuff better but it felt like there were too many spider men imo
A multiverse of Spider-Men, chosen by the SPIDER GOD
FLIES FOR THE SPIDER GOD
Doctor Drake Strange here to teach you about the web of destiny and multiverse!
Have you heard the word from our Spider-God!
Vampires have cloning tech right? So why don't they just clone spidermen to eat? Oh wait that's already a story.
they are huge pricks also they would not always get all the power gifted to spider-people when they clonethem.
The cloned Spiders don’t taste the same or “right” to them, iirc. One of then tried to eat either Ben Reilly or Kaine, & it didn’t take
If you had the ability to clone infinite amounts of food for yourself, forever, do you think you could eat clone food for the rest of your life without getting sick of the taste? Or would you eventually just end up driving to Arby's for some fresh cheeseburgers even though you wouldn't need to, just because it's something different?
Shouldn't Superior Spiderman be 2 totems at the same time? He is Doc Ock, Octopus totem, inside the body of Peter Parker, Spider totem.
If the fact that any animal-themed superhero/supervillain is a totem is still canon, then technically yes, but as Drake said, no writer EVER touched on it again. It was mentioned once and since then Spider-Totems have been the only totems ever made important. It's kinda a big plot hole too, becuase if Inheritors feed on all kinds of totems and are weak to most Spider-Totems die to their radiation... why haven't they tried to kill any other animal themed superhuman? It was just kinda a mess that's never been fixed, and I don't beleive it ever will tbh.
Actually, in Spider-Geddon one of the Inheritors tried to eat Otto, but found him to taste disgusting as he was a Frankenstein of two different types of totems.
@@oceankim8791
They found him disgusting because of his clone body, it and the powers attached were artificial, and therefore he wasn't an actual totem.
Tbh no, a totem has mystical properties, ocks mechanical arms were purely artificial, therefore he wasn't a totem.
Black panther was 1 tho. As well as white tiger
The conscious doesn't matter, the body does.
The other animal totems thing was mentioned again in Reginald Hudlin's Black Panther run. Yeah during Dark Reign when T'Challa was comatose & Shuri took the mantle a group called the Crocodile Cult summoned Morlun to kill T'Challa. One does wonder if the whole multiversal aspect is also a thing but who knows.
I literally hate the concept of the totems, Ezekiel, and the Inherenters. But even then I not afraid to enjoy a good multiverse event with my favorite spider people. Doc Ock was so enjoyable in this
Doc Ock was at his best in the Superior Spider/Superior Octopus phase.
I'm so sad he is back to what he was, I really whised that if he was turning villain again he would stay as Superior Octopus.
It was smart of the movies to get rid of the whole “totem” idea and replace it with the concept of “canon events”. Basically swapping out a mystical/magical explanation for a more scientific one, but it still works.
Straczynski's and Slott's retcons, while entertaining and cool stories, were quite antithetical to the grounded concept Spider-Man always had.
The problem is that they forced a rather inconsistent unnecessary mythology surrounding Spider-Man... A mythology that is constantly rewritten to the point that it lost any type of plausibility it may have had.
First, they invented that Peter was a chosen one by fate (Shiting a little on how grounded Spider-Man always was) and that there was a lot of Spider-Men out there before Peter forming a spider society; which were eaten by a totemic vampire named Morlun, that aparently was always there and for some reason never came to eat Peter alive, even though it was public knowledge that there had been a Spider-Man in New York for years.
Then they invented that the denied potential of Spider-Man's abilities allowed him to revive with a Power Up if he decided to accept it.
Then they invented that "Other" was not the arachnid skills that Peter refused to accept at first; but a kind of cosmic entity that revives spider-people randomly.
Then they invented a woman who was bitten by the same spider as Peter, who was also possessed by one of these cosmic entities; and apparently according to the exposition she was sooo very important (Although they never showed us that she was special in any way... The Bride had no different abilities compared to any Spider-Totem).
Then they invented that Morlun was not only an interdimensional being, but that he had a family too that was never mentioned before. which kidnapped the Master Weaver, another random totem; which was aparently extremely important to the point that Morlun almost shit his pants when he found that he died.
They also introduced the Web of life, which cutting a single thread apparently had the potential to erase entire universes.
They also introduced that the Inheritors are immortal because they clone each time they die to immediately return to the fight, making all of Peter's fights against Morlun a Plot Hole since Morlun should have immediately returned to continue fighting with Peter every time he "died".
Then they invented the Pattern Maker, something that apparently always existed and for some reason was not part of the ritual like the other four super-totems.
It also seems that the Inheritors now can't eat the Spider-Totems whose power comes from radiation (Stupid thing considering that all Spider-Men with the exception of the clones, Anya Corazón, both Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man India and Spider-Man 1602 have powers originated from radiation.)
Then it seems that the fact that the Master Weaver dies apparently was not for much and has no major consequences.
The same for the Web of life, cutting a thread is catastrophic, but blowing the shit out of it does absolutely nothing.
As I said, they are entertaining stories... But not at all consistent or in tune (To not say antithetical) with the character and what represents.
I hated the spider totem thing from the start, but, ironically, I quite dug when Peter got the powers of the other XD
I have to agree, Spider-Man feels like a really weird character to surround with all this magic multiversal stuff. It’s fine in small doses, but it feels like they’ve been hammering it in since the early 2000s.
The worst part is that, since it's multiversal, there are almost 0 official Spider-Men whose origin isn't now tied to this. Even Life-Story had to adress it.
A mythology work with Wally West and the Flash Family and the Speed Force.
Yeah I enjoyed the Spider-Verse event but they definitely kept trying to one up themselves with all the totem stuff. I mainly enjoyed all the creative takes on the character and how much they played with someone who has had so many depictions. I'm really glad the movie just went with a machine causing multi verse shenanigans and it had nothing to do with any origins or fate stuff.
I always assumed Electro was based on the electric eel and he simply didn't like the whole animal connection
Then what is Sandman?

7:05 And again, the whole thing got started because a lesser-known villain harvested the Watcher's eye after OG Nick Fury murdered him, and the eyeball exploded.
Liked and commented on this video to help the algorithm and also just cos I genuinely like it. I already read both comics, but some clarification on the iffy bits was helpful! Thanks Comic Drake!
I personally thought these aspects of Spider lore to be intriguing. It does give some sort of explanation why there will always be a Spider-Man in every universe.
I can get fed up with the usual status quo seen in other media and I thought those temporarily changes such as Superior Spider-Man and Parker Industries were pretty interesting.
I get that people want Peter to be poor and have a crappy life and undo the great moments in his life which admittedly selfish and a bit toxic nostalgia, but at least writers are trying NEW things with the character that can hopefully stick for a while before reversing to fit the widely perceived status quo that may be liked but ultimately stagnates Peter in a cynical cycle of misery.
Well if your gonna change the status quo do it right
@@argo9721 That is true. However, our view of a good change is subjective. Some complaints can either be valid criticisms or toxic nostalgia.
From what I can see, it can be either the comic industry having questionable directions or fan not giving change a chance and going toxic, or both.
I absolutely agree I’ve literally been begging for something new to push Peter to progress instead of being in the same place he’s been in for years but a loud minority of Spider-Man fans just want him to stick to the ground when he can be more than that at this point in his life. Either that or just let him retire and have miles take over.
@@nathanmason7044 When it comes to American comics, I’ve accepted the fact that the Marvel/DC universes are never-ending and there will always be a status quo. But that’s what makes the occasional shake-ups that more interesting and I find the moments when the hero returns from that change triumphant at times.
But yeah, the never-ending status quo is an intrinsically inherent problem for mainstream comic continuity. A reason as to why Mangas are more popular is because story-wise, it has a definitive beginning and end with character progression that sticks.
@@marcoa6319 yeah manga take more risks and put their characters in situations that they’re not used to which is what make it interesting. Like no character or at least most aren’t really stagnant imo.
I love how so much of Spiderman is just a mess. Between This, The Clone Saga and One More Day... also what was the one where Peter turned into a spider and gave live birth to himself?
Yes... Spiderman attempts to make itself look grounded... but it is just so much bat shit crazy stuff going on... that it is more Spiderman trying to FORCE itself to be grounded as overcompensation
I think the giant spider thing was Spider Island? It was more or less an excuse for him to briefly have organic webs like the Raimi movies
I'm pretty sure that was The Other where the whole totem nonsense started
The web of life and destiny will definitely be a plot point in a future Spiderverse film
Well, I mean, you weren’t _wrong_
I remember reading the spiderverse stuff because I was like ohhh cool multiverse spiderman this is gonna be cool! And then I read abt the chosen one stuff and mythology shit and I was so turned off by it I'm glad that the spiderverse movie essentially had the exact opposite message where that anybody can be spiderman
I'd love to see a video talking about all of the different spider people. I know most of them don't have much detail but some of them are so wacky I feel like it would be a lot of fun!
The whole thing reminds me a lot of the extended origin of Batman as shown in "Dark Nights Metal". Not in terms of the story, but the motivation. Here they try to give more meaning and mythology to a rather simple origin. Unfortunately this often seems forced. Especially for longtime readers.
7:11 this panel is gold.
Also, Mark my words: the next spiderverse event will be called *Arachinarok*
Oh lol that's a good one
@@hixel1268 they could use apocalypse, but I don't know a way to mix spider and apocalypse without it sounding COMPLETELY stupid.
Not like Spidergeddon sounds any better so probably Spiderpocalypse
I'm not afraid to admit that I love the whole Spider-totems and spider-verse stuff. Only comics (besides Boom Comics power rangers) that I actively sought out to buy on comixology. I also really liked Doc Ock as the superior Spider-man in this, it's cool having him riff off of Peter Parker.
11:08 omg that's amazing
Drake rocks the “casual sorcerer” look well.
So many animal-themed heroes and villains, and the only totems to be explored are the Spiders and the Gorillas (M’Baku, who was eaten by Morlun in the comics).
It’s crazy how Spider-verse is one of my most hated Spider-Man runs but the ItSP movies are my favorite Spider-Man film adaptations
I wonder if this will feature at all in the new Multiverse arc of Phase 4 MCU.
Well the next Spider-Man movie will reportedly have Toby and Andrew’s Peters come back for a bit, but I’m guessing that’s the closest we’ll get to a live action SpiderVerse
I honestly don't know which villain faction is worse: The Inheritors, a bunch of poncy energy vampires that don't seem to have any relation to Spider-Man prior to all this totem stuff, or The Poisons, alien parasites that ripped off the Deadpools MO from Return of the Living Deadpool, bonding people with symbiotes in order to convert them into more Poisons. At least a Multiversal Sinister Syndicate or the Doctors Octopi and Electroverse would or do have some connection to Spider-Man.
The Poisons are honestly more of a Venom villain than a Spider-Man villain anyway
Ooooh, what if Spot creates a Multiversal Sinister Syndicate team made up of alternate-universe versions of Spidey’s rogues to be his minions in Beyond the Spider-Verse? That could be really cool
I really liked the video as usual! Keep up the good work! And I am unbelievably happy that there is a CZcams video that mentions the Hostess Snack Universe which contains my absolute favourite character of all time, Windsor Glastonbury AKA the Chairman, who is in my profile picture.
Hey Drake,
How about you do a list on all the other Spider-Man suits throughout the years. Some are interesting and makes me wonder what ever happened to them.
I really love the Superior Octopus Design
Keep it up on your work and this channel
awesome video as always
Honestly, I really dislike the Inheritors. They're too boring personality wise to really remember anything about them, and at the same time they feel like a bunch of mary sues. The way they make quick work of other Spider-People just feels really unearned, like how Solus kills Captain Universe.
To make it even worse, a lot of these Spiders that were killed this cruelly are characters that either existed for a long time and gotten people really attached to them (like Six Armed Spider-Man, which was such a bullcrap way to bring him back), or they were new characters that, much like Spider-Gwen, could've easily gotten at least a mini-series (Aaron Aikman from Edge of Spider-Verse #3 comes to mind, rest in peace).
Thanks for the help, I’ve heard about the spider verse four different times but I only got it with your explanation, thanks for braving these “because comics” stories for us!
Anya Corazon needs more of a spotlight, I know she has mixed reception, but she's one of my favourite mainstream marvel comic characters period
ive been waiting so long for this one
Feels kind of like what Turn Off the Dark tried to pull
Hey Drake, could you make a video on the top 10 most powerful beings in Marvel and/or DC
This was great!
Spider-verse (the comic, not the movie. But also absolutely the movie) was one of the reasons I started to collect comic books! I always learn something new watching your videos, Drake!
Well researched and super informative! ( ^__^)b
Love that opening and great Dr Strange vive you have there
Your hair is giving me great doc strange vibes. Love it!
Great Video Drake.
The spiderverse concept is very confusing and it worries me they would do a batman who laughs like history about an evil peter parker,like a green gobblin peter parker.
We basically have that with Spider-Carnage from the 90s series.
I am genuinely surprised we actaully haven't gotten the dark multiverse Spidermen with how popular(?) The evil Batmen were for Dc and with all the multiverse stuff going on in the movies
@@variangaming8559 YES,exactly,i knew there was alredy that idea somewhere.
And ad evil spiderman from the web of shadows symbiote ending.
Don't give them ideas.
Marvel spy, please read this comment and tell this to your boss, please?
Spider-verse was the.first ever comic I ever read, and I am really proud it was because the multiverse is a really fun part of fiction that I would have had different feelings over if it weren’t for this book. Is it batshit insane? Fuck yes and I love it.
This is basically the council of Reed, the counselor of Rick, and the captain Britain thing which I think is the first time I heard it.
Thanks for the explanation
I see your rockin the Doctor Comfy look
surprised you didn't mention spiders-man having drones in every universe just to watch
Love that they gave Spidey his own speed force 😅
Drake is lookin like Dr. Strange in his winter outfit
I don’t care what the comics say, I will always keep to the original Spider-Man origin
The AI-Verse.
Heres a tale of a normal highschool kid that got bit by a radioactive spider. He first went to the hospital for minor bites, and then kept getting worse. He was sent to the emergency room but doctors assumed it was an allergic reaction because he couldn’t tell if he was allergic to spider bites. He was pronounced fine and was sent home with a prescription. He woke up from a nightmare with neck pain and stiffness and checked himself into the hospital where they discovered that he had a massive necrosis and swollen lymph nodes. He was diagnosed with Q Fever, and given a transfusion. A few days later he woke up with a fever that wouldn’t go away and started to feel weak. He was rushed to the emergency room for severe dehydration. He couldn’t stand on his own, and had trouble breathing. He was diagnosed with Pneumonia and admitted to the ICU. By this point his lymph nodes in his neck had swollen so much that they were compressing his airway and blocking the airflow. He was given antibiotics but was unable to take them due to his immobility. He was given a tracheotomy and was taken to the Intensive Care Unit.
It was at this point that things began to get really bad. The results came back from the bone marrow transplant and it was positive for the Spider Baby Antibiotic Resistance Virus (SPARV). This means that his body became resistant to antibiotics used for his condition. Every day that goes by his body continues to fight against the antibiotics he was given, and he continues to lose his blood thinning abilities. He can no longer receive more transfusions. Once he hit the maximum level of Tissue Thinning, they told him he didn’t have much time left and needed a new liver and a kidney to survive. After an initial search, they were unable to find a match. They placed him on the national liver transplant list. They also told him that the potential donors’ bodies will begin to reject the donated organs.
He is severely malnourished and dehydrated. He has an extremely high infection count due to the combined effects of the surgeries, lack of fluids, bacteria, and fungus. There is no hope for a cure. He will die without a transplant. The only hope is to try a bone marrow transplant. However, because of his past history of rare blood disorders, he has a low likelihood of finding a match.
I have done a complete 180 in the space of a week. I was a recovering PTC skeptic, then I became really emotionally attached to this story. Then I saw that it has already raised $30,000 for his family. I felt the urgency to donate, so I have donated and I encourage everyone who reads this to donate as well.
_" The Incurable Disease Spiderman "_
I feel like I'm one of the strange few who likes the mystic spider angle. I think Pete should still be tech based...but the organic webbing and supercharging of his spider connections was beyond cool to me all those years back
Edit: I kinda the same way Links spirit is still the same kid who defeated *spoilers* but keeps getting reincarnated and repersonified per universe
I remember you talking about totems before and alluding to how complicated it is and boy you weren't kidding but at least some of these stories are worth checking out if you ask me
The comic Morlun was introduced in was one of the first comics I read as a kid, so the whole spider totem thing is something I just accepted
I'd love to see you tackle May 'Mayday' Parker on the channel.
Whoa I didn't know Dr. Strange had his own CZcams channel.
Maaaaann ! Chapeau ! Thank you for this amazing explanation (several times I was like "... Wait what ?!"
7:12
Wait how is this Spider-Man dead if he's just fine in MVC 2 onwards? Then again this is an arcade machine so maybe he respawned after Morlun killed him? But if he did wouldn't Morlun sense him?
Yo, the white streaks would actually look sick on you bro
Love the video
Bruh I'm not gonna lie when I saw Drake the first thing noticed was the hair and even though I've seen a lot of his videos. I was like "damn covid season's been rough out here for ya boy".
Real talk thank you for making this video. I love spider-verse!
The cape is approved
Hey Drake. I'm watching back episodes and wondering if you've thought about doing that episode on captain carrot that you mentioned in your video on black supermen. I'd love to see that(although my dream topic would be Rag Man, he never gets enough love)
Wild that the vampire babies are just dead now
Fuck the Inheritors, I’m glad they’re dead, Spot sweep baybeeeeeee
Love the outfit!
First time I hear of Spidergedon even though Spider verse was the first (and so far only) time I say down to read every issue of an event plus supplementary issues and ongoing series that bled into the event.
I absolutely HATE the concept of the spider-verse in the comics...
It's such a stupid idea! The 2018 movie handled it much better.
Execution I can understand but why Concept
Nice costume.
Ah the Spiderverse. The birth of spidersonas which quickly ended.
Damn you look like you've seen the multiverse
I don’t know if it’s possible but I would love to see a video on the best/your favorite non-superhero comics. I’m a new comic book reader and while I do love superhero comics, I’m still looking for comics that are able to tell different kinds of stories. (also everyone please feel free to drop some recommendations)
Wait, time out! Is that a hoodie with a cape attached? I want one!
I feel like more icons get added to the background between videos.
Could you maybe cover the whole history of Doctor Octopus as Superior Spiderman?
Quitters never win and winners never quit
You choose to wear a cape and don't call ANY attention to it? Total class, sir!
I’m hoping that across the spider verse will have the inheritors as the villains
IIRC, it is mentioned somewhere that Black Panther is also a totem.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up Shattered Dimensions and Web of Time, which were basically prequels to the comic arcs.
I didn't even knew about that stuff... thank you Dr.Strange for telling us!
Spider-Man is the singularity, the center of the universe
R.I.P Karn and Spider Noire 😔
Only peter parker could have a lore this complicated.
I’m surprised Madame web had NOTHING to do with any of this (or wasn’t mentioned in the video at least).
I actually want to know more about the Captain Britain Corps from the peek I saw with Spider-Man UK's section
the reason why morlun family were trying to stop the creation of more spider totens was because of a prophecy that said that the totems would eventually kill them all
Hey Drake, what’d you think of Amazing Spider-Man 73? Particularly the retcon in it.
Don't give up and never give in
I ❤️ this channel
Drake pulls off the cape look really well. Though strange at first, looks good
I ❤️ this Spider-Man multiverse
The Emissary from Hell, Spider-man
It's the Spider-Man equivalent of the speed force!
The gibbon is a totem, I have now been convinced.
