The Spider-Men

The Spider-Men was a group of alternate versions of Spider-Man from various parallel universes. They were pulled together through Madame Web and the Beyonder to stop Spider-Carnage, yet another alternate Spider-Man, who had destroyed every universe. Their adventures became to be known as the Spider Wars.
Members
* Spider-Man, the leader of the group, though this created some disagreement among the group. He proved his leadership abilities during the Secret Wars. He was the one that finally caused the downfall of Spider-Carnage. After the defeat of Spider-Carnage in his own ruined universe Spider-Man went alone to the armored Spider-Man's universe to finally defeat the powerful foe.
* Scarlet Spider, the reason for the need of the team. He was thought to be a clone of his world's Peter Parker. He changed his name to Ben Reilly. However, Curt Connors discovered that he was the original. Peter grew angry and bonded with the Carnage symbiote and became Spider-Carnage.
* Spider-Man (Armored), the rich and arrogant one of the bunch. This version never knew failure because in his world Uncle Ben never died. He was well loved by even J. J. Jameson and Wilson Fisk. He even has his own robot. However, his arrogance gets the other members of the team in trouble when he fails to think before he acts.
* Spider-Man (Mechanical Arms). In this one's universe he defeated Doctor Octopus and took his mechanical arms. He then built a visor so he could control them. However, he was defeated by the armored Spider-Man who recklessly used a knock-out gas missile.
* Spider-Man (Six Arms)/Man Spider, this version suffers from the same mutation that Spider-Man suffered. However, in his universe he adapted to the mutation and decided to cover his arms and give each a web shooter. However, when they were attacking Spider-Carnage he further mutated into Man Spider and attacked Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider. The Beyonder then used the rest of his remaining power to return him to his own dimension.
* Spider-Man (Actor), a completely powerless human. In his world at least Spider-Man, Hulk, and Fantastic Four were creations of Stan Lee. He was initially not allowed to come along, but when Man Spider attacked he was transported there to help stop him. After Spider-Carnage had been defeated Spider-Man followed the actor to his world to meet Stan Lee.
* Madame Web, a powerful cosmic being that is the assistant to Beyonder. She trained at least Spider-Man, and possibly the others as well. She provided him with lots of helpful advice, though he often resented her. After the Spider Wars she took Spider-Man to find the real Mary Jane Watson.
* Beyonder, a powerful cosmic being. He sensed the destruction of the different universes and together with his assistant they reversed time and trained the various different Spider-Men. He initially presented himself as a villain when he tasked Spider-Man with winning the Secret Wars. However, that was merely a test of his character. However, outside of his universe he grew weak.
