Son of Spider-Man

Son of Spider-Man is a superhero comic book series published by Marvel Comics. The series was initially published in late 2014 as a mini-series but was an unexpected success and was renewed as an ongoing series. The series is set 30 years into the future and, similar to MC2's Spider-Girl, follows the child of Peter Parker, in this universe a 14-year-old boy named Benjamin Richard Parker (Benjy), who attempts to become his father's successor after developing spider powers of his own. The series was also the initial launch title for what would become Marvel's All-New, All-Different MC2 imprint.

Main Characters

 * Benjamin "Benjy" Parker/Spider-Man - the protagonist of the series who is Peter Parker's 14-year-old son. After developing powers similar to his father's, he decides to become his successor despite his parents' objections. In his everyday identity, he is a shy and timid high school student with a love of pop culture, his favorite being the fictional series "Fighter Squad Go", but as Spider-Man he becomes more confident and willing to talk back to others.
 * Peter Parker - the first Spider-Man and Benjy's father. Contrasting heavily with his younger years, he has become very serious and cold, though he makes occasional jokes. This is likely caused from bitterness at the loss of his arm during his final fight against the Green Goblin. However, he has great love for his family and will do anything to protect them. Due to his disability, he mostly works as a stay-at-home father.
 * Mary Jane "MJ" Watson-Parker - Benjy's mother and Peter's wife who is a go-getter with a strong sense of justice and a tendency to make quips. She works as a reporter for the Daily Bugle, being the primary money-maker of the house. Despite Peter's personality change, she still loves him and her son greatly and does her best to keep both happy.

Supporting Characters

 * Stanley "Stan" Osborn/Redcap - Benjy's best friend and initially his only friend. He is the child of Harry Osborn and the villain Lily Hollister. Like Benjy, he is considered a nerd by his classmates and is also into a lot of the things that Benjy likes. Unlike Benjy, however, he is more willing to raise his voice and stand up for himself. It is later revealed that due to both of his parents having the Goblin Formula in his blood, Stan has developed a split personality known as Redcap, which has all of the traditional ideals and powers of a "Goblin" themed villain.
 * Jessica "Jessie" Jameson - a classmate of Benjy's who is a rambunctious tomboy on the Midtown High football team. She is initially disliked by both Benjy and Stan, who see her as a bully, but she later apologizes for making them feel this way and becomes a close friend of the two. However, much like her grandfather, J. Jonah Jameson, she is not a fan of Spider-Man, who she sees as "some punk that got lucky" as oppose to other superheroes who had to work for their title.
 * Joseph "Jojo" Robertson II - another football player who befriends Benjy and Stan around the same time as Jessie, who is his best friend. He is a would-be fitness trainer and is constantly attempting to get Benjy and Stan in shape. In later stories, his character is deepened, revealing that he comes from a lower-middle class home and has become a delivery man for the villain The Shatter, who is having him move illegal items. He later breaks out of this and becomes more of a social influencer, doing his best to help those in need.
 * Gwendolyne "Gwen" Osborn - the younger sister of Stan and Normie Osborn, named in honor of the deceased Gwen Stacy. She is a girl with Asperger's Syndrome who has trouble speaking to others, properly reading people's emotions, and is all-around very shy. She is initially home schooled due to social anxiety but becomes attached to Benjy during a visit, with him becoming her tutor and her eventually deciding to transfer to Midtown High after gaining more confidence in herself.
 * John Jonah Jameson IV/Arachni-Man - Jessie's twin brother who is a comic relief character. He has a fascination with martial arts, despite never having studied one, and does a poor attempt at hiding his admiration for Spider-Man. Inspired by him, he attempts to become a hero in his own right, creating the knock-off identity of "Arachni-Man" to help in the fight against crime and supervillains.
 * Daily Bugle - a news company that specializes in stories related to superheroes and superheroic activities.
 * Wanda Wayne - the newest Editor-and-Chief of the Daily Bugle, replacing the late Joseph Robertson I. She has a generally antagonistic relationship with most superheroes, preferring to print stories about their lowest moments, though she claims to have no actual hatred for them. Despite having overwhelmingly negative traits, she is shown to have a soft spot that comes out when no one else is around.
 * Jacqueline "Jaq" Murdock/Nightdevil - the daughter of Matt Murdock and Elektra Natchios who was raised with a strong sense of justice and due to it, becomes a member of the NYCPD. She figured out that her father was Daredevil and trained with her mother to become a vigilante inspired by Daredevil. She is devoted to cleaning up New York, taking down as many criminals, cartels, and crime lords as she can. She is a close ally to the new Spider-Man as both a cop and as Nightdevil.
 * Ahmed Safar/Moon Knight - an Egyptian-American investigative journalist who was assassinated by a hitman hired by the villain The Shatter due to Ahmed performing an investigation into him. Brought back by Khonshu as his avatar, he becomes the new Moon Knight. However, brain damage sustained from the assassination causes him to suffer from disillusion and severe paranoia. He occasionally meets and teams up with the new Spider-Man.
 * Gerald "Gerry" Drew/Spider-Man - the son of Jessica Drew and an unidentified father. He is incredible serious-minded and much more brutal than both his father and most other spider-themed heroes. He has all of his mother's powers and has decided to use them to combat crime. He is older than Benjy but has only started crime-fighting in recent years and instantly develops a rivalry with the boy over which of them is deserving of the name "Spider-Man".

Villains

 * Norman "Normie" Osborn II/Venom II - the CEO of Osborn Industries, which he formed from the ashes of OsCorp, as well as the oldest child of Harry Osborn. He is a genius who is driven to a fault, often ignoring his siblings in favor of his work, which itself would often delve into grey areas or even criminal acts. Suffering from a life-long hatred of Spider-Man, he worked against Benjy from behind the scenes until his crimes where exposed, at which point he bonded with a clone of the Venom symbiote for revenge.
 * Lionel Agger/Minus - the heir of the Roxxon Corporation and the son of the supervillain Dario Agger. He is a sixteen-year-old genius with a superiority complex. At first, he went to Midtown High with Benjy but dropped out after gaining a criminal record. Believing his life to be ruined, he fashioned a high-tech super suit and began hunting Benjy, eventually discovering his secret identity.
 * James Ruth/The Shatter - a superhuman mob boss with an icy cold personality. After the death of Wilson Fisk, AKA Kingpin, he quickly took over as the unquestioned head of crime in New York. He is a Mutant born with glass skin, which he is able to shapeshift at will into any form he wishes but is able to be broken with ease.
 * Flynn Peck/Scorpion II - a bank robber who was mutated by Normie Osborn in an attempt to recreate the villain Scorpion. However, his mutation was much harsher, with him resembling a monstrous scorpion-like humanoid with a biological tail and a claw for an arm. It also affected him mentally, driving him mad with a want for nothing but to be cured.
 * Jason Sinnian - a time traveling intimidating and cool-headed serial killer who targets superheroes. He wields a katana which fires beams of energy and is from a future where a superhero went mad and conquered the world. Blaming all heroes for the state of his future, he traveled back in time and swore to kill them all. In a crossover with Avengers of Tomorrow, it is revealed the hero that went mad was their leader Sam Rogers.
 * Michaela Green/Swarm II - a teenage prodigy and former schoolmate of Benjy's who created a type of nano machine that could be controlled mentally. When her invention was stolen, she turned to a life of crime for revenge and became an enemy of the new Spider-Man's. She is able to use her nano machines as both an offense and a defense, engulfing herself in them.
 * Ian Wayne/Goblin - the anger-prone leader of the Goblin Squad Biker Club and the son of Wanda Wayne, who he hates with a passion. He does not have any powers, but makes up for it with his incredible physicality and mastery of bats, chains, firearms, and knives. Even before forming his gang, he was infamous for his violent tendencies and brutal methods. Both he and his gang are obsessed with the ideology of the deceased Green Goblin and have modeled themselves after him.
 * Kadri Kara/Fire Ant - a mercenary and assassin who is mostly mute, only speaking in one sentence, or even one word responses. She combines deadly martial arts with an affinity for fire-based weapons, such as wrist-mounted flamethrowers, and Pym Particles which allow her to shrink both herself and her opponents.
 * Cain & Vince Muller/Sandmen - a pair of criminal brothers that specialized in robberies. They were first thought to be fools due to rarely succeeding in their crimes, but they were eventually mutated by Normie Osborn into new versions of the Sandman. They both have the same powers as the original, though they still serve more as comic relief villains despite their incredible power.
 * Jedediah Walker - a southern-accented S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who is more of an anti-hero than a full-on villain, but clashes with Benjy more often than not. He is the head of the Juvenile Superhuman Division (JSD), which captured and arrests underaged superheroes. He has allowed his power to go to his head and will sometimes disobey his superiors to complete his supposed "mission".
 * Dr. Markus Grimm/Rampage - an Osborn Industries employee who was obsessed with the symbiotes. He is the creator of both Normie Osborn's Venom clone and his own artificial symbiote which he bonded with during a time when Benjy was possessed by the Carnage symbiote in an attempt to obtain it. A genius and a madman, Rampage is one of the most dangerous opponents Benjy has ever faced.
 * Sylvie Marsh/Lollipop - an up and coming mob boss who has a bubbly exterior yet is extremely deranged and has a love for violence. She is themed around candy as she enjoys dressing in colorful outfits and carries around a lollipop shaped-hammer. She has an obsession with becoming one of the biggest mob bosses in New York, clashing with Spider-Man and other mob bosses and gang leaders.
 * Jin Nakiyama/Ryoshi - a Japanese hunter whose family was cursed centuries ago for every male child to have an insatiable bloodlust. After the curse began activating, Jin spoke to a Japanese mystic who told him that the only cure to his curse was to hunt and kill Spider-Man. Later, he discovers Benjy's true identity and begins to believe the Spider-Man he has to kill is actually Peter Parker. His curse grants him increased strength and agility, but also greatly affects his mind.
 * Dr. Avery Chance/Syren - a disgruntled scientist at Osborn Industries who has developed tech that allows the user to hypnotize anyone they want. After getting fired by Osborn Industries for her supposed "lack of morality", she goes insane, stealing her hypnotic tech and becoming a super villain terrorist out to destroy Osborn Industries.
 * Milo Morbius/Vampire King - the son of of the anti hero Michael Morbius who inherited his father's vampire-like abilities. Unlike his father, he begins believing that he is nearly a god, wanting to take control of New York City and to be worshipped as a king.
