Missed opportunity for a web seal.

Spiderman has tons of enemies, I hope a bunch show up in the courts.

Yes!!! Bring on Superman, Wonder Woman, Fantastic Four....

These, like the Batman ones, look to have the IP for the movie version, not the comic books. So I would guess that any characters in the deck were in the movies.

Probably just a forced perspective on the image. The seals are the same exact size as all the other circle seals you've seen w/ t11 decks (Mando, Star Wars, Dune, Beatles, Grateful Dead, etc).

I wonder if these will be restricted like Batman and LotR were for int'l buyers.

Not liking the seal, and worried about how bland the cards will turn out in comparison to the amazing box. The usual drill for T11

LMAO the Ace of Spades is the doppleganger meme

DC has Batman to make him a superstar, Marvel has Spider to make him a superstar XD

Love the meme for the Ace of Spades

One of it, I really NOTICE - that it got reused from the Avengers deck

The World of Spider-Man
Marvel’s most celebrated hero is Spider-Man, the friendly neighborhood hero that possess spider-like abilities. He has super strength, super instinct, able to climb walls, and able to shoot webs. And it all started from a bite from a genetically modified spider, and the hero’s journey start after the death of a loved one. Spider-Man is adapted from the comics into eight movies, directed by three different directors and the hero is played by three different actors. Each director’s story plot have different aspects in important parts of the story, thus creating three different universes of Spider-Man: i.e. the situations of the spider bite, the death of loved ones, the villains fought, the settings, etc.

• "Spider-Man Trilogy" by Sam Raimi = The very first movie adaptation series of Spider-Man produced with Columbia Pictures. Peter Parker is played by Tobey Maguire. In this universe's Spidey, he obtains the spider power from a genetically modified spider that escapes in Columbia University - all of spider traits he gained from a single bite. The hero's journey sparks when he allows a criminal walk free who then kills his uncle from a carjacking. He has his best friend Harry Osborn and is in love with Mary Jane Watson. The complete story is told within three movies in the trilogy
  • Spider-Man 1 (2002) = The origin story of a nerd in high school who turned into the friendly neighborhood hero. The villain encountered for this story is the Green Goblin.
  • Spider-Man 2 (2004) = The hardship of living a double life: as Peter Parker, a college student struggling in his studies, hard to get money income as not having a stable job, and the struggle to keep the relationship with the girl VS as Spider-Man, fighting the crimes in the busy city of New York. It is such an existential crisis for the hero. The villain encountered for this story is Doctor Octopus.
  • Spider-Man 3 (2007) = The climax to the trilogy: Peter Parker who tries to propose to Mary Jane as well as fighting the demons from his past by encountering the man responsible for his uncle's death as well as the brawl between his best friend. Also, there is something sinister that stalks the evil side of the hero. The villains encountered for this story are Sandman and Venom.
• "The Amazing Spider-Man" Duology by Marc Webb = The next movie adaptation series of Spider-Man produced when Sony acquired the IP of it. Peter Parker is played by Andrew Garfield. In this universe's Spidey, he obtains the spider power from a bio-engineered spider from OSCORP Industries, which is part of a cross-species genetics program developed by Peter's father, Richard Parker. He gains most of the spider abilties, except for the web shooting - which Peter makes the wrist devices with webs developed from OSCORP. Peter dates with Gwen Stacy, the daughter of the police chief who dislikes the vigilante. The hero's journey starts when his uncle died from getting shot by the thief from the convenient store, whom he tries to hunt with no avail.
  • The Amazing Spider-Man 1 (2012) = The origin of Peter Parker, the son of Richard Parker who was entrusted in care of his aunt and uncle. The villain encountered for this story is the Lizard.
  • The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) = The story of Peter's life as Spider-Man as well as the fresh graduate Peter who tries to maintain the love relationship with Gwen as well as to discover the story about his father. The villains encountered for this story is Electro and Green Goblin [Harry Osborn].
• "Spider-Man MCU Trilogy" by Jon Watts = The latest movie adaptation series of Spider-Man produced with the inclusion of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Peter Parker is played by Tom Holland. There is not any scenes that shown how he got bit by a spider nor any signs of Uncle Ben (since it is basically common knowledge for Marvel fans to know how Spider-Man got his powers). He was firstly introduced when he joined team Iron Man in the Civil War against Team Captain America in Germany, as seen in "Captain America: Civil War". He then assists the Avengers in fighting Thanos. His best friend is Ned Leeds and is in love with Michelle Jones.
  • Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) = Peter Parker tries to lived a normal high-schooler life while doing the duty as a friendly neighborhood hero in Queens. There is the urge of Peter wanting to be a member of the Avengers. The villain encountered for this story is the Vulture.
  • Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) = After the big battle against Thanos, Peter tries to move on and proposes his love to MJ during his school field trip in Europe. But, Nick Fury hijacks his trip as he is needed to help Mysterio, the hero from another universe.
  • Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) = With his identity revealed publicly, Peter enlists the help of Doctor Strange to cast a spell for people to forget Spider-Man. But, the kid botched the spell resulting in other Spiderverse clashes in. This is how the concept of Multiverse starts.

The box of the deck shows the iconic Spider-Man logo, both the artwork and title, in red, blue, and gold foil. The back design almost resembles that from T11’s Avengers, with heavy references of spiders: like the web patterns, the color schemes, the iron arms, and three head icons of three different Spideys. The deck comes in a custom circular red foil seal of Spider-Man’s head.
