Spider-Boy’s entry promises tales of adventure, identity, and legacy. So, who is this Spider-Boy, and why should he catch your eye?
In 2023, Marvel Comics unveiled an intriguing new character to its universe, taking the Spider-Verse by storm. Meet Bailey Briggs, an 11-year-old prodigy known by his superhero moniker, Spider-Boy.
Bailey Briggs is no ordinary pre-teen. He possesses a set of unique spider-powers that range from the conventional super strength and wall-crawling abilities to more unusual traits like venomous fangs.
But Bailey’s journey wasn’t without its perils. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, he was erased from the Web of Life and Destiny, rendering all memories and evidence of his existence obsolete.
Bailey’s reintroduction to the Marvel Universe, as seen in “Edge of Spider-Verse #3,” paints a young hero yearning for acceptance and understanding in a world that has forgotten him.
As he swung through the skyscrapers of New York City, eager to reignite old connections, the title “Nobody Knows Who You Are” echoed the stark reality of his situation.
Everyone, from common folks to villains like Mister Negative, seemed oblivious to the young wall-crawler’s existence.
Despite his superheroic capabilities, Bailey remains a child lost in a perplexing world. While fellow Spider-Totems have largely overlooked him, Christina Xu, in a touching gesture, introduces Bailey to the F.E.A.S.T. shelter.
