Web-Man



Web-Man was a clone of Spider-Man created by Doctor Doom utilizing a tool called Twin Mirror. Intending to use Spider-Man's great strength and power for his own benefit, Doom flipped the switch to reverse his clone's personality traits, intending to make a clone as evil as Spider-Man was good, resulting in Web-Man. Unfortunately for Doom, while Web-Man did reverse Spidey's inherent goodness, he also reversed Spider-Man's intelligence and bravery, creating a villain who was as dumb and short-sighted as he was powerful.

Quickly realizing the clone's inherent flaws, Spider-Man was able to outsmart the clone and then track Doom down, where he quickly destroyed the Twin Mirror and defeated Doom and his evil clone.

Spider-Man Retro Series - Web-Man (2021)
Web-Man was released as a fan-channel exclusive as part of the Spider-Man Retro series, featuring cardback art stylized to resemble to original Toybiz Spider-Man toyline from the 1990's. Web-Man is based on the original artwork of Winslow Mortimer who penciled the Spidey Super Stories comics that adapted the Electric Company Spider-Man stories from 1977. Web-Man features a reversed color scheme from a traditional Spider-Man costume, with much lighter shades of Red and Blue. The figure was initially announced on April Fool's Day of 2021 due to the humorous nature of the character's obscurity, and released in September of that year.

The figure is a straight repaint of the Sunfire body mold that had previously been used for Spider-Man (PS4) and Cyborg Spider-Man in the same line; specifically utilizing the same head sculpt as the former. As is traditional for both Retro Series figure and Fan Channel exclusives, Web-Man included no Build-A-Figure piece, but did come with three sets of alternate hands, allowing him to be posed with fists, open palm Wall-Crawling hands, and web shooting hands.
