Stan Lee created Spider-Man in the hopes that anyone who loved reading about the hero’s adventures could also imagine themselves under the mask. The Marvel icon believed Spider-Man fought for ideals and morals that any person would fight for too.
In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, Miles Morales has accepted and embraced his role as the Spider-Man of his universe. But even after defeating Kingpin, the multiverse is still in danger. As the sequel introduces a few more prominent Spider-People, it got us thinking: which Spider-Man would you be based on your zodiac sign?
The following article contains potential spoilers for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. Please do not continue reading unless you have seen the movie.
Aries: Pavitr Prabhakar
The Spot travels to Earth-50101, home to the Mumbattan Spider-Man Pavitr Prabhakar. When he’s introduced, Prabhakar immediately displays his charismatic attitude by describing his experience as Spider-Man as being surprisingly easy.
Prabhakar’s courageous and willing to help Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales without a second thought.
An Aries also tries to remain optimistic, even in the direst of situations, something Prabhakar showed when he needed to save both Gayatri and Inspector Singh. Despite barely holding onto the bus that Gayatri was trapped in, Prabhakar was still confident in his ability to rescue everyone.
Taurus: Miguel O’Hara
Besides The Spot, you could argue that Miguel O’Hara is the second antagonist in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. After Jessica Drew’s persuasion, O’Hara recruits Gwen Stacy for his Spider-Society, a special task force of Spider-People to protect the fabric of the multiverse.
A typical Taurus tends to be gentle and kind, but O’Hara forgoes those traits for a stronger sense of resolve. He’s extremely determined to protect the multiverse at all costs, even if that means imprisoning Miles Morales and allowing The Spot to murder his father.
He highlights how hardworking he is by telling Morales how he’s the only reason why the multiverse remains intact.
Gemini: Andrew Garfield
Sony’s reboot of Tobey Macguire’s iteration of Spider-Man showed a more charming look for the Marvel hero. Instead of being an awkward high schooler, Andrew Garfield leaned into his charisma and even neared the point of being “too cool” for Peter Parker.
It was more of a rebellious view of Parker which featured several traits of a Gemini. Garfield’s character was more independent, youthful, and social than previous iterations of Spider-Man.
Naturally, Garfield’s Parker experienced drastic attitude changes following Gwen Stacy’s death but he came to terms with his pain in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Cancer: Tobey Macguire
Tobey Maguire’s iteration of Spider-Man was many people’s first major look at the Marvel hero. Throughout his trilogy, his character was extremely caring for his Aunt May, showed unparalleled amounts of love and affection toward her and Mary Jane Watson, and would sacrifice anything to protect them.
Cancers tend to be nurturing and observant, attributes that can help mentor someone. Maguire’s appearance in the MCU’s Spider-Man: No Way Home put him in the role of Tom Holland’s mentor.
Maguire was instrumental in helping him work through the pain of Aunt May’s death.
Leo: Tom Holland
A major factor in the uniqueness of Tom Holland’s iteration of Spider-Man is his inclusion in a universe that’s bigger than himself. Spider-Man was the hero in Maguire and Garfield’s films, while Holland is just one of many, highlighted by his introduction to the MCU in Civil War.
Since his cameo and subsequent trilogy, Holland has embraced the characteristics of a Leo by being confident, generous, and extremely enthusiastic about helping others. His ambitious nature pushes him to seek higher plateaus and loftier goals like pleading with Tony Stark to join the Avengers.
But now he will need to channel his decisiveness even more after Aunt May’s death and everyone forgetting his identity.
Virgo: Jessica “Jess” Drew
As Miguel O’Hara’s second-in-command, Jessica Drew radiates Virgo vibes. She’s highly reliable, as she was the one who arrived as a backup for O’Hara on Earth-65.
With thousands of Spider-People to effectively manage, Drew must have immense patience.
Drew also displayed her kind side when she vouched for Gwen Stacy in joining the Spider-Society but once she analyzed the potential dangers of her reaching out to Miles Morales, she settled on the logical answer of removing her from the organization.
Scorpio: Gwen Stacy
Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse opens up with Gwen Stacy’s backstory. We’re introduced to Stacy in the first film but we didn’t know much about her home universe until now.
Despite being Spider-Woman, Stacy experienced a tragic death in the form of Peter Parker which helped us understand her Scorpio tendencies.
Since her best friend’s death, she’s remained dedicated to being a superhero, despite her father being the police captain. However, Parker’s death also affected Stacy in her willingness to open up to others. Even though Stacy became a role model for Miles Morales and allowed herself to make new friends, her natural desire to remain mysterious and keep parts of her life secret never faded away.
Stacy’s fierce loyalty to her loved ones can sometimes put her in sticky situations but she’s smart enough to find a solution.
Sagittarius: Hobart “Hubie” Brown
In a film where everyone shined brightly, Hobart “Hubie” Brown managed to steal every scene he was in. While Spider-Man is a generally honest hero, Brown is brutally honest to the point where he doesn’t care whose feathers he ruffles as long as justice is served.
Spider-Punk despises organized collected power and his open-mindedness doesn’t line up with Miguel O’Hara’s tyrannical rule of the Spider-Society. Brown’s Sagittarius traits continue to stand out in his innate friendliness toward Morales and his decision to help him escape from captivity.
Capricorn: Miles Morales
Since the first film, Miles Morales has quickly grown into an amazing Spider-Man in Brooklyn while also excelling in school. His Capricorn traits stand out in his growing ambition to clear any obstacle in his way, no matter how difficult it might be.
Morales’s unrelenting drive to succeed and never let his loved ones down embodies the definition of being a Capricorn.
Even when Miguel O’Hara tries to explain to Morales that saving his father from The Spot might cause the universe to collapse, Morales remains confident and faithful in his ability to determine his destiny. We witness Morales’s priorities shift from the interest of his friends like Gwen Stacy and Peter B. Parker to the interest of himself and his family.
Aquarius: Lego Peter Parker
Only making a brief appearance, Lego Peter Parker left a significant impact in Across The Spider-Verse. Lego Parker is the first person to notify Miguel O’Hara of The Spot after the villain popped up on Earth-13122.
This iteration of Parker is similar to Parker of Earth-616, just in Lego form. But Parker of Earth-13122 is his own person, which is closely related to an Aquarius.
He exerts a sense of humor that charms several people and is simply a friendly guy. Just the concept of Lego Parker is a unique creation, especially when you consider this entire scene was created by a fourteen-year-old.
Pisces: Peter B. Parker
Peter B. Parker makes his triumphant return in Across The Spider-Verse as a brand new spider-dad. After the events of the first film, Parker rekindled his relationship with Mary Jane Watson and the pair had a baby in Mayday Parker.
In the first film, Parker reluctantly settled into a mentor role for Miles Morales but ultimately embraces it. Parker’s desire to share his knowledge and show immense compassion personifies what it means to be a Pisces.
At first, Parker trusts Miguel O’Hara in making the right decision in restraining Morales for the sake of the multiverse but eventually sides with his pupil.
