Biography
Origin
Hobart Brown was a male human who was native to Earth-138 in the Multiverse. Originally, he was a homeless teenager who was transformed by a spider that was irradiated as part of President Norman Osborn's toxic waste dumping. He becomes the punk-rock inspired Spider-Man, leading the downtrodden people of New York against Osborn. As leader of the Spider Army, they fought against President Osborn's regime, Hobart Brown utilized his free spirit as a 'radioactive suicide machine' to rally support from the lowest classes that the regime was aiming to stamp out in the name of America's 'strength'. When Osborn led his forces, the Thunderbolt Department in the use of the V.E.N.O.M., Spider-Man used 15000 volts of punk rock out of an 'army of amps' to disable the new technologies, then defeated Osborn himself by bashing him over the head with his guitar before Brown unmasked himself to the viewing crowd. (Spider-Verse v1 #2)
Spider-Verse
During the Inheritors Great Hunt, Hobie came to find himself recruited by the Superior Spider-Man to join his army of Spider-Men to combat the vampiric villains. Hobie and the Assassin Spider-Man of Earth-8351 accompanied Superior Spider-Man to Earth-1610, where they rescued Miles Morales and Jessica Drew from Verna and her Hounds, taking the two of them back to their base on Earth-928. Around the same time an independent Spider-Army showed up, and the presense of so many Spiders in one place overload the cloacking device that hid them from the Inheritors.

Powers and abilities

Notes
- Spider-Punk was created by Dan Slott and Olivier Coipel where he made his first appearance in the Amazing Spider-Man v3 #10 (January, 2015).
- The character was based on Spider-Man created by Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and John Buscema.
- As noted on CBR, the design that became Spider-Punk originated as Olivier Coipel's concept for Spider-UK. However, it did not fit due to Spider-UK being a member of the Captain Britain Corps, but Dan Slott liked the design and turned it into a new character instead. The final design of Spider-UK was added after the original pencils of Amazing Spider-Man v3 #9 (2014) were finished.
