Shirtless Spider-Man

Shirtless Spider-Man is the Spider-Man of Earth-169999 (our Earth). He virtually indistinguishable in appearance and ability from all other Spider-Men in the multiverse, with one notable exception: his costume. Instead of donning his iconic blue-and-red costume, Shirtless Spider-Man fights crime wearing only a mask and a pair of pants. Why he chooses to do so is a mystery; some suggest that he accidentally lost his costume in a fight with the nefarious Laundry Master, and has yet to save up the funds necessary to purchase a new one; others speculate that he discovered his nipples could shoot their own, organic webbing, and realized that he was going to have to #freethenips if he wanted to take his crime-fighting abilities to the next level.

Contrary to public opinion, there is no relationship between Greg Miller and Shirtless Spider-Man, despite both individuals possessing very similar voices, and often being sighted within Kinda Funny's office on the same day. The reason why Shirtless Spider-Man often appears in said office is because he's gotten into the habit of visiting Comix Experience Outpost (the comic book store located next door), and feels like it would be more true to his character's spontaneity if he entered it by landing on the roof and passing through Kinda Funny first, instead of just walking in through Outpost's front door.

With at least a dozen appearances on Kinda Funny's various shows, Shirtless Spider-Man has managed to attract a considerable following - so much so that Sucker Punch Productions, fearing a boycott if it didn't do otherwise, decided to include Shirtless Spider-Man as a cameo in 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man. Where Shirtless Spider-Man will go from here is unknown - but no matter what he does, there's little doubt that he'll continue to be a beacon of hope in the darkest of hours; a light that shines as brilliantly as his chest hair in a world gone mad with clothing.
