In 2009, Marvel started a new universe of stories set in a Noire like film. Starting off this universe was Spider-man, introduced in Spider-Man Noir #1 (2009) by David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky and Carmine Di Giandomenico. Set in the 1920/30s, this universe was similar yet vastly different to the main universe. Many of the heroes are more violent vigilantes, while many of the villains were more freaks and gangsters. Peter Parker backstory was pretty much the same, being raised by his aunt and uncle. However, in this universe, they were human rights activists helping those suffering during the Depression. Ben had died before the story began, being killed off by a business owner for organizing a worker’s strike. He was killed by this universe’s Goblin. Having found his body and the police not helping, Peter sought justice. While working for Ben Urich, he received a tip-off. He went to source and found Goblin unloading stolen antiques from a container. One of these antiques, a spider statue, breaks open and releases a load of spiders, one of which bites Peter. This cause him to have a dream of a spider god and he woke with Spider powers. He began wearing a mask, based on his uncle’s army gear and started trying to bring down the Goblin.

The Noir story line revolved around many controversial stories of the time, including the mob life, drugs, corrupt cops as well as pre-World War II Nazi sympathizers of America and racism.  This tale proved quite popular and later started to include other heroes like Daredevil, Punisher and even Iron Man. He later got a second volume as well as starring not only in video games but also appearing in the Ultimate Spider-man TV series, albeit a different storyline for it.

Noir is one character that took a long time to get made. Hasbro had the body for it (the Starlord/AIM Soldier) and it was one of the most requested versions of Spider-man to date. It’s surprising that UK and Punk got made before him.
