ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Spider-Ham’s continuity in his early Star
Comics appearances is occasionally in
conflict with his later appearances: for
example, his world’s analogue of Mary
Jane Watson has been shown as both
Mary Jane Waterbuffalo and later as Mary
Crane Watsow. A possible explanation is
that the earlier appearances take place in
the Star universe (Earth-85481) and Larval
Earth, populated by anthropomorphic
“funny animals” (Earth-8311). This implies
that each of those worlds has its own
Spider-Ham in addition to the various other
alternate-universe Spider-Hams. As with
Spider-Man, there are many alternate
versions of Spider-Man; Earth-25 is
particularly close to the Larval Earth of the
Earth-8311 reality.
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES:
In his first appearances, Spider-Ham
essentially had the same personality as his
616 counterpart did in his early years.

Spider-Ham would meet again with Doom
when Porker would foil the would-be world
conquerors plot to create an army of living
super vegetables. Other notable menaces
Porker would face along the way included
the Bullfrog, the Buzzard, Hog-zilla, the
Kingpig, and Raven the Hunter.
Members of his rogues' gallery joined
together to assemble the Swinester Six.
The six villains attempted to frame Spider-
Ham for a number of crimes leaving web-
fluid over their crime scenes. Peter cleared
his name with the help of Captain Americat
and Iron Mouse.
He and Spider-Man (Ezekiel Sims)
went to Earth-14512 to recruit Sp//dr into
the Spider-Army to stop the Inheritors.
Porker later joined the Spider-Army to
oppose the Inheritors on Earth-001. He
disguised himself as The Scion, preventing
the Inheritors from sacrificing him and
completing their ritual.
When the Multiverse was destroyed
and recreated in the form of Battleworld,
Spider-Ham was recreated in the domain of
Arachnia. He wandered the state until
being mistaken for a man named Brett.
Brett would one day come home to find
Ham in his grandmother's home. He
convinced Porker to join Bellows Bros.
Circus where he was recruited into Ozcorp.
While trying to find out about her
counterpart's life and death, Spider-
Woman snuck into Ozcorp's Special
Projects division, and discovered Peter.
They escaped of the building after being
discovered by Norman Osborn, and was

the heroes concluded that the domain
would go through dire times due to the lack
of authority, but they were ready to help it.
When the Oscorp of Earth-TRN562
was experimenting with interdimensional
travel, they accidentally teleported Spider-
Ham to their reality. He quickly uncovered
the Sinister Six's plot to frame Spider-Man
(Peter Parker), he set out to clear the name
of his human counterpart. He ran into Iron
Man, who recruited him into the Avengers
Academy.
The Ringmaster of the Prime Marvel
Universe captured Spider-Man (Miles
Morales) and Spider-Woman and used
their Dimensional Travel Watch to open a
portal to Peter's world and kidnap
supervillains. Spider-Ham followed through
the portal. Suddenly, the Web Watch sent
the criminals out of that reality. Much later,
crime in New Yolk City slowed to a halt after
the disappearance of Spider-Ham's
rogues. Instead of doing something
productive with his newfound free time,
Peter unhappily moped around. He
eventually realized he need to find his
enemies, when Spider-Guin found him and
took him to Earth-28204. They found out
that Ringmaster had been using his abilities
to mind control his villains to commit crimes
across Manhattan. Peter believed there
were too many villains to handle, so he had
Penguin scatter them across the
Multiverse. He agreed to a partnership and
the two apprehended the criminals one-by-
one.
EARTH-616:
Spider-Ham has been in-continuity for
a while now. Several realities referred to
him as a fictional character in comic books
or television, mostly as a sight gag. Interest
in the character surged with a cameo
appearance in 2010’s Spider-Man:
Shattered Dimensions video game, and his
active participation in the 2014 Spider-
Verse storyline.
Peter Porker may not be as powerful
as some of his fellow Spiders, but his can-
do attitude and humor could easily make
him the heart of any team. Since the
disbanding of the Web Warriors, Hammy
has apparently moved back to his native
Larval Earth, but collaborates regularly with
his alternate-universe counterparts. The
existence of Loomworld, interdimensional-
travel watches, and the Web of Life and
Destiny make it fairly easy to incorporate
Spider-Ham into a campaign alongside
other spider-heroes.

EARTH-616
Misty has been in Earth-616 continuity
since the beginning, being the niece of
long-established character Millicent “Millie
the Model” Collins. After Misty’s high school
graduation, she attended Shady Hollow
Junior College for two years before
transferring to New York University to
complete her degree. Having graduated
from college, she is pursuing a serious
career in acting and is seeking an agent.
An early version of Misty would work
well in a Marvel campaign in a support
capacity, filling the spunky “teen detective”
role. The more current version of Misty,
now a career-woman, could easily be cast
as a junior member of “Models, Inc.” – a
team of mystery-solving models consisting
of Mary Jane Watson, Patsy Walker (aka
Hellcat), Chili Storm, and Jill Jerold. Throw
in fashion designer Janet Van Dyne
(Wasp), and ex-model Greer Grant Nelson
(Tigra), and you’ve got yourself a team!
Misty could also work as a tag-along
supporting character in a superheroing/
courtroom drama setting or secondary arc.
Perhaps Misty or her agency become
embroiled in legal issues or simply need
contract advice from the likes of Matt
Murdock or Jennifer Walters?
Lastly, while I don’t really recommend
using Misty in her Mall Girl identity (it was a
one-time thing), the idea of Boutique
Magique isn’t a bad one. Its background is
never explained, opening the door for
future exploration, and would make for a
quick and easy origin for beginning heroes.

Terry later joined up with Yondu Udonta’s

With Terry and friends’ recent exploits
with the Ravagers, and Drax and his crew,
it would be pretty easy for them to cross
paths with spacefaring or cosmic heroes
such as the Starjammers or Guardians of

would make a great fit in the role of comic

Planet Terry’s unresolved story arcs
lend themselves well to numerous plot
hooks. His main arc of searching for his
