Peni ParkerSpider-VerseEarth-14512

A girl who does not have spider powers, but has a robot, and a spider in the robot who is her friend.

Peni Parker is a young Japanese-American girl from an anime-based universe who copilots her late father’s biomechanical suit with a radioactive spider. Kimiko Glenn plays her in both films.

She is the clearest statement of what Into the Spider-Verse is doing with animation. Every Spider-Person in the room is drawn in the style of their own universe: Peni at a different frame rate, with different linework and different eyes, standing next to a monochrome detective from the 1930s and a cartoon pig. Nothing else in this catalogue has tried that.

Show detailsWhich Earth this is

The films never say the number out loud. The Marvel Database files this version under Earth-14512B, with a suffix it uses to keep the film apart from the comics’ Earth-14512, and describes the page as covering Earth-14512 as the films depict it. The number is shown here without the suffix, which is the wiki’s own bookkeeping rather than anything on screen.
