Set in the 1930s
For those who don’t know, Spider-Man Noir is one version of Spider-Man from Marvel Noir, an alternate reality in the Marvel multiverse set in the 1930s during the Great Depression in the United States.
In this world, Peter Parker is a young journalist who is inspired to fight crime after his uncle, Ben Parker, is killed by the mafia.
One day, Peter found an ancient artifact that freed the spider god and gave him extraordinary powers, including the ability to climb walls, incredible agility, and strength comparable to a spider.
Spider-Man Noir, unlike the main version of Spider-Man, uses firearms and often takes a more violent approach to fighting crime.
