Uncle Bten

A creature of the Modern Age Spider-Verse, Uncle Bten made their Marvel debut in the pages of Edge of Spider-Verse #1 (2022), conjured by the imaginative team of Dan Slott and Martin Coccolo. With a name that playfully echoes one of Spider-Man's most legendary figures, this character inhabits a delightfully offbeat corner of the multiverse alongside the likes of Pter Ptarker, Spider-Rex, and Aunpt May — company that signals something wonderfully strange and prehistoric is afoot. Though their catalog footprint is small, spanning Edge of Spider-Verse and Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Uncle Bten carries the weight of a name that any Spider-fan will immediately feel in their bones — and that emotional resonance alone makes tracking down these few appearances well worth the hunt.
