What If Spider-Man Lived In Russia? Evgeny Zubkov (also known as the russian spiderman Yevgeny Zubkov) is an illustrator and graphic designer from Saint Petersburg (Russian Federation), he created the Northern Spider, 'a personal experimental project about an alternative "spider-man" in the realities of the Siberian province'. This Russian Spider-Man concept imagines the legendary Marvel hero in an alternate reality, facing the challenges of life in small Russian cities and the post-apocalyptic world.
The artist imagined a world where this alternate Spiderman in the Spider-Verse, the slavic ghetto spider man, knows all about the ups and downs of living in the Russian ghetto. Who is ghetto spider? He's a Soviet Spiderman with a new hand-made suit, fighting cyberpunk men driving crazy futuristic machines. We just love the concept idea of this Siberian man, and obviously Zubkov's craft to execute his vision of spider in russian in this detailed manner makes this even more impressive.
Would you like to see this Russian Spider-Man, one of many fascinating alternate spidermans, appearing in the Marvel Multiverse? With great power comes great responsibility, even for a ghetto spider in an alternate reality. Perhaps this alternative Spider-Man could cross paths with other Russian superheroes like Sergei Kravinoff, Vladimir Kravinoff, Anastasia Kravinoff, Aleksei Sytsevich, Dmitri Smerdyakov, or Albert Malik.
Ok, so the last one isn't from the series, but maintaining the same cyberpunk slav vibe that makes you think "what if spider man was Russian?" it fits perfectly in this alternate Spider-man reality (made by the same artist). The gritty style calls to mind a post-apocalyptic world where even classic characters like those in russian Tom and Jerry have to adapt to survive, much like the Siberian men in Zubkov's Russian nationality-infused take on the famous webslinger.
