== Characters ==
=== Main Characters ===
* Hobart "Hobie" Brown/Spider-Punk - the Spider-Man of his world who was bitten by a radioactive spider that was mutated by illegal waste dumping, granting him spider-like abilities. Now, he has become a foul-mouthed teenager and punkrock singer who has made it his life's mission to expose and defeat the corrupt heads of government.
=== Supporting Characters ===
* The Revengers - a rebel group based out of America who fight against the corrupt president and his Thunderbolts.
** Karl Morgenthau/Captain Anarchy - the leader of the anarchist rebel group The Revengers and the man who initially inspires Hobie to become a hero. He is a former soldier who was experimented on against his will to turn him into a super-weapon, but he broke free and swore to defeat his former employers.
** Robert "Robbie" Banner/The Hulk - a scientist who was exposed to what should've been a lethal dose of Gamma Radiation but instead mutated into a massive green behemoth. He is constantly being chased by the government in order to replicate his condition, which has turned him into an outcast from most society.
* Felicia Hardy/Black Cat - Spider-Punk's self-proclaimed biggest fan who dons a costume to help him in his war against the world. Although they are allies, Hobie and her have a hard time fully getting along due to her willingness to disregard the lives of innocents. Despite this, the two are attracted to each other and she serves as Spider-Punk's primary love interest.
=== Villains ===
* President Norman "Ozzie" Osborn/V.E.N.O.M. - the psychotic President of the United States who has turned America into a fascistic environment devoid of free speech, filled with propaganda for himself, and where martial law reigns supreme. He also wears the V.E.N.O.M. armor, which he created himself and grants him several superhuman abilities.
** Vice-President Silver Sablinova/Silver Sable - Ozzie's running mate, Vice-President, and the woman responsible for making sure everything goes to his plan. She is a cold woman who is emotionally detached from everything and will do anything to complete her mission. She is also a master combatant and weapons expert.
* Harold "Harry" Osborn/Hobgoblin - President Ozzie's son who is verbally abused by his father, which causes him to constantly seek out his approval. Believing that killing his enemies will please him, he builds weapons for himself and creates the "Hobgoblin" identity to battle Spider-Punk and his friends. His personality is a timid and submissive outer shell which hides a seething anger underneath.
* Thunderbolts - Ozzie's elite militia force, made up of people either mutated by him or given technology that allows them to battle superhumans.
**Otto "Ock" Octavius/Doctor Octopus - the leader of the Thunderbolts and Ozzie's best friend who is a genius scientist with a sadistic streak that wears armor that has four mechanical tentacles attached to its back. He is also depicted as having teeth filed down to points, which he also uses as weapons.
** Maxwell "Max" Dillon/Electro - a man mutated into a living lightning bolt held together by a suit of Ock's own creation. His mutation has left him severally mentally unstable, constantly screaming and ranting rather than talking normally.
** Adrian Toomes/Vulture - the head of Tombstone Records and one of the people attempting to shut down Spider-Punk's music career. He wears armor that has two jetpacks attached, allowing him to fly, and has claws in his hands and feet.
** Aleksei Systevich/Rhino - the muscle of the Thunderbolts and a former soldier turned into a human weapon, not unlike Captain Anarchy. He was both mutated into a much more powerful form and placed in armor that increases his strength and places a metallic horn on his head. However, his mutation has destroyed his mind and caused him to resort to primal instincts.
** Flint Marko/Sandman - a man mutated to be able to turn his body to sand, which he is able to shapeshift in whatever way he wants. He is cocky, egocentric, and greedy, often stealing items during Thunderbolts missions.
** Quentin Beck/Mysterio - the mysterious self-proclaimed "master of illusion" who combines technology and drugs to warp people's perception of the world around them. He is a showman at heart and over dramatizes everything he says.
* Nathaniel Richards/Kang the Conglomerater - a businessman from the far future who had made bank off of merchandising Spider Punk as he decides to go back in time to bring him to the future. After his resistance, Kang decides to try and bring him back any way possible.
* S.H.I.E.L.D. - an organization made up of special agents that specialize in espionage, assassinations, and more.
**Director Johann Schmidt - the man in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a close, personal friend of President Ozzie. He is a psychopath and a sadist who takes great pleasure in his work, especially the more morally question/corrupt side of it. He is also the head of the Weapon+ program, which was responsible for creating both Captain Anarchy and the Thunderbolts.
** John Walker/USAgent - a successful attempt at creating a super-soldier by the government and a foil to Captain Anarchy. He is a sociopath with little regard for anyone but himself and who is dangerously loyal to President Ozzie. He possesses all of Captain Anarchy's abilities and even wields a replica of his shield.
