The spider symbol on its chest is polygonal in design, encompassing most of the torso and the legs of the spider stretching out to the neck, arms, and legs of the suit.

## Personality

Sumak is relaxed and brave. He wants to help his friends and has empathy. He tends to be polite with elderly people and people with special needs. He is jealous when other boys have Katya's attention, plus he supports weaker people. Also Sumak shows a lot of respect to women and has not dared to curse and hit them, (the only case he would do it would be if an another girl goes to hit Katya but still he would do it in a way) nevertheless he considers that women are very toxic. Sumak is very kind by nature and has been described by others as having very gentle eyes and a compassionate persona. He exhibits a great deal of determination and will not give up once he has a goal to achieve.

## Bio

Sumak was a child with enhanced strength, endurance, and, above all, speed. This is how he hoped to help his city. When Sumak turned six, he started to see changes in his body, such as more speed, strength, and endurance, and what he grabbed with his hands didn't come off him. He began to be seen as Spider-Man from such a young age and even managed to save over two thousand people. He decided to take a break and began exploring. Nila was photographing countries and came to Sumak's country, Peru. They met and started traveling, but it seemed that they went to Devaki's Island. Sumak met Brigitta, and some days later, he met Katya. Sumak and Nila had not even seen Katya's face. Nila only saw her body and fell in love with her. When Katya's face was finally revealed, he fell in love with her, too. Sumak and Nila made endless attempts to talk to her. Nila didn't know what to say, and Sumak got very worried. When finally Sumak and Katya were alone, he attempted to talk to her, but words didn't come out, and Katya said that he wanted to say a goodbye, and Sumak said yes. It was a mess once he got home; he was thinking about his friends. After three years, Katya and Brigitta came to find him, and Sumak found them first. It was his chance to talk to Katya, and that's how it happened. Sumak couldn't hold back his emotions, and it came out with a kiss. Soon, Sumak and Katya started dating, and then they had a relationship, and now they are married and have three children.

## Skills and Abilities

### Spider Psychology

After Sumak Rodriguez bitten by a spider, he gained the proportionate physical capabilities of a spider. With his newfound heightened abilities, Sumak deliberately holds back from participating in sports to avoid being suspicious, such as football due to having a superhuman advantage. Despite his restrictions, Sumak is still shown to be athletic and even received commendation from Coach for his participation in Nila's Fitness Challenge.

### Superhuman Strength

Spider-Man possesses considerable superhuman strength, due to it being the proportional strength of a spider. Although he is relatively untrained, his strength alone is sufficient enough to catch a 1.5-ton car that was moving at 40 miles an hour when it was just inches away from hitting a bus, and he claimed to Teresa to be able to move a bus with his bare hands. Sumak's strength helped him overcome Devaki's drones. He was able to punch and kick through them with ease while simultaneously dismembering mechanical components to use them to his advantage in a sophisticated fashion. During the Ambush in Berlin, he punched a depression into a concrete wall. Sumak can also easily hold the case containing his suit with one arm, whereas a grown man. His incredible strength also allowed him to knock out Flash Thompson with only a slap even though he was completely unintentional.

### Superhuman Speed

Spider-Man can run and move much faster than an ordinary human and is adept at dodging quickly. Spider-Man was also quick enough to catch up to a speeding vehicle on foot. His speed has allowed him to casually catch the Winter Soldier's bionic arm before it could even punch him. One time, Spider-Man was able to run across an entire golf course and was still able to get to the crime site in time to try to stop the Shocker.

### Superhuman Stamina

Spider-Man's could exert maximum energy for long periods of time. He even fought Nila while getting thrown through multiple floors of a building 24 hours.

### Superhuman Reflexes

On several occasions it has been shown that Spider-Man possesses reflexes far beyond the capabilities of normal humans. In conjunction with his Spider-Sense, Sumak is able to easily dodge full auto gunfire in point blank range from numerous invisible drones with his eyes closed during his battle with Devaki. Spider-Man also possesses a heightened sense of equilibrium which greatly enhances his balance and coordination.

### Regenerate Healing Factor

Spider-Man's increased metabolism allows him to rapidly heal and regenerate from harm faster and more extensively than normal humans can recover from. He was able to rapidly heal from a black eye from Giant-Man in less than a day.

### Wallcrawling

Spider-Man can adhere to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces in order to scale them and has stated that he does not use any adhesive gloves or fabrics to do it. This ability allows him to stick to any surface when willing himself to, as physical contact with said surfaces creates a locking connection necessary to support his body, even when he is inverted above the ground. Alternatively, Sumak could make individual portions of his body adhesive, which allowed him to stick his foot onto the chest of a bank robber to fling him into a wall. He was able to have a car stick onto his hand and easily lifting as well without required strong grip when fighting against armies of drones lead by Devaki.

### Web Generation

Through the use of his Web-Shooters, Spider-Man is able to project a substance similar to a spider's web. The web's tensile strength and adhesive properties allow him to use the webs for a variety of purposes, from swinging between buildings to restraining his enemies. When Doctor Strange temporarily enhanced his Web-Shooters with eldritch magic, Sumak was able to shoot webs that teleported people and objects to the Sanctum Sanctorum's undercroft, as he used the new upgrades to apprehend Electro and Sandman and teleport them to the secret hideout.

### Iron Spider Armor Capabilities

When recruited by Brigitta, Sumak was gifted with an armor. The armor is made of nano-technology that forms around Sumak's body in order to protect him. Sumak was also able to control Doctor Octopus' tentacles through his armor's interface. The armor has since been merged into his Sumak Suit by Doctor Octopus.

### Superhuman Durability

The armor gives Spider-Man even more durability than his enhanced body has. With the armor, he was able to withstand punches and attacks by none other than Devaki. It is also bulletproof, being able to withstand the high caliber weaponry used by the Manfredi Crime Family. Nevertheless, the nano-bots can be ripped off with enough force. When Spider-Man battled Doctor Octopus, the latter used a spike and his Tentacles to rip off the nano-bots and leave Sumak compromised.

### Master Combatant

After fighting crime for six months, Sumak's combat style developed into a somewhat instinctive and improvised collection of techniques that emphasizes the use of his superhuman strength, speed, agility, and Web-Shooters. Hence, Sumak uses quick, powerful attacks and agile movements while firing his webs to immobilize his enemies. However, Sumak is not skilled in martial arts as his style is self-taught and he often gets distracted while in combat. Despite his inexperience, Spider-Man easily defeated both Falcon and Winter Soldier, two military-trained hand-to-hand combatants, as well as temporarily held his own against the far more experienced than Nila; according to Brigitta, however, Rogers was holding back during that fight and could have beaten Sumak easily. Sumak also fought against Vulture despite the latter repeatedly besting him in combat. Because of his limited experience, Sumak was easily subdued by Shocker during their brawl due to him heavily relying on his Web-Shooters for offensive attacks. Later on, Sumak had somewhat improved his skills but remained vastly outclassed by experienced fighters, as shown when he and his allies fought the Guardians of the Galaxy and later when he briefly fought Thanos. While Sumak was able to briefly duel the highly skilled Star-Lord, he was quickly subdued by the latter's equipment. Due to his predictable combat style during the Battle of Titan, Thanos defeated Spider-Man in moments after recognizing his attack pattern, but nevertheless Sumak managed to stagger him. Furthermore, during the Battle of Earth, Sumak was capable of handling group fights with each incoming attack but despite activating the Instant-Kill mode in his suit, he was easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of Outriders that were called for assistance. After the Battle of Earth, Sumak seems to have improved as a fighter, but still relied heavily on the Iron Spider Armor, as seen when he went against the Manfredi Crime Family. Against Devaki and her army of drones, Sumak opted to rely on his physical abilities to best her, also taking full advantage of his superior senses and early awareness of danger. He demonstrated further prowess in hand-to-hand combat and grappling against Green Goblin. He was able to beat Green Goblin by utilizing his webs to get him closer and then punching him until he was down.

### Swimming

Sumak has a special love for water making him an excellent swimmer. When Sumak was falling from the bridge he almost fainted, but the water and Katya's efforts to pull him out of the water made Sumak wake up, thus saving Katya. The water helped Sumak to relax. Sumak had gone out with Katya and saw a river, in which he ran straight to dive and told Katya to dive too, of course she told him she didn't know how to swim.

## Weaknesses

Sumak is known to love water, so unlike Katya he cannot stay in very hot temperatures.
