Marvel Animation's newest Disney+ series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, has been released to rave reviews. This list ranks the best characters in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man based on their personalities, role in the story, voice acting, and room for growth.
Marvel Animation's newest Disney+ series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, has been released and opened to rave reviews. People are praising creator Jeff Trammell for the wonderful alternative Marvel Cinematic Universe adaption of the character.
They're especially commending him for how well-written every character is and how many story possibilities each one may have to offer. Marvel fans already know that the likes of Daredevil and other MCU cameos are coming, but as of the first two episodes, there are already some incredible characters to fall in love with. Peter Parker's supporting cast is extremely compelling already and only has room to grow, giving people a lot of hope for the rest of this ten-episode series. This list will rank the best characters in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man based on their personalities, role in the story, voice acting, and room for growth.

Tompkins Creator Jeff Trammell Seasons 1 Powered by Expand Collapse 10 Amadeus Cho Played by Aleks Le While he really doesn't have much screen time in his first appearance in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Amadeus Cho almost immediately made his mark with his bold and brash personality. Not to mention, he's a character ripped directly from the comic books and could mean some cool stuff for the future of the show. In Marvel Comics, Amadeus Cho is also a young man with a genius-level intellect. However, he eventually becomes the hero known as Brawn, turning into a Hulk-like figure. There's no way that Your Friendly Neighborhood adapted Amadeus Cho into a character with such a big personality only to use him for just one episode. There's huge potential for the young scientist to potentially become a much larger character in the future. 9 Doctor Strange Played by Robin Atkin Downes The fan-favorite MCU sorcerer, Doctor Strange , is the character who puts the whole inciting incident into motion for the origin of this adaption of the character. While fighting a bizarre, Venom-like creature through the multiverse, Doctor Strange accidentally brings the radioactive spider that ultimately bites Peter. Doctor Strange puts the whole inciting incident into motion for the origin of this adaption of Spider-Man. Doctor Strange already has the bonus points for being a hero that people loved beforehand, thanks to Benedict Cumberbatch's performance in the MCU. But there's also a likely chance he makes a comeback later in the show, as he leaves a lot of questions surrounding Spidey's origin open-ended. He serves as a mysterious plot point that will be very engaging in the coming episodes, should they choose to pursue that thread. 8 Harry Osborn Played by Zeno Robinson Anyone who's seen a Spider-Man project in the past knows who Harry Osborn is. Typically portrayed as Peter's best friend and the son of the often villainous billionaire Norman Osborn , Harry provides some amazing conflict for the young hero, making him a crucial point of friction for the lives of both Peter and Spider-Man. Harry represents a well of opportunity for the show to become something new while still paying respect to the source material. While he's not besties with Mr. Parker just yet, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man very well could be leading to that. But, based on how the series is handling the source material so far, there's also an awesome chance for them to subvert this friendship and turn it into something new and unique. Harry represents a well of opportunity for the show to become something new while still paying respect to the source material. 7 Pearl Pangan Played by Cathy Ang Peter Parker seems to have a trend of liking girls older than him. Taking the place that Liz Allan had in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Pearl Pangan was once Peter's babysitter and gives the writers of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man the chance to do something fans have never seen before. Many may not know that Pearl is also a hero in Marvel Comics. While she most likely will not take up the powers of her comic book counterpart, Pearl's water-based powers could be a cool counterpart to Spidey's more physical abilities. Could her hero persona be adapted to the new animated series? Maybe, but most likely not. Still, Pearl is another great chance for Marvel to give fans something they're not used to. They've seen Gwen Stacy and MJ before. Pearl can provide a whole new relationship dynamic if done right.

The classic scientist-turned-villain has been a staple in pretty much any Spider-Man continuity so far. The doctor has yet to appear in the MCU, so Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man took the chance to do it before them. However, their adaption of the character is a bit different from the Connors most people think of. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man introduces Carla Connors , a female take on the character that is already a great support figure for Peter in this new world. It can already be reasonably predicted that she'll become a fan favorite, as she totally came through for Peter when the grumpy scientist leading his group tried to smack-talk him.

Pretty much no matter what universe she's in, she's a huge support system for Peter and his rock in a world that is larger than him in almost every way. While the Avengers fly overhead and the X-Men take on giant robots, Peter always has his lovely Aunt May to go home to. The same can definitely be said about the version of May found in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. May is a lot more hands-on in the first episodes of this adaptation. She's there for the entire spider bite sequence and stays with Peter the whole way through. Her bond with the teen is also well-established through conversations about Uncle Ben and growing up. It doesn't take a genius to see that May is going to be a warm light in Peter Parker's life, as she has always been. 4 Norman Osborn Played by Colman Domingo People have been waiting for Norman Osborn to make his way to the MCU for a minute now. He makes an appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home through the multiverse, played by the iconic Willem Dafoe, but the cinematic universe still has yet to introduce its unique interpretation of the villain. Taking the place of Tony Stark in this new adaption, Norman Osborn is already one of the series' best characters. It's quite obvious that Jeff Trammell and his team are setting up the billionaire to be a villain in the future, as he's always been. Thankfully, though, it won't be the same thing audiences have seen in the past. With the new direction of him about to take the Wall-Crawler under his wing, the connection between the two has a whole new doorway to different areas of conflict between the two. He also does far better service to the story than Stark did, as Marvel is clearly a lot less scared to paint Osborn's billionaire status as a major red flag for a working-class hero like Pete.

She's a very cool magic user on the Hulu show, but she's certainly an odd pick for a supporting character in a Spider-Man series, of all things. While it may be peculiar, that could be the very reason she's a great character. Not only could Nico become a hero alongside Peter, but she seems to be taking the role of a peer in Peter's life who will keep him grounded and be the type of person to shake the Web-Slinger out of a rut when he inevitably gets in trouble. She's also the perfect Ned Leeds replacement, helping him in Peter's hero life if she ever finds out about his secret identity.

He's already written to be the most compelling character outside the protagonist, even getting a little side plot in the introductory episode. The show clearly cares about making him a character that audiences care about, and it's working. General audiences may not be familiar with the character, but hardcore Spider-Man fans are, making them understandably very excited about his future potential. Many may not know that, in the comics, Lonnie is one of the Web Head's toughest foes, Tombstone . Clearly, deciding to showcase the character as a close friend to Peter now means that Jeff Trammell and the team behind Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man are most likely setting up a friends-to-enemies arc, much like the kind typically found between the hero and Harry Osborn. The potential for Lonnie is through the roof.

The Peter Parker in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a great blend of Tom Holland's iteration and the classic comic book source material. This Pete is full of spirit and youthful charm while still having a heart of gold that shines through. This Spider-Man can not only kick butt but will also convince a store owner to cut someone down on luck break for one mistake and save pets in a pet store. The Spidey in this show is charming, lovable, and, most of all, heroic; everything a Spider-Man needs to be amazing, spectacular, and astonishing. He's also still a kid and far more inexperienced and messy than the MCU's main iteration, giving him a plethora of room to grow and become a better hero. It's safe to say that this Spider-Man is going to be one of the books.
