As Gwen becomes more integrated into the Spider-Verse, she picks up a few unique friends, including Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk. As an anarchist, Spider-Punk is a free spirit and openly breaks the rules in the Spider-Society. Inspired by British punk-rockers of the '70s, he can harness the volts of his guitar and use them as a sonic weapon. He is also Gwen's friend, and it is implied that Miles is jealous she has been spending time with the rock-'n'-roll superhero.
