Being that Spider-Man is generally from New York in nearly every iteration of the character, this naturally led to Spider-Punk being from New York as well. However, the design for the character is based on a version called Spider-Man UK. With that in mind, the decision for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” to change the character to a U.K. punk ultimately makes sense. Furthermore, due to how iconic and influential the new version of the character is, this will likely become the main iteration of Spider-Punk for future comics to draw from.
This is because Hobie Brown is the only character in “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” who refuses to compromise his morals. He speaks up against what he doesn’t like about the Spider-Society throughout, and when they go too far, he not only quits but helps Gwen to start a rival group of rebels from within the organization.

What makes this change even better is that it opens the door for a Spider-Punk reboot. This is actually great news, too, as Spider-Punk has already defeated his nemesis and completed his central arc. A reboot of the character in the U.K. could thus set him up for a whole host of new adventures, especially with the character at peak popularity due to the success of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”
