'''Spider-Ham''' ('''Peter Porker''') is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[pig]] character who is the [[funny animal]] parody version of [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics']] popular [[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]] character, created by [[Wikipedia:Tom DeFalco|Tom DeFalco]], Larry Hama and Mark Armstrong.

His first appearance was in the 1983 one-shot humor comic book ''Marvel Tails Starring Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'' #1, which was then followed by an ongoing bimonthly series, ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham''. The series lasted 17 issues, all of which were published under Marvel's Star Comics imprint. He primarily exists on Earth-8311, which is populated by other animal parody versions of Marvel heroes and villains.

== Background history ==

Spider-Ham was born a [[spider]], but was bitten by an irradiated anthro [[pig]], transforming him into an anthro pig himself, although still with the abilities of a spider. It's never established whether he is still a spider with the limitations of a pig or a pig with the proportionate strength and agility of a spider.

Spider-Ham begins to fight injustice and the occasional funny animal villain parodied of existing Marvel villains, such as Ducktor Doom, often alongside funny animal versions of Marvel heroes, such as Captain Americat and Hulk-Bunny.

== Comic issues ==
[[File:Spider-Ham variant cover of ASM 528.jpg|right|thumb|175px|Variant cover to Amazing Spider-Man #528, by Mike Wieringo.]]
The Spider-Ham series also included back up strips featuring such characters as Deerdevil ([[Wikipedia:Daredevil (Marvel Comics)|Daredevil]]), Goose Rider ([[Wikipedia:Ghost Rider (comics)|Ghost Rider]]) and the Fantastic Fur (the [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]]).

Some of these back-ups were contradictory, presenting different anthropomorphic versions of characters in different stories, such as two [[Wikipedia:Namor|Namor]] counterparts: the Sub-Merchandiser (a [[dog]]) and the Sub-Marsupial (possibly a [[Wikipedia:Wombat|wombat]]).

However, the Asinine Torch (a [[donkey]]) that appeared in a story with the Sub-Marsupial and the Fantastic Fur's Simian Torch are not two variants of the Fantastic Four's [[Wikipedia:Human Torch|Human Torch]]; since he was depicted as elderly in the 1980s, and referred to as an "old sparring partner" of the Sub-Marsupial's, he was obviously a counterpart to the [[Wikipedia:Human Torch (android)|Golden Age Human Torch]].

== Back into the mainstream ==

The character faded into cult status, alongside other funny animal super-heroes, such as DC's [[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]. It wasn't until recently that the Marvel crew decided to give Spider-Ham another chance.

Returning triumphantly in 2005 by popular demand in a poll in variant cover art for Amazing Spider-Man #528 by artists Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel, Spider-Man Family #1 featured a sixteen-page Spider-Girl story, in which May Parker (Peter Parker's daughter) watches a DVD showing a small portion of a fictional Spider-Ham animated series, discovering that it was created by one of Spider-Man's enemies, Jack O'Lantern. Also in the issue, there was a reprint of ''Marvel Tails'' #1.

Finally, after a nearly 20 year hiatus of Spider-Ham stories, in January 2007, J. Michael Straczynski authored the ''Ultimate Civil War Spider-Ham'' one-shot, featuring Spider-Ham's attempt to find his missing "thought balloons" against a [[Wikipedia:Civil War (comic book)|Civil War]] parody.

==Other appearances==

Spider-Ham has also appeared in other forms of media. In the animated series ''[[W:Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', he appears in two forms, one that Spider-Man turned into by Loki to get revenge on him when he gives him an enchanted hot dog by disguising himself as a hot dog vendor and sends a hunting party to go after him in the episode "Run Pig Run" and later appears as another version Spider-Man meets in the multi-part episode "The Spider-Verse", and in ''Marvel Battleworld: Mystery of the Thanostones'' and ''Treachery at Twilight'', which are series based on the toy line, as well as the web-series ''Marvel TL;DR''. He has also appeared in ''[[W:Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse|Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse]]'' and the short ''[[W:Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham|Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham]]'', which is part of the home video release of ''Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'' and also serves as the prequel, voiced by John Mulaney.

===In video games===
Spider-Ham also made appearances in video games, like ''Spider-Man Unlimited'', ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'', ''Spider-Man: Edge of Time'', ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', ''Marvel Contest of Champions'', ''Marvel Heroes'', ''Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2'', ''Spider-Geddon'', ''Super Hero Squad Online'', ''Marvel Avengers Academy'', ''Marvel Puzzle Quest'' and ''Marvel Contest of Champions'' in one of the quests, which is Back on the Air.

Hybrid

:''This article is about the species term. For the person of this name, see [[Hybrid Wuff]].''
A '''hybrid''' is the offspring of [[mate|mating]] two different [[species]], or two different [[breed]]s of the same species. For example, a mule and hinny are hybrids of horses and donkeys. However, a mule is a cross between a male donkey and a female horse, while a hinny is a hybrid of a male horse and a female donkey.

== Hybrids and furry ==

In the case of [[furry]] [[characters]], a hybrid is frequently a cross of two or more, normally entirely unrelated, species that cannot interbreed in real life, such as [[fox]] and [[wolf]] (commonly called a [[folf]]) or a [[tiger]] and [[Skunk (species)|skunk]]. The latter was popularized among furries by [[Max Black Rabbit]]'s popular character, [[Zig Zag]].

Feasible hybrids that are found amongst the [[furry fandom|fandom]] include the [[liger]] and [[tigon]]. While most hybrid characters tend to be [[mammal]]-mammal hybrids, there are a few cases that consist of a mix of species of two different [[W:Scientific classification|classes]], this kind being most often a [[reptile]]-mammal.
