Introduced back in 1970's Daredevil #69 by Roy Thomas and Gene Colan, Turk Barrett made his debut as a member of the Thunderbolts Gang that operated in Hell's Kitchen. This brought them into quick conflict with the Man Without Fear, who teamed up with the Black Panther in order to take the gang down. In the years since, Turk has taken on a variety of heroes, all while cementing his place as one of the most underrated, and underestimated, players in New York City's criminal underworld.
Turk made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Netflix's Daredevil. Portrayed by Rob Morgan, the MCU's Turk would go on to play a part of every one of Netflix's Defenders series, bringing him face-to-face with everyone from Daredevil to Jessica Jones. As a small-time crook and arms dealer, the Turk of the MCU frequently came into conflict with the likes of the Russian Mob and Frank Castle, better known as The Punisher.

Miles Morales is being tested like never before, and one of the greatest Marvel heroes of all time might just be the one to break him.
The Arcadium was developed by Arcade and Mentallo as an expanded and upgraded version of the former's iconic Murderworld. Rather than simply pitting its inhabitants against lethal traps and malicious machines, the Arcadium was an entire world unto itself, one in which its denizens could live out their wildest dreams. Initially, Arcade and Mentallo set out to kidnap and capture wealthy New Yorkers, whose estates could be emptied without their knowledge. Soon enough, the Arcadium's A.I. developed a consciousness of its own, giving rise to the hulking K.N.A.I.V.E.

Spider-Man
Since his first appearance in 1962, Spider-Man has almost always been Marvel Comics' most popular character. Known for his sense of humor and bad luck as well as his selflessness and super-strength, Spider-Man has helmed countless titles over the years, Spider-Man's most prominent comics include The Amazing Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Peter Parker was the original Spider-Man but the Spider-Verse has become an important part of the character's lore in recent years. Multiversal and future Spider-Men include Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Miguel O'Hara and Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham. This provided the premise for the popular Spider-Verse film trilogy, which makes Miles its primary hero.
Spider-Man is also the basis of several live-action film franchises and numerous animated television series. He is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. While he's changed a lot over the decades, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee gave the world an unforgettable hero when they created Spider-Man.
