Hobart "Hobie" Brown is a young adult from Earth-138B who operates as London's one and only Spider-Punk He is a supporting character in the 2023 film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Background[]
Personality[]
Hobie an extremely devout anarchist who chafes at all forms of authority, fights facists in his home world, reacts to being told to help people by insisting with unclear levels of seriousness that he's not doing it because he was told to, and states that he's only really cooperating with the Spider-Society out of personal loyalty to his friend Gwen Stacy. This all belies the fact that he does not approve of the Spider-Society's routine commission of allowing their loved ones to die in hopes to preserve the fabric of the multiverse; he clandestinely mentors Miles to prepare him so that he can fight to protect his own loved ones, and swipes bits and pieces of technology from Nueva York right out from under the Society's nose so he can construct his own dimensional watch and fight evil on his own terms.

Powers and Abilities[]
Hobart seems to possess the same powers that most Spider-People have, with the proportionate strength, speed and agility of a spider, as well as the ability to sense danger on a physical level via a "Spider-Sense". He also has expertise with a guitar, as he’s able to emit a large shockwave attack similar to Miles "venom power".
Hobart is a tech genius, being able to create a successful dimension hopping watch, after studying the properties of the Spider-people's teleportation device. Hobart was seemingly able to create more than one, as he gifted Gwen with one and kept the other.

Appearances[]
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse[]
He first appears in Mumbattan, India, to assist Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen and Pavitr Prabhakar face the Spot who's after the collider (in order to travel the multiverse).
After saving the city, he came to respect Miles but briefly got disappointed when he wanted to meet the members of the Spider-Society on Earth-928 where he witnesses Miguel O'Hara explain canon events. After an angry breakdown from Miles, the latter escapes from the containment field and is pursued by the spider-people to stop him from changing Spot's attack. Amused by this turn of events, Hobie promptly quits the team and returns to his home dimension.
Near the film's end, he is revealed to have made a side trip to Gwen's world, where he leaves behind a box to her father George. When Gwen comes home, he remarks on how Hobie was odd, but he left her something and she finds it is a dimension hopping watch for her to be with Miles and left a note.
At the end, Hobie was later recruited by Gwen to help her and her other trusted friend find Miles who ended up stranded in Earth-42.
