Hobart Brown is a homeless "foul-mouthed" teenager living as a squatter on a canal boat, which serves as his headquarters. He was bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him spider-like powers and leading to him taking up the mantle of Spider-Man in his universe's Camden, New London. As Spider-Man, he is a performer and an activist against the fascism and corrupt systems of his world. Hobie often includes his music and art. He is from new york, and because of that he has a cockney accent.
