This topic is about international versions of Spider-Man and you're happy to share information about international Spider-Men you know of!
First up, Toei's Japanese Spider-Man!
You see, Marvel and Toei made a deal that Toei would make Japanese versions of Marvel superheroes - in this case, Spider-Man! Spider-Man was originally going to be a supporting character in an unmade television series which starred a fictionalized version of Yamato Takeru who was sent to the present via a time warp. However, plans were changed and Spider-Man was made the protagonist instead and Yamato Takeru was retooled into the character of Garia, an alien who gives Spider-Man his powers! The resulting show deviated from the source marerial completely except for Spider-Man's costume as well as some of his superpowers and gadgets!
Other productions as a result of the Marvel/Toei deal were Battle Fever J (a Super Sentai series which was originally planned to involved a Japanese counterpart of Captain America) and an animated (anime) television movie based on the "Tomb of Dracula" comic book series! In contract, Marvel made used the main robots of two of Toei's anime programs, Wakusei Robo Danguard Ace and Chodenji Robo Combattler V, in their comic book adaption of the Shogon Warriors toyline! toy version of Leopardon, Spider-Man's robot from the Toei series, was sold in the United States (and, possibly, other English-speaking/western countries) as part of the Godaikin toyline (if Marvel could adapt the Godaikin toyline into a comic book, we would of gotten the return of Leopardon)!
Despite being criticized for bearing no resemblance to the traditional Marvel version, Stan Lee and the Marvel staff praised the show and said it wasn't a total loss! All 41 episodes of the Japanese Spider-Man TV series was uploaded onto the official Marvel website with English subtitles as well as a theatrical version of the show (labelled "episode 0") plus the show is considered canon with the Marvel multiverse and this show's version of Spider-Man (who secret identity is "Takuya Yamashiro"), as well as Leopardon, will appear in the Spider-Verse story arc!

Hay! Smurfs, let's do this, if you don't like something, keep it to yourself. If someone likes something, don't say something that might make them feel bad. But nothing against you two, just for the future....
