A city-level threat and a hero whose own head is the battleground

The difference: Same corner of Marvel, played straighter and more anxious

Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter Parker he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

Both lean on scale more than on science fiction

A wisecracking hero-and-sidekick act against a scenery-chewing villain

The difference: MCU multiverse homework — quippy but weightless

Super-Hero partners Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne, along with with Hope's parents Janet van Dyne and Hank Pym, and Scott's daughter Cassie Lang, find themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought possible.

A power inside a person turning hostile and demanding to be fed

The difference: Somber and tragic — no black comedy in the body-horror

The X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe when one of their own, Jean Grey, starts to spiral out of control. During a rescue mission in outer space, Jean is nearly killed when she's hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable.

As Ray first trains with fellow super-soldiers, he cannot recall anything from his former life.
