The Spider-signal is a fictional device featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and is associated with the Spider-Man line of comic titles. It first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man, Volume 1 #3 in July, 1963.

The Spider-signal was a device developed by Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man. It was basically a flashlight that projected an image of his mask onto surfaces. The signal was concealed inside of his belt and was utilized as not only a light source in dark areas, but also to announce his presence for the effect of surprising or disorienting criminals.

Notes[]

  • The spider-signal is similar to the Bat-signal used by Batman over in DC Comics. During the time that Otto Octavius was the Superior Spider-Man, the signal was upgraded into a roof-mounted projection device similar to the bat-signal.
