Spider-Man
Spider-Man on the TARDIS scanner. (COMIC: The Stockbridge Horror)

Spider-Man (COMIC: The Stockbridge Horror) or Spiderman (PROSE: Only Human) was a fictional superhero with the ability to scale buildings by crawling along their sides, not unlike a spider. (PROSE: To the Slaughter) The Seventh Doctor once stated that "with great power, comes great responsibility", a quote that he thought came from Marvel Comics. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys)

Completing the argument that Jason was making about the immortality of fictional characters, the Seventh Doctor said that if Spider-Man aged, he would be collecting his pension. (PROSE: Conundrum) During an attack on the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS, a Spider-Man cartoon show was playing on the scanner screen, shortly before the screen's destruction. (COMIC: The Stockbridge Horror)

In 1972, Maxwell Collins had a shirt with Spider-Man on it. (COMIC: The Pestilent Heart)

In 1977, Billy Wilkins, finding the Eighth Doctor's methods of dealing with the Morg ineffectual, claimed that Spider-Man would've finished it off by now. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game)

Spider-Man web-slinging at Bonjaxx's birthday party. (COMIC: The Incomplete Death's Head)

There was at least one film about Spiderman, though its title wasn't clear. Das watched the film and thought the character Spiderman was real. Jack Harkness told Das that Spiderman was a fictional character in the movie and was played by an actor. (PROSE: Only Human)

Sat in the room of Rick Pirelli, Thad Steiner flicked through a Spider-Man comic. (PROSE: Forever Autumn)

Grant told the Twelfth Doctor the origin story of Spider-Man, however, the Doctor believed that getting bitten by a radioactive spider would result in radiation poisoning. (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio)

Spider-Man once attended Bonjaxx's birthday party at Maruthea. A balloon with Spider-Man's face was also present at the party. (COMIC: The Incomplete Death's Head)

Keepsake passed an individual resembling Spider-Man, but with a trunk, at Huggy's in Los Angeles, 8162. (COMIC: Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling!)

Other references

When Clyde Langer accidentally walked into a spider's web in one of Ashen Hill Manor's secret passages Rani Chandra laughed and said "Very spider-man!" (TV: The Eternity Trap)
