Television
- In Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Ham appeared in the setting of the animated television series where he was voiced by actor Ben Diskin. One day, Peter Porker was eating his Aunt May's vitamin filled pancakes when he accidentally ate a spider. The mixture of the eaten spider and the vitamins mixed gave Peter the proportionate powers of a spider. Using his new-found abilities, he became the hero known as Spider-Ham. He would eventually gain the attention of the world's greatest heroes, The Avengers, and was recruited into their ranks. Sometime later, Earth-TRN456 was visited from Spider-Man and The Goblin from Earth-12041. Spider-Man encountered Porker and asked about Spider-Ham but was told he doesn't exist. Spider-Man was about to leave but noticed the scarecrow and Peter admitted to being Spider-Ham, but had retired due to shame. Just then The Goblin found them and fought with Spider-Man. Peter went to hid but joined the fight after hearing Goblin praise Ham but criticize Porker. Together, Spider-Ham and Spider-Man were able to defeat Goblin. Afterwards, Peter rejoined the Avengers.
Films
- In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Ham appeared in the setting of the animated film where he was voiced by actor John Mulaney. Minutes later, as Peter was going to move away from the villain's lair, he gets sucked into a multiversal portal, transporting him into another dimension, confused since the unexpected turn of events, Peter wound up at the home of the universe's May Parker in search of assistant, where he would met Peni Parker and Spider-Man Noir. Sometime later her met three other Spider-People: Gwen Stacy, another Peter Parker from another universe, and the first-timer Miles Morales. Peter, like the rest of the Spider-People, volunteered to stay behind so that the others could go home, and he could destroy the collider himself. When Miles told them that he would do it, he and the others tried to test Miles' readiness for the task by grilling him and kicking him around, but only succeeded in adding to the pressure the boy felt. They all went to Miles' dorm room later to offer their condolences after the death of his Uncle Aaron, and he, in a rare moment of wisdom, told Miles that they can't save everyone. They all left once they had the goober and proceeded to the Fisk Tower, with Peter B. Parker determined to be the one to stay behind so the rest can go home. Miles eventually caught up with them and, after a tussle with Scorpion, who underestimate him for being a cartoon character, he was the third to be sent home. He left his hammer with Miles before jumping into the portal.
