Spider-X (Brian Kornfield) is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in Midnight Sons Unlimited no3 (October 1993). Because of many people who have encountered Spider-X wearing Spider-Man's costume, he is initially believed that he was actually Spider-Man, mutated by the Darkhold, until Mrs. Kornfield learned the truth and explained it to them. Brian Kornfield grew up off Broadway in New York, raised by his mother, his father having been killed at an unknown time period. He had a very active imagination and idolized all super-heroes, even writing letters to as many of them as he could. His mother was brutally assaulted and mugged on the Streets on New York. Brian became obsessed with becoming a super-hero, so he could find and take down her muggers.
