3 Spider-Men Pointing Meme
The image of two Spider-Men pointing at each other is a popular internet meme. The image is taken from the 60’s Spider-Man cartoon episode in which two people in Spider-Man costumes are pointing at each other. There is also a variation of the meme with three Spider-Men pointing at each other. Though it is not obvious, this meme is referenced in Spider-Man: No Way Home when the three Peter Parkers are pointing at each other in the lab (albeit without the costume) when Ned calls out for Peter.
