Sorry About The Spider-Man Acronyms: A Guide for the anon @hawkogurl got, or anyone else who needs it. This is only a small selection of Spidey media, but it's the ones that are commonly referred to in shorthand like this.

Movies:

SM1, SM2, SM3: Spider-Man movies directed by Sam Raimi, starring Tobey Maguire.

TASM, TASM2: The Amazing Spider Man movies directed by Marc Webb, starring Andrew Garfield.

MCU: The Marvel Cinematic Universe.

ITSV, ATSV, BTSV: Into, Across, and Beyond The Spider-Verse animated movies.

TV shows:

TNAS: Spider-Man The New Animated Series (2003). People mostly forget this one exists.

TSSM: The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008). Sometimes written as SSM.

USM: Ultimate Spider-Man (2012).

MSM or MSM 2017: Marvel's Spider Man (2017).

Comic series titles:

ASM: The Amazing Spider-Man. Sometimes written as TASM.

SSM: The Spectacular Spider-Man. Sometimes written as TSSM.

WSM or WOSM: Web of Spider-Man.

SM/DP: Spider-Man/Deadpool.

USM: Ultimate Spider-Man.

SM2099: Spider-Man 2099. (Miguel's origin series.)

Frequently used comics universe numbers:

616: The main Marvel comics universe, including ASM, SSM, WSM, and virtually every mainline comic since the sixties.

1610: The "Ultimate" universe, including USM, launched in 2000 and closed in 2015. Miles Morales' home universe.

65 or Earth-65: Spider-Gwen's home universe.

MC2: An alt future universe where Peter's daughter is Spider-Girl.

6160: The... new alt future "Ultimate" universe just opened in 2024. I still don't know what's going on there.

Other random acronyms you'll see:

SM PS4/MSM, MSM2: the Marvel's Spider-Man games from Insomniac.

OMD: One More Day, the name for the 2007 story arc which broke up Peter & MJ's marriage, among other changes.

BND: Brand New Day, the comic arc immediately after OMD. OMD/BND are really two halves of the same whole, so you'll see people use them interchangeably.

KLH: The Kraven's Last Hunt storyline.

TCW: The Child Within storyline.

JMD: J. M. DeMatteis, a comic writer who did both Kraven's Last Hunt and The Child Within.

I hope this helps and, uh, good luck.
