Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man set is full of Spider-Verse Spider-Folk including the superhero identities of Peter Parker's alternate-universe wife and daughter

Spinneret and Spiderling race over the rooftops of New York.

It's wild to think how influential Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was. The actually pretty good videogame from 2010 gave us a meeting of four alternate Spider-Mans, though that wasn't enough for one its writers, Dan Slott, who thought it would be better with all of them. That inspired him to write the crossover Spider-Verse, which in turn inspired the animated Spider-Verse movies, the live-action movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the character's whole modern status quo where he's part of his own multiverse of Spider-People.

Which includes Spinneret and Spiderling, as depicted in this preview card from Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man set. They're from an alternate Earth where Peter Parker and MJ stayed married and had a daughter, Annie-May Parker, who developed spider-powers of her own. She became the superhero named Spiderling while MJ, thanks to a high-tech suit that lets her share her husband's abilities, fights crime alongside her family as Spinneret.
