Disney Plus' Loki streaming series has offered up variant takes on numerous Marvel Comics characters who differ significantly from their original incarnations, but Ke Huy Quan's Ouroboros/OB is one of a few who had never appeared in a comic book - until now.
In March 20's Web of Spider-Man #1, OB makes his comic book debut in a glimpse at the Time Variance Authority (including the return of another well-known TVA member, hint hint), to save the life of one of the biggest fan-favorite superheroes in the Marvel Multiverse.
OB and Mobius M. Mobius (you probably guessed it) appear in just one of Web of Spider-Man #1's many vignettes that give readers a glimpse at upcoming stories across Spidey's titles and spin-offs. In the chapter by writer Stephanie Phillips, artist Eric Gastur, colorist Matt Milla, and letterer Travis Lanham, Ghost Spider/Spider-Woman/Spider-Gwen/Gwen Stacy takes center stage (and yes, some of her multiple names are addressed).
Here, Mobius and OB observe Spider-Gwen as she's being chased by a swarm of birds in a mysterious, apocalyptic landscape. Mobius warns OB not to get too attached to any individual incarnation of anyone across the Multiverse, as Variants come and go all the time, and they have to keep their eyes on the big picture - protecting whole timelines.
But OB can't bring himself to watch Gwen be overtaken and pecked to death by the birds, Alfred Hitchcock style, so he intervenes, and brings Gwen through a portal - presumably to the TVA.
The TVA previously had a judge named Mr. Orobouros, spelled slightly differently than the proper way - Ouroboros - as it's spelled in Loki season 2, and in the new comic, but he only had one brief appearance in 2005 in which he looked totally different. The new Ouroboros looks a hell of a lot like Ke Huy Quan and has the nickname OB, making it clear that he's meant to be an adaptation of the MCU character.
As for what's next for Spider-Gwen, she's actually coming to the core Marvel Universe on a permanent basis in a new title, Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider, starting on April 10. It seems the TVA may play a part in that transition.

Another alt-universe version of Gwen will make her debut in Ultimate Spider-Man #4 on April 24.
OB joins the ranks of characters like HERBIE the robot and Harley Quinn, among superheroes who originated outside of comic books .
DC Studios has released a new revealing when the first full trailer for the sequel will drop.
With Marvel's 'From the Ashes' era of the X-Men on the horizon this summer, the publisher is now getting into the side titles that will populate the rest of the new X-line beyond the three core series, starting with a new take on X-Force from writer Geoffrey Thorne and artist Marcus To.
The Purple Man, one of Marvel's most despicable villains, uses his mind-control powers to manipulate and mastermind every manner of evil act. And now, he's stolen Eddie Brock's Venom symbiote in a new flashback story written by Venom co-creator Dave Michelinie himself.
NOTE: There are spoilers ahead for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and potentially for as-yet-unreleased post-launch content.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't one of the most popular titles out there at the moment, and the introduction of The Joker in Season 1 hasn't done much to fix that. There are a bunch of reasons for Suicide Squad's frosty reception, one of them being the treatment of iconic hero Batman, who most fans will know is bumped off by Harley Quinn.
Doctor Doom and the Silver Surfer are two of the next characters getting drawn into Marvel's massive Blood Hunt summer crossover event in the advance solicitations and covers for Blood Hunters #3 and #4, the final two issues of the anthology limited series.
Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson is returning to comics alongside former Lucifer comic artist Lee Garbett, colorist Lee Loughridge of DSTLRY's hit comic Somna, and letterer Simon Bowland for The Big Burn, the story of two demolition lovers enacting a hellish heist to steal their souls back from the devil himself.
Today, Warner Bros. Games and Rocksteady have announced the updated Season 1 roadmap for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
A Joker 2 test screening allegedly occurred, and reactions from the preview suggest fans of the first film will be pleased with the sequel, which may have some familiar faces alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.
Concept art for Spider-Man: The Great Web has revealed that it would have let players create their own unique Spider-persona instead of just customising Peter, Miles, and Gwen.
Web of Spider-Man is a classic ongoing Spider-Man title, which will lend its name to a new one-shot that lays out previews of what to expect for the next year of Spidey stories. And to set the stage, Marvel is bringing back Madame Web following her infamous stint as a movie star.
