His entire kit offers players fantastic mobility, and a chance to use long-range and short-range combat tools.

Marvel Rivals Spider-Man: All abilities
In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man has only one default attack and multiple different active skills along with a passive ability. Here's a detailed look into all of them:
How to play as Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals?
Mobility
Mastering Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals can be one of the most daunting tasks. The character offers a lot in terms of mobility in-game, perhaps the most. Spider-Man can climb and run on walls, just like in the comics. Furthermore, the character can web-sling from one spot to another, offering travel to and fro in a very short time.
Playstyle
While this character offers a lot in terms of mobility, it is still a Duelist character. Players should first try to master the primary and secondary attacks of the web-slingers, those being, Spider-Power and Web-Cluster. Those two are melee and projectile-type attacks which will form the base of attacks. If players master these, then using Spectacular Spin (Ultimate) will be easy as it is just Web-Clusters launched all around.
Next players should focus on mastering maneuvering in 3-D as Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals can climb and run on any wall. Practicing Web-Swing and Thwip and Flip will be essential.
After mastering aerial maneuvers, players can easily move on to the next step of combat with Get Over Here! and Amazing Combo. These two abilities are a step up on Spider-Man's primary ability. The primary ability of the web-slinger is melee attacks with limited range.
However, using them attaches Spider-Tracer to opponents. When a Spider-Tracer is attached to an opponent, Spider-Man can pull them in or slingshot toward them using Get Over Here! ability. The Amazing Combo ability launches opponents up in the air. While this ability deals simple damage to enemies, having a Spider-Tracer on them inflicts additional damage.
Ultimate
The Ultimate ability of Spider-Man, Spectacular Spin, is a basic combo attack dealing damage to multiple enemies in an area. When the ultimate ability, Spectacular Spin, is activated, the web-slinger spins in the air dealing projectile damage to enemies while also stunning them. This ability is great if combined with attacks from teammates after opponents are stunned.
Best team-ups for Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals
1) Venom
Spider-Man, when teaming up with Venom, forms the Marvel Rivals Symbiote Bond Team-Up. As Spider-Man you get to channel a symbiote eventually dealing damage to enemies and pushing them back.
2) Squirrel Girl
Spider-Man and Squirrel Girl team up to form ESU Alumnus. You essentially power up your entire team as you grant Squirrel Girl an active ability to web up enemies using a special web bomb.

Best Marvel Rivals Spider-Man counters
1) Mantis
Mantis is one of the best counters for Spider-Man primarily owing to her Spore Slumber ability. Spore Slumber is used to sedate the nearest enemy which is particularly good against Spider-Man because he needs to get close to deal damage.
Moreover, her ultimate, Soul Resurgence, grants healing and movement speed to allies making it difficult for Spider-Man to keep up.
2) Scarlet Witch
Scarlet Witch is another tough opponent to face as Spider-Man. Spider-Man’s entire kit is based on intricate movement and close-range damage which is extremely difficult against Scarlet Witch’s kit. Firstly, she can go toe-to-toe with Spidey’s movement with her Mystic Projection and Telekinesis.
Additionally, her Dark Seal ability is very annoying for Spider-Man as it makes it extremely difficult for him to get close to deal damage.

Marvel Rivals Spider-Man Lore
While most players might already be familiar with our web-slinging hero, there might be some who will be hearing his name for the first time. If that's the case, it's always best to engage in the lore behind characters to know more about them and relate to their personalities in the game.
Here's an excerpt from the game's official web page. This will provide you with the character's rich backstory:
Bitten by a radioactive spider, young Peter Parker gained the ability to cling to almost any surface, a "spider-sense" that warns him of danger, and the proportional speed, strength, and agility of an arachnid. Now, he strives to use his great power responsibly as the wall-crawling wonder known as Spider-Man. Since the Timestream Entanglement, Spider-Man has been swinging between two battlefronts. When he's not rallying New York' s heroes to fight against ancient forces of darkness, he's busy protecting the Web of Life and Destiny with his fellow Web- Warriors in Tokyo Webworld".
