Spider-Mans is surely correct here because there are both distinct Spider-Men (Miles Morales, Ben Reilly, Miguel O’Hara) and also a super weird alternate reality character called Spiders Man, which is thousands of spiders imprinted with Peter Parker’s consciousnes squeezed into a spandex suit.
enjoying imagining the discussion among editors in which they determined if this ought to be pluralized as Spider-Mans, Spider-Men, or Spiders-Man

The idea of a mind is probably a mistake regarding ai. I think the real question is: if intelligence doesn’t require consciousnes, what is consciousness for?
