The Spot is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most often as an adversary of Spider-Man and Daredevil. The character, created by Al Milgrom and Herb Trimpe, debuted in The Spectacular Spider-Man #97 (1984). Known for his distinctive appearance—white skin covered in black, portal-like spots—the Spot's real name is Dr. Jonathan Ohnn, a scientist who gained his powers through a botched experiment involving a portal to another dimension.

Dr. Ohnn's transformation occurred when he tried to recreate a teleportation system for Kingpin. The experiment opened a portal to a dimension of space warps, but its instability forced Ohnn to leap inside. When he returned, his body had become a living conduit for these warps, with the spots acting as portable gateways. These spots allow the Spot to teleport himself, objects, or others across short or long distances, and even through dimensions.

The character appears in a silent cameo in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), and is voiced by Jason Schwartzman in its sequels Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) and the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
