Paul Rabin Paul Rabin is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 6) #1 (April 2022) and was created by Zeb Wells. Paul is the son of Benjamin Rabin, also known as the Emissary, and studied mathematical quantum computation under his father and colleagues, stumbling upon information condensing cryptography that resembled symbols of Mayan scripts and other ancient languages. While Paul and the others were discovering "cheat codes" in reality, Rabin was communicating with Wayep and destroyed their Earth for power. Paul killed his father and survived on the decimated Earth for years until Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson were marked and transported to his reality by their version of the Emissary. When Peter tried to adjust his dimensional travel watch to send MJ back to Earth-616, MJ pushes him in while also killing Wayep in the process. As Spider-Man scrambles to save her, due to the time dilation between the two dimensions, she bonds with Paul and they adopt two surviving children named Owen and Stephanie. Paul also developed a prototype random powers generating gauntlet that MJ uses to fight off the monsters in their world. Peter, with the help of Norman Osborn, manages to return to their dimension to rescue them. When they come to Earth-616, MJ refuses to part with Paul and her new family, leading to tension between Paul and Peter. The Emissary eventually returns to kill MJ, but he dies thanks to Ms. Marvel disguising herself as MJ, resulting in him making the wrong sacrifice. Stephanie and Owen are revealed to be magical constructs created by the Emissary and vanish. To cope with the loss of the children, MJ becomes the superhero Jackpot, with Paul operating as her man in the chair. Paul is nearly killed when Peter is infected by Norman Osborn's sins and becomes the Spider-Goblin, but is rescued by MJ. Paul and MJ take custody of Dylan Brock following the event of Venom War, though unbeknownst to him, MJ had become the new host of the Venom symbiote. MJ later breaks up with Paul after admitting their relationship has not been working for a very long time. During the Death Spiral storyline, Paul is murdered by the serial killer Torment when trying to protect Dylan. Though not on Torment's target list, Paul is killed for being in his way, while also disregarded by him as someone with no significance to anybody.
Critical reception of Paul Rabin Paul Rabin was negatively received by both comic book readers and critics, with much of the criticism centered on his role in separating Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson to maintain the post-One More Day status quo, as well as lacking a distinct personality or meaningful character development. Reader backlash towards Paul was reflected in letters published in The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 6), many of which criticized the character and his role in the series. Comicbook.com's Misael Duran highlighted how Zeb Wells' efforts to portray Paul as a sympathetic and non-antagonistic figure ultimately left him feeling narratively insignificant. While criticizing toxic behavior directed at the character, Duran agreed that much of the criticism toward Paul was justified and joked that the comics would be better if he "pulled a Poochie and returned to his people." Paul's death in Venom (vol. 6) #256, which leaked online prior to the issue's release, was reported to have been widely celebrated among portions of the fandom. Joshua Fox of Screen Rant described some the dismissive reactions from other characters as a "meta commentary" towards Paul's reputation while James Whitbrook of io9 remarked that "the issue handles Paul's death surprisingly cruelly", making it easy to read as reflecting years of fan hostility toward the character.
Other versions Paul makes an appearance in the 2026 Superman/Spider-Man crossover anthology. After MJ breaks up with him, he goes on a blind date with DC's Power Girl at The Bar With No Name, who quickly grows bored of his personality. They are suddenly attacked by various Marvel and DC villains, who have mistaken him for Vandal Savage and want to collect his bounty. He runs off as the villains are defeated by Power Girl and the Punisher.

The official subtitles for the film lists the character as "Paul", implying that he is meant to be the MCU's adaptation of the character. However, Esfandi has denied that he is Paul, aware of the character's negative reception amongst comic fans.
