Superman vs. Spider-Man XXX: An Axel Braun Parody is a 2012 pornographic superhero comedy film. Superman (Ryan Driller) must work together with Spider-Man (Xander Corvus), when super villains Lex Luthor (Eric Masterson) and Dr. Octopus (James Bartholet) join forces to attempt to achieve world domination. Lex Luthor is assisted in his evil plot by Eve Tesmacher (Alexis Texas). Lois Lane (Andy San Dimas) is taken hostage and held captive. Superman and Spider-Man are lured into a trap by the villains, and ultimately rescued by Spider-Woman (Jenna Presley).

Film director and writer Axel Braun based the film on the 1976 comic book, Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, and marketed the film using a DVD cover paying homage to the original comic book.[1][2] University of Toronto Cinema Studies Institute professor Dru Jeffries analyzed the film in a case study published in 2016 in the academic journal Porn Studies.[3] Jeffries wrote that Braun's work showcased, "a unique point of intersection between Hollywood, the porn industry, and fandom."[3] The 2020 book Supersex: Sexuality, Fantasy, and the Superhero discussed the film as evidence of a common trope in similar parody films within the genre, where female characters are unable to avoid succumbing to the seduction of the male hero protagonists.[4]

The film received a generally positive reception, with Phoenix New Times placing it among, "The Five Best XXX Superhero Parodies".[5] Inverse praised the film's special effects.[6] BuzzFeed observed Braun's work may be the only medium fans could see specific storylines adapted for film.[7] Uproxx called it "a damn good movie".[8] Cultture put it along with "the 5 most exciting superhero porn parodies".[9] The movie was recognized within the adult film industry with the NightMoves Award for Best Parody,[10] the XRCO Award for Best Parody,[11] and the XBIZ Award for Parody Release of the Year.[12]
