Spider-Man’s introduction to the MCU can be summed up with one word, “Underoos.” That, however, is not the case around the world.

Making changes to a film that caters to a specific region is not uncommon, and it was no different for Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War. One fan-favorite scene involves Tony Stark calling Spider-Man by yelling “Underoos.” The only problem is that Underoos are a relatively US-based brand, so the term needed to be changed for other international markets.
Reddit user NaNowhyMo compiled a list of all the different phrases used around the world (via ScreenRant), and the results are fantastic. You can view the whole list below.
- English: “Underoos”= Underoos
- Portuguese: “Novato” = New Guy
- French: “Collants” = Leggings
- Italian: “Bimbo Ragno” = Spider-Baby
- Latin America: “Oye Nino” = Hey Kid
- Polish: “Siusiumajtek” = Bed wetter
- Russian: “ะฟะฐััะพะบ (paoochok)” = Little Spider
- Brazillian: “Pirralho” = Brat
- Turkish: “Pijamalฤฑ รocuk” = Kid with the Pyjamas
- German: “jetzt Kleiner” = Now little guy
- Hindi: “Chhote Ustad” = Little master
- Swedish: “pyjamaspojken” = Pyjama boy
- Hungarian: “Rugdalรณzรณs” = Onesie
- Korean: “JolJori” = Skin-tight leotards
Terms like “Onesie,” “Kid with the Pyjamas,” “Bedwetter,” and “Spider-Baby” are comedy gold, while “Little Spider” is probably the most compassionate. “Leggings” is great too, as is the Korean phrase that translates to “skin-tight leotards.”
