Hilarious Warhammer 40K Meme About Primarchs

Spider-Man’s Primarch Proposal Sparks Emperor’s Laughter

A Bold Request in the Grimdark

This hilarious meme is a Warhammer 40k and Spider-Man crossover that blends pop culture absurdity with deep-cut lore. The top panel features Peter Parker from Spider-Man 2, cloaked in a hood and staff like a hopeful supplicant, asking the question: “Could you make the Primarchs female?” It’s an innocent, if lore-shaking, request delivered with an earnest expression—clearly unaware of the storm it’s about to provoke. In Warhammer 40k, the Primarchs are the twenty (well, nineteen now) genetically engineered sons of the Emperor, central to Imperial mythology. Changing them would be like asking a Vatican archivist to rewrite the Bible in crayon. It sets up the punchline perfectly.

The Emperor’s Reaction is Legendary

In the following panels, the meme absolutely delivers on comedic timing. The Emperor of Mankind—imposing in golden armor and radiant with regal disdain—initially stares in silent disbelief, almost as if processing the question like a glitch in the Matrix. His expression transitions into open-mouthed, head-thrown-back laughter, as if Peter’s proposal was the funniest thing he’s heard in ten thousand years. The meme plays on the Emperor’s status as a serious, godlike figure incapable of tolerating heresy or deviation from his vision. Juxtaposing his usual grim demeanor with belly laughter turns this into pure gold for Warhammer fans. It’s a perfect example of how meme culture pokes fun at 40k’s ultra-serious tone while staying true to the characters.
