The New Spider-Man Unmasked

The wait is over.



A few weeks back, Ultimate Peter Parker kicked the bucket in spectacular fashion. Sacrificing his life to protect those he loved, the Ultimate Spider-Man we've been following for the past ten years laid down his life in a bout with the Green Goblin. We've known for some time that someone would be taking up the mantle, and Marvel promised us at San Diego Comic-Con that the reveal would come in this week's Ultimate Comics Fallout #4.
 

Turns out, as many expected, we didn't have to wait that long. Earlier tonight, USA Today had the exclusive reveal of who Peter's replacement would be. And after examining the legacy of Ultimate Spider-Man and concocting a poll in which IGN readers voted in overwhelming fashion (nearly 54%!) that Ben Reilly would take over... we were all completely wrong. Head past the image below to find out who the new Spider-Man is.

Meet Miles Morales, a half-black, half-hispanic teenager that will be replacing Peter Parker as the Ultimate Universe's web-slinger. The character is new and represents a clear step towards further diversifying superhero comics.
 
Writer Brian Michael Bendis told USA Today, "The theme is the same: With great power comes great responsibility. He's going to learn that. Then he has to figure out what that means."
 
He continued, "It's certainly long overdue. Even though there's some amazing African-American and minority characters bouncing around in all the superhero universes, it's still crazy lopsided."
 
Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso added, "What you have is a Spider-Man for the 21st century who's reflective of our culture and diversity. We think that readers will fall in love with Miles Morales the same way they fell in love with Peter Parker."
 
And finally Ultimate Comics Spider-Man artist Sara Pichelli said, "Maybe sooner or later a black or gay — or both — hero will be considered something absolutely normal."
 
The article confirms that the connection Miles has to Peter will be revealed when the new Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 launches in September. Though this week we'll only see him intervene in a fight, his eventual origin will show off his new powers and supporting cast.
 
So there you have it! The cat's out of the bag... discuss!

Being Negrotino, I can say that doesn't even look right.  Somethings you just don't change.

You'd have a hard time selling me a white storm from the backwoods of Alabama ...



and on the other hand Emma Frost, Ice Queen, wouldn't work if she was from Compton

People don't remember that when the Original Spidey came out, people speculated that he could black due to noone knowing who was under the mask...

They'll probably changed back to Peter Parker in a few, using some alternate time-line bs

If they want to "diversify" superheros make some new fucking superheros.

Spiderman is a white nerd. Nothing else.

They came up with some crazy ass X-man who was a person of color, whose intestines turned into giant worms that ate anything and turned it into energy...
All the old ones were the coolest, Bishop, Black Panther, Luke Cage,


There was even a X-rated black version of the The Phantom in Natischa of The Lost World.

Marvel has The Blob to cover that---and for stupid power lifters or bbers with no shape, it's The Rhino. For the jealous bber who is constantly eating and thinks everbody is against him, yet focuses on on his sole nemesis, it's Venom. For the huge bber who gets beat up by wrestlers/MMA guys, GI Joe has that covered with Nemesis Enforcer.

Marvel has been garbage since the late 90's
So this garbage doesn't surprise me
Soon it will be spider man is a batty bwoy
Since they sold to Disney or whatever and start making those stupid movies they have gotten even worse
... Money ruins everything
choice is an illusion
