I was talking about Captain America, not Spiderman although in the 1960's was the height of the civil rights movement. There's multiple stories regarding the origin of Spiderman that were created as with other comic book characters.

Heck, most people don't know that in one instance, Cyclops from the X-Men became Captain America

Multiple stories of spidey's origin? No there isn't, there's one. See Amazing Fantasy #15.
If youre thinking Stan Lee was thinking spidey was gonna be black, i've never read this anywhere. The idea was supposed to be a broke teen who got picked on who turns into a hero. Nothing about being black anywhere.

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!

HAve you looked at the latest birth rate statistics?

Mexicans and blacks are fornicating at peak rates, in 10 years 80% of comic readers will be hispanics.

Thats not spider man.

Why doesnt marvel just invent new guy?

I dont get it.

Parker · « **Reply #62 on:** August 04, 2011, 10:37:53 PM »

From my understanding this is Ultimate Universe, Spectacular Spiderman probably will stay Peter Parker. Am I correct?

I think it's a great idea that there are 20 Spidermen, the amazing Spider-Man, the spectacular Spider-Man, the ultimate Spider-Man, the poor Spider-Man, the gay Spider-Man, the stupid Spider-Man, the special Spider-Man (in a wheelchair) so that every minority or majprity has its own Spider-Man.

Just like the various X-men comics, Uncanny X-Men, Ultimate X-men, etc, etc

And, BTW:

"It has been announced the Joe Mad will be doing an ongoing comic with writer Zeb Wells called "Avenging Spider-man", which will start in November 2011 and feature Spider-man teamed up with various member of the Avengers"

Look at it this way, it's the return of Joe Mad to a Marvel series (not just Ultimate Avengers 3)

Seriously though, i think they should have made more Spider-Man 2099, i really liked that they made Spider-Man different.

I also liked the Scarlet Spider, but all in all the clone saga was utter bullshit. I love the alien symbiote, that was the most change they could have done with Peter Parker.

Killing him is just dumb, he will be back in 3 months. It's the same as DC did with Bruce Wayne retiring as Batman...

There should be a law against fucking up comic book continuities and killing off characters.

Unfornately, sales rule...once they did the Clone Saga, and DC did the Bane/Batman and Death of Supes thing, all bets were off the table

Sure, i also see the point in that you start from the beginning to catch younger customers.

They did a good thing with the Star Trek reboot movie, for example. Which kid would be bothered to watch "Star Trek XXVIII" with 70 year old actors?

But in comic books, the changes are often too drastic, too often and worst of all, they will be undone too soon. I don't bother buying comics anymore anyways, i wait until a good storyline is finished and buy the softcover, for example Batman Hush or Ironman Extremis.
