So Miguel O’Hara didn’t belong in an alternate universe originally, so much as a potential future to the one Peter Parker lived in. While some Marvel characters, like Dr Doom and the Hulk, would prove long lived to still be in that period, some heroes would be emerging using old superhero identities, but being completely different people. Predating Batman Beyond by a good seven years, Spider-Man 2099 was part of Marvel’s 2099 comics line, set over a hundred years after what was then the status quo. That didn’t actually happen in 2099 (76 years from now!) but instead 1992. Spider-Man 2099 is reportedly set to be an antagonist in the film, but to really understand Miguel, we really have to go back to his creation. Given that Sony has a little bit of money invested in Spider-Man and Fortnite developer Epic Games, this was a no-brainer. Epic has opted to lean into the Spider-Verse promotion and based the skins on their appearances in the upcoming Sony Pictures film Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
