The continuation of Spider-Man in Spider-Verse is on the way, and one of the protagonists is the enigmatic Spider-Man 2099, who has already enjoyed success in the comics

Spider-Man through the Spider-Verse, sequel to the critically acclaimed – and Oscar-winning – animation that introduced Spider-Man’s Multiverse to mainstream audiences, is coming. And one of the most attention-grabbing things in the previews so far is the highlight given to Spider-Man 2099, a character who had success in comics in the 90s and also recently returned to comics. But who is this figure, and what are his powers?



The Multiverse, in this case the Ragnoverse; alternate versions, so other realities, or timelines, were increasingly present in DC Comics, until the late 1980s. wonder I’d also flirted with something like this in the past, but it wasn’t until 1992 that the publisher decided to do something specific about different versions of its main characters, in this case in the future.

Spider-man 2099 was the title that launched a universe of titles, starting with Miguel O’Hara, an engineer of Icelandic and Mexican origin who worked at the corporate giant Alchemax. Also reluctant to participate in an experiment on the process of recording genetic codes in human physiology, O’Hara, at the urging of his boss, agreed to conduct tests on a human being, who died in the process.

Dissatisfied with the episode, O’Hara, even before he could resign, was drugged by his boss, who intended to make him addicted to a hallucinogenic narcotic. Desperate, the engineer tried to use the genetic code recording experiment to try to get rid of the substance, and although the process was sabotaged in an attempt to kill him, O’Hara survived.

But as a result of this even more sabotaged experimental process, O’Hara mixed his DNA with the genes of a spider. And, unexpectedly, instead of dying, he acquired various powers.

What are Spider-Man 2099’s powers

While he has several superhuman attributes reminiscent of the original Spider-Man, Miguel O’Hara has a very diverse arsenal of powers. In addition to strength, endurance, agility, reflexes, a healing factor, endurance, and increased speed, Spider-Man 2099 possesses accelerated vision, allowing him to see objects at greater distances with perfect clarity, including the ability to see in the farthest range. complete. .darkness.

O’Hara has a series of spinnerets capable of releasing a very strong, sticky, web-like substance from his wrists, which is used in a similar way to Spider-Man’s original webs. Furthermore, he has elongated canines, capable of secreting a poison which, although non-toxic, is paralyzing.

It also has small retractable claws on its fingertips, which allow it to climb surfaces and tear apart tough materials such as cinder block. One of his most impressive abilities is the ability to project a “decoy”: O’Hara moves so fast that he can leave behind a “fake body”, as if it were a copy of himself, causing his enemies attack a fake version of yourself.

Is this possible Spider-Man through the Spider-Verse introduce or even change some of the characteristics of Spider-Man 2099, played on the big screen by Oscar Isaac – and that’s what we’ll see once the Sony Pictures film hits theaters this week.
