He just might be

2099?

Oh also Spiderman 2099 became an immortal demi-god thanks to thor 2099

Meh. Still not as bad as this guy

Kinda NSFW. Doesn't pop.

Tentacle: LineNoise

not only that, but why does he need to have a "normal" alter ego?

he could just live as is, and get a job that is more compatible with his real self like, i dunno, with the police?


I think his stated reason for that is that as an unbelievably powerful being, he would constantly have people following him around begging him to do things for them. his alter-ego is for him to have a personal life.

eggrolls: Sally: Wow. That kind of costume can really fark you up...

Dan: Is there any other kind?

Great quote, except her name's not Sally. Her mother's name was Sally Jupiter; her's was Laurie Juspeczyk (or something like that).

Nah, Still white in 2099.

/Sadly, first comic given to me for Christmas
//The first 25 issues.

It's always funny when members of a website like this call other people nerds...

Wow dude.. wow. That's so outrageously wrong that it made me chuckle.

I think we need to have a Spiderman redesign photoshop contest here on fark. I think we can come up with something better than metallic scorpion penis Spiderman.

arent there any celebrities in the DC universe that he could emulate? he could just live on top of a really tall building with no elevators or stairs leading up to his apartment... and fly away when people bug him too much

or even go live in his ice castle at the north pole or something

I'm actually a Bendis fan, but he writes something like 172 different books for Marvel and I grow increasingly weary of him. I'm thrilled he's off Daredevil. His run started well, but now I'm surprised there isn't a character in that book whose sole job is to kick Matt Murdock in the sack.

/Spider-Man 2099 was actually Irish and Hispanic

Your Boobies looks like a spell check gone horribly wrong. Homonyms FTW.

Ahhh, shiate. Stupid filter.

Vorstyke, Manservant's right, not black, Hispanic.

Yup, I remember the short-lived 2099 franchise, it was right when I was in my comic-book buying age.

For the Dancing Spiderman, I prefer this one

mattharvest:

I think the problem is Marvel now doesn't focus on keeping continuity from being all screwed up.

-that- is why they get to gimmicy solutions like D.C used to/still is doing

Come on, Marvel. Do the math:

Comic book character with a metal scorpion penis = Not cool. Very disturbing. Comic book sales slump worse than Bob Dole without Viagra.

Comic book character with a metal scorpion penis gourd = Nostalgic KISS fans fall in love all over again. Biggest comic sales ever. Still not cool, but hell, unless the illustrations are really acid tabs and the pages are pressed ganja, no comic is really cool. Deal with it.

The mcFarlane Spidey was imho, the best change in look.

Yes, because we all know people weren't reading Spider-Man comics because of his costume.

It has nothing to do with poor writing or art work.

Fark you Marvel, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in comics since Superman Red/Blue. Go to hell.

Don't look at this:

/there's no cancer for the Cure

poor spiderman.

does anyone remember when superman died, in the early 90's i beleive. then they brought him back with what i recall thinking looked like a silver surfer kind of outfit or something. i could be wrong but i dont think i am, anyway what the hell was up with that.

I could understand if there were 4 robotic arms to make him more arachnid-like, but this is weird.

vorstryke:

Spider-Man 2099's real name was Miguel O'Hara - he was half Hispanic and half Irish (or described as such at first - finding out his father was actually Tyler Stone, head of Alchemax about 30 issues in may have changed the Irish half, but we never really find out.) He did have those Batman-esque spikes coming out of his arms, but those were just part of his costume - his real claws came out of his fingertips. And yes, someone futher up the thread was right when they said that he became a demigod after recieving Thor's hammer. For 1000 years, he guided humanity into what it should have been (epic, no?)

mattharvest:

I haven't got all the way through "The Other" yet, but the way you describe Spider-man's clinging ability and spider-sense working are the ways they've pretty much always worked. He's always been officially described as able to stick to things with parts of his body other than his hands and feet (I can think of at least a couple of times where he's stuck to a wall with just his back, and his legs crossed Indian-style in front of him), and his spider sense has always elicited an instinctive response from him (he and his writers have always said as such, and that it takes conscious effort to override those instincts when he's in extreme danger but has something more important to do like defuse a bomb or save an elevator full of people when Doc Ock is about to clobber him). It lets him go on autopilot in a fight and focus almost exclusively on throwing one-liners and insults at his enemies.
If this is how they described his powers working in the newest issues (and said they didn't work that way before), then that's just sloppy writing - but I'll have to see for myself.

Personal rant here of a Spider-Man nature - for the record, spiders DO NOT shed their skins only once in a lifetime. Man, what garbage. It's called moulting, something they do many times over the course of their lives. It's the only way they can grow. (Spider-fans will know what I'm jabbering about here)

My parting words - You'd think Spider-Man becoming an Avenger would be more than enough fodder for some good storytelling without having to seriously muck with him, right? As some others have said - this new costume reeks of a cheap attempt at getting our money.

Anvil, you are a terrible, terrible person.

/Goes to dig eyeballs out with a cocktail fork

MashedPotatoJones: The recent House of M storyline was a result of creators just making up tons of mutants in every marvel book. Marvel had to find a way to make the word MUTANT mean something again....

Basically they are undoing much of Grant Morrison's influence on the xbooks.

Tony Stark is teh pwn, but this costume is sucky. I am sure they are just doing this to create a buzz of everyone complaining just like they did with that new superman costume after he died.

Soon enough, the old suit will come back and we can all rest easy again.

Of course, if I am wrong... CRAP!!!

This suit is totally buzz bunny.

Rhuragh: Your Boobies looks like a spell check gone horribly wrong.

I heart fark-filter.

Didn't know JMS was still writing Spider Man comics

/going to pick that one up for the hell of it

cool_viv_p,

Basically he had an all black costume with a silver "S" on his chest. It was only temporarily until the end of the "Reign of the Supermen" storyline. As to why he didn't just have a spare in the Fortress of Solitude - don't remember the rationale...

Anvil

I'm tying rocks to my eyeballs and throwing them off the nearest bridge.

seems to me that comic book companies are more focused on making a movie then writing and drawling decent comics.

He looks like ZIM!!!

If they're trying to make him look more like a spider, shouldn't he be shooting silk out of his ass.

Apparently this is Spidey's sidekick during the suxxor costume change.



/spins a web any size... to the EXTREME!

"Spider-Penis" ftw

They screwed him up already with a makeover when they replace Ditko with Romita or whoever that conventional hack was. Ditko ruled!

Thank goodness someone came to their senses and knocked THIS one down.

/yeesh.

They ROCK !!!!!!

What ever happened to Rob Leifield?

I think Frank Miller pounded him flat with a ball-pean hammer. At least, I'd hope so, since Rob frequently went to Ronin for his artwork tracework.

Spidey88:

Totally agree Spidey as an Avenger has huge potential that is going unused

let us not forget, the Marvel Mangaverse Spidey! my personal fave and not because i'm a character in the second issue :)
