Spider-Man – 2099
Real Name: Miguel O’Hara
Universe: Earth-928 (Marvel 2099)
First Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man #365 (August, 1992)
Being of Irish and Mexican descent, Miguel O’Hara is the first known Latino to take on the Spider-Man mantle. In a time that takes place 100 years after what the people of the year 2099 call the “Heroic Age” (which is really the main Marvel timeline), O’Hara was a geneticist who was working on recreating the same abilities of the original Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and applying them to a group of super-powered soldiers as part of a project for the company he worked for, Alchemax. In a freak accident, O’Hara mistakenly rewrote half of his DNA with that of a spider, thus becoming the Spider-Man of 2099.
