Spider-Man 2099
superhero appearing in Marvel Comics
Spider-Man 2099 is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Peter David and Rick Leonardi in 1992 for the Marvel 2099 comic book line, and he is a futuristic re-imagining of the original Spider-Man created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. His true identity is Miguel O'Hara, an Irish-Mexican geneticist living in Nueva York (a renamed New York City) in the year 2099 who attempts to re-create the abilities of the original Spider-Man in other people. An accident causes half of his DNA to be rewritten with a spider's genetic code, granting him powers identical to those of the original Spider-Man, with several notable exceptions. For instance, he lacks a "spider-sense" but has sharp talons protruding from his fingers and can secrete a paralyzing venom.
The character has appeared in several media adaptations outside of comics. His first significant non-comic book role was in the 2010 video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, where he was voiced by Dan Gilvezan, and its 2011 sequel Spider-Man: Edge of Time, voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes. In the 2012 animated series Ultimate Spider-Man, he was voiced by Freddy Rodriguez. The character made his cinematic debut in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), voiced by Oscar Isaac, who reprised his role in the sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).
