COMICS: Has Marvel Revealed The Identity Of THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN On New Variant?

While it's more than likely just ANOTHER red herring, two Dynamic Forces variant covers for Dan Slott and Ryan Stegman's The Superior Spider-Man #1 may just (again) reveal the identity of the character who will be behind the iconic mask next year.

Not too long ago, a Tweet from Dan Slott - which was supposed to be a "Direct Message" to artist Ryan Stegman - seemingly revealed that Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) would be The Superior Spider-Man in the Marvel NOW! series. Since then, it has been theorised that the accidental Tweet was in fact just a red herring from the writer in an attempt to throw fans off the scent. If the events of Amazing Spider-Man #698 were anything to go by, it worked! However, a couple of Dynamic Forces variant covers for the first issues of the news series features Miguel in a couple of images which definitely seem to hint at him being the new Spidey. So, is this a big reveal or are Marvel and artist Ken Haeser just having fun with us? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

I really hope it's just another one of his plots. I don't think Miguel's a good choice. Give me somebody new.

This is just getting ridiculous. Miguels a great character and I'd love to see a new spider-man 2099 series written by Peter David, but not as the main spidey In the main spidey title.

This is just a sketch cover variant. So basically the artist could have drawn Wolverine on the cover. I wouldn't read too much into this...

I think it may be Miguel O'Hara. But at the same time Marvel could be having fun with us fans again.

@LEVITIKUZ miles hasn't appeared in 616 yet. The closest miles has come to appearing in 616 is at the end of spider-men Peter googles his name and has a shocked expression on his face then the issue ends. And if anything he'll be older because most ultimate characters are younger than there 616 counterparts

@Levit and Spidey.....then that would mean that 616 Miles is white. Nothing wrong with that. I think that its a perfect set-up for Miguel to come back. He goes back in time and has to keep history from being destroyed by keeping the Spider-man legacy. January can't come soon enough

I think it should be someone new; Not Doc Ock or Miguel O'Hara. Both great characters, but like someone else said, not as the main Spider-Man.

@Equivocal show off your marvel cover art before you trash someone elses, then we can rag on yours.

I really wish it was Miguel but i doubt it. I don't understand why they won't just reveal it, everyone will know within 2 seconds of it either being announced or the comic being released. It's like they're just screwing with we fans for the heck of it.

Again, as long as it's not Miles....

@Equivocal
The art won't be bad. They've already shown inside artwork. These are just variants.

Wish it was Peter, but things change. I'd be okay with Kaine, not Miguel.

Watch Dan Slott create a new character called Miguel Morales.
That way his Tweet was actually real, but the red herring was that everyone assumes it's O'Hara.
It's exactly what Slott would do after Alpha...
Alpha's called Andy Maguire as a mix of the names of the Spidey actors. He would easily create a new Spidey using a mix of names from 2 Spideys from different universes.
Not saying it'll happen, just a crazy, yet kind of plausible possibility :P

Peter Parker doesn't deserve an end like that, he has done WAY to much for the universe to go out like that. At least allow him to go out with a bang, and big bag! I really hope some how its not the end for him like that. He has to flip it some how.

@ SpidermanUltimate

It dose look like a 9yr old did the art. And I'll pass on Miguel.
Kaedus
Kaedus - 11/24/2012, 2:39 PM
Doc Ock switching with Peter isn't that Earth shattering.

At the moment it isn't a reboot, or a retcon, or whatever yet. It's just a villain performing a body swap and seemingly killing him. We've seen it before (Kraven's Last Hunt). The reboot will happen after this story. There's 2 issues left.
Sure, Pete may die. But he will go out winning. Amazing Spider-Man will not end with Pete dying in Ock's body and Ock just being Spidey for 2 more issues.
People who are panicking at this are reacting way too over the top. Give it 'til #700. If Pete goes out like a bitch then, then fair enough. But right now we're 2 issues away so there's still some story left to tell.
Kaedus
Kaedus - 11/24/2012, 2:41 PM
And when I say reboot I just mean the next story. Who knows where it'll go. I'm not happy about Pete not being Spidey but I don't think it'll be forever. If it turns out shit...dropped. Could be good though.
