RUMOR: Identity of New Ultimate Spider-Man

With Peter Parker's demise in the Ultimate universe, Marvel is cryptically teasing away that someone will don the Spider-Man costume in his absence. One prevalent rumor is that a familiar name but unfamiliar face will don the red and blue.

Everyone's favorite clone, Scarlet Spidey!


Could Earth 1610 Ben Reilly be the new Spidey?

The new Spider-Man in the Marvel Ultimate Universe is set to debut in Ultimate Fallout #4. Internet rumors are running strong across the web that the new Spider-Man will be none other than Ben Reilly. Not to be confused with everyone's favorite clone of the 616, the ultimate version is not a clone of Peter's. From the Marvel wiki:

In the Ultimate Universe, Ben Reilly an African-American lab assistant at Empire State University, working with Curt Connors. He was involved in the creation of Ultimate Carnage by combining DNA from Curt Connors with that of Spider-Man, blended with ingredients from "The Suit" (better known as Venom), making Ultimate Carnage something of a clone of Spider-Man. Incidentally, he refers to Carnage (before its escape) as "Little Ben". At the end of the arc, he stole a second Spider-Man blood sample from the lab.

It was revealed that after Ben took the blood sample, he managed to create the five Spider-Man clones while under the employ of the CIA.


There's also a rumor that the new Spider-Man will be featured in the new Disney cartoon show but that seems highly unlikely. A trailer is expected to be shown at the San Diego Comic-Con so we wont have long to wait for answers.







"Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man is a comic book series published by Marvel Comics that debuted in August 2009 as part of the relaunch of Ultimate Marvel under the new "Ultimate Comics" imprint. It serves as a continuation of Ultimate Spider-Man, as well as an all-new series. Starting with the publication of the series' sixteenth issue (January 2011), Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man resumed the numbering of Ultimate Spider-Man (the series had already taken back the Ultimate Spider-Man title in the comic book's legal indicia with issue 3). The numbering will change again after issue 160 through the upcoming Ultimate Universe Reborn relaunch in August.

They had a video of the cartoon online featuring Spiderman and Mary Jane. I highly doubt they go with anyone other than Peter for that.

As for the new Spider-man, I doubt it's going to be Ben Reilly. Nobody is really very invested in that character. I wouldn't mind seeing him explored though. I think Eddie Brock is a good possibility.

Other Ethnicities other than Whites enjoy these characters and stories, as well as supports them. i don't see why having More culturally diverse core characters are a problem. Certainly would help break alot of stereotypes

Ever since Straczynski's run on ASM finished, it's been steadily down hill. Although they had one or two decent storylines during Dark Reign.

@spidermonkeyman

Please don't tell me you are a black guy who just made a "all black people look alike" joke...

Personally I don't mind having black superheros, heck, usually they are badass (i.e. Blade, Steel, War Machine, Cyborg, Falcon, Black Lightning...yeah that's right I went old school). I do have a problem with killing off a classic character and replacing them with black character just to pretend to be politically correct. OK, spider-man died, do we need a black spider-man? Only if it makes sense.

I mean its not like Marvel and DC only run white hero comics. There are alot of black heroes, but they just aren't popular enough. Are comic books racist? Well, the most famous comics were created in a time when racism was high. Batman, a white millionaire, Wonder Woman, a Greek amazon who so happens to look like a white supermodel, Superman, an alien who so happens to look like a white guy. I think as long as their ideals are intact, regardless of their origins, They aren't racist. Does that mean there are more white comic fans then black comic fans? I don't know and I don't think it matters, as long as the characters are true to themselves.

If it ever becomes public that that was the reason for a black Spider-man, then I think that comic will die quickly.

If it was Ultimate Miquel O'Hara I would have to buy the series.
Despite the $3.99 an issue price tag.

Never read the Ultimate Spider-man Series but do currently read the Amazing Spider-Man. Plus everyone knows that heroes always come back from the dead.

Black Spider-Man? Oh wow some of the fanboys are loading up their pitchforks and torches and heading over to the Marvel offices as we speak.
