Mike Morales is the black/Hispanic Spider-Man of the Ultimate Marvel Universe. He apparently became Spidey after the Peter Parker of that world was killed.
And in case anyone’s asking, no, I haven’t read those comics. I just Google around a lot.
SSSIIIIIIGGGGHHHHH.
Makes me wonder what the response would have been if they had turned BLACK PANTHER into a Brazilian transsexual and reset the kingdom to Rio.
I learned to read beyond a first grade level because of my great desire to understand my SPIDERMAN comics. Parker/Spidey became an ideal for me. “With great power comes great responsibility.” I haven’t purchased a comic since I turned eleven, but they have effected me.
They could have easily created a KISS-OF-THE-SPIDER-SHEMALE dressed in black leather with pink fish-net. Instead, they pulled them out of the male interns and pissed all over the perceptions of a character of real significance to a great many CHILDREN, CONFUSED TEENAGERS, and nostalgic adults.
Thanks for representin’, Marvel!
