Well, Ultimate Spider-Man, anyway. Following the death of Peter Parker in #160 of Marvel‘s Ultimate series (yeah – dead), someone had to fill Spidey’s tights. Enter Miles Morales, the half-Latino-half-African-American teenager who debuts in Ultimate Fallout #4.
Despite the fact that Ultimate Spider-Man exists in a totally different universe to the well-known Amazing Spider-Man, with totally different parallel realities and no bearing on each other at all, the internet has gone crazy-ape bonkers at the news that the costume of a fictional character in a series they’d never heard of is now being worn by a different fictional character, who, to add insult to their considerable injury, is also one o’ them different types. Another win for the creeping PC agenda!
