“I'm about to quit this gig, so congrats, you get to be one of my last catches.”
―Spider-Man 2099 to present Spider-Man, whom he believes is a imposter
Spider-Man 2099 (real name Miguel O'Hara) is a prodigal geneticist of Irish-Mexican descent who works for the megacorp Alchemax. He hails from the future, specifically the year 2099.
After obtaining his powers due to a failed genetic experiment, Miguel O'Hara took up the mantle of Spider-Man and protected Nueva York as it's newest superhero. He is voiced by Freddy Rodriguez.
Spider-Man 2099 was created by Peter David and Rick Leonardi.
In part one of The Spider-Verse, the Green Goblin uses a device known as the Siege Perilous, using Electro as a living power source, to travel to a futuristic dimension that takes place in the year 2099 to find the Spider-Man of that universe, in order to steal his DNA. However, the Spider-Man of his universe, the "Ultimate" Spider-Man, arrives in the dimension as well. Spider-Man is amazed at the advanced, futuristic New York City, before noticing a robbery at Alchemax by robotic drones. Spider-Man battles and defeats all but one drone. However, a Spider-Man dressed in a blue metallic costume comes in and trashes the robot right as it's about to attack Spider-Man. Spider-Man is amazed at Spider-Man 2099's costume, only for the latter to attack him. Miguel questions Peter if he is an android or a clone, which Spider-Man declines, stating he is a counterpart. Spider-Man 2099 is unconvinced and continues attacking Spider-Man. Peter continues to try and convince Miguel that he is a counterpart. Miguel finally relents, telling Peter that he "doesn't know who you're pretending to be". He tells Peter that "Spider-Man is just a legend that someone is trying to recreate....unsuccessfully". However, they are attacked by the Green Goblin. Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 battle the Goblin, though they fail to stop him from stealing a blood sample from Miguel. Having gotten what he sought in the future, Goblin blasts missiles at the building's top level to distract the Spider-Men before opening another time portal to escape. Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 stop it by interweaving their webs together in order to make a cable strong enough to keep the building from collapsing. Miguel thanks Peter for helping him, and Peter tells him that New York will always need a Spider-Man to protect it, and the two bid each other farewell.
Spider-Man 2099 later reappears in part four, summoned by the "Ultimate" Spider-Man, alongside several other alternate Spider-Men, Spider-Man Noir, Spyder-Knight, Spider-Girl, Spider-Ham, and Ultimate Spider-Man to form the Web-Warriors in order to combat Spider-Goblin, an arachnid-esque form of the Goblin caused by injecting himself with a serum composed of every Spider-Man's DNA. The Web-Warriors battle Spider-Goblin, and with the help of Electro, manage to depower him, turning him back into Norman Osborn. However, Electro then betrays them, merging himself with the Helicarrier, transforming it into a massive battle mecha. The Web-Warriors distract Electro while Spider-Girl and Spider-Ham manage to shut down the Helicarrier. After Spider-Man defeats Electro, Spider-Man 2099 returns to his dimension, along with the rest of the Web-Warriors.
Trivia[]
Unlike in the original comics, the animated Spider-Man 2099 has a spider-sense ability (though he did also gain this power in the video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions).
Miguel made a cameo in the 2018 computer-animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, voiced by Oscar Isaac. However, Disney was not involved in the project, purely developed by Sony Pictures Animation.
Issac reprised the role in Across the Spider-Verse; and despite this version of the character teaching us the importance of canon events, the actor's reprisal in the sequel's 2nd half has been heavily criticized by some fans, due to the character's jerky attitude and antagonism towards Miles Morales, as well as delivering one of the most-infamous quotes of all-time, where Miguel tells Miles he was never supposed to be Spider-Man; Earth-42's spider traveling dimensions inadvertently caused the death of Earth-1610B's Peter Parker, the Spot's creation, and the absence of Spider-Man on Earth-42.
