'Across the Spider-Verse' and the Latino legacy of Spider-Man

Retrieved on: 
Friday, June 2, 2023

Now, its sequel, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” features two Latino Spider-Men in starring roles.

Key Points: 
  • Now, its sequel, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” features two Latino Spider-Men in starring roles.
  • Irish-Latino Spider-Man Miguel O’Hara of “Spider-Man 2099,” voiced by Oscar Isaac, is jumping into the fray.

Breaking the mold

    • His powers came from a magical amulet that bestowed him with speed and martial arts expertise.
    • Later iterations of White Tiger included his niece Angela del Toro and his sister, Ava Ayala.
    • The first Marvel Latina superhero, also co-created by Mantlo, was Firebird – real name, Bonita Juárez – who first appeared in 1981.

Spider-Man’s web extends into Latin America

    • In Latin America, Spider-Man has been a popular character since the hero first appeared in his own series, “Amazing Spider-Man,” in 1963.
    • In Mexico, Spider-Man quickly became more popular than any other Marvel character, save for his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.
    • Or maybe Latin Americans love his luchador-esque costume – Peter Parker did, after all, debut his Spider-Man title and threads as a professional wrestler.

An Irish-Latino swings into the Spider-Verse

    • So it was a big deal when Miguel O'Hara took on the mantle of Spider-Man in his own series, which ran for four years.
    • Miguel O'Hara is the future Spider-Man of Earth-616 in the year 2099, a post-apocalyptic future run by greedy corporations.
    • When O’Hara first appeared in 1992 as the main star of the “2099” series, fans embraced him, with little controversy.
    • And perhaps O'Hara’s light skin made it easy for readers to forget that he was Latino in the first place.

Recasting Spider-Man as an Afro-Latino

    • When Morales came on the scene, he wasn’t merely a carbon copy of Peter Parker, though.
    • He was raised by his African American father – an ex-con who had turned his life around – and Puerto Rican mother in Brooklyn.
    • How Morales’ race and ethnicity would play into the stories has been a point of contention.
    • In December 2022, Cody Ziglar, a Black comic writer, took over as the head writer of Morales’ story.
    • As Frank, the comics scholar, notes, these differences can lead to feelings of alienation.
