Marvel Announces "Spider-Men"

Who are the Spider-Men?

When it comes to teasers, Marvel is the king. Today they have released a mysterious teaser: Spider-Men.

Could this be Spider-Man and Kaine, the new Scarlet Spider? Ultimate Peter Parker and Miles Morales? Guess we'll have to wait until June. No other information has been released.

Who spiders the Spider-Men?

This is from the Ultimate Universe. The spider on the left is Peter Parker's and the one on the right is Miles Morales'.

Marvel: DC just announced a prequel to Watchmen!!! Quick we need something....uhhh...uhmm...SPIDER-MEN!!!

I doubt it. They went through a lot of trouble killing him. It's probably going to be some kind of "legacy" story where Miles learns about Peter.

I don't think they'd pull something out of there ass, create a poster, and announce it within a day.

It's reminiscent of Death of Spider-Man.

Guys, what about a Pete and Flash team-up??? That's my initial reaction. A mini dealing with Spidey and Venom. They're both Avengers, only one is a "secret".

saoakdenon Feb. 1, 2012 at 12:21 p.m.

Damn Spidey is as busy as the Avengers. Maybe its Spider-Man, Venom, Scarlet Spider teaming up!

That's a possibility....

I SWEAR IF THEY HAVE A CROSSOVER BETWEEN 616 AND ULTIMATE SPIDERMAN I'LL BE SHOOTING WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THE IDEA!

Another guess is a new version of Spider Island. Whatever I think they have I mind, I don't see me (or my wallet) winning.

I dont think that they would make a big deal about Miles learning something about Peter. Plus he pretty much already knows the Peters entire backstory thanks to the strange exposition of Gwen Stacy. Honestly though I would welcome the return of Ultimate Peter Parker. He was a great character who had alot of potential for more great storys and it sucks that he died. Miles isnt even close to Peter Parker in my mind. Plus bringing back Peter Parker right in time for the debut of the Ultimate Spider-man cartoon makes sense from a marketing perspective.

@SexualLobster: To be fair... the poster looks like it was made in 10 minutes on Paint

Gylan Thomason Feb. 1, 2012 at 12:25 p.m.

Didn't we just have this with spider-island? Or is this Ultimate spider-island? More Spider-clones?

If Bendis is involved I'll give it a chance.

SpidermanWinson Feb. 1, 2012 at 12:29 p.m.

An Ultimate universe crossover? Or are they bringing Spidey back in the Ultimate U with MM somehow? That would be very weird. This is WAY to soon for that. I am confused and very skeptical of this one.

Ganthetsward20on Feb. 1, 2012 at 12:29 p.m.

spider-men....but like the minutemen from the watchmen universe. There's enough people with spider powers between the universes to create a team like that.

Dig Deeper into Miles Morales

The current Ultimate universe version of Spider-Man is a 13 year old kid from Brooklyn. Taking on the identity after Peter Parker's death, Miles discovers spider powers of his own after he was bitten by a spider 11 months before Peter died.
