While all that’s happening, I will hop into this list of the Top 10 Shocking Marvel 2099
Facts.
Intro Time.
#10 Creation Stan Lee came up with the idea for Marvel
2099 when he began to collaborate with John Byrn on Ravage 2099, a comic that was intended
to explore the future of the marvel universe.
It was the early 90’s and the society was becoming worried about what the next millennium
would hold, and Stan wanted to explore that and try to re-assure the population that things
would be fine, so he decided to explore the later years of the 21st century.
The collaboration with John Byrn fell through however but Stan was onto something and wanted
to pursue the idea further.
Joey Cavalieri was very enthusiastic and put himself on the sheet for an entire Marvel
2099 collection, and Joey became responsible for overseeing it.
It started in 1992 and concluded in 1996 and had a whole roster of heroes.
Both old and new.
But if it ended in 1998 then why are we talking about it now?
Well that leads me too.
#9 Being Revived in November Revealed at the Diamond Retailer Lunch at
San Diego Comic-Con the Marvel 2099 comics will be getting revived and new releases starting
in November of 2019.
This was announced by marvel with the teaser *80 years ago it was 1939.
80 years from NOW it will be 2099.* demonstrating that we are currently at the halfway point
between the beginning of marvel and the furthest point we’ve seen.
Not much is known about what comics will be coming back at the time of recording, but
I think its safe to say that the original line up of Doom 2099, Punisher 2099, Ravage
2099 and Spider-man 2099 can be expected.
But for sure the last one, spider-man was the most popular 2099 incarnation and has
been in several other forms of media after the series had ended.
Even being transported to present day for a time.
Who do you want to see come back in 2099 or even someone new in 2099?
Let me know in the comments!
#8 Why it Stopped Marvel 2099 was one of the casualties of war
as Marvel Comics battled with potential bankruptcy, as changes in leadership came on almost a
weekly basis.
As a result of the potential loss of the company, they had to downsize.
Joey Cavalieri was one of the people let go, and basically every other write who had to
do with 2099 resigned in support of Joey.
Marvel hired replacements to wrap up 2099 over the next little it.
Despite it only running for a few years it was hugely successful overall.
Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O’Hara has appeared many more times for the rest of the comics.
Be it as an interdimensional superhero with a team called the exiles or as the star of
his own book.
The timeline has lost some cohesiveness however due to lack of constant editorial direction
but Marvel I’m sure will aim to improve that with their new releases.
#7 Reading Order If you are familiar with the original Marvel
2099 comics, you may know of all the heroes that were used.
Some were brought back, some in other forms, and some were created new for this series.
The whole of Marvel 2099 had 271 issues and actually has a reading order if you’re looking
to catch up.
I obviously cant read out the full order, but here are some notable points.
It starts with Spider-Man 2099 issues 1-3, followed by doom 1 and 2.
After that Ravage [who was a new character for the 2099 series] issues 1-3, punisher
1, then Spider-Man 4-9.
Later on you get 2099 unlimited #1 which seems to be more of an avengers style comic and
then after a few more issues unlimited #2.
After that you’ll need punisher 7-9, doom 10 and X men 2099 1-3.
Skipping ahead to unlimited #4 you’ll find Thor Corps #3 which seems to be more of a
tie in since the first 2 don’t appear on the list.
After Spider-Man #22 you’ll get into ghost rider.
There is a lot of comics to read and I can’t list them all.
So, there is a link you can go to so you can find the full order.
#6 Released Games Spider-Man 2099 appeared in at least 2 games
to my knowledge.
The first one being Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, where you control 4 different
versions of Spider-Man across the spiderverse.
And it’s sequel Spider-Man Edge of Time which has you control Peter Parker and Miguel
O’Hara.
Miguel is by far a Spider-Man who is iconic in his own right as well as a fan favourite,
which would explain why he would appear more than other counterparts such as Spider-Man
Noir.
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions came out in September of 2010 for consoles and November
of 2010 for pc, and Spider-Man Edge of time came out in October of 2011 for consoles,
including the Nintendo 3ds which is the console I used to play it.
This game was honestly my first introduction to Miguel and I was immediately fascinated
by his story and his spidersona.
While he has appeared in games however, there was one game that was supposed to include
him and others.
And that brings us too #5 Cancelled Game
The Marvel 2099 continuity was actually intended to have a game that was set to release in
December of 1996.
It was called Marvel 2099: One Nation Under Doom and was going to be for the PlayStation
and windows 95, developed by Mindscape Inc.
It was to be loosely based of the story line by the same name in Doom’s 2099 comics,
and was envisioned as a 2D side-scroller with 3d characters.
By May of 1996 CD Roms and video demos were being shipped to game magazines for pre-release
reviews along with a one paged brochure.
The first demo was shown at E3 and had a playable level with the punisher.
The game was also supposed to have Spider-Man, X men, Ghost rider, fantastic 4 and hulk 2099
as playable characters along with 40 additional unnamed characters that would appear as NPCs.
The game was never officially cancelled however, as the production just slowed down and stopped
due to financial troubles and lay-offs occurring near the time of release.
With the new launch could we see a game similar to this be created?
Hmm. #4 Movies
Spider-Man into the spiderverse was an incredible movie and brought several different incarnations
of the Spider-Person together on the big screen, but one iconic portrayal was missing.
Miguel O’Hara was not in the main storyline of the spiderverse movie, but did appear in
the end credits sequence, appearing in the iconic “no you” Spider-Man meme from the
60’s Spider-Man cartoon where 2 people in Spider-Man costumes are pointing at each other.
This I can honestly say came as a shock to me since Miguel is my favorite spider-man
and I had expected him to be in the movie but this has further implications for the
next spiderverse movie.
As he got to the meme via a transporter that seemed to be like a watch, so this could open
up a whole plethora of other spider-men for future movies.
Maybe even Spider-Man as a villain.
#3 Caused the Spiderverse With the undeniable success of Spider-Man
2099 you can honestly say that he could be the reason the spiderverse exists.
Sure the multiverse was going to happen anyway but with Miguel they experimented no pun intended
and it payed off.
So they felt more confident to experiment in other ways.
Bringing Spider-Man into the Noir scene for example, or making him a pig I guess?
You could contribute the continued use of Spider-Gwen and Miles to Spider-Man 2099 and
the entire 2099 series in all honesty.
While yes Spider-Man was the most popular character from the 2099 series, the series
helped show executives that experimenting and being creative is a good thing that pays
off.
Especially when we’ve seen the same people fight over and over.
Sure you can throw in a death to spice things up but bring a version of yourself, who isn’t
even yourself from the future into the mix and you got something that even the devil
couldn’t ingest without ruining his rectum!
#2 Variations With 2099 being so far away, especially when
this series was created, the writers and artists could obviously take some creative liberties,
more than normal at least.
Should probably say that when talking about superheroes.
For example, Doctor Octopus 2099 is not the spawn of Otto Octavius, in fact he is a former
Atlantean scientist and expert in xenobiology, and looks like an actual octopus.
He appears in Spider-Man 2099 #1 as well as Spider-Man 2099 Civil War 2.
Electro 2099 is not a human but in fact a service android who was hit by a burst of
electricity causing him to gain electricity powers and sentience.
Doom 2099 is the freaking president and captain America is a woman who leads the avengers
and works as an employee at Alchemax, an evil corporation.
The variations they threw into the 2099 heroes and villains are incredible and deserve to
be celebrated in the new stories.
Hopefully they don’t change.
#1 How it Ended We talked about why the series ended, but
how it ended in the comics themselves is totally mind boggling.
The series wraps in 3099 with Miguel O’Hara doing his best to maintain peace in the universe.
Yeah, you may be confused because I said the year 3099.
Which would mean Miguel is 1000 years old, something that would normally only be achievable
by a god.
Such as the god of thunder, Thor himself.
Yes, while it may sound farfetched remember the writers of the projects had switched.
So, the writers of the end were not the writers who had started the series.
Where did these new writers take it you ask impatiently?
Well, the series wrapped up with 2099: Manifest Destiny which was used to wrap up any loose
ends it could, but also had Miguel O’Hara wielding Mjolnir and using it to hammer out
peace in the universe over the course of 1000 years.
Yeah.
The series ended with Miguel becoming immortal and pulling a cap.
What the hell?
