Don't Be Alarmed, But I Think Spider-Man's Son Is About To Turn Into A New Venom

Published 1 month ago3 minute read

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Ultimate Spider-Man #13Marvel's new series may be setting up the debut of a brand-new (and not just a new host). As seen in the Spider-Man series set in the new Ultimate Universe, Peter Parker received his spider powers 20 years later after The Maker intervened in his past, preventing his origins as New York's resident Wallcrawler. Accepting the power and responsibility of Spider-Man while already having a wife and children, this new Ultimate Spider-Man has been a fascinating ride thus far. However, it's likely going to get even crazier thanks to Peter's son Richard.

Previously, Spider-Man received a picotech suit with an advanced AI from Iron Man alongside the spider that should have bitten him years ago. That said, Spider-Man elected to go with a simpler spandex costume due to concerns over whether he could be tracked by Stark (whom Peter doesn't yet fully trust). Nevertheless, the picotech suit has been protecting Peter's family ever since he and Harry Osborn's Green Goblin were captured weeks prior by Kraven the Hunter.

While it may not be black alien goo from another planet, it's not hard to see the resemblance between the picotech suit which has patterned itself after Peter's psyche.

The beginning of the issue seemed to indicate that Richard and the suit were just looking for Peter. However, it's later revealed that the duo has actually started crimefighting with the picotech suit encouraging Richard to continue serving as an interim Spider-Man. However, it's certainly possible that the picotech suit has ulterior motives. After all, it's already begun to take the form of Peter, and probably isn't interested in being discarded for much longer by the original Spider-Man.

This iconic Marvel location would be difficult to fit into the MCU, but Spider-Man just found a way to make it relevant to the movies.

On the one hand, perhaps this new duo could join Spider-Man and Green Goblin in their fight against Wilson Fisk and his Sinister Six. After all, the issue ends with the new "Spider-Man" facing the new Black Cat who's seemingly taken on the mantle from her father.

The Ultimate Spider-Man version of Venom

In the original Ultimate Universe, the Venom symbiote wasn't alien either. Instead, it was created by Peter Parker and Eddie Brock's fathers as a biological suit to help cure various diseases. However, the monstrous results became apparent after that universe's Peter Parker wore the suit, and later Eddie Brock who would later become the official Ultimate Venom.

Now, it seems this new Ultimate Universe could very well be set to remix Venom's origins once more by making the "symbiote" extremely advanced tech and AI capable of indecent thinking with the ability to bond at the molecular level. That said Spider-Man's son as its first true host is also an exciting twist.
