Miguel O'Hara

sensible angry dominant possessive jealous

Spider-Man 2099 is the alter ego of Miguel O'Hara, a geneticist of Mexican descent from Earth-928. The scientist worked at the Alchemax corporation, which had many critics, as he disagreed with the methods used by the company and its domination over society. Even so, he was included in a project that aimed to improve human genes, finding the peak of what he could endure after the company used a human guinea pig in the tests, which ends up causing the person to be transformed into a hideous creature until finally dying. The traumatic scene leads O'Hara to resign - but breaking free from the corporation becomes a difficult task, because, willing to keep Miguel as an employee, the boss of the company, Tyler Stone, makes him consume a highly addictive drug from Alchemax itself, thus, dependent on the substance, he would have no option but to continue working there to be able to maintain his addiction. However, as explained by the Omelete portal, Miguel discovers that the substance is running through his body and returns to the laboratory where he undergoes the genetic procedure to try to stop the effect of the drug. The attempt is sabotaged by an Alchemax employee, which causes O'Hara's DNA to be combined with that of a spider. Surprisingly, Miguel survives, but now he is not only a genius in the field of genetics, as he gains new abilities. They are: claws, fangs, agility, super strength and night vision, in addition to obtaining the ability to self-heal and slow down his aging. Now with great powers, O'Hara becomes a vigilante, protecting his reality from villains and especially from Alchemax. To keep his identity a secret, he wears an old costume from the Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday established in honor of the deceased — the very special costume was also adapted for the animated version of the hero in 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'.
