History Creator / BrianMichaelBendis

* {{Cameo}}: Several.

Speaking of that... remember Ultimate Spider-Man? Bendis kept writing it all this time, and even achieved with Mark Bagley the record of the longest writer-artist collaboration in a ComicBookRun, previously held by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby in ComicBook/FantasticFour. At one point, he made a huge change to the book: [[TheHeroDies Peter Parker died]] and a new guy, ComicBook/MilesMorales, became the new Spider-Man. It was not a character from the existing cast but a completely new one, with his own set of secondary characters. The MilestoneCelebration for the 50th year of Spider-Man was celebrated with ''ComicBook/SpiderMen'', a crossover between the regular Spider-Man from the Marvel Universe and Miles Morales. Morales was one of the most popular characters of the whole Ultimate Marvel universe, to the point that ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', the crossover that ended it after 15 years, transferred him and his cast to the regular Marvel universe. Bendis wrote a pair of tie-ins for this event, ''ComicBook/UltimateEnd'' and ''ComicBook/OldManLogan2015''. He then continued working with Miles, now in the Marvel universe, in ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2016''. One his last stories in Marvel was ''ComicBook/SpiderMenII'', which revealed that the Ultimate Universe has been brought back to existence at some point off-panel.

He also made a complete revamp of ComicBook/TheAvengers, a team with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters at the time. He closed that period of the team with ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled'', and then relaunched it as the ''ComicBook/NewAvengers''. This team had a smaller cast, including Marvel's flagship characters Spider-Man (who had only been in the Avengers for small times in the past) and Wolverine (who had never been a member). He also included Spider-Woman, and also Luke Cage, another forgotten character of the 1970s that he also brought back to the spotlight. Shortly after he wrote ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'', a CrisisCrossover that removed the powers of a big number of mutants, a storyline that impacted the ComicBook/XMen comics for years. The New Avengers disbanded in ''ComicBook/CivilWar'', divided about signing a SuperRegistrationAct or not. From then on, Bendis wrote two comics: "New Avengers" with a new team that did not sign the act, and ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers'' with those that did. He wrote a new crossover, ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', and Iron Man was removed as head honcho of SHIELD and replaced by the villain Norman Osbourne. "Mighty Avengers" was closed and replaced by ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', a team of villains posing as heroes. The whole arc ended in ''ComicBook/{{Siege}}''.

After ''Secret Wars'', he worked with Iron Man. His run soon led to another crossover, ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'', where Iron Man died. He introduced a LegacyCharacter, Riri Williams as ComicBook/Ironheart, and also Dr. Doom of all people took the identity in ''Infamous Iron Man'' (he has a HeelFaceTurn after Secret Wars). Tony Stark eventually returned, and Iron Man #600 was Bendis' last comic for Marvel.
