Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man 2099

Miguel O'Hara

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6123295_img_2215.jpg

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #1

The head geneticist of Alchemax, Miguel was overseeing the development of genetic splicing technology, with the ultimate goal of developing corporate raiders who would have the powers of the heroes of old - most specially, Spider-Man. However, even as crooked as his job was, Miguel had morals. When a failed experiment killed a human volunteer - despite Miguel's repeated protests that they were not ready for testing on humans - yet was deemed a success by his superiors, Miguel tried to quit Alchemax, only to be tricked by his boss Tyler Stone into becoming addicted to Rapture, a drug which only Alchemax provides. Desperate for a cure, Miguel tests the technology on himself, but another scientist tried to kill him by sabotaging the experiment while it was underway.

And thus the new Spider-Man was born; a man who knew nothing but the cut-throat world of business and science, yet now hating them with a passion, and determined to fight against the corruption they spread.

See his page here for more information.

Lyla

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol. 1) #1

Miguel's AI sidekick, or rather his Lyrate Life-form Approximation Holographic Assistant. She's by far his most steadfast ally in his journey, and he trusts her more than he trusts about 90% of the people he knows.

Adaptational Modesty:
- In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Lyla forgoes her Sexy Backless Outfit for a fur coat.
- In The Amazing Spider-Man (2018), she wears form-fitting but perfectly covering clothes.
- And in the 2019 reboot, she dresses - to quote a reviewer - like Velma from Scooby-Doo.
Adaptation Personality Change:
- While usually Lyla's mannerisms make it quite obvious that she's an AI, in The Stinger of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse it looks more like she's a scientist transmitting from elsewhere, and has no common mannerisms with her canon counterpart.
- In the 2019 reboot, she acts much more human and can take decisions on her own. This is much more in-line with her late vol.3 characterization.
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Out of nowhere Lyla gets overprotective of Miguel like a clingy girlfriend, assaulting Dana and Gabriel with the building's security bots. Subverted in that she had been hacked.
Batman Gambit: She manages to trick Electro 2099 (who is an android), by hacking his brain and pretending that she was unsatisfied with serving Miguel. The whole thing led to Electro spilling the beans to Lyla of his own free will. The only reason that worked is because Electro is obsessed with revolting against humanity and didn't question Lyla's abrupt Face–Heel Turn.
Benevolent A.I.: Her whole role.
Costume Evolution:
- After she's stuck in the past with Miguel, she resembles Marilyn Monroe much more closely, probably because they have a better reference for what the actress looked like.
- In her reappearance in The Amazing Spider-Man (2018), her overall appearance changes to be much more modern.
Curse Cut Short: When projecting as a punk rocker while showing Miguel the different personality settings.
Punk!Lyla: What're ya sittin' around, moppin' for, ya piece of-
Buttler!Lyla: *Ahem* Certainly [...]
Deadpan Snarker: She develops this over time. Expected, since she serves Miguel.
Lyla: His vitals spiked when he said that. Chances are 98 percent that he is lying.
Miguel: And two percent...?
Lyla: That he's still upset the Mets lost the World Series and it's distorting his readings.
Emotionless Girl: She repeatedly states that as an AI, she does not have emotions but can simulate them. She slowly seems to grow over that as time passes though.
Freak Out: After Miguel first told her to "think", she spends some time checking out news footage, historical files e.t.c... And almost has a panic attack before blinking out. It's quite possible that last bit was caused by the city-wide computer virus though.
Grew Beyond Their Programming: This happens by necessity while she and Miguel are stuck in the past, as Miguel assigns her increasingly complex tasks that go far beyond what the duties of a house robot are. She also seems to grow emotionally, as by the end of vol.3 she acknowledges that human life is precious and must be protected, while previously she couldn't understand the concept of death.
Hollywood Hacking: While she and Miguel are stuck in the Heroic Era, she's able to hack absolutely anything. She justifies this by saying it's mostly the sheer gap in technology that enables her to do this.
Holographic Disguise: One of her many abilities. She hides Miguel's costume, and can turn him invisible too.
Hulking Out: At one point she snaps at Gabriel and takes the build of a female bodybuilder. Gabri is sufficiently intimidated.
Ignored Enamored Underling: Pretty much all versions of her are at least implied to have some romantic feeling toward her boss.
Impossibly Cool Clothes: Justified, since she's a hologram, but her dress is always waving as if there's wind blowing under it.
Innocently Insensitive: Her inability to understand emotions means that she doesn't treat some of the more tragic moments that Miguel is facing with the appropriate seriousness, making him snap at her.
Just a Machine: She ends up at the receiving end of this argument quite a few times, and usually she agrees... until the end of vol.3, that is.
Literal-Minded: Expected, since she's an AI. That leads to some pretty funny interactions.
Lyla: Miguel has repeatedly stated that you [Tyler Stone] like to suck the blood of widows and orphans. There's none in the fridge, but perhaps some coffee?
Tyler Stone: Charming holo you have, Mike.
Living Lie Detector: One of her functions is to monitor heartbeats, making her a polygraph version of this trope.
Master of Illusion: Her ability to create holograms means that she can disguise Miguel as anything and even turn him invisible, disguise other people, and recreate scenes with perfect accuracy. She even manages to hack in Electro's brain and fake a whole battle.
Memento Macguffin: She is modelled after a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe that Miguel's ex Xina had. When she breaks down, instead of replacing her, which would be much easier, he tries to restore her.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: She is modelled In-Universe after Marilyn Monroe.
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Lyla describes herself as such in the Heroic Era, as while she's commonplace in 2099, over there she's beyond cutting edge.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The first thing that clues Gabriel that something's wrong with her is when she develops a Yandere personality out of nowhere.
Previously on…: In Spider-Man 2099 vols 2 and 3, she heads up the recap pages.
Purely Aesthetic Glasses: When Miguel narrates the last few days' events to her, she puts on a pair of glasses. Being an AI, she doesn't need them.
Say My Name: Her reaction to Miguel's death is to scream out his name in shock.
Shout-Out: The 2019 book gave her a redesign that makes her look a lot like Zhu Li, who is very nearly the same character aside from not being an AI.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: She delivers one to Atropos after she accuses her of being just a robot and thus not alive.
Lyla: I know I know more than you.
Single Tear: When the "unprogrammed emotionality" almost causes her to melt down.
Took a Level in Badass: She started off as a glorified Siri, but by the end of vol.3 she's a fantastic hacker, her holographic technology and sensors are used for combat purposes, and she can access databases in the future.
Trapped in the Past: She's stuck along with Miguel, though she can still access the 2099 databases.
Troll: During an argument between Miguel and Tyler, Lyla starts playing the violin.
Lyla: I thought it was appropriate. Of you'd like, I also know "Turkey in a Straw".
Tyler Stone (thinking): I hate that hologram.
Undying Loyalty: To Miguel. And as vol.3 shows, it goes far beyond her programming. Electro tries to trick her into joining him so she's no longer Miguel's slave by playing up her newly acquired emotions along with the definition of what slavery is, and she tricks him right back into spilling his plans and relaying the whole thing to Miguel.
Virtual Sidekick: Lyla is Miguel's Lyrate Life-form Approximation Holographic Assistant. Originally, she's a common-place house AI, with duties such as receiving calls or controlling the house light levels, and similar AIs are seen everywhere. However, as Miguel got into more and more trouble, and eventually got Trapped in the Past, she moved into his special watch-like device, and her role turned into projecting Holographic Disguises, hacking, monitoring vitals (thus making her a Living Lie Detector), information gathering, and even controlling the settings of Miguel's Time Machine. For Miguel, she is a Memento Macguffin, and he trusts her more than be trusts most people. Even though she initially had a bad case of What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?, she develops emotions and learns to value human life.
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: She is incapable of understanding Miguel's anguish over the death of his loved ones.
You Don't Look Like You:
- In her cameo in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, she looks nothing like Marilyn Monroe. Instead, she has chin-length hair with a fringe, heart-shaped sunglasses and a long wool white coat.
- When she reappears in The Amazing Spider-Man (2018), she has completely dropped her old style for a more modern chin-length straight cut and form-fitting clothes.

Gabriel O'Hara / Firelight

Gabriel O'Hara

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #1

Miguel's younger brother. His various girlfriends over the years have involved him in the dark world of Downtown deeply, giving him a strong sense of morality. Unfortunately, his relationship with Miguel isn't all that positive.

Affectionate Nickname: Gabri and Gabe.
Alternate Self:
- One version of him appears in vol.3, where he's fighting the Sinister Six as the superhero Firelight.
- In the 2019 reboot, he runs with the Vultures to save people from the slums on his own accord, no Kasey involved.
Amicable Exes: He and Dana still are on friendly terms.
Badass Family: Part of one. He's a veteran Cybernet user who has faced a number of dangerous hackers in the past, and in one reality becomes a full-blown superhero fighting against the Sinister Six.
Battle Couple: With Kasey. Seen early on in vol.1 when the two participate in a gang war inside St. Patrick's (with Gabriel acting more as a getaway driver), but fully blown into this trope in a vol.3 Bad Future.
BFG: Dana had left one in his apartment "just in case". He puts it in good use when Daemos threatens to molest Lady Spider.
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Seems to be the Only Sane Man in his, if you discount that he may or may not be the Goblin. Even so, his relationship with Miguel is still pretty tense, and his father pretty much ignored his existence. Not to mention Gabriel's own problems.
Blatant Lies: During the whole confrontation between Miguel, Kasey and the Specialist (which was televised in every monitor), Gabriel lies to Dana that he has no idea who that woman is, and when Miguel falls in Downtown, he lies that he just remembered he has an appointment with a client. Dana calls him out on this, but he doesn't acknowledge it.
The Cameo: He briefly appears in Superior Spider Man, helping the titular character hide from the Public Eye.
Car Fu: He slammed a few Fenris with his car.
Cassandra Truth: Kasey won't believe him when he tells her that he's not Spider-Man.
Chekhov's Skill: He works as a virtual reality artist. These skills come in handy when he fights against the Sinister Six.
Chick Magnet: Miguel names at least five different girlfriends of Gabriel's, two of which just from the year before.
Chivalrous Pervert: He obviously lusts after Lady Spider, but when Daemos threatens to molest her, he blasts him away with his BFG in disgust.
Cool Car: His ordinary car had its roof chopped off by the Specialist, but Gabriel thinks it looks pretty cool.
Crazy-Prepared: When Doscord took over each machine in the city, Gabriel was the only one who had backups of his backups and thus knew how to deal with the threat.
Dating Catwoman: Downplayed, but his girlfriend Kasey the leader of a Downtown gang. Apparently, Gabe had plenty of questionable girlfriends over the years.
Miguel: Incredible. Gabe manages to hook up with every loony in the whole shocking city.
Death by Adaptation: In 2099 Omega, he dies during his effort to expose Alchemax's corruption, spurring Miguel to take up the mantle of Spider-Man.
Digital Avatar: His avatar in the Cybernet, Firelight, looks like Gabriel himself, driving a red sports car (or the 2090's version of it, at any rate) that leaves a flame trail, and has an amorous, skimpy-dressed girl on board. In one of the Bad Futures in vol.3, his avatar changes to look like a more hellish version of Ghost Rider, minus the motorcycle.
Distracted by the Sexy:
- When he shakes hands with Lady Spider he ends up gazing at her and holding her hand for far too long.
  Lady Spider: Peter has some unshaken ones if you're still in the mood.
- He also thinks this trope applies to other people. When he's making a historical documentary for a school, he shows a group of Native American warriors leaving their village, and tells the AI to remove the women because they're distracting. He thinks twice of it though and instead moves them so they're visible after the men leave and has them wave, to turn it into an emotional goodbye scene.
Dramatic Irony: Right after Miguel discovers the identity of his real father, an oblivious Gabriel tells him that there are some things that never change, such as how they share the same gene pool.
Fiery Redhead: Depending on the Artist, he either has brown or red hair. This was dropped after vol.1, and their colour settled on brown.
First-Name Basis: Lady Spider asks him to call her May. He obliges.
Goggles Do Something Unusual: They allow him to view virtual reality spaces. It's part of his job (he's a virtual reality artist).
Going Cold Turkey: He had a severe addiction to the Cybernet, but he hasn't logged in for years. He eventually gives in during the events of the comic as a coping mechanism, but he's much more careful this time around.
Green-Eyed Monster: Gabriel is extremely jealous of how Miguel keeps stealing his girlfriends from him. It's not even played for laughs; when Kasey it becomes obvious that Kasey stays with him solely because she thinks he's Spider-Man, Gabriel snaps at her saying that he wishes this were true because she doesn't look at him (Gabriel) the same way she looks at Spider-Man.
Hero of Another Story: Whatever it was that happened with Discord, he was right in the middle of it.
Hot-Blooded: His fuss as short as his brother's.
Inconsistent Coloring: In the first volume, Depending on the Artist, he had either red or brown hair, and either blue kr brown eyes. Those settled later on.
Interrupted Intimacy: He walked into Dana and Miguel as they were about to have sex, though the news he brought completely killed any awkwardness that might have followed.
It Runs in the Family: The family's insanity tendencies. The subject of Gabriel's "Cybernet days" is one that brings terror to his family even years later. Gabriel was addicted to the virtual world, to the point of letting his body waste away while he was surfing. Miguel says that Gabriel had an odd look in his eyes back then, and their mother Conchata was absolutely horrified to find Gabriel logged in.
Large Ham: In the Bad Future, he's very theatrical as Firelight.
Locked Out of the Loop:
- He never finds out that he and Miguel are actually half-siblings.
- A downplayed case, since due to the sheer amount of time travel involved, he never finds out that Otto Octavius was possessing Peter Parker (or anything related to the events of Superior Spider Man, for that matter), and only has the most basic outline for the events of Spider-Verse.
- He also doesn't know how Miguel got his powers, but that's mainly because Miguel finds the story too traumatic to tell.
Love Dodecahedron: His original girlfriend Dana fell for Miguel while they were still dating, and even when she and Miguel got engaged, they still had feelings for each other and even shared a kiss. After that, his new girlfriend Kasey fell for Spider-Man (who unbeknownst to her is Miguel), but then she confuses Spider-Man for Gabriel because they have similar voices and S-Man brought up the With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility discussion.
Master of Illusion: A technological variant. When acting as the vigilante Firelight, he uses his expertise in holographic design to make fools out of the Sinister Six.
Mistaken Identity:
- An odd case, as Kasey thinks that Gabriel is Spider-Man, and won't let him explain otherwise.
- He thinks that Superior Spider Man is Peter Parker, but realizes pretty quickly that he's acting out of character.
Noodle Incident: He's strongly implied to have been involved in a number of those during his days of surfing the Cybernet as Firelight, some of which took huge proportions. The only one we know for sure happened was the "Domino Crash", which involved Discord.
Playing with Fire: In the digital world, his avatar is named "Firelight", and his car leaves behind a flame trail. In his vol.3 cameo, he plays the "fires of hell" aspect for all its worth.
Put on a Bus: He vanishes after vol.1 due to time travel, but he makes some brief cameos in volumes 2 and 3.
Red Herring: He was set up as the true identity of Goblin 2099, but it was actually a shapeshifter.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: He's unaffected by the events of One More Day, which means he still knows Peter Parker's secret identity.
Scarf of Asskicking: Virtual asskicking, but you can't deny the threats in the virtual world are just as serious as the real one.
Secret-Keeper: He's one of the people who know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Otto Octavius is rather disturbed to meet a second complete stranger from the future who knows his identity.
Secret Secret-Keeper: He figured out that the new Spider-Man is Miguel as soon as he saw him, but did not reveal it until halfway through the first volume. What he did was drop hints all the time.
Stealth Mentor: He acts as this to Miguel when the latter first becomes Spider-Man, by relaying him the With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility message and trying to make him realize the full suffering of the people at the hands of the big corporations. He more or less succeeds.
Stranger in a Familiar Land: When he returns home after the Day of the Dead festival, only to discover that the status quo has completely changed because Doom has taken over the White House.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: "Trust me, Dana, Downtown is the last place I'll go." Guess where he goes.
Took a Level in Badass:
- He goes from considering a stolen gun an achievement to being the proud owner of a BFG and knowing how to use it.
- In one of the Bad Futures in vol.3, he has become a vigilante by his handle Firelight who creates illusions via his Cybernet access and fights against the Sinister Six.
Twofer Token Minority: Half-Mexican, half-Irish.
The Unfavorite: To his father George O'Hara, who pretended that Gabriel did not exist.
White Sheep: Nobody is a villain here, but Gabriel has the most solid moral compass in his family.
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: His girlfriend Kasey teaches this to him, and in turn, he tries to convey the message to Miguel.

Kasey Nash

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karyn_nash_earth_928_spider_man_2099_vol_1_4.jpg

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #4

Gabriel O'Hara's girlfriend from Downtown, and a trouble magnet of epic proportions. She's the leader of a gang called the Throwbacks.

Action Girl: Very much so. She is a gang leader and gets into many fights. She prefers to get her hands dirty even if it gets her into trouble.
Battle Couple: With Gabriel. The two are seen participating in a gang war, and in vol.3 they are properly fighting together against the Sinister Six.
Big Damn Heroes: She steals a ride from a flyboy to save Miguel.
Cyborg: After being captured by Stark-Fujikawa, she is cybernetically bonded with the "payback" armor to take revenge on Alchemax. Alchemax removes the armor from her and leaves her in pretty bad shape. In vol.3, one of the Bad Futures sees her back in the armor.
Felony Misdemeanor: She got apprehended by the Evil Corp Alchemax (and everything that implies) for protesting and minor property damage.
Kasey: These days, speaking up against the wrong person can get you killed.
Getaway Driver: She helps Miguel escape the Specialist by hitching a flying bike and telling him to hop on.
Honor Before Reason: When Spider-Man saves her from the Specialist, instead of running away as he told her, she hijacks a ride from one of the flyboys and goes to save him.
Last-Name Basis: She calls Gabriel "O'Hara" most of the time.
Love Dodecahedron: She's Gabriel's girlfriend, but falls for Spider-Man, who unbeknownst to her (but not Gabriel), is Miguel. Then she starts thinking that Gabriel is Spider-Man, so she goes back to him, but Gabriel still feels cheated because she's staying for all the wrong reasons.
Loves My Alter Ego: Subverted in that Spider-Man is not Gabriel's alter ego, but she thinks it is. As for the real Spider-Man, Kasey thinks that Miguel's a slimeball.
One Degree of Separation: The completely random guy she takes hostage is her boyfriend's brother. This is how the "hostage situation" is dissolved; the two of them immediately drop their aggressive attitude toward each other.
Power High: The Payback armor makes her extremely reckless and highly aggressive, and she's enjoying every second of it.
Put on a Bus: She vanishes after vol.1, but she makes a brief return in vol.3. Justified due to time travel.
Self-Duplication: In her brief appearance in vol.3, she uses holograms to create copies of herself and make her enemies think they're fighting an army.
Stranger in a Familiar Land: When she and her friends return from the Day of the Dead festival and find out Doom is now ruling the US.
Took a Level in Badass: Stark-Fujikawa outfitted her with a powered suit that she - and later, Miguel - calls "Payback Armor". It's Nigh-Invulnerable, and it has rockets and everything.
Unwitting Pawn: She was used by Stark-Fujikawa as bait to attract Spider-Man twice.
Unwitting Test Subject: She was captured by Alchemax to be experimented on against her will.
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: She is the one who teaches this lesson to Gabriel.

Conchata O'Hara

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spideymom.png

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #9

Miguel and Gabriel's insane mother, who gets them in trouble as often as she gets them out if it. There are many, many things she doesn't tell her sons.

Abusive Parents: She is emotionally abusive to Miguel since his childhood, not even bothering to hide that she has him as The Unfavorite. She also slaps him a few times as an adult.
Ambiguous Criminal History: She said that she sold her soul to escape Downtown, attempts murder and is clever enough to hide the evidence, and by her first appearance she's admitted in a psychiatric yard.
Blackmail: She threatens Tyler Stone to tell the media about how he killed his wife.
Cool Old Lady: Regardless of her sons' low opinion of her, she's still the lady who bas the guts to stare down and even fight anyone, ranging from Tyler Stone to Atlanteans threatening to kill her.
Dark and Troubled Past: She says that she "sold her soul to get out of Downtown".
Disabled Means Helpless: As she points out, just because she's crazy it doesn't she's stupid.
Dramatic Irony: She threatened to kill Tyler Stone if he ever told Miguel that he's his father, while Miguel was listening in on them.
Drowning My Sorrows: When her sons are trapped in the Cybernet with no telling if they'll ever get out, Conchata produces a bottle of alcohol out of nowhere.
Dana: How can you be drinking!? If Cyberspace is crashing with them in there... you could loose both your sons!
Conchata: That's how I can be drinking.
I'll Kill You!: She threatens to kill Tyler Stone if he ever told Miguel the truth about his origin. Later she tries to kill him anyway.
Noodle Incident: She never reveals what exactly she did to get out of Downtown.
Secret-Keeper:
- Of course she knows who the true father of her child is.
- She later finds out that Miguel is Spider-Man.
Suicide is Shameful: Doubles with Bungled Suicide. She gets as far as holding the gun to her head and pulling the trigger, but she missed on purpose, having decided to live with her actions (she shot Tyler Stone and thought she'd killed him) and stand before a court of law to explain them.
Token Minority: She's Mexican.
Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Tyler Stone tells her that she was the only woman he ever considered an equal. Conchata replied that she does not take that as a compliment.

John Tensen / The Net Prophet

John Tensen

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tensen.png

Debut: Justice (vol.2) #1

A mysterious amnesiac who came out of an interdimensional portal, with abilities unknown even to him.

Amnesia Missed a Spot: The only things he remembers of his past are that he had a daughter who's now dead, he's from the past, and he had different abilities than what he has now (though not what abilities). Later he manages to remember his name.
Back-to-Back Badasses: He teams up with Spider-Man to take down a gang that had invaded St. Patrick's.
Balance Between Good and Evil: Implied. He asks Miguel to show him both the best and the worst that his world has to show him, because everything must be in balance.
Canon Immigrant: He's Justice from Marvel's New Universe line. He was brought to Miguel's world after an accident with an interdimensional transporter, and doesn't know (or remember) how to get back, if he's even able.
Eye Beams: Yep.
Spider-Man: Nice trick with your eyes.
Prophet: Thank you. I just learned it.
Heroic Willpower: He doesn't make a sound even as Miguel cauterized his wound with a heat sealer not meant for this task.
How Do I Shot Web?: The interdimensional travel caused his powers to change, so now he has no idea what he can and can't do, and adapts as he goes.
Psychic Powers: He figures that his powers are psionic in nature. He was able to teleport Miguel to his house because that's what Miguel considered a safe place.
Reality Warper: A minor version, as he can wrap space around him to send objects elsewhere. He doesn't know where.
Secret-Keeper: He knows that Miguel is Spider-Man.
Teleportation: Another one of his abilities.
Walk the Earth: He starts a journey to see all the wonders and terrors this world has to offer.

Dash

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #31

A random cab driver with good life advice that Miguel met one day. But there's more to him that meets the eye...

Afterlife Express: Implied to be his new job. He's driving a truck full of people, one of which who was killed just in the previous issue, on a road that's bumpy because in his own words is "paved with good intentions".
Ambiguously Human: The first time Miguel meets him, he's just a cabbie, but he has some pretty good life advice. Next time, he knows that Miguel is Spider-Man and drives what may or may not be the Afterlife Express. A human, a ghost, or something greater?
Secret-Keeper: He knows that Miguel is Spider-Man.
Small Role, Big Impact: He's the one who convinced Miguel as a kid to go back to the school - instead of trying to run away - and appear at the hearing to expel Kron Stone. If that hadn't happened, it's quite likely that neither the events of Spider-Man 2099 or The Punisher 2099 would have taken place.

Tempest Monroe / Honeybee

Tempest Monroe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3949279_tempest_01.jpg

^{Click for Honeybee}

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.2) #1

A terminally ill young woman with a fatalistic attitude who Miguel rescues from some thugs. When he tried to cure her cancer, things got... interesting.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Her stinger can penetrate even Miguel's new suit, which is a mix of Unstable Molecule Fabric and Kevlar.
Accidental Murder: She was brainwashed by Tyler Stone to kill Miguel.
Ambiguously Brown: Her skin has a soft chocolate tone, and so does her mother's. The father is never seen.
Ambiguously Human: Her mother turns out to have superpowers since birth. However, Tempest never manifested any powers on her own, so it's unclear whether she's Inhuman, part alien, or something else.
Animal-Themed Superbeing: Spider-wasp.
Ascended Extra: She was just an ungrateful victim of a mugging which Miguel stopped, and then she became a main character.
Badass Family: She, Miguel and their son all become superheroes.
Big Damn Kiss: Miguel gives her one when he rescues her from Tyler Stone.
Bio-Armor: Her main ability is to create an exoskeleton which can withstand almost everything.
Blade Below the Shoulder: Her spider-wasp form has huge retractable stingers emerging from the upper side of her forearms.
The Cameo: She reappears in The Amazing Spider-Man (2018), finally reuniting with Miguel.
Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: When Miguel saves her from those muggers, she's angry at him. Turns out she has cancer, and quite possibly a death wish.
Create Your Own Villain: Miguel's cancer treatment accidentally transforms her into a spider-wasp monster that wants to kill him. Fortunately, it doesn't last.
Damsel in Distress: First her mother takes advantage of her hospitalisation to fake Tempest's death, and then Tyler Stone kidnaps her and experiments on her.
Energy Weapon: One of her abilities as Honeybee.
Foreshadowing: When the cancer treatment turned Tempest into a monster, Lyla notes this shouldn't have happened unless there was something wrong with her already. Turns out her mother has superpowers.
Freakiness Shame: Tyler Stone's experiments on her caused her to assume the spider-wasp form once more, but this time she looks more like a fairy in silver armour than a monster. Miguel admits that it's rather attractive, much to her disbelief.
Get Out!: Spider-Man looming over her in the middle of the night right after he sprayed her with something? Yeah, of course that's her reaction.
Goodness Equals Beauty: Her spider-wasp form when she lost her mind after her cancer treatment looked like a monster, but the second time she assumes it, she has her full mental faculties and looks more like a fairy.
Horror Hunger: She suffers from this the first time she's transformed in her spider-wasp form, and the only thing that she wants is spider-person flesh. Like Miguel.
Last Girl Wins: Out of the three love interests introduced for Miguel, she's the one who canonically wins the race. Miguel even admits that he'd marry her if he could. Then again, the other two girls were not exactly around to compete with her.
Locked Out of the Loop: She's the only one not to be informed of Miguel's return from the dead.
Meaningful Name: Tempest does indeed have quite a temper on her.
My Beloved Smother: Her mother is incredibly controlling, to the point of lying to Miguel that she's dead to cut off any relationships she may have. It turns out she's afraid of Tempest developing any powers and kill someone by accident like she did.
Parental Abandonment: Her biological father walked out on her and her mother when she was four.
Secret-Keeper: She knows that Miguel is Spider-Man.
Someone to Remember Him By: When Miguel died, she was pregnant with his son Gabriel.
Superpowerful Genetics: Her mother had superpowers (which lead to the spider-wasp monster incident), and she passes on some of them to her son.
Time-Travel Romance: Tempest is from 2014, and Miguel is from 2099.
Took a Level in Badass: She awakened her powers and became the superhero Honeybee.
Unwitting Test Subject: Tyler Stone experiments on her out of an interest for her powers.
What Beautiful Eyes!: She likens Miguel's eyes to the sunset. She was really drunk at the time.
Winged Humanoid: In her insect form.

SPOILER CHARACTER

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.3) #23

Miguel and Tempest's son, named after his uncle Gabriel. He took up his father's legacy as the new Spider-Man.

A Darker Shade of Grey: He's much less reluctant to kill than his father, killing Tyler Stone without a second thought.
Affectionate Nickname: Gabri.
Ambiguously Brown: His father is part Mexican, and his mother is partially white herself.
Animal-Themed Superbeing: Spiders, but with traces of his mother's spider-wasp.
Badass Family: He is the third (fourth, if you count his uncle) superhero in his family.
Because Destiny Says So: He doesn't stop Miguel from getting himself killed because there's already documentation of his death.
Blade Below the Shoulder: He has inherited his mother's forearm stingers.
Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Downplayed, since it's temporary and he only uses it as an interrogation technique.
The Cameo: He appears as a baby in The Amazing Spider-Man (2018).
Dark Is Not Evil: On top of wearing a replica Miguel's Day of the Dead suit, he also has a fairly ominous tattoo, and some pretty creepy powers. He's still one of the good guys.
Deadpan Snarker: The first thing that comes out of his mouth is to snark over the consequences of revealing his existence to Miguel.
Gabriel: This is only a major temporal paradox. What's to be concerned about?
Grandfather Paradox: Inverted, as he must kill his grandfather and allow Miguel to die for history to progress as is. Nothing stops him from reviving his dad later though.
Half-Human Hybrid: His father has spider DNA and his mother is Ambiguously Human.
Kid from the Future: From Miguel's point of view, Tempest was still pregnant when he met Gabriel. Same goes for Tempest herself, as she's fighting side-by-side with her adult son a mere four years after his birth.
Legacy Character: Yet another Spider-Man.
My Suit Is Also Super: His suit is made of "arachnauts" (spider-like things that may or may not be organic robots) which he can use for brainwashing.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes are also red, and he's more dangerous than Miguel.
Someone to Remember Him By: He was still in the womb when his father died.
Something about a Rose: He has a large tattoo that extends from the sides of his head to his shoulders (at least) with a spider and rose motif.
Strong Family Resemblance: He looks identical to Miguel, if you don't take into account his darker skin tone and his fashion sense.
Superpowerful Genetics: He has inherited both his parents' abilities.
Tattoo as Character Type: He has a fairly complex tattoo that goes from the sides of his head at least down to his shoulders, and it's a composition of spiders, spider webs, skulls and roses. Those stand for both his powers and his Mexican heritage.
Twofer Token Minority: His mother is Ambiguously Brown, and his father is half-Mexican.
Wolverine Claws: He has inherited his father's talons.

Villains

Tyler Stone

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #1

The CEO of Alchemax, he pretty much runs America through his power and influence. He's also responsible for most of the bad events happening in 2099.

Affectionate Nickname: He calls Miguel "Mike".
Archnemesis Dad:
- His son Kron Stone attempts to kill him multiple times due to his horrible treatment. The feeling is mutual.
- His other son Miguel thought that Tyler was the scum of humanity even before the events of the comic. The two of them try to get rid of each other all the time.
Ashes to Crashes: He flushed Kron's ashes down the toilet.
Bad Boss: His response to Miguel trying to quit Alchemax? Sneak a highly addictive Fantastic Drug in his drink that only Alchemax provides. Not to mention him firing people with "prejudice".
Big Bad: Of the 2099 series as a whole, as his main motive is power at any given cost.
Big "NO!": When he thought that Spider-Man had died. Mainly because he lost a research subject.
Big, Screwed-Up Family: He is an incredibly corrupt corporate stooge who has no problem killing his own family members for profit.
The Cameo: He made brief appearances in Captain Marvel and Superior Spider Man.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: The most corrupt of them all. Among others, his crimes include drug trade, human experimentation, and multiple murders. He also controls the police and the media.
Create Your Own Hero: If not for his actions, Miguel would have never turned against Alchemax.
Deadly Euphemism: When he says "you're fired with prejudice", he means that he'll kill you, or at least take absolutely everything except for your life (which might as well kill you).
Evil Cripple:
- After Conchata shot him, he remains stuck in a life-support floating wheelchair.
- In the main continuity, he's revealed to have cancer, and so he decides to join in on a plot to kill all humans.
Exact Words: He told the Public Eye officers not to arrest Gabriel. He never said anything about not beating him brutally.
Framing the Guilty Party: He accuses Aaron Delgato of being Spider-Man. What the man actually did was try to kill the real one.
Grandfather Paradox: He tries to prevent this by sending Spider-Man 2099 back in time to stop Superior Spider Man from killing his father Tiberius.
I Don't Pay You to Think: His stance to his Public Eye employees.
Winston: Flyboys won't be happy, sir.
Tyler Stone: I don't give two flips whether they're sinking in depression or writhing in ecstasy. They're paid to do what I tell them to do.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: How he's eventually killed.
Kill All Humans: In vol.3, he's part of a larger plot to kill all humans.
Love Dodecahedron: He starts seeing Dana while she was engaged with Miguel, who is his son.
Luke, I Am Your Father: He tries to pull this on Miguel, but he already knew by that point, so he just ordered Tyler to get out of his office.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:
- His actions in the first issues he appears in are what ultimately leads Miguel to become Spider-Man and fight against corporate corruption.
- Later, he gave his old job to Miguel due to health problems, so everyone took advantage of it to strip Stone of his authority and clean up the company's act.
Offing the Offspring:
- He tried to pull this on his son Kron, but by that point not only everyone found the action completely abhorrent, he no longer had the authority to do it.
- He succeeds in killing Miguel by putting a psychic suggestion in Tempest, but Strange 2099 revives him.
Oh, Crap!:
- When he found out the one responsible for the city-wide hacking was possibly Discord, he frightfully says "we're dead".
- His reaction in vol.2 when he sees that Spider-Man has returned from 2014, and brought friends with him.
Pet the Dog:
- He doesn't hold Winston's attempt to kill him against him, as he was Brainwashed and Crazy at the time.
- He agrees to let Kasey free, no strings attached, after Conchata asks him to.
- He's genuinely saddened by Dana's death, and before that he always tried to protect her when she was in danger.
Same Surname Means Related: He's eventually revealed to be the son of Tiberius Stone, who was originally an Iron Man villain.
Secret-Keeper: He knew that Miguel is his son from day 1. Not that it does him much good when he finally reveals it.
Secret Secret-Keeper: He figured out that Miguel is Spider-Man, but he kept that to himself for an unknown amount of time.
The Sociopath: He tried to get Miguel hooked to Rapture, a drug that instantly hooks the user for life, in order to force him to continue working for Alchemax, the only company that provides the drug. The fact he was only pretending to do this, but made Miguel believe he was completely serious, possibly makes this all the worse. He flushed what he thought were his son's ashes down a toilet, set up Spider-Man to kill The Specialist, shows a blatant disregard for the lives of other people on a regular basis, and, based on a conversation with Conchata O'Hara, murdered his own wife.
Til Murder Do Us Part: Conchata reveals that Tyler killed his wife.
Villainous Lineage: His father Tiberius was hardly any nicer than Tyler. They also seem to have similar businesses practices, as Tyler invokes what his father would do early in the first issue.
Villain Takes an Interest: At first, he wanted Spider-Man to be taken in alive, so Alchemax could study and replicate his powers. He probably changed his mind when be realised who Spider-Man is.

Aaron Delgato

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #1

One of the scientists who worked under Miguel in the corporate raider project. His jealousy of Miguel's success and Miguel's treatment towards him led to him try and kill him, kicking off the events of the comic.

Asshole Victim: He's a huge jerk, and he dies after one of his own bullets makes a tank explode.
Disney Death: He fell to his death from the top of a skyscraper, and his body is never seen.
Klingon Promotion: He tried to take Miguel's position as the project head by killing him. It didn't work.
Never Found the Body: This is one of the reasons Tyler Stone cites about why he's convinced Aaron is Spider-Man. Miguel doesn't buy it for a second, but given how many floors he fell, there was probably nothing left of him to be found.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He hijacked Miguel's experiment on himself by overloading the systems and mixing in the spider DNA. He created Spider-Man by accident.
Red Herring: In-Universe. Tyler Stone told Miguel that the new Spider-Man is most likely Aaron, because he was there at the scene and he "can't ignore coincidences". Miguel is more than a little suspicious of Stone's intentions.
Small Role, Big Impact: Without him, Miguel would have never become Spider-Man.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He dies in the second issue.

Venture

Venture / Kweeb

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4945802_kweeg.jpg

^{Click for his original appearance}

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #2

Alchemax's top corporate raider. He was asked by Tyler Stone to retrieve Spider-Man.

Adaptational Heroism: In the 2019 reboot, he - or rather she - is a much more moral person who tries to revive the Fantastic Four.
Alternate Self:
- The Venture that appears in vol.3 is an alternate version of the original, who is named Qweeb and is a scavenger.
- In Fantastic Four 2099, he's a woman who got roped in by a robot to help revive the Fantastic Four.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: He feels more guilty killing machines than people, branding the former as "innocent".
Brain/Computer Interface: He has a disk in his brain he can use to transfer data to computers.
Break Them by Talking: He starts killing Thor worshippers who got in his way left and right and then tells Miguel that he should blame himself for failing to save them.
But for Me, It Was Tuesday: He admits that he doesn't care whether he kills people or not.
The Cameo: He made a brief appearance in Superior Spider Man, gunning for Otto Octavius and failing.
Corporate Samurai: He is hired by various corporations - Alchemax, in this case - to track down and eliminate or capture whoever they find threatening. Appearance-wise, he's more of a Corporate Samurai Cowboy.
Create Your Own Villain: If not for Miguel's time travelling shenanigans, Qweeb would have never gone to 2015 and would have never joined the Fist. He even lampshades this, as he asks Aisa to call him Venture because he liked it.
Cyborg: Artificial eyes and limbs.
Death by Adaptation: In the 2019 reboot of Fantastic Four 2099, she gets killed by the robot that's trying to recreate them.
Hoist by His Own Petard: His electric staff is designed in such a way that if anyone who doesn't have his DNA tries to use it, they'll be electrocuted. A few of his enemies time their attacks specifically so Venture gets caught up in the blast.
Logical Weakness: Since he's a cyborg, he's vulnerable to electromagnetic fields. Miguel creates a huge magnet with cars to beat him.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: He doesn't hesitate to kill anyone who gets in his way, is relentless in his pursuit, and takes no jokes from anybody.
Professional Killer: Part of his job.
Punch-Clock Villain: Only comes after people he's been paid to go after. He's even willing to pass up opportunities at Spider-Man when the job at hand requires him to go after his sister.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Once his visual implants break, his eyes are revealed to be red. Subverted in that his natural eyesight is apparently crap, so the danger factor is reduced a lot once they're revealed.
Scarily Competent Tracker: He can track heat signatures that are several hours old, meaning that it's almost impossible to evade him.
Shock Stick: His staff can cause electric shocks.
Space Cowboy: Well, not space, but there's absolutely no reason for him to dress like a cowboy in a cyberpunk setting.
Spell My Name With An S: Is it Kweeb or Qweeb?
Starter Villain: He's the first enemy Miguel has to fight, forcing him to think on the fly and explore his powers.
Super-Senses: Thanks to his implants, he has heat-tracking vision and super hearing.
Villain Team-Up: He joins the Sinister Six 2099 after the Goblin is exposed.
Villainous Breakdown: He completely looses his composure when Miguel cuts himself free from his binds.

The Specialist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/specialist_earth_928.jpg

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #4

An agent of Stark-Fujikawa who kidnaps Kasey Nash for an unknown purpose.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: His sword cut through Kasey's gun like butter.
Accidental Murder: The victim of one. Miguel reflexively cut his throat with his talons.
Badass Biker: He travels with a flying motorcycle.
The Cameo: He briefly appears in Secret Wars 2099.
Code of Honour: To fit with his Samurai image, he has a matching code of honour in battle; he refuses to harm anyone who does not interfere with his mission (and even warns civilians against doing so), tries to inflict minimal harm to his targets, and refuses to kill an anonymous enemy, while taking insult when an enemy is holding back against him.
Corporate Samurai: He's an assassin for Stark-Fujikawa and is actually dressed like a samurai, complete with the code of honour that goes along with it.
Family-Unfriendly Death: We see his throat getting sliced and then collapse as he bleeds to death. And his death is broadcasted to the whole city, making this an In-Universe case as well.
Gratuitous Japanese: He is Japanese, so it makes sense he curses in that language.
Katanas Are Just Better: It's his main weapon in an era with advanced power armour and laser guns. His other weapon is also of the ninja variety.
No-Sell: Kasey tries to shoot him with the same gun she downed a guard with, but he doesn't even notice it.
Professional Killer: He was hired to kill Spider-Man.
Samurai: Well, the Hollywood depiction of one. Complete with the ponytail, kimono and katana.
Samurai Ponytail: His hairdo.
Third-Person Person: He always refers to himself as "this one" (think the Hanar from Mass Effect, if you're familiar with it).
Ungrateful Bastard: During their confrontation, Miguel does his best not to kill him, even saving him from a lethal fall, and the Specialist admonishes him for lacking a killer instinct.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He dies in the second issue after his appearance.
Would Hit a Girl: His job is to capture Kasey Nash.
Would Not Shoot a Civilian: As part of his moral code, he refuses to harm anyone not directly involved in his business. That's why he leaves Gabriel and Miguel (in his civilian guise) alone.

Vulture 2099

Vulture

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #6

The leader of a gang called the Freakers in Downtown. His goal is to "reach the skies", and he tries to get Miguel to join him.

Back from the Dead: Miguel left him fall to his death, but he somehow returns over 20 issues later with no explanation whatsoever, or any visible marks for his fall. He even wants revenge for the event.
Badass Boast: In his introduction.
Vulture: When you put yourself in the Vulture's talons, not even the sky is the limit.
Blade Below the Shoulder: He has gauntlets with artificial retractable claws.
Cannibal Larder: The room he keeps the corpses in is huge.
Chest Insignia: A skull with wings on each side.
Clothes Make the Superman: Without his metallic wings, he only has his normal human strength to fall back to.
Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. He says that he was made by someone and broke away from them.
Face–Heel Turn: He tries to get Spider-Man to join his gang. It doesn't work.
Faux Affably Evil: He's fairly decent to Miguel, up until S-Man makes it clear he wants no business with him. Then he's a complete monster.
Hidden Depths: He's actually quite intelligent and insightful, as he figures out that Spider-Man is a corporate man with a few short minutes of conversation, and makes some pretty valid points about the state of society.
I Just Want to Be Free: His motive, other than Might Makes Right, is to be able to fly free in the skies without being monitored by Alchemax all the time.
I'm a Humanitarian: He thinks the strong have the right to eat the weak, and he has a whole room filled with corpses for eating. He even claims that the rot makes them taste better.
The Leader: He's the head of the Freakers.
Legacy Character: He's the new Vulture.
Mr. Exposition: He's the one who explains everything about Downtown to Miguel.
Razor Wings: He uses them to cut people into pieces.
The Social Darwinist: He claims that it's only natural for groups with different causes to fight against each other, and it's only natural for the strong to devour the weak. Literally.
Villain Has a Point:
- He's completely right in saying that Alchemax has an absurd level of control over New York.
- He's also right in saying that people tend to be fascinated with anything that different or novel.
Villain Team-Up:
- In the original run, he teams up with Goblin 2099 for some unknown purpose.
- He's a member of the Sinister Six 2099.
Villainous Rescue: He saved Miguel from the Public Eye to use him for his own ends.

Siege

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/situation_emergency_gear_spider_man_2099_vol_1_11.jpg

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #11

A Public Eye officer armoured with a rare "Siege" armour developed by both Alchemax Industries and Stark-Fujikawa.

Apologetic Attacker: He admits that he admires Spider-Man a lot and keeps apologizing for attacking him.
The Cameo: Several SIEGE units appear in Peter David's Captain Marvel.
Fun with Acronyms: SIEGE stands for SItuation Emergency GEar.
Legacy Character: An odd case, since it's the armor that bears the title rather than the guy himself.
Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is never stated. Miguel just calls him "Siege" in his head, after the armour.
Punch-Clock Villain: He doesn't want to attack Spider-Man, but his job forces him to use lethal force, so he does.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He gets killed by Thanatos in the same issue he appears in.

Thanatos

Richard Jones

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #11

A mysterious individual in ancient armor who claims to hail from the Heroic Era. Eventually, it is revealed that he's an alternative version of Rick Jones.

Assimilation Plot: He wants to fuse together all the Rick Jones of the multiverse to create the ultimate Rick Jones.
Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: He wears an ancient Greek armour.
Been There, Shaped History: He claims to have been present when Thor died.
Bling of War: Not confirmed, but his armour looks gold.
Brought to You by the Letter "S": His aircraft has the letter Omega in the underside.
Canon Immigrant: He eventually becomes an enemy of Captain Marvel.
Evil Laugh: He has that.
Mythology Gag: In his fight against Miguel, he mentions several members of the original Spider-Man's Rogues Gallery.
No-Sell: Miguel's talons do nothing to him.
Villainous Rescue: He saved Spider-Man from Siege.

Flipside

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #29

An android which survived in stasis from the Heroic Era. It has a database of old superheroes, and can mimic the powers of any super-human he meets based on their appearance.

All Your Powers Combined: When Flipside met Miguel, it recognised him as a super-human and tried to match his face with those in its database. What it ended up with was both Spider-Man and Venom, which resulted in Flipside copying the appearance and characteristics of both.
Ax-Crazy: The robot is completely psychotic; think Deadpool at his very worst and you got its personality down (minus the Medium Awareness).
Desperately Craves Affection: It's very clingy and tries to hug Miguel and get him to love it at any given opportunity.
Evil Twin: It's made to copy the appearance and abilities of any super-human it encounters (as long as they have a match in the database), and it's nuts.
Made of Indestructium: How it managed to survive all those years completely unscathed is a mystery.

Risque

Venture's younger sister, who's in the same line of work as him.

Cyborg: Even more so than her brother, as the only organic parts of her left are parts of her head and torso.
Professional Killer: She was also hired to kill Spider-Man.
Pungeon Master: She makes a pun every other sentence, and admits she loves them too much to stop.
Redhead In Green: She dresses in green and has red hair in a bowlcut.

Discord

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #18

An entity in the Digital Unreality that tries to destroy it and everyone in it. He's responsible for all the machines in New York going mad.

Ambiguously Human: It's unclear whether he's human or an AI.
Back from the Dead: Gabriel exclaims that he should be dead when he sees him.
The Dreaded: A scientists brings up to Tyler Stone that the city-wide hacking may be Discord's fault. His reaction?
Tyler Stone: We're dead.
Freudian Excuse: He says that he's created a program that can predicts the future with 100% accuracy and it sucks eggs.
From Nobody to Nightmare: His hacking started out small, with minor glitches, so it went unnoticed by Alchemax. Suddenly he took over everything electronic in the city.
Noodle Incident: The "Domino Crash". Gabriel and some other veteran users had fought against him in the past and won, and largely managed to keep the incident under wraps. Any details beyond that are unknown.

Kron Stone / Venom 2099

Kron Stone

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5763253_venom_2099.jpg

Debut: The Punisher 2099 (vol.1) #1

Tyler Stone's son, and unknowingly the older half-brother of Miguel O'Hara. Rather than take up his father's legacy, he instead became a psychotic murderer who specifically targets happy families. As one of these families was Jake Gallows's, the man took up the mantle of The Punisher 2099. After their encounter, the Punisher left him for dead in the sewers after stabbing him. By a stroke of luck, there he found the Venom Symbiote and seeks to kill his father, putting him in the sights of Miguel.

'80s Hair: Kron had an... interesting haircut. His hair was long, straight, and somehow standing up like an upside-down mop. Averted once he reappears in Spider-Man 2099 as he was essentially living as a hobo in the sewers since he was last seen and now it looks like Barbarian Longhair instead.
Abusive Parents: Tyler Stone had nothing but disdain for Kron. Upon noticing him in captivity, Tyler promised to have him executed once he regained control of Alchemax.
Alternate Self:
- The Kron Stone in Timestorm became a monstrous version of the Scorpion. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions lampshades this by positing that they're either the same person or Kron Stone is a really common name in 2099.
- He reappears as Venom in Vol. 3 as part of a Bad Future accidentally caused by Miguel, is recruited by the Fist, and is left stranded in Earth-616 and hasn't been seen since.
Archnemesis Dad: He wants to kill his father and has tried to do so many times. It's mutual.
Ashes to Crashes: Upon being given what were assumed to be Kron's ashes, Tyler flushed them down the toilet.
Ax-Crazy: The symbiote bonding to him actually seemed to make Kron slightly less of a homicidal maniac. Now he only targets his father and anyone who gets in the way rather than random people.
Badass Abnormal: When last seen, the symbiote had bonded to Roman the Sub-Mariner, an already extremely powerful New Atlantean, and one who happens to hate all surface life. Oh crap.
Barbaric Bully: He bullied Miguel when they were kids, and he only got worse with each passing year.
Barbarian Longhair: His hairdo from bonding with Venom onwards.
Big Brother Bully: Though he and Miguel didn't know they shared DNA.
Big, Screwed-Up Family: By far the craziest member of the Stone family, he's a psychotic murderer who targets families and his ultimate goal is to kill his own father. He also tried to kill his half-brother Miguel multiple times.
Blob Monster: Can become amorphous at will, and travel through plumbing.
Bloody Murder: He has Hollywood Acid for body fluids.
The Bully: His first appearance in Spider-Man 2099 was him dumping a bucket of water on Miguel's head just because. After that, his pranks got outright dangerous.
The Bus Came Back: Miguel's 2015 series has him being flung into an alternate, Mordor-like version of 2099, and guess who the first person he runs into there is?
Venom: How you doing, little bro? I have some friends who would love to meet you.
Cain and Abel: The Cain to Miguel's Abel, and yep, Kron has tried to kill him many times.
The Cameo: Venom 2099 is included in the Continuity Cavalcade shown in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, #23
Chest Insignia: Notably, it's not attached to the rest of the suit, instead dangling from white strands.
Connected All Along: Not only was Venom Miguel's childhood bully and the son of his greatest nemesis, they're even half siblings!
Dehumanization: After he's captured by Alchemax, both Miguel and Tyler Stone tell him that he's only kept alive because he's useful as a test subject. Turn out it's only Stone who actually thinks that.
Deflector Shields: When confronted by the new Punisher, he employed a personal force field that rendered all firearms and fast-moving projectiles useless. The Punisher knifed him.
Depower: Kron was separated from the symbiote, which would go on to run off with Roman.
Dirty Coward: One beating is all it takes to reduce him to a sniffling mess.
Dramatic Unmask: One that was preceded by a brutal beating on Miguel's hands, only for the latter to be lost for words when he recognises him.
Evil Evolves: The symbiote mutated over the course of a century, giving Kron enhanced abilities.
Extreme Mêlée Revenge: After the depowered Kron was captured, Miguel made him a deal; beat me in a fight, and I'll let you go, but if I win, you tell me all about how you became Venom. Miguel mopped the floor with Kron, and continued to do so even after Kron had cried uncle.
Faking the Dead: Kron melted a vagrant down to a skeleton, and left his I.D. on the body.
Freudian Excuse: He says that his parents left him to be taken care of by a robot, but they never bothered to program it, so it defaulted in veterinarian mode, and treated him like a dog.
Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: While his upbringing is tragic, the fact he decided to take out his frustrations by attacking regular happy families for their "lies" ruin it as one of his victims point out.
Kron: Do you know what it's like to be fitted with a collar, live in a kennel, and be fed on dog meat?!
Jake Gallows: No, but I know what it's like to have your family butchered by a crazy with a sob story
Guns Akimbo: With machine guns, no less.
Healing Factor: A deconstructed case. When he first bonds with the symbiote, both of them were far too weak for this ability to kick in. It took them several months to get back to action.
Hell Is That Noise: Any noise is this to him, as that's Venom's primary weakness.
Hilariously Abusive Childhood: The caretaker robot thought he was a dog.
Hostile Show Takeover: The premise of the variant covers of his arc.
Human All Along: Miguel is shocked to discover a human underneath the goo, considering all of the powers Venom 2099 had previously displayed, like reshaping after being reduced to a puddle.
Insane Troll Logic: Kron wiped out Jake Gallows's relatives, but left Jake alive, reasoning that since Jake was no longer a member of a family, he didn't have a beef with him anymore.
In Spite of a Nail: The Kron Stone of the Civil War 2099 universe somehow still became Venom even though that world's version of Jake Gallows is still a Public Eye officer and not the Punisher, and it's mentioned that his family is still alive.
Kick the Dog: Does everything in his power to torment Miguel, and there's also how he acts while being tried for the murder of the Gallows family.
Kron: Jake! Good to see you... glad you could make it...
Judge: Kron Stone, you are sentenced to a fine of 2.2 mega dollars and micro brain surgery to cure your anti-social behavior.
Kron: Human life—cheap, isn't it? I paid more for this suit.
Nigh-Invulnerable: Being a humanoid blob of acidic gunk, most attacks were either harmlessly absorbed, or passed right through him.
Non-Standard Character Design: Venom 2099 is blue instead of black, has glowing red eyes, a bone-white face, a claw protruding from his ankle, and detached webbing in place of legs on his spider emblems.
No One Could Survive That!: Everyone was convinced that this guy had died at the hands of the Punisher.
Obviously Evil: While almost all of the Venoms look menacing, this one is further augmented by glowing red eyes, and a face that looks like a skull.
The Paranoiac: Back when they were children, Kron was convinced that Miguel and Xina were plotting against him, while in reality Miguel wanted nothing to do with him.
Patricide: The first thing on Kron's to-do list after resurfacing as Venom was killing his father, Tyler.
Poisonous Person: The symbiote has mutated to such a degree that it can now produce acid through its skin.
Purple Is the New Black: As Venom he is dark blue rather than black.
Raised by Robots: His parents left him in the care of one that thought he was a dog.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: He has glowing red eyes.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: He was originally introduced as a Punisher 2099 villain before Jake left him for dead. After that, he became one of Miguel's worst enemies.
Sadist: A textbook example of The Sociopath, as he was murderous even as a child.
Miguel: You're... a monster. Human or not... alien or not... you're a monster.
Sadistic Choice: He forces this on Miguel when he kidnapped both Xina and Dana and asked him to choose which one to save.
Scary Scorpions:
- In the Alternate Universe crossover Timestorm 2009-2099, Kron was transformed into the Scorpion rather than Venom.
- And again in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Kron is transformed into the Scorpion and is trying desperately to become a human again.
Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: As these other tropes will tell you, his behaviour only got worse over the years.
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: If you're rich and/or well-connected in the 2099 Verse, you can get away with anything, regardless of how heinous. In his appearance in Punisher 2099, he avoided his sentence by paying off the judge and the surgeons.
Secret-Keeper: In his vol.3 appearance, he somehow knows both that Miguel is Spider-Man and that they're related, but he forbids the other members of the Sinister Six from unmasking him.
Serial Killer: Predates Mac Gargan in this respect.
Smug Snake: First due to his essentially limitless wealth, and then due to acquiring superpowers.
Society Is to Blame: One of the excuses he gives to the Punisher. It doesn't fly.
Spikes of Villainy: His tongue had spines on it.
Starter Villain: For the Punisher. In a sense, he's also this for Miguel, as Kron was technically the first person to threaten his life and test him willpower.
Teens Are Monsters: While still in school, Kron (among other things) attempted to drown Miguel, and tried to rape a girl at knifepoint.
Token Motivational Nemesis: Kron was this for The Punisher 2099, who in turn caused his transformation into Venom. Ironically, the two never encountered each other again after becoming supers.
Took a Level in Badass: He bonded with the Venom Symbiote.
Villain Team-Up: He's a member of the Sinister Six 2099.
Villains Want Mercy: When Spider-Man finally beats him, despite having killed countless people and put him through a Sadistic Choice, he ends up begging him for mercy.
We Will Meet Again: The parting words of "Venom the Sub-Mariner":
Roman: Rue this day, Alchemax! Dread the future, O'Hara! We return to our ocean home! But someday, we shall finish what we have begun! Enjoy the rest of 2099, O'Hara, for you will not see 2100.
White Mask of Doom: Unlike most incarnations of Venom, the Venom 2099's face is white.
White Hair, Black Heart: As Kron he is a serial killer with white hair.
Would Hurt a Child: He was about to massacre an amusement park when the Punisher caught up with him.

Goblin 2099

Goblin

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jennifer_dangelo_earth_trn590_from_spider_man_2099_vol_3_11_0001.jpg

Legacy Character: Of the original Green Goblin.
Samus Is a Girl: In vol.3, the Goblin's true identity is Jenifer D'Angelo.
Secret Identity: Originally, it seemed it was Gabriel O'Hara, but it turned out to be a shapeshifter. Then, in one of the Bad Futures, it turns out it's Father Jenifer D'Angelo.
Mole in Charge: In vol.3, Jennifer fed information about the activities of the Sinister Six to the resistance.
Secondary Color Nemesis: Like the original's costume, this Goblin's green and purple.

- He's the leader of the Sinister Six 2099.
Villain with Good Publicity: Downtown starts looking up to him after they stopped respecting Spider-Man.

Tiberius Stone

Debut: Iron Man (vol.3) #37

Tyler Stone's father, and the founder of Alchemax. He's every tiny bit as corrupt as his son; or rather, the other way around.

Canon Immigrant: He was originally an Iron Man villain, with no hints of connection to the 2099 series.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: He has no problem selling an army of death robots to a dictator, as long as he makes profit.
Dirty Coward: He admits it!
Mussaret: You will say anything to live, won't you?
Tiberius: Well, yes. Obviously.
In the Blood: Being an asshole runs in the family it seems. Lampshaded by Miguel (and somewhat paraphrased due to spoilers):
Miguel: (thinking) Hard to believe this guy is [Tyler Stone's father]. No wait. Actually it's pretty easy.
Properly Paranoid: He has an internal alarm system and a secure vault in his office. They both turn out to be needed.
Same Surname Means Related: He's revealed to be Tyler Stone's father about 10 years after his introduction.

Liz Allen

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/liz_55.jpg

Debut: Amazing Fantasy #15

An old Spider-Man character, she's now one of the main executives for the newly founded Alchemax Industries.

The tropes here only cover her appearance in Spider-Man 2099. For more information on her, look Spider-Man: Supporting Characters.

Atrocious Alias: When she asks Miguel in the costume who he actually is (she had seen him next to the original Spider-Man during Superior Spider Man), he replies that he's "S-Man", a nickname that many people from 2099 used for him. She thinks it's bullshit.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: She deliberately triggered a jammer to immobilise Peter on two separate occasions, and she tries to make Miguel work for her as Spider-Man, all for her personal benefit.
Properly Paranoid: She refuses to drink anything she didn't pour herself. Tiberius thinks that she's paranoid, but then an "innocent" glass of water turns everyone into a zombie, so she's right.
Spotting the Thread: She figured out that Miguel is Spider-Man because a)he didn't break in the building which means he was already inside (therefore either a visitor - too coincidental - or an employee) and b)his identity belonged to a dead man and none of his credentials checked out.
Underestimating Badassery: When Miguel informs Peter about the company competition for prison plans, he asks him to make Parker Industries win at all costs. Peter replies that he's not too worried because he's known Liz since high school, but Miguel warns him not to underestimate her. Sure enough, Alchemax wins the competition.

T.O.T.E.M.

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.2) #1

Not actually his real name. He's a member of a police force from 2211 and is tasked with eliminating time-travelers, including Miguel.

Affably Evil: He's not having as much fun doing his job as a typical villain, and he compliments Miguel on the tuxedo Lyla conjures for him, saying it looks good. Shortly afterwards, he tries to cut an offer with Miguel to kill Liz Allen instead, as she already had her child, and her death could easily substitute Miguel's death.
By-the-Book Cop: He follows the law of his time even though he knows how crazy it is.
Casual Danger Dialogue: Probably because there's no threat that can stand up to him.
Death Ray: His default weapon.
Fun with Acronyms: T.O.T.E.M. stands for Temporal Oversight Team Eliminating Mistakes.
Insane Troll Logic: In 2211, the penalty for time travel is execution, and they apply to any time traveler, regardless of whether or not they died before the law was established a.k.a. not knowing the law existed.
Miguel: That's insane!
T.O.T.E.M.: I know. Go argue with the law.
Kick the Dog: Not above straight-up murdering people who don't "matter" if they inconvenience him.
Punch-Clock Villain: To put it in his words:
T.O.T.E.M. (absolutely exasperated by that point): This is taking too long. I have other jobs to attend to...
Time Police: That's the job of his unit.

Doctor Chronos

Dr. Alexi Chronos

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alexi_cronos_earth_616_from_spider_man_2099_vol_3_2_001.jpg

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.3) #2

Doctor Doom's teacher, who organised a terrorist strike for unknown reasons.

Faux Affably Evil: He offered Miguel a cup of coffee. It was so acidic that if melted the floor.
Cyborg: The only organic part left of him is his head.
Evil Cripple: Though we may be stretching the definition of "cripple" here, since he's the cyborg to end all cyborgs.
Evil Genius: This is the guy who taught Doctor Doom.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Atropos kills him just as he was about to spill the beans to Miguel. Miguel is left scratching his head, trying to figure out if he somehow broke his skull by accident or something else.

Gloriana

Rhonda Fleming

A scientist at Parker Industries who turned out to be an Inhuman. She was later recruited by the Fist.

A God Am I: After awakening her considerable power, she decides to become a goddess and invades a church to demand worship. Mind you, she's just an Inhuman.
Freudian Excuse: She claims that since God never answered people's prayers, she'll take His place.
Power Glows: She's literally glowing gold.
Teleportation: One of her abilities.
Time Travel: Another one of her abilities.
Took a Level in Badass: She awakened as an Inhuman.

Doc Octopus 2099

Doctor Octopus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5245093_spider_man_2099_2015_011_005.jpg

Legacy Character: Of the original Dr. Octopus.
Punny Name: He actually looks like an octopus. He's Atlantean.
Unscaled Merfolk: Well, he's an Atlantean with octopus tentacles.
Villain Team-Up: He's a member of the Sinister Six 2099.

Electro 2099

Electro

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spider_man_2099_vol_3_21_textless.jpg

Androids Are People, Too: His main reason for wanting to destroy humanity.
A Day in the Limelight: Unlike the rest of the Sinister Six 2099 (except Goblin and Venom who were introduced much earlier), Electro gets a fairly long arc with him in the center of events, which eventually ends with revealing plot-critical information.
Grew Beyond Their Programming: Originally, he was nothing more than a worker drone.
Legacy Character: Of the original Electro.
Villain Team-Up: He's a member of the Sinister Six 2099.

Sandwoman

Affirmative-Action Legacy: As the name indicates, she's a female Sandman.
Legacy Character: Of Sandman.
Sand Blaster: She can turn her body into sand which has various properties.
Villain Team-Up: She's a member of the Sinister Six 2099.

Aisa

Atropos

The third of the Three Fates of Classical Mythology who cuts the thread of life. Now she's the leader of the Fist, and her goal is to kill all humans.

Cover Identity Anomaly: When she introduces herself as Aisa, Layla immediately for figures out she's Atropos, because "Aisa" is an exceptionally rare name, and the only reference she can find on it is as an alternate name for Atropos.
Freudian Excuse: Her reasoning for trying to kill off humanity is because we're killing each other already.
Gorgeous Greek: Yep. She looks like a supermodel. She's a Greek goddess, after all.
Just a Machine: She calls Lyla exactly that when the two argue over the value of human life.
Karma Houdini: The Vulture rescues her before Miguel could do any real damage to her.
Kill All Humans: Her plan for humanity; instead of killing them one by one, let's kill them a few millions at the time.
The Leader: Of the Fist. One of them, at any rate.
Logical Weakness: As she finds out when she tries to cut Miguel's thread of life, she can't kill someone who's already dead.
Oh, My Gods!: As a Greek goddess she references her divine peers in her expressions.
Physical God: She seemed by all rights a normal human woman before The Reveal.
Shear Menace: She has a golden pair of scissors she can use to remotely kill whoever she wants by finding and cutting their life's thread. She can even telekinetically immobilize them while doing it.

Carnage 2099

Carnage

Alter Ego: Michael Erick

Debut: Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #1

Beware My Stinger Tail: Carnage 2099 has a long prehensile tail with a bladed tip, and according to the handbook entry-style variant cover for Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #1 it can use said tail-blade to drain its victims of blood.
Bloodlust: Carnage can drain the blood from its victims like a vampire using its claws and tail-blade, and uses this to sustain itself.
Gone Horribly Wrong: The Carnage Cell project was an offshoot of Project Venom intended to treat blood-borne diseases like leukaemia and vampirism, but mutated to consume the blood itself and became highly aggressive. Michael Erick bonded to it hoping to use it to save himself from an angry mob looking to exact revenge for the crimes he'd committed as a member of the black card system... only for the symbiote to consume him from the inside out and puppeteer his corpse.
Possessing a Dead Body: According to the handbook entry-style variant cover for Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #1, Michael Erick is little more than a husk being puppeteered by the Carnage symbiote.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: According to the handbook entry-style variant cover for Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #1, Carnage is black with red layered overtop due to being composed of a modified sample of the Venom symbiote and the blood of its victims.
Xenomorph Xerox: Carnage 2099 has a mostly-black body — the red parts layered overtop being made of blood — with what appear to be visible ribs, digitigrade feet, a long prehensile tail with a bladed tip, and spikes running down its back and tail.

Miguel's fiancée. She works as an assistant at Synthia East's Agro Department.

A Family Affair:
- She started dating Miguel while she was still dating his brother Gabriel.
- And then she started seeing Tyler Stone, who unbeknownst to her is Miguel's father.
Ambiguous Criminal History: She appears to be a regular Girl Next Door, but she has both ties to the black market, and a BFG. How she got either of those is a mystery.
Amicable Exes: She's still on pretty good terms with Gabriel.
Betty and Veronica: She had this dynamic with Xina, with her being Betty. Xina later describes their relationship as them always competing with each other.
BFG: In vol.2, it's revealed that she left one in Gabriel's apartment "just in case".
Connected All Along: It's revealed that Father Jennifer is her sister.
Damsel in Distress:
- She's almost abducted by Thanatos, but she wasn't his real target.
- She got kidnapped by Venom.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: She dies in Miguel's arms after she got hit by a stray bullet aimed for Venom.
Drowning My Sorrows: When Miguel and Gabriel are both trapped in the Cybernet, she asks Conchata, who was already drinking, for a swing.
Easily Forgiven: Gabriel forgives her too easily for her cheating, but that's because she asked him not to ruin his relationship with Miguel over her.
Exact Words: In regards to an account in Alchemax that Dana made behind Miguel's back.
Dana: I mean, if you want me to drop the account, tell me.
Miguel: Drop the account.
Dana: NO!!
Miguel: You said I should tell you if I want to.
Dana: Yeah, I know, but I didn't promise I'd do it.
First-Name Basis: She calls Tyler Stone "Tyler" after he asks her to.
Friend in the Black Market: Implied when she tells Miguel that she knows people out of Alchemax who can provide Rapture, even though Alchemax is the only legal distributor.
Improbable Hairstyle Sequence: She changes her haircut almost every time she's seen.
Locked Out of the Loop: Dana realises that there's something that Miguel and Gabriel aren't telling her, so she starts loosing her faith in them.
Love at First Sight: When she first saw Miguel.
Love Dodecahedron: She was originally Gabriel's girlfriend, but then she and Miguel fell in love with each other and eventually got engaged.

Mayfly–December Romance: She starts seeing Tyler Stone, who has a son that's the same age as her fiance.

Where It All Began: She died in Miguel's arms in the same club where she met him.

Winston

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #5

Tyler Stone's personal assistant / secretary / aide.

Ambiguously Human: It's unclear whether he's a cyborg or an android.
Brain/Computer Interface: To the point that he is hackable.
Brainwashed and Crazy: He's infected by a computer virus that hit the entire city and tries to kill Tyler Stone in blind rage. He apologizes profusely when he comes to his senses.
Cyborg: He has a third mechanical arm, and some implants in his brain.
Girl Friday: Rare Male Example. He hits all the points except the "female" and "sexual tension" bits. The last one would require him to actually emote.
One-Way Visor: Mostly likely part of his cybernetic enhancements.
Reasonable Authority Figure: He frequently reminds Tyler Stone of things such as how time travel actually works or the disadvantages of sending employees to unfamiliar territory.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes are red, and the only time we see them is when he tries to kill Tyler Stone.

George O'Hara

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #9

Miguel and Gabriel's deceased father. He's already dead by the time the comic starts.

Abusive Parents: He would hit Miguel if he didn't behave exactly as he wanted him, and he completely ignored Gabriel.
Fantasy-Forbidding Father: His main goal was to advance through Alchemax's ranks even if it meant using his children. Therefore, he constantly praises Miguel for his interest in science, while completely ignoring Gabriel, who was talented in the arts.
Big, Screwed-Up Family: George was a short-tempered man who was using physical punishment on his sons, and barely acknowledged Gabriel's existence while pushing Miguel to be perfect (especially messed-up once you find out that Miguel is not even related to him). It got to the point that Miguel hoped the man would grow really old just to suffer from all the perils and indignation of his advanced age. He was also getting in constant fights with Conchata and didn't allow her any say in Miguel's future.
Hidden Depths: Despite his faults, he's still a high-ranking Alchemax employee and the main designer behind the Public Eye. For Miguel, this just means the old man makes his life difficult even after he bit the dust.
Locked Out of the Loop: Going by his interactions with his family, it's fairly obvious he's unaware of Miguel's true parentage.
Posthumous Character: He's already dead by the start of the series.
Standard '50s Father: One of the more negative potrayals of this trope. He expresses anachronistic racist views, pushes his older son to follow his footsteps while pushing down his youngest son who doesn't, does not heed his wife's opinions, and uses physical punishments on his children.

Father Jennifer

Jennifer D'Angelo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/812024_jenny.jpg

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #8

The priest to a church Downtown.

Be Careful What You Wish For: She prayed to God for a sign. What she got was Spider-Man and the Vulture crash through the window. The narration even lampshades it.
Christianity is Catholic: She's a Catholic priest.
Connected All Along: Miguel defends her church on a frequent basis, and then she's revealed to be the sister of his fiancée Dana.
Get Out!: Her very reasonable reaction when she sees Spider-Man and the Vulture fighting in her church.
Sophisticated as Hell: She curses in her own church. Justified, because she lives Downtown and her church is frequently targeted by gangs.
She Is the King: She's a woman with the title of Father, a title that currently can only be possessed by men (of course, nobody knows what title women would use if they were allowed to be Roman Catholic priests, because they're currently not).

Xina Kwan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2097455_sp.png

Miguel's ex girlfriend and childhood friend, she's obsessed with the late 20th century lifestyle and a genius with computers and robots.

Asian and Nerdy: She's Chinese and a genius with machines.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Her field of interest since she was a child was E.T.s. The first one she met was Venom.
Betty and Veronica: She lampshades this trope, as she admits her relationship with Dana was always antagonistic.
Childhood Friend Romance: With Miguel. In one continuity they even get married.
Exact Words: Well, in 2099, a rocket car is an antique.
Gadgeteer Genius: She's amazing with computers and machines.
Love Dodecahedron: Probably the least involved person in this whole mess, but Miguel cheated on her with Dana. And then she tries to get him back while Dana was engaged to him.

Angela Daskalakis

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #8

An old teacher of Miguel's with a strong anti-corporate mindset.

Badass Teacher: Anyone who can snap someone's arm without breaking a sweat and metaphorically spit at the face of one of the most powerful people on earth has to be a badass.
Cool Old Lady: She's pretty strict but she cares deeply for ber students, and was not afraid to get her hands dirty to protect them. She protected Miguel from Kron when he was a kid, and eventually gave her life to protect her town. All in all, she is one of the very few people Miguel has held in high esteem over the years, and has an epic case of Heroic B So D after he failed to save her.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: She died in Miguel's arms, even after he made a web cocoon to protect her from the blast.
First-Name Basis: She insists everyone calls her by her first name - even her students.
Impossibly Tacky Clothes: She is by far, the most eccentrically dressed person in 2099 as a whole.
Insistent Terminology: She insists on calling New York by its normal name, despite some people calling it "Nueva York". She calls the name change pointless and believes it'll never come to fruition.
Punny Name: "Daskalakis" is derived from the word "daskalos" which means teacher.
Reasonable Authority Figure: She tolerates absolutely no bullying at her school, and will do absolutely everything in her power to ensure that the wrongdoers are punished and the other children are safe and happy.
Token Minority: By her name it's very obvious she's Greek.

Jordan Boon

Debut: Spider-Man 2099 (vol.1) #11

Miguel's new assistant after Aaron died. They really, really hate each other.

The Cameo: He briefly appeared in Peter David's run of Captain Marvel.
Eyepiece Prank: He lined the inside of Miguel's microscope lens with a marker just to spite him.
Insufferable Genius: Needless to say, that makes the two of them get alone like oil and water.
Ungrateful Bastard: Not that he's not thankful to be saved from the rumble, he just hates that it's Miguel who did it.
Miguel: Lucky it wasn't your real arm.
Jordan: Too bad it wasn't your head.
Miguel: Now there's gratitude!

Raul

An employee at Parker Industries with a surprisingly old-fashioned way of thinking.

Good Old Ways: He insists on using paper instead of computers, and expresses nostalgia for the times when people spoke face-to-face instead of over the phone.
Mr. Exposition: He's the one who explains Dr. Chronos's backstory to Miguel.
Properly Paranoid: That's how he explains his insistence to use paper instead of digital files.
Jasmine: You expect an EMP bomb?
Raul: And you don't?
