Marvel | Spider-Man | X-Men | NEW!! DC Comics | Batman | Superman | Wonder Woman
Because he created Miles by putting his own personal experience with his adopted kid into Miles, so I think he felt he had a lot vested into the character even after he left the book. He was allegedly told by Marvel that Peter would be in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN while Miles would be in SPIDER-MAN, only for Marvel to add MILES MORALES to the title, which Bendis allegedly felt was diminishing Miles in the role.
Not really a kid but more of an odd feat of science that has gone on unexplained. Because if I recall it’s the son of Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl, but created from some fictional alternate reality future created by the Forger which was erased but somehow the kid survived it...talk about a mouthful.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
Does MM even have a book for someone to replace?
Agree, but there would still probably be a Justice League with members that might not have their own books...
Superman: Jon
Batman: Luke
Wonder Woman: ????
Green Lantern: Teen Lantern grown up (?)
Aquaman: Current unborn child of Arthur/Mera
Flash: Wallace? Unborn child of Barry/Iris?
Martian Manhunter: M'gann or the other-dimensional child of Kendra/J'onn?
Cyborg: No idea who would succeed Vic...or maybe he's ageless due to his Cyborg attributes?
That's an interesting story. I would have tried to reach a compromise by calling the book Miles Morales: The Spectacular Spider-Man. No one can say that would be diminishing him because one of Peter Parker's most classic comic series is called Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man.
I mean, but based on the new timeline Cyborg isn't even a founding member anymore, right? What would he have to teach.
Also, I think that it Aquaman's child would be both too obvious, done before with Superman, and WAY too young. I would say the same for any other child. I think they're going with Jon because who else could replace Superman but a half human/half Kryptonian son?
For the other I think what they mean by "less obvious" are characters in the periphery who's backstories don't depend on the current Leaguers. They *might* be going with Luke Fox for Batman cause he mostly does his own thing and isn't one of his adopted robins. I think.
