What do you think Nick Spencer's impact will be on the brand?

[Hybrid]

All the writers who have been on Spider-Man long enough have made their impact felt on the brand, both within the comics, and in other mediums. Even as recently as Dan Slott, you have Otto Octavius as Spider-Man (which also completely changed his characterization for better or for worse), his rogues Mr. Negative and Screwball being characters in Spider-Man PS4, and of course Spider-Verse inspiring the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie. Though the Superior Spider-Man bit was undone by...sigh... Mephisto (goddammit).

So with that said, what do you think will be Nick Spencer's overall impact on the brand later on both in the comics and on the outside? It'll be fun to see how our predictions line up in the future.

Some that come to mind:

• Boomerang's characterization and arc will be heavily patterned off of Spencer's portrayal of him, from his personality, nuances and relationship with Peter, not to mention his appearance itself (which was already seen in Ultimate Spider-Man).
• Lady Beetle will be heavily characterized by Spencer's portrayal of her, and we're likely to see her in other mediums. Her character was heavily retooled by Spencer, after she debuted fighting Bucky and Black Widow, she was tied to the Spider-Man mythos and the Scott Lang Ant-Man, and we have him to thank for that.
• Kindred being set up as a major villain for Spider-Man, which will undoubtedly be a major villain contribution for Spencer both in the comics and out.

Anything else to note?

Ana isn't the new Kraven the Hunter. His clone is.

Oh yeah. I got it mixed up tbh. It's weird because I read through it multiple time but I guessed I just skimmed through that part due to how much was going on.

Still, any ideas?

Peter's graduate studies will likely carry over to the next writer. If he does get his doctorates, then he'll be Dr. Parker officially (and legally). If he doesn't and keeps studying, then the next writer will keep it up

Do you think the OG Kraven will be another example of a Comic Book Death where he eventually comes back somehow? How long until then if so?

I think that clone was made precisely to avoid that, since he's identical to Kraven in appearance, and probably will be in personality.

Wonder if we'll have writers who'll get confused and think that clone is the Kraven and not some clone lol.

I think Ana was Kraven the Hunter for a while, but then she went to limbo, and Kraven still kept showing up, so I guess it went back to him quietly.

But yeah, that clone will be Kraven the Hunter now, I wonder what his characterization will be like, although, from what we see in Hunted, he's not that different from Classic Kraven...
