Marvel has revealed upcoming plans for a “Fearlessly Femme” gay Spider- Man, accoriding to writer and editor Steve Fox helped, writing on Twitter before he made his tweets protected.
“Surprise: I had the huge gay honour of helping to co-create Web-Weaver, who’ll make his debut in Edge of the Spider-verse this September!”
“Something I realised immediately when conceiving Web-Weaver is that he can’t – and shouldn’t – represent ALL gay men,” Fox said. “No single character can,
His fearlessly femme identity is central to who he is, but it’s not the STORY… Which you can experience for yourself in September.”
Appearing on Edge of the Spider Verse #5, we get a new origin story with “A not-so-mild mannered fashion designer at Van Dyne gets spider powers and shows us a very different kind of Spider-Slayer.”
