Confident and smugly self-assured, Miguel then becomes project head of the genetics program for Alchemax, performing research inspired by Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man, of the Heroic Age involving alterations of animals’ genetic structure.
Years later as young adults, Miguel and Xina date until Miguel cheats on her with Gabriel’s girlfriend, Dana D’Angelo. With Xina’s encouragement, Miguel musters the bravery to have Kron expelled from the school. Here he befriends Xina Kwan, who helps Miguel defend himself against the bullying of Kron Stone, son of Alchemax’s Vice President of Research and Development, Tyler Stone. Brilliant and precocious, Miguel is awarded enrollment in the Alchemax School for Gifted Youngsters (formerly the X-Men’s Headquarters) in Westchester under the fair direction of headmistress Angela Daskalakis. Young Miguel O’Hara hails from the alternate universe of Earth-928, during a future time after the end of the “Heroic Age.” He grows up with his eccentric mother, Conchata, younger brother Gabriel, and the abusive man he believes to be his father, George. He sees an opportunity to protect ordinary people against abusive corporations, and decides to use his powers for good and become Spider-Man of the year 2099.
Prodigy-level geneticist Miguel O’Hara gives himself spider-like abilities in an experiment gone wrong.
