History
Miguel, an engineer of Irish and Mexican descent, worked for Alchemax. He was less than pleased at the corporation's vast control over the city. A genius in the field of genetics he was being pressured by Tyler Stone (Earth-928) to test a process to imprint genetic codes into human physiology. He reluctantly tried the process on a test subject called Mills. It was a faliure - Mills was transformed into a hideous creature and quickly died. This was the last straw for Miguel - he went to Stone and attempted to hand in his notice. Stone gave and Miguel accepted a drink which, unknown to Miguel had been laced with the highly addictive hallucinogenic drug called Rapture. As Alchemax (Earth-928) was sole manufacturer of the drug, Stone expected that Miguel would be forced to remain with the company. In an attempt to rid himself of the toxin, Miguel decided to try the genetic procedure, which had killed Mills, on himself. The process was sabotaged and he was spliced with the genes of a spider in the attempt to kill him (and be covered up as an 'accident'). Miguel survived the process and gained several powers.
Making a costume from a Day of the Dead (a traditional Mexican holiday) outfit, Miguel battled Alchemax and other villains as the Spider-Man of 2099.
While battling CEO Tyler Stone, he learned that Stone was his real father. Both of his half-brothers became enemies. Gabe became the Green Goblin of 2099. Kron Stone, having been wounded by Punisher (Jake Gallows), was bonded with the recovered Venom symbiote and became Venom 2099. As Venom, Kron kidnapped Dana D'Angelo, resulting in her accidental death at the hands of SHIELD agents.
Kron was captured and uncooperative with authorities. So Miguel paid him a visit, beating him severely until he became more 'cooperative'.
After Doom became 'President of the United States by right of conquest,' Tyler Stone was extended an invitation to join his new Cabinet as Minister of Corporate Affairs. Miguel was chosen to succeed Stone as head of Alchemax's Research and Development department. At the same time, Doom extended an invitation to Spider-Man to join his Cabinet as Minister of Supernormal Affairs.
Miguel met most of the other 2099-era heroes.
Miguel met Spider-Man (Peter Parker) during a time-traveling adventure where they fought the Hobgoblin of 2211.
Recently, a reality-hopping Proteus travelled to Universe 928 (Miguel's reality), arriving at a time before Doom conquered the United States, causing a divergence, and creating an alternate 2099 reality designated Earth-6375. This new, divergent Spider-Man 2099, assisted the Exiles in their battle against Proteus (who took control of the Hulk), but was subdued and unmasked. With his secret identity now all over the Net, Miguel realized his life was over if he remained in his reality. He has apparently agreed to join the Exiles in their mission to stop Proteus.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
O'Hara possesses a variety of superhuman attributes after being genetically imprinted with the DNA of a spider.
Superhuman Strength: O'Hara possesses the proportionate strength of a spider. At his peak, he possesses sufficient superhuman strength to lift up to 10 tons. O'Hara's great strength also extends to his legs, allowing him to leap great distances. He has been known to leap to heights of at least 30 feet in a single bound.
Superhuman Speed: O'Hara can run and move at speeds that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Stamina: O'Hara's advanced musculature generates less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can physically exert himself for at least several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
Superhuman Durability: O'Hara's body is harder and more resistant to certain types of physical injury than the body of an ordinary human, though he's far from invulnerable. His bodily tissues are conditioned to allow him to withstand great impact forces and he has resisted impacts, such as falling from a height of many stories and being repeatedly struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no injury to himself.
Superhuman Agility: O'Hara's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Reflexes: O'Hara's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Sight: O'Hara's visual acuity is considerably beyond that of a normal human. O'Hara can see objects at much greater distances, with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. O'Hara possesses this same level of clarity at night, enabling him to see in near-total darkness. It is possible that he is able to see into the infra-red end of the electromagnetic spectrum, enabling him to see a person's body heat. the flicker-fusion horizon(the speed at which some objects appear as a blur) in his eyes is superior to other people. what appears as a blur to most people, he can see perfectly.
Rapid Healing: O'Hara's accelerated metabolism affords him a rapid healing ability that lets him regenerate damaged bodily tissue faster and more extensively than a normal human is capable of. Injuries such as slashes or puncture woulds can heal completely within a matter of hours. It isn't known if O'Hara's healing powers afford him greater resistance to toxins or diseases; nor if they grant him an extended lifespan. O'Hara healing factor isn't sufficiently enhanced to regenerate severed limbs or missing organs. although he heals at a greater rate than a normal human, he doesn't possess an actual superhuman healing factor.
Claws & Fangs: O'Hara possesses elongated canine teeth that secrete a paralyzing, though non-toxic, venom. He also possesses short, retractable claws at the tips of his fingers and toes that he uses to dig into surfaced, enabling him to crawl along them as a spider might. The claws are also razor sharp and, coupled with his great strength, are able to rend materials as durable as cinderblock.
Spinerettes: Both of O'Hara's forearms contain a set of spinerettes that release a very strong and sticky web-like substance from the back of his wrists. O'Hara can use this webbing to swing from building to building with or as a means of restraining an individual.
Abilities
O'Hara is a skilled and gifted geneticist. He is also a formidable hand to hand combat, despite the fact that he's had little formal training. He uses a special freestyle of fighting that allows him to make full use of his strength, speed, and agility.Weaknesses
His eyes are always bright red.
Paraphernalia
Equipment
O'Hara's costume is made of unstable molecules that are designed to resist tearing of his claws. The costume also includes a light air foil on its back. This foil emits a low concentration of anti-gravity particles that allow O'Hara to glide on currents of air.
Trivia
- Miguel is Irish on his biological father's side (Tyler Stone) and Mexican on his mom's side (Conchata O'Hara).
