He started life as a white science geek living with his uncle.
But now to reflect the racial changes in America Spider Man has been given a makeover - as a half black half Latino teen.
Miles Morales has replaced Peter Parker as the face behind the famous webbed mask, Marvel Comics has revealed.
In the latest edition of the Ultimate Fallout series he pulls back the disguise and shows his face for the first time.
Fans will have to wait until the official Spider Man relaunch next month to find out how he came to be the superhero.
But another surprise could be in the pipeline after his creators said that in the future they would not rule out making him gay.

Why not. I’m waiting for the Oppressed Muslim to make it.
“half black latino teen”
Wow, can it get anymore PC. Comics now days are just a shadow of what they were.
At least now he can’t be a “racist”....
Just say NO to drugs.
The suicidal insanity continues . . .
Pick a good seat in this handbasket ... it's going to be one heck of a ride.
Hey, why not go whole hog and make him a cross-dressing vegan cannibal as well?
Eh. Ultimate Nick Fury’s black too. When the Green Lantern movie came out, I actually heard a lot of grumbling from people who were only familiar with John Stewart as opposed to Hal (or Alan) (or Kyle) (or Guy).
Feh. They already have an Indian Spider-Man, and it’s not like it effects the 616 universe.
As long as this new Not-Peter is both a nerd and a smart-ass, I don’t really care.
Ah ya see? I KNEW you hated people in wheelchairs....!
Yeah if I’m a 12 year old boy, I wouldn’t want to be caught dead reading the adventures of a gay spiderman.
Epic fail.
Don’t give them any ideas.
“Spins a web, ANY size...”
Yeah, and GUESS what his web flies out of..?!?!!
It’s sticky, and it grabs onto men.
Just un-motorized ones.../s
Like that old episode of “The Odd Couple” when Felix comes out with the great idea for broccoli flavored chewing gum.
Spider Man. Spider Man.
He likes to take it in the can
If I go into detail I might get banned.
He's Gay Minority Spider Man.
OMG that comment made me laugh my ass off.
Thing is, very few 12 year old boys today read comic books. They’re too busy playing videogames or watching TV. Comics are read (and supported) by geeks, perverts, and general losers of 25-35 years of age who still reside in Mom’s basement and cannot find employment (other than as occasional scriptwriter for recycled, “rebooted”, and “improved” Hollywood dreck).
Hence, the “modern” storylines.
