10 Essential Spider-Man Storylines That Should Be Made Into Movies

6. Spider-Man 2099

Spiderman 2099 The underrated Spider-Man 2099 series from the 90s by Peter David and Rick Leonardi has a lot of potential for a movie. Miguel O'Hara is a geneticist whose experiments go wrong and €“ shock! €“ he ends up with the powers of the original Spider-Man. Miguel (the first Latino Spider-Man) lives in a dystopian future world where mega corporations rule everything. Miguel/Spider-Man 2099 could be the champion for an audience who dislike big business and their unaccountability to the public. The Alchemax Corporation, an Orwellian company, is Miguel's bugbear but he also fights crazy individual villains like Venture, Thanatos and the Specialist. There's an edge to the character too as he struggles with the idea of killing and being a hero at the same time. His family life was played up a lot in the comics as they were an entertainingly barmy bunch, until the series became a bit too family-centric. In the movie, this should probably be downplayed but the dark future, the first ethnic Spider-Man, and futuristic background would make for a fascinating and different Spider-Man movie.
