** The Chameleon is reimagined as a designer drug that alters the user's DNA and allows largely uncontrollable shapeshifting that, more often than not, results in a slow and agonizing death. It's so volatile that even Alchemax (it's creator) wants nothing more to do with it.

'''Spider-Man 2099''' was the first title of MarvelComics' Franchise/Marvel2099 venture.

Miguel O'Hara, a geneticist for the MegaCorp Alchemax, is working on a way to splice a person's genetic codes to give them superpowers. He bases his ideal creation on one of the heroic age's greatest super-heroes, {{Spider-Man}}, hoping to create the ultimate "corporate raider". When an experiment goes awry, resulting in the death of the volunteer, Miguel decides to quit. However, his boss, Tyler Stone, tricks him into taking some [[FantasticDrug Rapture]], a drug that bonds with the user's genetic structure, so they need it like they need air to breathe. As Alchemax is the only legal supplier of the drug, Stone believes Miguel will have no choice but to stay with Alchemax.

As Alchemax is the only legal supplier of the drug, Stone believes Miguel will have no choice but to stay with Alchemax.

Refusing to accept this, Miguel sneaks into his lab that night, hoping to use his genetic imprint (Which he had used as a base in his experiments) to restore him to the way he was before. However, a jealous co-worker sees him, and sabotages the machinery, hoping to kill him. Instead, Miguel emerges with the Spider-Man code, having gained fangs, claws, and enhanced strength and vision.

After being forced to run from Alchemax security, Miguel finds himself chased by Venture, a {{Cyborg}} sent by Stone to capture him so he can be studied. Donning an outfit he wore for a day of the dead festivel, Miguel takes on Venture, and beats him, signalling the beginning of his career as the Spider-Man of 2099.

Although Miguel started off looking for a cure for his condition, he soon realised the horrors Alchemax and the other megacorps had caused the world, and made it his mission to make things better.

Spider-Man 2099 was by far the most prolific Marvel 2099 title, with the character surviving long after the franchise's end. After guest-starring in the ''SuperiorSpiderMan'' series, Miguel is set to have his own title own more: Trapped in the present, he works to undermine the fledging Alchemax before it becomes the evil corporation of his time.

* SuperReflexes: Unlike [[SpiderMan his namesake]], Spider-Man 2099 does not have a SpiderSense ''per se''. Instead, he has enhanced perceptions that happen to tune in more quickly to what's pertinent, such as an immediate danger or a general plot point. Unlike SpiderSense, it's limited by what his senses are focused on, and he could still be caught flat-footed.
* TwoferTokenMinority: Miguel is of both Irish and Mexican descent.
