It's official: Ultimate Peter Parker's son is staying in the mantle of Spider-Man alongside his father. Young Richard Parker took up the mantle in Ultimate Spider-Man #13, wearing Peter's nano-suit, which gives him powers, while Peter Parker has been the captive of Kraven the Hunter.
And now, in Ultimate Spider-Man #17, Marvel is promising "Peter and Richard's first superhero outing together as Spider-Men" as "father and son team up against the Sinister Six," in a new release accompanying the publisher's May Ultimate Universe solicitations.
That's not all that's revealed, as Marvel is also showing off the new Ultimate Sabretooth in Ultimate Wolverine #5, as well as a dramatic shift in the Ultimates as the team seems to disband in Ultimates #12, a "new age" beginning in Ultimate X-Men #15.
And perhaps most importantly, Marvel is also promising the impending announcement of some brand new Ultimate Universe titles ahead - though it hasn't teased what they may be just yet.
Here are all of Marvel's May Ultimate Universe solicitations, along with their covers:
