Confirming the newest addition, Comic book author Steve Foxe revealed that the character named Web-Weaver will possess a ‘fearlessly femme identity. He further detailed that they were careful to develop a queer character that did not generalize LGBTQ stereotypes.

“Surprise: I had the huge gay honor of helping to co-create Web-Weaver, who’ll make his debut in Edge of the Spider-verse this September,” Fox announced on Twitter.
He added: “Something I realized immediately when conceiving Web-Weaver is that he can’t – and shouldn’t – represent ALL gay men. No single character cant.
“His fearless femme identity is central to who he is, but it’s not the STORY… Which you can experience for yourself in September!”
Web-Weaver’s debut issue has been confirmed for an August 3 release. The character will debut alongside three other renditions of Spider-Man, including Spider-Man Noir and a Spider-Man Rex dinosaur hybrid.
