A hero passing their mantle on to a successor is a common plot point in superhero comics, with Marvel’s wide cast of characters no exception to this. Plenty of the most notable legacy characters in comics, from Miles Morales’ Spider-Man to Kamala Khan’s Ms. Marvel, have made their mark as original heroes made to succeed someone who existed before them.
However, many legacy characters in the Marvel Universe were not original creations made to succeed a previous character. Many of them had their own titles and reputations as superheroes, and their effort to take on the name of a fellow hero was simply a rebranding to shake up their status quo.
Near the end of the Krakoa era, Orchis— the evil organization seeking to eradicate mutants— manipulated Nightcrawler, forcing him to turn evil and assassinate three anti-mutant-kind government officials. Following this, Kurt abandoned Krakoa, turning instead to protect the mutants of New York who Orchis’ Sentinels were now hunting. However, Nightcrawler’s identity gave away his mutant identity, making him untrustworthy and an easy target. And so, Kurt got an old suit from Peter Parker and became a brand new Spider-Man. He eventually retired his new alter ego, though it helped offer a new perspective to being a street-level hero.
