Spider-Boy started off on something of a bad foot with many fans, especially given his premise. The “kid sidekick” of Spider-Man who had apparently been lost to time, Spider-Boy is yet another similar character introduced into Spidey’s world. Despite already having stiff competition from Miles Morales and other webslingers, Spider-Boy actually has them beat in one major way.In just the first issue of his new series, Spider-Boy has two established villains that are tied exclusively to him. The same goes for his supporting cast, which is already expanding beyond Peter Parker. Thus, he’s narratively in a much stronger place than Miles or Spider-Gwen, and this potentially sets him up for long-term success.Like almost everything involving Spider-Boy, Spider-Man doesn’t remember ever facing Gutterball. This is why he vainly punches his head, which is in fact a highly durable “indestructi-ball.” This showcases the many ways in which Spider-Boy truly has a life of his own that no one else seems to remember, highlighting the tragedy that defines the young hero. Additionally, this immediately gives him a built-in mythos and rogues gallery, something many newer characters struggle to attain. This can sometimes result in a failure to launch as an independent hero, and it’s still noticeable in the case of more successful characters.
