Ya, it had like 15 issues and flopped out. It's cool to think about it, but even if it were a movie NOWadays, they would have really messed it up just to appeal to the current public. I would see it anyways, beacuse of 1 of 2 reasons:
1. To see how much of a mega-flop itll be
2. Just to say "Ive seen all of the spider-man movies."

Dude! Are you on crack!? There are 46 issues of Spidey 2099, not 15. While there wern't anywhere near as many as say.... Amazing Spider-man, the series was a hit when it came out.... it only died off because Marvel got some crappy writters towards the end. I personally think Spider-man 2099 is awesome, its a totally ingenius way of bringing about a completly new and unique Spidey.

Nope, not anywhere near the same thing. Spider-man Unlimited was originally a Spidey that got started during the Maximum Carnage story (its first 3 or 4 issues are all in Maximum Carnage). Then they made a bunch of rather lame spin-offs with the same title after that one got canceled (the original Spidey Unlimited was quite good in the begging). After a while FOX made a rather pathetic and lame cartoon that carried the title; which was basically an alternate universe Spidey that went to some 'Alternate Earth' planet that was overun by anthromorphs.
Spider-man 2099 is nothing like that. It's part of Marvel's old 2099 universe (obviously, lol), which was supposed to depict how the modern day heros would be in the future). In Spidey's story (which also ties into all the other 2099 comics), Spidey is some guy named Micheal O'Hare. Poor Mike doesn't have any super powers, but very smart. He made a costume that mimics modern Spidey's abilites (he had things like micro (as in, couldn't be seen normally) talons on the tips of his fingers and feet, which he could use to climb walls and what not, and he used a Black Cat-esq type of webbing (though, his looked more like webbing, lol). Also, his suit gave him super strength and all that good stuff).
Not only does he look freaking awesome, but he's borderline evil (See pic below). Spidey 2099 is basically a criminal in most people's eyes (as in most people in the comic, not real life). Mike O'Hare is a good guy at heart, but he's rather blood thirsty and when fighting crime, can be rather harsh/go overboard.
Also, Venom 2099 (which wasn't its own comic, just using the name to seperate it from the modern-day V-man) looked awesome and was an ingenius alternative.
Though, to actually stay on-topic, I can't think of anyone specific I'd want to play the characters. But I can say, if a movie was made, I'd definatly see it. It'd rock!
Correction to spiderman 2099: (yeah, I know this is an old thread)
Spiderman 2099 was miguel O'hara, not mike O'hare.
His powers were the result of a genetic experiment trying to replicate the powers of the original spiderman. The experiment was flawed, and kept killing the subjects.
He accidentally gained powers when a rival sabotaged a machine he was in the process of using with the fatal spider program in an attempt to kill him. (He was trying to use the machine to rewrite his genetic code to rid himself of some kind of hyper addictive drug..)
He was about as strong and fast as the original spiderman, but with a few changes. He had organic webbing (no webshooters) He had razor sharp retractable talons/claws to cling to walls like real spiders do. The talons weren't micro by any means- an early issue had him (accidentally) tearing out the throat of a samurai who was attacking him with said claws. In addition, he had enhanced sight, and fangs that could inject a substantial amount of paralyzing venom. He *was* a genius scientist, probably a little smarter than parker.
Also: He didn't invent the suit- it was an unstable molecule costume (like the kind the FF wear) he picked up on a trip to mexico. apparently UM suits grow on trees in 2099.
One of my favorite characters. Damn shame the 2099-verse was spoiled by bad writing.
**kind of spoiler**
IIRC, At the end of the 2099 Run (2099: Manifest Destiny) , he also got ahold of, and was judged worthy of wielding thor's hammer. He eventually lived to be about a thousand years old, and brought peace to the 2099 universe, before giving the hammer (back) to the original Captain America, who had been hanging around in stasis for the last millenia or so.
I've got one issue from this series and i thought it was pretty cool, confusing, but cool.
I always wondered how he got his powers etc & these posts have answered a lot of questions that have been bouncing around the old nogging for a long time.
At least i can free up some brain space now to finally find that cure for cancer i've been promising everyone latlely.
As soon as i find out how Anakins mum got pregnant i should be able to solve world peace & if i have any spare time take a crack at the poverty thing.
before my time once again, but I saw his costume on the web several years ago, and I was in frigging love with it, so much better than the monotonous original spidey. I also acquired the first issue of Spiderman 2099 for 50p (uk) in near mint condition.
in regard to the end of 2099, its an interesting end to the series... and just to add the 2099 universe was cancelled due to them actually outselling their respective, original titles. Marvel don't like spinoffs that do well... but they keep the crap ones.... they are an exemplar of the word stupid
