Peter Parker is white and straight, because that’s how he’s always been portrayed in the comics. Marvel has no agenda beyond Marvel’s interests in the rules as presented it just wants to ensure that Sony follows its lead in how it portrays the characters. That last part, in addition to the far tighter rules around Peter Parker, point to what’s actually the focus for Marvel in issuing these rules: protecting its intellectual property. Even the restriction that’s gained the most attention - “not a homosexual” - has the get-out clause that it’s okay if Marvel has done it in the comics first.
Look at the restrictions for Spider-Man, after all would anyone really take a Spider-Man who smokes, drinks or indulges in underage sex seriously? Spider-Man is, after all, the superhero powered by the idea of “great responsibility,” not the kind of guy who’d deal drugs, never mind kill or torture for the sake of it. ( THRhas reached out to Sony for comment on the licensing agreement.)

(Sorry, any other borough of New York that wanted to claim the character as its own Spidey is spoken for.)Īlthough some online have seen these rules as reason to be upset at Marvel for being socially conservative when it comes to one of its top franchises, it’s clear that the focus of the guidelines - reportedly part of a 2011 contract, which suggests the guidelines were created in part to guide planning for 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man movie reboot - was far less about social progressivism or the lack thereof, and far more about securing the idea of Spider-Man as a superhero.

Peter Parker, meanwhile, has a stricter set of rules his full name, race and sexual orientation are defined (Peter Benjamin Parker, Caucasian and straight, respectively), as are details about his origins as a superhero - although, interestingly, his age is up for grabs with regards to the origin he “gains his powers while attending either middle school or college,” Marvel insisted - and, oddly enough, where he was raised, has to be Queens, New York. The latest Spider-Man reboot is still in the process of casting its lead, with The Impossible star Tom Holland rumoured to be the frontrunner.For Spider-Man, Marvel determined that he must be male and “not a homosexual,” with the interesting addition that the latter would be invalidated if “Marvel has portrayed that character as a homosexual.” Additionally, he does not torture, does not kill “unless in defense of self or others,” doesn’t smoke or abuse alcohol, sell or distribute drugs, or have sex before the age of 16 or with anyone below that age. His comments follow news that Miles Morales, a mixed-race iteration of Spider-Man, will be replacing Peter Parker in the comics.
I say create new characters the way you want to. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it’s so easy to add new characters. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. “It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that,” he said. Lee was also keen to point out that his remarks had nothing to do with bigotry, but rather with staying true to his work. I have no problem with creating new, homosexual superheroes.” “But again, I don’t see any reason to change the sexual proclivities of a character once they’ve already been established. “I think the world has a place for gay superheroes, certainly,” he said. Lee is also in agreement with the requirement that Parker’s sexuality should remain as originally written, but is open to the idea of other homosexual comic book characters.
“I wouldn’t mind, if Peter Parker had originally been black, a Latino, an Indian or anything else, that he stay that way,” he said. The rule that says Peter Parker, Spidey’s alter ego, should always be white doesn’t bother Lee, according to an interview he gave to entertainment site Newsarama.
