In an alternate universe (MC2 reality) where Mayday Parker (a.k.a Spider-Girl) comes from, Speedball used to be in Avengers which used to consist of teenage superheroes who had grown up. Some time later, Speedball left the group and became a solo hero pursuing his career as a crimefighter on his own. 

Note that this alternate reality was written before the trend of more teenage superheroes like Young Avengers, Avengers Academy, the X-Students, Champions or Kamala Khan started popping up in comics.

I respect that there is a need and desire for greater diversity within superherodom and that includes the Spider-Man franchise.

 However my attitude to this is that we should try to avoid creating yet more derivative spider characters to dilute the brand since we’ve already got so many already.

 BUT utilizing the ones we have is a different matter.

 Say we want to have a queer spider themed character. And say we don’t want that character to be female because there are a lot less queer male characters than queer female character knocking about.

 So here’s my suggestion.

 Reintroduce Ollie Osnick and establish that he’s gay.

For those who don’t know Ollie Osnick is a minor character from Spider-Man’s history. He began life as an overweight teenage Doc Ock fanboy even inventing his own homemade versions of Doc Ock’s tentacles. When he got in trouble for trying to rob a toy store Spidey caught up to him and lectured him.

Inspired by Spidey he then abandoned his love for Doc Ock and became Spider-Kid instead, altering his home made Doc Ock tentacles into spider legs. He was understandably played for laughs, exemplified when he joined Toad of the Brotherhood and the obscure Daredevil villain Leapfrog in a team called the Misfits.

Before his high school graduation he’d lost a lot of weight and gone grim and gritty, making a tech suit to go along with his legs and adopting the name Steel Spider.

He was last seen during Civil War 2006 where Venom literally bit off his arm.

Here’s why I think Ollie as a character could work.

 As we know there is a certain amount of...contention shall we say that arises when an established character believed to be straight is written as queer. See Iceman for a recent example.

 The advantage of going in this direction with Ollie is that he’s not that well known, he hasn’t had many appearances and his love life isn’t something that many people are particularly emotionally invested in.

 Yes he did have a girlfriend he was in a pretty serious relationship with. Her name was Jane Lane and before she graduated high school she was disabled by a stray gunshot. This actually inspired Ollie to change his identity and become Steel Spider. He then helped her recover trying to raise funds to send her to a spinal specialist. She only appeared in like three stories ever (two of which were back ups) and whilst their relationship was kind of cute it’s not something so vital to this very obscure minor character that it’d be that big of a deal to take Ollie in a direction where they would no longer be in a relationship. It especially makes sense when you consider they were just high school sweethearts.

 Jane Lane though as both a disabled character and someone who inspired Ollie into heroism could still be an important person in Ollie’s life even if they aren’t romantically involved anymore. I’d see her as his best friend if nothing else, and being disabled she could provide a little bit more representation.

Ollie as a character unto himself offers something a little bit different from the other spider heroes. Firstly he has no powers at all, being purely tech based and not even to Stark levels of technology. He’s something of a homemade superhero which touches upon the down to earth normalacy inherent to Spider-Man’s world.

 He was also someone inspired into heroism by Spidey like other characters (Miles Morales, Toxin, etc) but as a fun quirk he began as an admirer of a villain. He actually shares some traits of both characters beginning as overweight and somewhat arrogant but also at heart a good natured nerdy kid like Peter Parker. In fact ASM #263 outright tries to draw parallels between him and teenage Peter Parker, though there are important differences. He’s actually a lot more like a real person trying to be a superhero might be like, right down to a crappy store purchased superhero costume.

 In regards to his arm you could go one of two ways. Either give him a robotic arm to showcase his tech genius, or if you want to be really ambitious commit to him living as an amputee but being a superhero inspite of that. And not a hero the way Flash Thompson was as Venom wherein he was an amputee but his powers made it so that he basically wasn’t. Ollie’s robotic tentacles mean he can compensate for just having one arm but they don’t just solve the problem outright.

 Off the top of my head I have this idea of him relating more to Jane now that they are both disabled in their own ways and the male medical professional helping him cope with and adjust to his new life is someone he starts to develop unexpected feelings for. This causes friction between him and Jane and they break up but eventually decide to remain friends and support one another as friends nevertheless. Coping with his disability and recognizing Jane’s own struggles with being disabled it inspires Ollie to not give up his heroic endeavours and he tweaks his tech (maybe Jane helps him do that) and continues to fight crime as Steel Spider.

 Which if you also decide to make him overweight (because, like Doc Ock, his powers don’t really require him to be all that athletic) would make him an overweight, disabled, queer superhero.

 Which I admit...might be overdoing it.

 Other ideas I have off the top of my head include somehow working the Iron Spider outfit into Ollie’s story. It’s too obvious of an idea NOT to do. Obviously he’d have to confront Doc Ock at some point, or maybe Carolyn Trainer, someone else inspired by Doc Ock. Maybe have him fight the spider slayers as he’s the tech based Spider-Man and Spider Slayers are all about tech.

 Now could he support a series on his own? I doubt that because honestly as unique as he is he still doesn’t have that much of a hook as a hero the way ‘Spider-Man of the future’ does in 2099’s case or ‘Spider-Man’s dead girlfriend but as a spider super hero herself’ does in Spider-Gwen’s case.

 BUT here is my suggestion. Form a team of characters comprised of these lesser known Spider-Man characters. Rocket Racer, Prowler, Phil Urich as Goblin Knight, the Puma, maybe even Black Cat and Pat Mulligan/Toxin. As an idea why not have them be under the employ of Silver Sable herself, sort of a US based division of her Wild Pack. Whilst individually these characters might flounder as a team there are character dynamics you could explore and they stand a better chance of surviving the market place.

  Regardless my point is as a character Ollie is an established Spider-Man derivative character, who already is fairly unique among other spider derivatives and as a character unto himself has some potential. So why not bring him back, give him a push and whilst you are at it yeah, reveal that he’s queer at the same time.

 By doing this you don’t further dilute the Spider-Man brand by creating an AU Peter Parker or another person with Spider-Man’s powers but both happen to be queer. Ollie if nothing else could be the queer spider hero but with so much more to him beyond that.
