Marvel Comics revealed last week that it is introducing a variant of its iconic Spider-Man character who is gay, with “fearlessly femme” detailing.

One of Marvel’s Spider-Man writers posted a tweet on Thursday revealing “Web-Weaver” and the character’s costume designs. He wrote, “Something I realized immediately when conceiving Web-Weaver is that he can’t — and shouldn’t — represent ALL gay men. No single character can. His fearlessly femme identity is central to who he is, but it’s not the STORY— which you can experience for yourself in September!” he added.”

After some predictably harsh responses, Foxe later protected his Twitter account so that only his followers could see his posts.

The comics giant has scheduled the new character’s first appearance in Edge of the Spider-Verse #5 to be released in September. The new character’s secret identity is a “not-so-mild mannered fashion designer.” Marvel said that each issue of the special series will include three stories about variants of Spider-Man, and will end the story arc in a “blaze of glory.”
