Miles Morales took over the Spider-Man legacy when Ultimate Spider-Man died… but what if he took over another hero, like Wolverine? The current series What If… Miles Morales is asking that question, showing one Marvel alternate universe in each issue; and now in April's What If… Miles Morales #2, we'll be meeting the Miles who becomes Wolverine.
According to Marvel's description of What If… Miles Morales #2, this rendition of Miles-as-Wolverine won't have the Ultimate Spider-Man be re-envisioned to be born in the 1800s like Wolverine - instead, Miles' childhood remains the same but he'll be ripped from that ans transformed in this unexplored alternate universe's version of Wolverine. We can imagine some homages to the 'Weapon X' storyline in this easily.
Another interesting facet to this is that this one-off story will be written by 12 Years a Slave's John Ridley, who's also writing Marvel's Black Panther series and DC's I Am Batman. Joining him will be artist Farid Karami, who will be making his Marvel debut with this issue after his originally intended debut, Luke Cage: City of Fire, was delayed indefinitely.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli has drawn the main cover for What If… Miles Morales #2, and is scheduled to be joined with variant covers by Paco Medina, Carlos Pacheco, and Declan Shalvey.
The five-issue What If… Miles Morales series debuts March 2 with an issue showing Miles Morales as Captain America, and after this Wolverine issue on April 6, we can look forward to three more alternate realities where Miles Morales becomes a different Marvel hero. The possibilities are striking.
