Spider‑Man Calls Miracleman His Biggest Nemesis

In the latest issue of Avengers (Volume 10), Peter Parker publicly declares that he cannot stand David Colton, the new Miracleman, after a clash at Stark Tower. The confrontation began when Colton, a former Captain America turned global super‑pariah, destroyed military weapons in an attempt to “improve the world,” provoking Spider‑Man’s ire. Spider‑Man accuses Colton of causing the Thunderbolt Ross incident that killed thousands in Russia and of contributing to the public’s distrust of heroes following the Avengers: Armageddon saga. Despite being teammates on the newly formed Avengers lineup - alongside Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and others - Spider‑Man’s hostility forces the team to confront internal friction. Colton’s past actions, including throwing nuclear weapons into the sun, have made him a controversial figure, and Spider‑Man’s outburst underscores the tension between the heroes. The conflict highlights the broader theme of superhero accountability in the current Marvel Universe, as the team prepares to face Mephisto and other threats. The story sets up future battles and explores how Spider‑Man will navigate working with a hero he despises.
