Have not you waited enough time to see Ricochet, Dusk, Hornet, and also Prodigy once again?
If you're a Spider-Man fan of a certain age, you probably remember the Slingers - a team of teenager heroes that spun off from Spider-Man in the late '90s. And for those followers that fondly bear in mind the oddball team, you're in good luck, as the Slingers are returning this February in Impressive Spider-Man # 88. BEY (as we've claimed in the past, that's. BEY as in 'Beyond', like the existing 'Spider-Man Beyond' era).
The Slingers originally began as 4 separate alternate superhero identities used by Peter Parker at once when it was too dangerous to be seen as Spider-Man due to the fact that he was charged of murder.
Tackling a different identity for every of his four continuous Spider-Man titles of that age, Peter started operating in different titles as Hornet, Ricochet, Sunset, and Prodigy - four new identities that keyed in on different elements of Peter's powers, as well as which also carried their very own tools and also capacities.
After Peter returned to being Spider-Man, the 4 outfits were acquired by the odd Golden Age hero referred to as the Black Marvel, who gave them to four rookie heroes he aimed to turn into his own team, rotating them off right into their very own Slingers title.
Remarkably enough, the Slingers' time as a team concerned an end when they needed to combat Mephisto for the fate of Black Marvel's heart - a particularly ominous link provided Mephisto's meddling in Peter's life.

Now, a brand-new Slingers team will certainly form under the guidance of the Beyond company, debuting in Outstanding Spider-Man 88. BEY from author Geoffrey Thorne and also musicians Jan Bazaldua and Jim Towe, with covers from Bazaldua as well as Nick Bradshaw.
What's even more, a minimum of among the brand-new Slingers has a secret identity that must be familiar to fans, as the new Hornet is none apart from Hobie Brown, the initial Prowler.
Hobie's had a harsh few years, being killed, cloned, and afterwards reanimated in Remarkable Spider-Man: The Duplicate Conspiracy theory, and also having his mantle of the mainstream Marvel Burglar completely taken over by Miles Morales' uncle Aaron Davis, the Burglar of the Ultimate Universe. Hopefully, a new lease on life as Hornet is exactly the turn-around Peter Parker's old friend and ally requires to return to his old adventuring self.
Marvel gives no indication of who the identities of the various other Slingers could be.
