What Earth-928 is
Peter David and Rick Leonardi launched the Marvel 2099 imprint with Spider-Man 2099 #1 in November 1992. The framing was Marvel’s cyberpunk-future bet: a hundred-years-out timeline where corporate megacorps had replaced governments, where old hero names had been adopted by new generations, and where the visual register leaned hard into early-1990s cyberpunk aesthetics. The line included Spider-Man 2099, Doom 2099 (John Francis Moore and Pat Broderick), X-Men 2099, Punisher 2099, Ravage 2099, and Hulk 2099 across the 1992-1996 publishing window.
The original 2099 imprint ran through 1996 before commercial pressures ended the line. Spider-Man 2099 has had multiple subsequent revivals; the 2014 Peter David and Will Sliney relaunch brought Miguel O’Hara back to mainstream Marvel publishing as a recurring Earth-616 visitor as well as a 2099-setting character. The Spider-Verse animated films (2018, 2023) have featured Miguel O’Hara prominently, increasing Earth-928’s mainstream cultural recognition.
