The introduction of Spider-Boy has been one of Marvel's most intriguing developments this year. Peter Parker's supposedly long-lost sidekick, created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, has proved so popular that, a couple of weeks back, Marvel unveiled a whole host of variant covers featuring loads of other potential "lost" sidekicks dubbed "New Champions". You can see those covers right here.
Now they've added four more, including a hilarious Teen Deadpool cover for Deadpool: Badder Blood #5 by Nick Bradshaw. The variant sees a knife-wielding, skateboard-riding Teen Deadpool ride into action while a proud Pops watches on.
You can check out the other new hero designs in the gallery below.
The other three covers, from left to right are Scarlet Witch #9 by Jen Bartel, Sensational She-Hulk #1 by Mirka Andolfo, and Blade #4 by Mateus Manhanini.
The New Champions variant covers are all published this October. Marvel says of the new initiative, "Like Spider-Boy, these new characters inspire a secret history of countless adventures where they've fought side-by-side with their superhero mentors! Featuring fresh, bold designs by all-star talent, these stunning new covers may just be a glimpse into the future of the Marvel Universe!"
It's worth reiterating that, for now, these characters are simply cool variant covers with no actual stories planned that we know of. However, given that last line from Marvel and the fact that Spider-Boy has been a huge success, we wouldn't be at all surprised if some of these became actual heroes somewhere down the line.
Check out the full list of New Champions variant covers and when you can buy them in the list below.

Insomniac has been dropping trailers and teases of what to expect in the game, but they’ve also had fun posting gifs and poking fun at themselves in the process. For example, let’s look at a tweet they posted today that’s rather funny.

Greetings, Polygon readers!
Insomniac's first two Spider-Man titles were chock full of suits, but two games aren't enough to unpack Spider-Man's extensive 60-year history, so there is plenty left for Insomniac to use. That's what fans have been discussing on the subreddit.

Plenty of things in life don’t surprise people, as we can often predict things before they happen. In the video game space, we can often tell that a video game will do well or be received well enough due to the hype around the title or the recent history of the developer. Case in point, the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games is likely to not only be a great title but a Game of the Year contender and sell many millions on PS5. Another prediction that was easy to make was the success of the custom PS5 for the title.
Could we finally get some justice for The Amazing Spider-Man 3? Andrew Garfield has shared some new insight into his version of Peter Parker post-Spider-Man: No Way Home, and it seems like he thinks there is plenty more story to tell.

The event may not have been the “all-consuming event” it had been in the past, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t anything to do at the show. Case in point, many comic panels and vendors saw their business boom because fans were willing to check out their tables and content versus simply going to the “big Hollywood stuff.” Another thing that happened was that video game panels took the show by storm, including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 having a panel for fans to enjoy.
