Marvel Comics recently struck sales gold with the idea of Spider-Man having a long lost, forgotten sidekick known as Spider-Boy - and now they're taking that idea much, much further this October with a huge wave of variant covers featuring more supposed long-lost sidekicks of other Marvel heroes.
Though the characters are just for variant covers at the moment, other characters such as Gwenpool have made the jump from variant cover design to actual character in the Marvel Universe before - and Marvel is teasing that that could happen again with any or all of these new teen heroes.
