"Whizzer."

I forget how exactly Peter Parker climbs walls now, if it's weird little hairs or static electricity or.something else. But Spider-Man 2099 had little claws from the get-go: they are sharp as hell and pretty effective weapons, even if Miguel is understandably squeamish about slicing anyone up like that. That said, I can't remember offhand what, if anything, the arm spikes do or are for. 

We keep seeing the Elders refer to each other by name rather than title, which is a weird callback to old Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe issues. I don't think Ego had another name, but he wouldn't have been part of another race at some point like the other guys. I thought the Champion's real name was 'Tycho' and not Tryco Slatterus, though. The Collector, Taneleer Tivan, does have a daughter, Carina: I was thinking of her since she's an NPC in Contest of Champions, but she was Korvac's girlfriend back in the day!

Honestly, I’d have figured Whizzer had that one. Huh.

Ego casually eating kids is forever canon. Just saying.
