Originally created in the Ultimate Universe, this version of Spider-Man is a 16 year old kid named Miles Morales from Brooklyn who takes on the Spider-Man identity after Peter Parker's death. Miles discovers spider powers of his own after he was bitten by a spider 11 months before Peter's death, and uses these powers to be the best superhero he can be. Currently, Miles lives in the main Marvel Universe and is a member of the Champions.
Miles is a social and assertive teenager who is very popular in his neighborhood of Brooklyn. He is a promising kid with massive potential, who just wants to be normal, but often does amazing things while trying to avoid the spotlight. This is evident by him trying to get himself kicked out of his exclusive boarding school by intentionally failing a science test. He is a nice and friendly kid, as he enjoys making his friends and family laugh. He also has a habit of making jokes whenever he is in an awkward situation. Miles has a big interest in hip hop and graffiti cultures, constantly stamping his art around Brooklyn as self-expression and an expression of love for his city.
While initially hesitant to become a superhero like Spider-Man, Miles accepted his role as New York's protector after witnessing Peter Parker's death. However, despite already intrinsically knowing his responsibility, Miles found himself struggling to jump into action and controlling his abilities due to fear. It wasn't until his uncle's death and his father's words that he was finally able to take a leap of faith and gain the confidence and mastery of his powers. After defeating the Kingpin and saving the multiverse along with New York City, Miles embraced his role as the new Spider-Man.

== Trivia ==
* Miles' creation was inspired by the election of Barack Obama as the first African-American president of America in 2008. His creation was also inspired by Community actor Donald Glover. In May 2010, a fan suggested Glover for the role of Peter Parker in the then-upcoming reboot film The Amazing Spider-Man, encouraging his supporters to retweet the hashtag "#donald4spiderman". The campaign originally started to see how far social networking could carry a message, quickly gained a large following and even received support from Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee. As a reference to the campaign, Glover appeared dressed in Spider-Man pajamas in a season premiere of Community. Brian Michael Bendis saw Glover in the Spider-Man pajamas and liked the prospect of an African-American Spider-Man, which led to Miles' creation.Because of Glover's role in Miles' creation, he went on to voice Miles during the character's initial appearance in Ultimate Spider-Man and portray Miles' uncle Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
* The number 42 appears two times in Miles' origin, as the lottery number that earns him the Brooklyn Visions Academy scholarship and as the number in the back of the spider that bites him. When asked whether this was a reference to baseball player Jackie Robinson, the first black MLB player in the modern era whose uniform number was 42, Brian Michael Bendis expressed that it was a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (in which the number 42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything"), but suggested it could double as a reference to Jackson.
* When Miles' powers first manifested, he feared that he was a mutant.
* The effect of Miles' venom strike manifests itself a few seconds after it is implemented, and has been described by Brian Michael Bendis as comparable to the feeling of being kicked in the testicles.
* The Peter Parker of Earth-616 finds Miles' black and red costume cooler than his own.
* Miles was thirteen years old when he became Spider-Man, and was almost seventeen by the time he was displaced to the Marvel Universe.
* He had crushes on Stature, Marvel Girl, and Ms. Marvel.
* The Earth-616 version of Miles Morales was originally going to appear in Spider-Men, and he would've become a supporting character in Amazing Spider-Man.
* Miles has stated that his best subject is math.
* Miles considered the aliases Knight Spider, Kid Arachnid, and Web-Man.
* He has written fanfiction about himself.
* Miles is a member of the Forums social media network.
* Within the Marvel Universe, Miles is known as the "Second Spider" in Arabic media.
* Miles has an Instagram and follows Kenneth Kingston. As he brought up his account to Kenneth in his Spider-Man guise, it is unknown if the page is his personal account or a Spider-Man page.
** On The 'Gram, there is a hastag relating to Spider-Man, #SpideyJunior.
* He also has a Roxx On! account.
* Prior to Absolute Carnage, Donny Cates had planned to have Miles succeed Eddie Brock as the next host of the Venom symbiote.
