Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Miles Morales is the newest Spider-Man in Marvel’s New York. Following the untimely death of his father, Miles was introduced to Peter Parker, who quickly became his friend and mentor. When Miles was bitten by his own genetically modified Oscorp spider, he developed unique powers — and after months of convincing — Peter agreed to train him.

Miles begins the next chapter of his life in East Harlem, where he’s faced with a torrent of new responsibilities: maintaining friendships, having a politician in the family, and balancing life at home and life as a hero. As a looming power struggle threatens to destroy the city, he’ll need take up the Spider-Man mantle and make it his own, or risk losing everything.

Rio Morales is Miles’ mother and a breakout candidate in the upcoming New York City Council race. After the death of Miles’ father, Rio and Miles moved back to East Harlem, where she was born and raised.

She’s a fierce advocate for her beloved community and is always looking out for her friends and neighbors. As Roxxon Energy Corporation begins construction of their sprawling new East Harlem facility, Rio has emerged as a community leader, going toe-to-toe with the corporate giant as she fights to preserve her vibrant home.

Peter Parker is the original Spider-Man and Super Hero mentor of Miles Morales. After the traumatic death of Miles’ father, Peter set Miles up with a volunteer job at F.E.A.S.T — inadvertently triggering a chain of events that would leave Miles with superhuman powers comparable to his own.

In the days since, Peter has reluctantly agreed to take Miles under his wing as his web-slinging protégé—helping the young hero learn to control his powers and imparting whatever life advice he can. As Peter joins MJ abroad on an assignment to cover the Symkarian Peace Talks for the Daily Bugle, he’ll entrust Miles to serve as the city’s sole Spider-Man until he returns.
