“ | Okay, let's do this one last time, yeah? For real this time. This is it. My name is Miles Morales. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, And for, like, two days, I've been the one and only Spider-Man. I think you know the rest. I finished my essay, saved a bunch of people, got hit by a drone, I did this with my dad, met my roommate finally, slapped a sticker where my dad's never gonna find it, and when I feel alone, like no one understands what I'm going through, I remember my friends who get it. I never thought I'd be able to do any of this stuff, but I can. Anyone can wear the mask. You could wear the mask. If you didn't know that before, I hope you do now. 'Cause I'm Spider-Man, and I'm not the only one. Not by a long shot. | „ |

Miles Morales, also known as Spider-Man, is the main protagonist of Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Verse film trilogy.
He is a young high school student who was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained the powers of a spider. After meeting the actual Spider-Man, as well as alternate versions of the hero, he assists them in taking down Kingpin while accepting the mantle as the new Spider-Man of his universe.
He is voiced by Shameik Moore.
What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse[]
- While he refused to help Spider-man fight off the Kingpin's henchmen, this is understandable, as Miles was very inexperienced with his powers.
- When Spider-Man gives him the task to deactivate the Super-Collider with the override key, Miles accepts the task.
- After the death of Spider-Man, he begins training in order to master his powers and finish the mission given to him by Spider-Man.
- He goes to the original Spider-Man's grave to honor him and apologize for accidentally breaking the override key.
- When meeting the alternate Spider-Man, Miles manages to convince Peter to assist him in shutting down the Super-Collider.
- He breaks into Alchemax to help Peter in getting a new override key, openly expressing his refusal in allowing another Spider-Man to die again while doing nothing about it. Peter expresses gratitude for Miles' supportive nature.
- He offers his condolences to Gwen for the loss of her friend, then offers a hand of support to Gwen if she wants it.
- Miles refuses to allow any of the other Spider-Men to stay trapped in his dimension, declaring he's going to get all of them back home.
- Despite learning his uncle is The Prowler, he is horrified when Kingpin shoots him, attempting to save his life and even placing blame on himself for letting his uncle get shot.
- He holds his uncle's hand as he dies, mourning his loss and forgiving him for hunting Miles down and nearly killing him.
- He refuses to let Peter stay behind, determined to stop Kingpin's plans.
- After hearing words of encouragement from his father, he fully masters his powers and goes to assist the others in deactivating the Super-Collider.
- He helps all the other versions of Spider-Man get back to their home dimensions.
- Before she leaves, Miles shakes Gwen's hand, getting her to open up and accept his friendship.
- He stops Peter from sacrificing himself to hold off Kingpin, choosing to fight Kingpin alone instead and getting Peter to return to his home dimension,
- It is implied he tries to reason with Kingpin, asking him "Is this what you want man?" upon encountering alternate versions of Kingpin's family.
- He destroys the Super-Collider, saving New York City and the multiverse from being destroyed.
- He defeats Kingpin, turning him over to the authorities instead of killing him.
- After the fight, despite not revealing his true identity, he hugs his father in gratitude for his previous words of love and support.
- He accepts the role of Spider-Man, acting as the city's new hero and saving many people as the new Spider-Man.
- His influence on Peter manages to convince him to reconcile with Mary Jane and get back together.
- While he initially had a strained relationship with his father, there was never any open hostility or hatred between them, only mild disagreements with how Miles wanted to live his new life. However, by the end of the film, Miles reconciles with his father and begins opening up to him, improving their relationship.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse[]
- Kept protecting Brooklyn from threats over the next year and a half.
- While he was dismissive of Spot and initially didn't treat him with respect during their first encounter, even at one point referring to him as "Villain of the Week", he wasn't trying to be rude as he was only trying to lighten the mood with humor. Furthermore, after seeing how insulted Spot was by his commentary, Miles attempts to communicate with him and show him more decency.
- Saved his dad while fighting Spot.
- Tried to deliver cakes to his dad’s party. During the process, he made multiple pit stops along the way in order to fight villains and thugs.
- Saved a child and the police captain in Pavitr Prabhakar's universe. While he did risk the interruption of a 'canon event' in doing so, it's unfair to blame him for it since he had no idea what would happen, cause all he was trying to do is save lives and stop The Spot from causing trouble in the multiverse.
- When meeting Miguel, he tried bringing him food as means of making a good first impression.
- Despite objecting to the Spider-Society's methods of preserving canon events across the multiverse and being rather harsh to his friends when realizing that they were aware of how it would result in his father's death, even outright saying Gwen shouldn't have come to visit him, it's justified since they were all more or less telling a teenager to sit back and let his loved ones die for the sake of preserving the status quo.
- Did whatever it took to escape the Spider-Society and return to home in order to save his father.
- While escaping, the trapped prisoners cheered for him and boo at Miguel and the Spider Society, further emphasizing how Miles is going against the Spider-Society to save his father.
- After presumably arriving home, he apologizes to his mother for their past arguments and attempts to be honest with her by revealing his status as Spider-Man, only for it to backfire when it's revealed he was transported to Earth-42, the home of the radioactive spider that bit him, where there's no Spider-Man.
- After being knocked out and captured by Earth-42's Aaron and the Prowler (his villainous counterpart who never got bitten because The Spot transported the radioactive spider from Earth-42 to Earth-1610B), he attempted to reason them out to change into good guys.
- While it seemed like the chained-up Miles was ready to attack the Prowler, it would only be in self-defense, as well as it being a part of his escape plan, as the Prowler, after refusing to let him go back home and save his father, had threatened him with implied torture and/or even death.
Trivia[]
