Encyclopedic overview

Spider-Man (Miles Gonzalo Morales /məˈrælɛs/) is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a modern reimagining of the popular character Spider-Man, created in 2011 by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli, along with input by Marvel's then-editor-in-chief Axel Alonso. Miles Morales debuted in Ultimate Comics: Fallout #4.

The Black American teenage son of a Black American father and an Afro-Puerto Rican mother, Miles Morales is the second Spider-Man to appear in Ultimate Marvel, an imprint with a separate continuity from the mainstream Marvel Universe called the Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610). He first appeared in Ultimate Fallout #4 (August 2011), following the death of the Ultimate Peter Parker. The character was initially introduced in the alternate Earth-1610 (portrayed in the Ultimate Universe comics), in which he was bitten by a spider genetically engineered at the behest of Norman Osborn in an attempt to duplicate the abilities of Spider-Man. He was featured in the Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man comic book series. After Marvel ended the Ultimate imprint in 2015, Miles was transported to the main Marvel Universe (Earth-616), beginning with stories under the All-New, All-Different Marvel branding that debuted that same year.
