@@christianrapper Personally, the Batfamily is the most intriguing part of DC Comics. Their interactions with each other are really interesting. Every time I try to make fan fiction/timeline, I start with defining the origins of the Batfamily so I can set up the Titans and JL roster. Marvel ain't got such interwoven relationships. Spiderman can work in a universe alone, as X-Men can too. You can't have Batman without Superman though. Marvel however should follow DC's example and make a Spider family because it would make a lot of sense.

[@TheOther-Dude]

I completely agree. They could easily move Miles to California or Chicago, that way Miles can get his own unique villains and we won't wonder "Hey, isn't Peter right down the block? Why isn't he helping!?" and vice versa when Peter fights a big bad and Miles is literally just a stones throw away

Benny hit the nail on the head for the issues. I think the easiest fix would have been to keep Parker Industries active to give reason why Peter isn't available to help or do what was done with most of the other Spider-Men and relocate him to a different area. Kaine operated out of Houston during his Scarlett Spider run, Ben was operating out of Vegas during his last Scarlett Spider run and Ock was in San Francisco during his last Superior run. It allowed them to operate without the Peter question and if the other Spider-Men showed up it generally was a mini event

[@ZatchZXman]

Shame that Peter is not allowed to have anything. Ted Kord was allowed to have a company to build gadgets. But Peter? Marvel says, "Fuck'im"

[@GexraldH]

@@ZatchZXman the problem is always gonna be two fold. As many fans that want Peter to succeed there is an equal amount that want him to remain relatable. That part of the reason it was scraped, people hated Peter taking credit for Doc Ock's achievements but also him being rich and being able to delegate the responsibility of Spider-Man.

[@ak-ub1ym]

​​​​​​@@GexraldH So how is it not relatable again? In real-life Americans have been stealing credit by being the managers for the innovations done in the US since WW2 by foreign intellectuals & thinkers to this current day cause they use resources from there and from there US is benefited by patents and trademarks for work they haven't done on it. US education is and always was good at creating factory workers since the first industrial revolution and US labor laws are implemented on paper by copying them from the eastern Asian countries not even executed so how is this not relatable cause they dont know who is incharge of innovation? Look at apple or sony for that ex getting stagnant in innovation after american ceo took over. The space program in US was spear headed by German & Russian scientists who had immigrated to states after WW2 so what has the US contributed to the world other than mass manufacture method of guns which Chinese had done first and Germans did the first auto rifle along with their automobile achievements. US was put on the map by these intellectuals for something other than guns post WW2 but US's main source of earning has always been from their military contracts and weapon sales in conflicts in ME warzones that is why they spend more on military than any other country cause that is the one which gives em the most returns .

[@immanuel7925]

The problem is that Miles IS SPIDER-MAN and is the protege to SPIDER-MAN. I mean, them being in the same city goes for many characters. But in this case it doesn't make sense that the Spider-Men would not on occasion meet or know about each others big stories and events. More importantly it makes them WAYY too similar. Miles being in the EXACT SAME New York as Peter makes the character feel like he's just doing Peter's stuff again. The ultimate universe was VERY different from the main universe. Dhield was much more different, the tone was different, the way NY looked was fairly different. The universe also had completely different characters and organizations. So even if they were in the same city, they were by no means in the same location. Additionally Miles had very different experiences as Spider-Man in the Ultimste comics. Were these ultimate comics good? No, they were mediocre at best in terms of writing. However, they still had a clear difference between Miles and Peter.

[@christianrapper]

@@immanuel7925 have you read any spidermman comics? They interact a lot. Peter is a grown man with his own problems. Miles has his own parents. They aren’t going to meet everyday. Benny’s rant really doesn’t make any sense.

@@christianrapper yeah but if your protege is gone for like, idk, a month wouldn't you be concerned??? Additionally the fact that Peter barely learns about the Asseessor is crazy. And yeah, if Miles fights guys near Queens, you're sure Peter IS NOT going to help? It doesn't make sense for Peter, the guy willing to give up everything to save lives, would not go in and help Miles out once in a while. Heck they could have had a story about this where Miles wants to be more independent. Miles could tell peter he doesn't need his help and all. And Peter could be like, okay cool. But Peter NOT checking in on Miles is wild. He's your protege. He's running around with your name and title. Wouldn't peter be a bit more involved?

[@christianrapper]

@@immanuel7925 you’re trying to ascribe real world logic to a world where two teenagers got bit by radioactive spiders and got nebulous mystical spider powers. Also, Marvel has a sliding time scale. We don’t even know if he actually was gone a month in world. If we’re going for realism then Miles should have been on a milk carton because he was missing for a month. Miles is his own character. He interacts with Peter enough. Complaining about Peter not showing up is like complaining about why Peter is broke despite having a. Multi-billion dollar company. The dude had international connections and he should have money saved somewhere. It’s comics. It’s the same reason that Ironman or the Avengers don’t show up in his comics when Peter is fighting villains that could potentially cause catastrophic damage to New York.

[@Raymal100]

The context matters. When Nightwing operates with Batman, he appears like a sidekick. When he's on his own, he is his own hero. Even when Dick became Batman, Bruce was "dead." Miles' context is that Peter died in his universe. There was no sidekick position that he took in between to revert back to. His existence relies on Peter not being there, or else he becomes a sidekick inherently by being younger and under his tutelage.

[@Hadeks_Marow]

@@Raymal100 Spoiler: no sidekick "feels" like a sidekick when they are on their own, that's kinda the whole point. :/ Like, even BUCKY (pre-WSing) wouldn't feel like a side kick if he had his own stand-alone adventure. Aqua lad, Miss Marvel, Kid Flash, Star Girl no sidekick feels like a sidekick when the hero they are attached to isn't involved. Just saying, kinda a mute point is all.

[@Raymal100]

@Hadeks Marow it's less about how they feel, more about the audience. If there is a starting point of sidekick, that is the context of the character even if they take on their mentor's role. That's how we see it. Miles is a replacement for Peter. Hard to replace someone when they're still around.

To be honest, I like Miles Morales in Spider-man Into the Spider-Verse. I never got the chance to read Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales. but then, I started to like him when I learned about the story arcs he was involved like Spider-Men(when he met 616 Peter Parker), Cataclysm(where he's fighting 616 Galactus), and Secret Wars. He had his own Clone Saga which was way better than the Spider-Man Clone Saga with Ben Reilly. right now, Miles Morales is going to fight Carnage in the event, Carnage Reigns. For me, Miles Morales is his own Spider-Man because he's "doing his own thing". He's being himself. This is why I love Miles Morales as Spider-Man, because he stands out from Peter Parker. He's one of my favorite Black Superheroes next to Luke Cage, Falcon, and Black Panther. Let's face it, I want to read Miles Morales from the Ultimate Universe before I get started on his 616 runs.

The issue is that this is a problem for most comics. A majority of heroes are stationed in NewYork, how any crime happens there is a mystery. Generally heroes are condensed to tightly into very popular places, but how much crime are you going to fight in Montana. As the list of heroes expands it’s only going to become more pronounced. Having alternate universes is a good way to pair the amount down and keep them where they make the most sense.

I literally asked for this in the last one. Let's go. Also 10:34 is the perfect pun 😂. It would be fine if they weren't teaming up as much if they stopped acting like Miles is weak. I wasn't aware he was supposed to remember his past which makes it more dumb because he always seems to be scared now when he had mad confidence in the ultimate universe after he started getting used to his powers. I really became aware of the problem when Miles had his birthday and Peter came by, said happy birthday, and then gave him a place to check out for villain activity on HIS BIRTHDAY and then dipped immediately. Miles was not even comfortable putting on the suit cause he was kidnapped and he for some reason doesn't want to tell Peter (but if that's his level of relationship I wouldn't either cause that is so out of character for Peter to get someone else to deal with something especially when they are a teen and especially when it's their birthday). The other thing is they keep copying storylines Peter had for no reason. If Miles is in another universe and had a clone saga I can see that but why does he have to have one in the 616 universe (also they rely on his uncle to much to move the plot cause their relationship should not be the same has Peter and the green goblin).

[@herodarkydark3995]

I think the greatest fall of Miles as a character is how desperate Marvel is trying to push him as "Spiderman" just so they can plasture black spiderman everyone. That worked in the ultimate universe not only because it was a different universe for the actual purpose of being a different universe, but Peter Parker is dead in that universe and actually got a honorable departure to his life and story(not rushed and character assassinated for the sake of pushing someone new) So he's addition was generally a nice replacement, especially since he didn't feel to force into the spiderman role/name. Now, not only is it awkward that he's named spiderman when spiderman is literally right there and alive, which is kinda weird that no one has a issue with Miles basically commiting ID theft with a living hero's name. But now so much of Miles just wrap around going, "Miles is Spiderman! Miles is Spiderman, look he did this Spiderman like thing!" that it makes him addition to the name "spiderman" feel extremely fake. Hell, the PS4 Miles game pissed me off cause they straight up had a civilian go, "See I always liked spiderman but I kinda wished he looked like me" a year after spiderman had to fight 6 super villain bad guys in a short amount of time while curing/saving a entire city from being poison. I repeat, this man witness 1 person over the course of like a week or two, fight SIX high grade Super Powered Villains while ALSO trying to save a city that was wide-spread poisoned. And his thought process was "Damn he saved us all....... Wish he was blacked though" which is more pissing off when you realize Peter had to let Aunt May die and this guy is more concerned about what Peter's skin color is. So yeah, I feel like that's what soured Miles as a character. He should've had a name change and possible costume change when he moved over to the main universe that way he has his own space and name, and can be incorperated to Spiderman projects without being invasive about it.

[@marcusclark1339]

pretty much that on the ps4 paragraph, its all in vain and vanity : cheap validation "i want this looking like me" which won't happen cause no one is ever like you, surface level trait similarities is just looking for vain similarities and it shows in the identity politics that they think that's a good thing, to only care when it looks similar to themselves than of their character traits

[@jamalhartley5863]

I know they try to throw Peter in there every now and then. Honestly at this point the two should just have a book together. Cuz I refuse to believe Miles goes missing that long and Peter doesn't tear the city a new one looking for him. Sometimes they remember, "oh yeah Miles is Peters protege!" The two should be fighting machines and so much can be done with the dynamic. But we're to focused on making Peter miserable and Miles to stand out in a city of full of spider people. Especially since he's sharing villains now and the ones that are his own are a real mixed bag.

[@acer9494]

This is the thing that bugs me the most is that they won't give Miles a new hero name. He needs a new name to grow as his own character. I first thought they would do it when they gave him the new costume, the one where it was basically an oversized hoodie, and him just wearing a ski mask. It brings up this issue of why DC and Marvel are not selling many books, and that is because you have multiple books named Spider-Man or Batman on them, which makes it so confusing for anyone wanting to start reading them. Also, Dc is now having this issue with there now being Batman Bruce Wayne and Batman Tim Fox in the I Am Batman series.

[@Jay9966]

Oh I completely HATE how they keep putting the same names on books because those names sell copies, it is extremely stupid, because instead of getting me interested it gets me all confused as to which I want and I end up getting none.

I’ve grown to really like Miles more through the years and so heavily agree that Miles always works best as his own main hero. He is Spider-Man after all and the only thing I’ve seen really work well with Miles and Peter working together is Insomica’s Spider-Man games where they do team up and help each other a lot. Peter is truely his mentor and gonna actually be able to play as both of them in the next game. ITSV Miles is my favorite Miles to date. He is his own universes Spider-Man and he was able to still have a grown Peter be his mentor but again he’s able to be on his own.

[@kvibing]

I completely disagree! There's so many characters that have this problem that I don't see it as a problem anymore or at least a problem not specific to Miles. New York in general is overcrowded with heroes from Moonknight, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Luke Cage etc. And there's so many stories that essentially fall apart when you question why these heroes aren't communicating with each other or never have regular interactions (outside of the plot). Worse than that it seems like they each carry their own set of Villains with very little overlap. People like Kingpin seem to get around a lot but like you never see the Green Goblin or Doc Ock or Sandman having a one on one with Luke Cage or MoonKnight or Daredevil. Are you telling me they only rob banks in SpiderMans neighborhood? On there other hand whole criminal organizations like the Hand almost NEVER run into Spiderman.

Miles is the inverse of Peter but only superficially Peter is poor, Miles is middle class Peter was an outcast, Miles was relatively popular Peter is an orphan raised by a single parent, Miles has a full family Peter went to public school, Miles goes to private This is what we call "Going WIDE and NOT DEEP". The writers have YET to dive deep into ANY of this to write compelking stories and characters around him so Miles just borrows Peter's villains for the most part. Its so SAD😭. He has no villains written AROUND his character...because he has NO noteworthy CHARACTER traits outside of being a COWARD(which they didnt dive into fully at all, like they constsntly play on Peters selfishness and anger issues) just superficial traits. If I were to ask you what Miles stood for, you'd have no answer, unlike with just about any other well estalbished to even B list Heroes He doesnt even have a well established Archenemy yet and he's been around for 10 PLUS YEARS🤦‍♂️. His most popular villain Prowler...is just an alt universe version of PETER'S PROWLER. I mean COME ON. He had a game and technically a movie...and he just fought versions of PETERS VILLAINS. I say technically because the original draft of the film actually dove deeply into Miles personal story, the finished draft left us with CRUMBS in comparison to shift focus to the Spiderverse aspects...funnily enough they are ALL more interesting that Mikes himself...even Gwen who was just a WHAT IF story😭💀. And in the next spiderverse he is fighting yet ANOTHER Peter villain😐🤦‍♂️ I get that he took up the mantle but Even Batman Beyond had his OWN villains with some loose easter eggs of older ones. Miguel Ohara is a waaaay better character than Miles...because he has an ACTUAL CHARACTER to build original stories on and not just rehash Peter's stories...not to mention all his powers outside base phsyical enhancements work different to Peter's. Miles on the other hand just has two UNDRdeveloped plot devices tacked on to Peters powers🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ This wouldnt be so bad if Marvel actually PROPERLY ESTABLISHED the Spider Family but they have proven time and time again that recently they have NO IDEA what to do with ANY of these spider characters. Cough Chasm Cough. Thank god for the spiderverse movies cause the comics are TRASH🤦‍♂️ Miles has Potential and A LOT of it...but he will NEVER achieve it if 1. Keeps carrying the name of a character with 60 years of LEGACY in a universe where that character is still alive 2. Has NO DEFINED origin story since unlike Peter In EVERY adaptation for Miles they just keep switching the location of his Spider Bite and his motivations. Hence why in the span of 2 years we get 2 completely different adaptations for him Spiderverse that is closer to the comics and The game...where they legit just made him...Peter, he's smart as Peter AND enthusiastic about being Spider-Man when its supposed to be the opposite💀.

And there's also the fact that with merchandise, Miles is called Miles Morales and Peter is called Spider-Man. Miles isn't even called Ultimate Spider-Man on the merch. The only time I've actually seen Miles' costume called Ultimate Spider-Man is on Spider-Man: Edge of Time. And that's because he wasn't introduced yet or something. And the fact that when you say Spider-Man, you'll immediately think "red and blue, black around the eyes, Queens, great power responsibility, Peter", you don't think "black and red, Brooklyn, great expectations, Miles". You only think that when you say Miles Morales. Miles is rarely ever called Spider-Man on anything except his own universe. The Ultimate universe.

The Ultimate Universe and the way it co-existed with the 616-continuity is EXACTLY what Disney should have done with the Star Wars continuity. Instead of throwing away 40 years of magnificent Expanded Universe products to create a new canon for their sequel trilogy, they should have just allowed the Old continuity to exist along the new one, giving the new EU products the "Legends" brand on their cover in order to easily differenciate them from the Disney Canon.

@John Thai Nightwing took over as a substitute, not as a permanent or alongside batman. Kate Bishop doesn't feel like she's taking over the mantle but just being Hawkeye (2).

Let's let Miles be the young teenager trying to figure life out. I loved the "Renew your vows" books for this reason. Also, Miles really does need a new name. The "Kid Arachnid" (Which was the actual name) didn't work. In the Disney Jr cartoon, they acknowledge 2 "Spider-Man" would be problematic so they renamed him "Spin" which is even worse. I dunno. He needs his own identity. (But yes, now he really is one in a million Spider-men)

Is kinda funny how Marvel and DC had the same problem with two heroes that can cross the multiverse have two persons wearing the same name. Peter and Miles as Spider-Man and Barry and Wally as The Flash. And what’s weird is that there was a comic from DC (can’t remember the name now) that had Barry tell Wally “You’re not my sidekick. No matter what the others say. You’re a Flash. If anything, you’re my partner” and that made me smile. Cause they made both Barry and Wally both be the Flash, while not giving less value to either of them. Marvel could’ve done something like that for Miles and Peter now that they’re on the same universe. True, having them on the same city is the big issue. So make Miles move somewhere else and make him the Spider-man of that city feels right. Heck, on the Miles Morales game they had to take Peter away from New York so Miles can have his personal challenges. That trip with MJ was just a plot key to take Peter away, and just on this new game we’ll have them actually team up like they should do normally.

[@zhisangchen4562]

The difference though is Wally is the definitive Flash for many. Speed Force, eat a lot for energy and lighthearted personality. These Flash quality are all developed under Wally.

I was around the internet and on Twitter, and I can tell you almost nobody liked him as a replacement for Peter in the ultimate universe and even called him a cheap knock. Even the creator admitted that Miles's purpose was to be a diverse replacement. The character wasn't ruined; he was dead on arrival. Does that mean he doesn't have potential; Hell no!

His comics sold very well, and his stories were incredibly personal with alot of overarching development throughout arcs. Coming to the mainline universe, made writers force to not make him grow at all, else he would look stronger and better than Peter...because that would be so bad.. Else he is in purpetual sidekicky limbo. He also isnt a blackwashed peter. His entire story, friendshps, background and relationships are different from peter.

@@brendangatenby8066 well I .ight be wrong but I have never heard the same arguments and complaints a out spider Gwen, scarlet spider, spider woman, spider girl, silk, ect it is mostly about him being black and I'm sure their is a lot of feelings with it mostly being about the love people have for Peter Parker, I don't remember people being upset over Ms Marvel when she became captain marvel it with wolverine being a woman and wearing the same costume as Logan. I don't think it would've been as big of a deal if he had been white. But a lot of the unique qualities he has wouldn't be the same if he wasn't a black Latino from Brooklyn! Heck in The MCU no one really cared MJ wasnt white in the movie

​​@@dustinsturm5506 every spider person you mentioned has had the same thing said about them. Miles is just the loudest because he's being pushed on people THE MOST

I don't want nobody bashing me but miles is not my favorite Spider-Man.

That’s fine bro I love Peter myself miles is a cheap racial creation that’s being force fed to us he’s just like Peter but black with better powers there’s no nuance
