My First Impression of Miles Morales: A Spidey Turnaround

To be honest, I had a good feeling about Miles Morales as Spider-Man. I didn't know why at the time, but innately I felt that the Ultimate Spider-Man's replacement would do wonders. However, I wasn't overly focused on him during his first appearance, as I was too busy grieving the loss of his predecessor.

One thing that struck me was his powers. Miles can turn invisible and zap people with his hands, which seemed almost too powerful to be believable. I couldn’t help but feel amazed at the prospect of him potentially beating traditional Spider-Man in a fight. Moreover, his costume was incredibly interesting, as his symbiotic costume was the finestspider-man costume I had ever seen.

For a while, I didn't delve much into Miles’ character. It took me a year to fully understand his collaboration with the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and join the mainstream Marvel canon. Between the Spider-Verse and Secret Wars, Miles redefined the Marvel universe in a truly ultimate manner. Having joined the mainstream universe, he became one of two survivors from the Ultimate universe, making a massive impact on the narrative.

Three years after his debut, Miles had transformed from an Ultimate Spider-Man to an awesome protagonist in both a major film and video game. This shift was nothing short of a game changer for me. In less than a decade, he had ascended from the annals of the Ultimate universe to become a mainstay in both comic and video game culture. Not only did he become the poster boy for the Spider-Verse, but he also inspired a spider-themed fashion trend that swept across the world.

His iconic costume, donned with a hoodie, quickly overtook Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in popularity. The change was so immediate that it took me just a year to recognize and embrace his shift in reputation. In comparison to Peter Parker's journey, Miles' ascent was even faster. My initial good feelings towards playing Miles Morales proved to be accurate, and I eagerly look forward to seeing him in future MCU projects. Go Miles!

Conclusion

Miles Morales stands as a testament to the evolving character of Spider-Man. From his inception to becoming one of the best characters in the Marvel universe, his journey is nothing short of remarkable. Captivated by his powers, costume, and impact on the Marvel narrative, Miles Morales has truly earned his place as a beloved protagonist in the Spider-Verse.
