Miles Morales is a teenager from Brooklyn who gains powers similar to Spider-Man’s after being bitten by a genetically modified spider. Initially reluctant to become a hero, he eventually chooses to accept that responsibility following the death of Peter Parker in his universe. Able to turn invisible and generate a bio-electric venom blast in addition to his other abilities, Miles gradually learns to develop his own way of being Spider-Man. Between school, family, new enemies, and encounters with other heroes, he tries to live up to the symbol he carries without losing his own identity.
