How does Miles Morales fit into the Brakken-verse??

it'd be kinda cool to see your take on Miles Morales

One day, when curiosity gets the better of Miles, he opens the mysterious container that his uncle hid in his room - and is bitten by the radioactive spider inside.

His plan was to pretend like it never happened, even when a few days later he began developing superpowers.

But when he sees a news headline about ‘The Prowler’s’ recent break-in at a city lab, he puts together how his uncle got the spider. He figures the best thing he can do is return the stolen goods - no harm no foul. So he sneaks out of his room one night, and heads to the scene of the crime...

Meanwhile, Peter and Gwen (as Spider-Man and Spider-Woman) have been looking into that same break-in - and encounter Miles as he’s leaping across rooftops.

They soon realise there’s more at play here, and offer to help him with his predicament. Once they discover his spider-powers, Peter becomes keen on bringing him onto the team. Miles agrees - after all, who wouldn’t want to be Spider-Man?

how would you change Miles Morales as a character so he is less like a clone of peter parker?

Hmm, if I were to break it down...

Peter’s great responsibility will always be the weight he needs to balance against his personal life. Being Spider-Man will always win out in that contest.

For Miles, he’s still maturing, and didn’t get the same hard reality check as Peter, so he still has some of that cocky nature that Peter lost. And he doesn’t feel as bound to the role as Peter does. He has more of a ‘my way or the high way’ attitude, but since he’s so indecisive, this gets him into trouble.

In summary: Peter wants help, but feels like he shouldn’t need it. Miles needs help, but doesn’t know how to ask for it.

As for more specific traits, I think Miles is a smart kid, but not a science prodigy. He does well at school but you won’t see him creating web fluid. Though, I feel he would think better on his feet. Peter may find creative ways to use his powers, while Miles will be like ‘I’ll throw my bus money at ‘em - they won’t see that coming!’ (see Fig. 1)

Hope you like him! I actually haven’t read/seen much of Miles, but I wanted to attempt to spin him into this ‘verse without killing Peter.

I feel like Miles would be a little averse to wearing a costume early on. I kinda like the idea that he gradually sees the benefit of wearing it for identity and mobility reasons.
