Spider-Man vs Miles Morales: Why Peter Parker's Physical Ceiling Wins the Fight

Spider-Man versus Miles Morales: who wins? My answer is Peter Parker, because when you stack what each of them has actually been through, Peter's physical ceiling right now is simply higher.

Miles Morales outran hundreds of spider people during the Spider Society chase

Miles evading hundreds of spider people at once during the Spider Society chase is one of the most insane feats any Spider-Man has ever pulled off. It was not just one or two Spider-Men chasing him. It was hundreds, including versions that have some real feats of their own behind them.

Then there is his venom blast, which cleared an entire room of spider people in one shot. Add his camouflage and his bioelectricity, and Miles has a toolkit that sets him apart. Miles is that one character whose power level just keeps on increasing every time you think he has already reached his limit.

Peter Parker is stronger than ever after Brand New Day

However, after Brand New Day, Spider-Man is significantly stronger, faster and tougher than he has ever been before. He fought the Hulk. "The Hulk." He held the Staten Island Ferry together by himself, and he tanked hits from Thanos.

Those are not normal Spider-Man opponents. Those are beings that operate well above the street-level tier that Miles has been tested against, and Peter survived fights with all of them and kept moving. That difference in the level of opposition each hero has faced is what decides this matchup for me.

Why Spider-Man takes the win over Miles

Running away from the whole Spider Society is incredible, and Miles's unique powers can keep this fight interesting throughout.

But when you stack what each of them has actually been through, Peter's physical ceiling right now is just higher. "Spider-Man wins."

Do you think Miles's ever growing power set could close that gap, or does Peter's record against the Hulk and Thanos settle it?
