Who Is Miles Morales? How a Stolen Oscorp Spider Turned Him Into Spider-Man
A theft at Oscorp, a spider bite and Peter Parker's death set Miles on his path
Miles Morales got his powers from a spider his uncle unknowingly stole from Oscorp.
Aaron Davis carried the spider out of Oscorp
When Norman Osborn was arrested, Aaron Davis, Miles's uncle, saw an opening to break into the abandoned Oscorp Industries. Unknown to him, a genetically altered spider crept into his bag.
Miles had just been awarded a final spot in a charter school, and he visited his uncle against his parents' wishes. The spider bit him and he began foaming at the mouth. With a friend's help, he later discovered camouflage, strength and web shooting. Despite sharing Peter Parker's powers, Miles just wanted to be a normal kid.
Peter Parker's death pushed Miles to take up the mantle
Months later, Osborn escaped and killed Peter while he was trying to rescue his family. Distraught at not helping, Miles took up the mantle of Spider-Man and the same philosophy: with great power comes great responsibility.
Is guilt over Peter the real reason Miles became Spider-Man?
