Under Peter's guidance, Miles attempts to step up as New York City's newest superhero, the second Spider-Man.

He eventually gains spider-like powers himself, which he reveals to Peter, who in turn reveals being Spider-Man. Miles is unaware of Peter's secret identity as the masked vigilante Spider-Man, whom Miles idolizes. Peter befriends Miles after his father's death, introducing him to the non-profit F.E.A.S.T. He is also close friends with Ganke Lee, who knows about his secret identity and helps him on missions. A seventeen-year-old teenager, he is a friend of Peter Parker and the son of police officer Jefferson Davis and councilor Rio Morales.

Miles Morales is the tertiary playable character and tritagonist of Marvel's Spider-Man and the main protagonist of the standalone spin-off Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
