And today we're exploring the origins of Miles Morales.

It's like boring how normal this spider is.

Are you a fan of this iteration of Spiderman?

Miles originally hails from Earth 16 10, the alternate version of the Marvel Universe seen in the now defunct ultimate line of Marvel Comics.

The idea behind the ultimate universe was simple.

Present new, updated versions of Marvel's most important characters that were younger, cooler and not bogged down by a half a century of continuity to confuse new readers.

For 14 years and 200 issues, the ultimate universes Peter Parker navigated the worlds of super heroics and high school before tragically dying in his final battle with the Green Goblin.

But Peter was far from the ultimate universes Onley, spider empowered teenager and before long, a new Web slinger could be seen fighting crime in the streets of Manhattan.

This new Spiderman was Miles Morales, a mixed race teenager from Brooklyn blessed with similar spider abilities.

This came about thanks to Miles Uncle Aaron Davis, who moonlit as a master criminal called the Prowler when Aaron broke into the abandoned Oz Corp complex, a specimen from the same batch of genetically altered spiders that gave Peter his ability snuck into his bag later during a visit to Uncle Erin's apartment.

This spider bit miles granting him abilities similar to Peters but with a few added bonuses In addition to the strength, agility, spider sense and wall crawling that Spiderman is known for, Miles also gained two additional abilities.

The power to camouflage himself in his clothes and become invisible for brief periods of time, and a venom blast that can incapacitate foes, even causing any superhuman abilities they possessed to short circuit.

Following the death of Peter Parker, Miles realized the Spiderman shaped hole had been left in New York and set out to continue Peters mission of using his powers for good, taking to the streets with a spiffy new costume and a pair of genuine Web shooters supplied by Nick Fury and Peter's female clone, Jessica Long story Don't ask, but the ultimate universe couldn't contain miles for long.

Miles First came face to face with his mainline Marvel Universe counterpart in the first genuine crossover between the ultimate universe and the regular Marvel You.

When the two teamed up to Battle Mysterio.

As it turned out, the ultimate universes Mysterio was, in reality the regular Marvel Universe mysterio, projecting his consciousness into a remote controlled body from across the dimensional divide.

The two Spiderman parted ways but would soon meet again when the spiders of many universes teamed up to battle the inheritors, a race of energy vampires that fed on the energies of those touched by the mystical spider totem miles.

Adventures in his home universe continued as the young hero grew into his own as a crime fighter.

At one point following the death of his mother, he even took part in the sacred Spiderman tradition of swearing off crime fighting with the dramatic gnome or before returning a year later, Miles and a number of other young heroes would even go on to form a superhero team called the Young Ultimate.

But the ultimate universes days were sadly numbered when the ultimate universe and its mainstream counterpart collided In an event known as the Incursion, the heroes of both universes found themselves in a hellish amalgam universe known as Battle World, where Dr Doom reigned as God emperor.

Following a massive battle for the future of the Marvel universe, A new Earth was formed that retained elements of the regular Marvel universe and its ultimate counterpart.

Now Miles, as well as his friends and family, are part of the mainstream Marvel universe, with only miles retaining his memories of his old world.

He still got a lot of learning to do when it comes to Web slinging.

But this young crime fighter has proven time and again he's got what it takes.
