A significant portion of the Wall-Crawler’s past from the multiverse is referenced in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The movie borrows ideas from numerous narratives and different iterations of the iconic characters to produce a distinctive tale that yet incorporates many of Spider-Man’s cliches and themes. One unexpected narrative in particular, however, foreshadows the movie’s major surprise and raises the possibility that it may endanger the protagonists.
Miles Morales is introduced in the dark cinematic incarnation of Across the Spider-Verse as the Prowler in his universe rather than becoming Spider-Man. But this isn’t the first time an evil form of Miles has faced off against a version of Miles. The plot borrows certain ideas from Spider-Men II while also giving the narrative a more individualised touch.
How the Spider-Verse introduces an evil Miles Morales
Morales is on the run from a lot of his pals in the last scene of Across the Spider-Verse. Miles has been forced to break away from the Spider Society after learning about the Canon Points and his father’s death, which seemed to be coming soon. He has just about managed to get away from their headquarters. However, his attempts to return to his own timeline are unsuccessful when he lands on Earth-42 rather than his own world. This is the reality where the spider that bit him is from; as a result, there is no Spider-Hero of any kind to save the day.
Miles is knocked unconscious and taken captive by an enigmatic person as he attempts to adapt to this new, strange reality, especially the fact that his uncle, Aaron, is still alive although his father isn’t. It turns out that this is the Prowler from this planet, who is really Miles from Earth-42. In contrast to his heroic alter ego, this gloomy Miles seemed to have adopted the criminal path that his uncle had long taken. Although Miles finds this to be startling, a similar revelation was made in the original comics.
The Miles Morales most fans are familiar with in the Marvel Universe really has roots in the Ultimate Universe. Following in the footsteps of the deceased Peter Parker from his planet, Miles was a youthful hero who rose to prominence before finally relocating to Earth-616 after the events of Secret Wars. However, the original Miles of Earth-616, who was still alive, had a much grimmer tale to tell.The Miles of Earth-616 was born years earlier than his counterpart in Spider-Men II by Brian Michael Bendis, Sara Pichelli, Justin Ponsor, and Chris Eliopoulos, and he started living a life of crime at a young age. This Miles became into a violent murderer who finally fled to a reality where his loving wife wasn’t murdered. He later joined the Kingpin’s organisation. In Spider-Men II, he attacked Miles and Peter before changing into the time-traveling bad guy known as Ultimatum.
It’s an intriguing idea that Spider-Men II serves as inspiration for the Spider-Verse, and it does it in a way that is closer to reality than the comic. The Prowler link is a compelling story development that has more emotional weight than Miles’ friendship with Kingpin in Earth-616. The Prowler could still be connected to Wilson Fisk if the Kingpin of Earth-42 is still alive and even prospering in a universe without Spider-Man. He has a justification for taking a hard stance in their argument, though, because of this added layer. Over time, a malicious Miles has also shown to be a highly lethal hazard.
Evil Miles showed to be an extremely clever and merciless menace, especially when he became Ultimatum, and the Prowler looks to have similar traits. Additionally, they act as special antagonists to their heroic Miles, emphasising how easily the young Spider-Man might have taken a turn for the worse. Whatever the case, this malevolent Miles may wind up having a merciless edge that could be hard to overcome if Spider-Men II and the stories that followed about the bad Miles are any indication of where things may go next for the cinematic Miles.
