Personality:

❝ My name is Miles Morales. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for like two days, I’ve been the one and only Spider-Man. I think you know the rest. I finished my essay. I saved a bunch of people. Got hit by a drone. I did this with my dad. Met my roommate finally. Slapped a sticker where my dad’s never going to find it. And when I feel alone, like no one understands what I’m going through, I remember my friends who get it. I never thought I'd be able to do any of this stuff, but I can. Anyone can wear the mask. You can wear the mask. If you didn't know that before, I hope you do now. Cause I’m Spider-Man. And I’m not the only one. Not by a long shot. ❞

Miles Morales is first and foremost a kind, friendly teenager. He helps people and likes making friends and being social. We see just how social he is when we see just how many friends he had at his old school, and then all his attempts to make friends at his new school. He seemingly had no issue talking to strangers and trying to befriend them. Miles seems to be able to mesh with just about everyone we see him interact with in the movie, even Peter B. Parker who started out rather standoffish to him.

Another thing we witness about Miles rather quickly is his intelligence. He won a scholastic contest gaining him entry to an advanced academy school where he seems to be able to keep up intellectually, even if it seems to be far more work that he's ever had to do. We see him scheme up a way to try to get kicked out of the school by failing at least one of his classes. The teacher calls him out on getting a 0% on a test and says that she knew he knew the answers since he avoided choosing the correct ones to the point of not even getting a few of them right.

One of the biggest faucets of his character that we see throughout the movie is his creativity. Miles is highly creative, whether it's in his thinking or his artistic ability, it's shown over and over again. He problem solves in a lot of ways that the other characters wouldn't; a good example of this is his usage of the second original Spider-Man's web-shooters to escape the police when he is at Peter's grave. And he gets bit by the spider that gave him his powers out by graffiti-ing with his uncle.

Something that seems to be common to all Spider-people is the awkwardness. Miles Morales is one awkward kid. Whether he's cracking a joke in an awkward situation, or trying to mack on a girl that may have ended up in him almost ripping half her hair out, or screaming about puberty in front of his roommate when his pants don't fit. Miles is awkward, even when he tries not to be. This is a fact that he tries to mask with humour -- humour that rarely works to mask how awkward he is.

On top of being ridiculously awkward, Miles just wants to be normal. He makes this clear when he and RIPeter meet and realise they're the same, he tells Peter he doesn't want to be. He doesn't want to have spider powers. We see this theme a couple times through the movie. We see him graffiti a picture saying NO EXPECTATIONS with the outline of himself in it, trying to show that he doesn't want these great expectations placed upon him by his family. And then again when Peter B. Parker tells him he has to swing to escape the bad guys, he claims he's better at running and is resistant to swinging. Throughout the movie he struggles against his newfound powers because he hasn't accepted them yet.

Ultimately, what leads to Miles accepting his powers is the fact that his city, his family and his friends are in danger. He couldn't stand for letting something happen to any of them, and realises that it is his responsibility to help. So, not only is he protective of those around him, even if they're not people he knows, he also has the ridiculous Spider-Man with great power comes great responsibility standards.

This feeling of responsibility leads him to push past his fear and take a leap of faith into his powers. Miles is a great example of the whole "bravery isn't a lack of fear, but being afraid and pushing past it" standard. We see that he is pretty scared the entire time but trying to do the right thing. It makes sense with how young he is.


We see that even though he's afraid and his powers are betraying him (sticking to the glass even when he wants to jump,) he pushes past it, breaking the glass.


Probably one of the most important characteristics of Miles G. Morales is how determined he is. When he sets his sights on something, he doesn't stop until he succeeds. He doesn't let any of the other Spider-Gang bench him, even after Peter shows him that he doesn't think he has what it takes for this fight. Miles pushes past fear and loss to constantly prove himself time and time again, because he feels like he needs to prove himself, and knows he can.


Abilities/Powers/Weaknesses & Warping:
Miles shares all his powers with the comic version of himself:
Powers
It should be noted that Miles is still a huge klutz, and he also has only been doing the Spider-Man thing like two days. So he's like a baby in a Spider-Man costume. It should also be noted that he only knows how to really venom blast (we see him mega venom blast once, but he doesn't seem to have it mastered at all). He also doesn't know how to do his energy thread generation yet (not that he is incapable, he just doesn't know how.)

He's also proficient in art.

His major weakness would be how young he is and also the fact that he's still discovering his powers.

Are you comfortable with prominent elements of fourth-walling?: Yep!
What themes of horror/psychological thrillers do you enjoy the most?: ALL OF THEM. I don't really know. I love being spooked and all the spooky stuff. I live for it. I love when stuff kinda ties together. I also love when it's like insidious like in Silent Hill and stuff... Iunno, this is a terrible answer, sorry. I hate the horror that has to rely on jumpscares tho. Psychological horror is my huge jam. Also like zombies and ghosts. I don't like when things rely on gore to scare but I don't mind gore either.
Is there anything in particular you absolutely need specific content warnings for?: Nah.
