How Into The Spider-Verse Lays The Groundwork For Miles Morales' Individuality In Across The Spider-Verse
Shameik Moore sets himself apart with his unique individuality, which is reflected in his personal style. In "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," this is exemplified through his character's struggle with finding the right mask to wear. He questions what feels right and what doesn't, ultimately deciding to follow his own instincts and do what he believes is right, despite what others may say. This is a relatable experience for many people, as we all face similar challenges in our lives.
Unlike other heroes in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, Miles Morales had a unique journey. He was not alone in his transformation as Spider-Man, as he had a team of mentors to guide him. Miles only took the leap of faith to become Spider-Man after learning from Peter B. Parker, Gwen Stacy, and his Earth's Peter Parker. His motivation to become the web-slinger wasn't driven by loss, unlike the other Spider-Heroes.
Miles Morales sets himself apart from the rest of the Spider-Men in the multiverse, as his journey towards becoming a superhero is unique and untraditional. Unlike others who have suffered personal losses and made mistakes, Miles' motivation stems from his uncle, who happened to be one of Kingpin's henchmen. The complexity of his grief lies in the fact that he wasn't just an innocent bystander. These differences, combined with his status as the second Spider-Man of his Earth and his learning from others before donning the mask, make him truly distinctive in the Spider-Verse.
