Canon Point Explanation:
This is the calmest issue Miles can come from. It's a breather issue. And one of the very few where Miles doesn't have something horribly stressful happen to him. At this point, he's already had a while to get used to living away from his family, so he won't be panicking about that.

Canon Point Explanation:
This is the calmest issue Miles can come from. It's a breather issue. And one of the very few where Miles doesn't have something horribly stressful happen to him. At this point, he's already had a while to get used to living away from his family, so he won't be panicking about that.
History: Miles Morales (1610)
Personality:
Miles is a kid who wants to be as normal as possible. All he wanted to do with his life was go to school, study, and get to a good college. Which of course meant that when he received his powers, he was not interested in using them at all. There was already another guy out there with spider powers, and Miles was more than happy to leave all the heroics to that guy. That guy seemed to love it, meanwhile Miles was reluctant to even end up with his. And so Miles continued to be as normal as he could.
Despite deciding that for himself, Miles is still a person who wants to help people who can't or don't get help from others. This is exemplified when a few days after he received his powers, he cam across a burning building with a few people who were still trapped inside it. Without thinking about it, Miles hopped up and rescued them from the building. Of course, directly afterward he reaches a state of panic, and decides that he's never using his powers again.
Said panic sets in because he thought of his parents. More specifically, he thought of his father who is less than enamored of the current superhero 'infestation' in New York. Because Miles doesn't have a lot of family, the few people he has he wants to stay on good terms with. He's very fearful of what might happen if his father finds out because he doesn't want to lose the good relationship they have. And in an effort to continue it, Miles continues to not use his powers.
His resolve not to use his powers falters, when he's hit by guilt. When Peter Parker dies, Miles immediately feels a strong wave of guilt, and a lot of should haves. He goes over the way Peter died and wonders if he had used his own powers earlier, would he have been able to keep Peter from an early death? There's no way to tell, but he certainly thinks that he could have made a difference, and it weighs on his mind. And he says so, because when Miles is stressed he can talk a lot in a very short span of time.
Strengths
Physical:
-super strength. He can leap several stories high and throw police cars around. He has the proportional strength of a spider, much like his predecessor.
-super durability. He is considerably more resistant than a normal human, particularly to impact forces. He's been thrown through plate glass windows and survived.
-super agility. His agility, balance, flexibility and bodily coordination is enhanced beyond the levels of a human Olympic level gymnast.
-super reflexes. Enhanced to about 20 times that of a normal human.
-wall crawling. Miles can stick any surface with is fingertips and feet. At the moment the max amount he can stick to surfaces is unknown, however he can support his own weight.
-spider-camouflage: Miles and his clothes can blend into the surroundings. The overall effect is invisibility.
-venom blast: Miles can temporarily paralyze or daze an enemy by touching them with his hands.
Mental:
-spider-sense. A precognitive ability that warns him of danger.
-smart. Miles is smart enough to apply for a charter school, and manages to answer school related questions even when he's barely paying attention to the class.
Emotional:
-perseverance. Despite carrying a crushing amount of guilt he keeps on going. He might have taken a year long break from super heroics, but in the end he came back and he hasn't thought about going back into retirement.
-kindness. When Tony Stark drops by to provide full catering for Peter's remembrance, Miles has the idea to donate the leftovers to the needy and homeless. He's also the kid who rescues people from burning buildings without a thought.
-brave. Underneath all of Miles' fear and apprehension, there's a kid who will do his best to keep people alive. Days after Miles got his powers, and stated he didn't want to use them at all, he still saved several people from a burning apartment building. During the Galactus event, Miles was the one who volunteered to go through the portal with known criminal Reed Richards to bring back the key to saving their universe.
Weaknesses
Physical:
-combat skill. Because Miles has only been active in the super hero community for about a year and a half, his hand to hand is lacking. As a result, most of his fights have him rely on luck, camouflage and venom blasts. Most of what he knows comes from videos of Peter's run as Spider-Man. And since Peter is dead, Miles is not nearly as combat effective as he could be.
-bullets. While Miles is considerably more durable than most, he is not immune to bullets. The Peter Parker of his world died to one, and considering they have similar skill sets, it's not a great leap to assume the same for Miles.
-reflexes. Just because he has them doesn't mean he takes advantage of them. It works in conjunction with his spider-sense, and when he doesn't realize what the spider-sense is warning him about, he'll still get hit.
Mental:
-chemistry: Despite making it into a charter school, Miles cannot remake Peter's web fluid, despite having the chemical equation. Miles gives that project to Ganke.
-not a genius. Though he's in a charter school, he's nowhere near Peter's ability in biochemistry. Nor does he have the experience to help Tony Stark and company with building and maintaining wormholes and portals to other dimensions.
-spider-sense. At the moment, Miles isn't great at taking it's cues and he still ends up taking blows that could have been avoided. It also buzzes when he's aware of the immediate threat.
-long term memory. Despite always regretting webbing helicopters, he's done it multiple times.
-villains. Again, because Miles has only been working as a hero for less than a year, he doesn't actually know most of his rouge gallery. In most of his fights he's fighting blind.
Emotional:
-fear. Miles didn't want to be Spider-Man originally. He had to be goaded into it by his best friend. His father hated Mutants and all the heroes that populated New York. Miles didn't want to face that and thus didn't become Spider-Man for two months after receiving his powers.
-guilt. Despite not wanting to tell his family about his secret identity, it weighs very heavily on his mind. He's thought about revealing himself several times before the Cataclysm event where he actually did. Miles also continues to believe that being Spider-Man cost his mother her life. He also thinks that if he had used his powers earlier Peter Parker might still be alive. When a member of the police force is ambushed by a gang, Miles thinks it's his fault for not being able to save him.
-negativity. When bad things happen, Miles dwells on them for a very long time. This ranges to the year it took him to recover from his mother dying, to the three days he took to recover from thinking he killed his uncle. However, in his uncle's case he had to be told Spider-Man didn't actually kill his uncle before he could move on. Even when good things happen to him, he wonders if he really deserves it.
-family. When his mother died, Miles gave up on being Spider-Man for a full year because he didn't want any more of his family to die due to his heroics. Miles was also easily manipulated by his (super villain) uncle because of the good relationship they used to have. At least at first, however after the first time Miles worked with him, his uncle blackmailed him into continuing to work for him. The blackmail in question was telling Miles' dad about his son's secret identity.
Anything else?: Miles' powers are going to get toned down.
SAMPLES
First Person:
This place? It's weird. I've met versions of people I know back home who've never met me. Which, bizarrely, has actually happened before. But the last time I met somebody from a different reality, they seemed pretty much the same.
I've never even seen the Katie I know pick up a bow. Not to mention she's fifteen back home. And Captain America and Iron Man are here too. This Captain yells a whole lot less. But it seems like nobody's even heard of Spider-Man. Red suit with a spider detail on the front? Is that familiar to anybody? I feel like there's a lack of spider related heroes in places where I thought they'd be.
And nobody's even heard of the Ultimates. But they have heard of the Avengers. What are you guys trying to avenge?
Third Person:
When Miles wakes up feeling the press of grass and feathers against his back, he's worried. The last thing he remembers is walking back to the bus stop with Ganke. And taking a quick look around, he's not even in a city.
Context clues tell him that he's probably been kidnapped. Which hasn't happened to him before, he'd usually regain consciousness way before the point he got dragged off somewhere. But no, not today. Here he is. Stuck in the weirdest forest he's ever seen. He knows enough that conifers shouldn't even be in the same area as rain forest type trees.
As he stands up, he notes the sharp pain in his back and again the rustling of feathers. Are those part of him? He reaches back and- yes indeed the feathers are his. Miles winces. They certainly hurt, but at least they don't hurt as much as spider bite from two years ago. Thank goodness for small favors? It's a very small favor, but it seems like he was out for the worst of it- the actual attaching part.
The fact that somebody went to trouble to attach wings? He takes a moment to attempt to flex the appendages. Yes, attach wings to him is cause for concern. If they managed to do that to him, did they do anything else? As he takes a quick look around there doesn't seem to be anybody close by. So he attempts to stick himself to a tree. At least that power hasn't been affected, since he manages to stick. After his attempt he proceeds to climb right back down. He's not in costume, and he'd rather not have to explain sticking to trees.
Well, at least that's still there. Jury's still out on if his other abilities still function. There's a distinct lack of buzzing inside his head. So if that wasn't tampered with either, he's not in any immediate danger. Future danger's still up on the air though.
Another small favor he's thankful for is having his clothes neatly folded next to him. Still on the strange side for a kidnapper though. Plus the fact whoever gave them back was thoughtful enough to put holes into his shirt. They were even kind enough to give him the suit he was wearing under his dress clothes.
Miles winces. Still, if they just gave it back and didn't detain him further, maybe he's alright for now? He didn't wake up in a prison cell. So that's... something. He's not sure if it's a good thing. The last time he ended up in a prison cell he met Nick Fury.
So whoever did this isn't SHIELD.
Miles is the type of person who tends to focus in on the negatives of any particular situation. When he got into charter school, instead of being happy about it, he looks around at all the other kids who didn't manage to make it, and wondered if the lottery was right. When Peter died, he thought if he was there he might have been able to prevent it. Not once did he consider that he could have died in Peter's place. And the potential that he could have saved Peter is the first step of him becoming Spider-Man. The second part is him learning the quote, "With great power comes great responsibility." Because after he's been dwelling on the potential of saving Peter, he believes that.
He also usually thinks things through. However, he can be talked into doing things he doesn't think are good ideas. His best friend convinced him to put on a copy of Peter's costume as his first suit. Miles thinks it's in bad taste since Peter died less than a week ago, but when Ganke tells him it's in tribute to Peter, Miles goes along with it anyway.
As Spider-Man, Miles avoids direct fist fights. He will generally allow his adversary to knock him around a bit before he starts fighting back. Not necessarily because he wants to, but because he's generally smaller than his opponents. When his adversary touches him directly, or Miles initiates contact, his venom blast goes off. In cases where he can't get to his opponent for whatever reason, Miles is not above picking up police cars and throwing them.
Just because Miles is a super hero though, doesn't mean he goes through all of the trials unscathed. When his uncle died, Miles took that blame onto himself up until he learned it wasn't his fault. But when his mother dies, and his father was injured, Miles takes guilt onto himself fully, even though there was nothing he could have done to stop it. The difference between his uncle and his parents, was his uncle attempted to blackmail him, and was a supervillain himself, while his parents had nothing to do with any of his superhero life.
When his mother died, Miles stopped his superhero activities for a full year. He continued on his hiatus even when his friends tried very hard to get him back into the swing of things. At this point, he's lost the majority of his family. He had to watch his mother and uncle die. Miles wants nothing else to do with the super hero community. Whenever somebody tries to convince him back, he continues to shoot them down. He doesn't want to lose his father as well, especially since his father is the only family he has left. Nothing less than a massive guilt trip of considerable proportion to Peter's death can get him back in the game.
Jessica Drew manages to show up with a massive one. Telling Miles that she's a clone of Peter Parker, but she's not <i>really</i> Peter. Included in this guilt trip was the fact there are teenagers out there that were experimented on and SHIELD turns a blind eye to it. Because in the end, Miles is a person who wants to help others, especially if they don't get help from others. Also because Miles is very susceptible to guilt trips, either self inflicted or from others.
