The Big Picture Miles Morales is one of the most beloved Spider-People slinging webs in the Spider-verse, perhaps even more so than Peter Parker. Even Stan Lee gave the character the nod, believing that he was a positive role model for people of color to look up to. Until this point in history, no person of color had ever portrayed the neighborhood web-slinger. Marvel is no stranger to diversity in the Spider-Man world. There are many incarnations of Spider-People.

Donald Glover Was The Inspiration For Miles Morales Close Miles is the brain-child of writer Brian Michael Bendis, who introduced the character to readers in his run of Ultimate Spider-Man. The character's inspiration came from Donald Glover's Twitter campaign to play Spider-Man in a live-action role, with Glover's character donning Spidey pajamas in the second season of his hit NBC comedy series Community.
