Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is an American animated superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales Spider-Man. Miles Morales is a teenager from Brooklyn who was bitten by a genetically altered spider and gained spider-like abilities similar to Peter Parker’s. He became the Spider-Man of his reality after the death of that reality’s Peter Parker. Miles Morales is half-Black and half-Latino, which makes him one of the few superheroes of color in mainstream American comic books. He is also one of the few characters to have taken on the mantle of Spider-Man besides Peter Parker. A fanart Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse progress bar for YouTube with Miles Morales.
