Jefferson Morales
Jefferson Morales
"With great ability comes great accountability."
Voiced By: Brian Tyree Henry Foreign VAs
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse | Across the Spider-Verse
"Spider-Man swings in once a day, zip, zap, zop in his little mask and answers to no one."
Miles's father. He's a police officer, and disapproves of Spider-Man.
- Adaptational Curves: He is beefier than he is in the comics.
- Adaptational Nice Guy:
- In the comics, Jefferson is a SHIELD agent who is distant and aloof to his son out of necessity. Here he's a cop and clearly affectionate to Miles.
- His dislike of Spider-Man is more down to his being a vigilante who hides his identity rather than his disdain of superpowers in general like in comics; just like the rest of New York he's appalled to learn of Peter's death.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: He embarrasses Miles twice while dropping him off at school. First by giving him a ride in the back on his police cruiser, and then again by using the car's loudspeaker to tell Miles to say "I love you." back to him.
- Alternate Self: Has one on Earth-1048. Also counts as a Dead Alternate Counterpart.
- Archnemesis Dad: Subverted. When Jefferson sees a costumed Miles standing over the corpse of his brother, he mistakes Miles as Aaron's murderer, and calls in an APB for the new Spider-Man. It starts to look like Miles's story will involve Jefferson hunting him down, but it's subverted near the end when Jefferson sees Spider-Man heroically battling Kingpin all by himself. This is enough to convince him that Spider-Man was not the true murderer.
- Big Brother Instinct: It's not made clear if he's the older between him and Aaron, but when he thinks that the second Spider-Man has killed him, he immediately calls an APB on him before sobbing over his brother's corpse.
- By-the-Book Cop: Doesn't approve of Spider-Man's extra-legal antics. He doesn't even run red lights, much to Miles's chagrin.
- The Commissioner Gordon: Implied that he'll take on this role further down Miles's Spider-Man career when the latter tells him he looks forward to working with him in the future.
- Cool Shades: Wears these while he's on the job.
- Education Papa: Jefferson is the more compassionate variant of one. He makes Miles attend Visions Academy because he wants Miles to get a good education and believes he'll be brilliant there. Jefferson always checks if Miles did his homework and encourages him to do better.
- Everyone Has Standards: Even though he disapproves of Spider-Man's vigilantism, Jefferson is notably shocked upon hearing of the original's death. He also comes to tolerate the new Spider-Man, unaware that it's Miles.
- Fair Cop: He's a muscular and good-looking police officer.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The responsible one, to Aaron's foolish one. According to Aaron, the two of them used to tag buildings in their youth, but then they became estranged after Jeff became a cop. And Jeff states that Aaron is into some shady activities.
- The Gadfly: He seems to love embarrassing his son in front of his school.
- Good Parents: For the most part. He teases his son and can be a bit too hard on him but he deeply loves him and wants Miles to have a good life.
- Heroic Build: He's a hardworking, By-the-Book Cop who happens to be built like a brickhouse to contrast his comparatively lanky-looking brother.
- Innocently Insensitive: He has a habit of telling Miles what he really thinks rather than what Miles needs to hear, and is ready to send him back to the dorms when Miles returns home, obviously distressed after Peter Parker's death. He also reaffirms his dislike of Spider-Man for his vigilante ways when Miles asks if he really hates Spider-Man whilst trying to come to terms with witnessing his murder.
- It's Personal: Feels this after mistakenly believing that Spider-Man killed his brother. To the point of calling out an APB for anyone dressed like Spider-Man.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's tough on Miles and is not exactly the most sympathetic or understanding parent but that doesn't mean he has no love for him. He's hard on him but is still an affectionate, caring, and well-meaning father.
- Manly Tears: He's very clearly trying very hard not to break down crying after he finds Aaron dead in an alleyway.
- Little "No": His reaction up on finding his brother's corpse in the alley after Miles vanishes.
- My Greatest Failure: During his speech to Miles before the climax, his biggest regret in life was never reconciling with Aaron before he died.
- Never Got to Say Goodbye: He's estranged from his brother Aaron Davis as a result of their opposing lifestyles. Aaron's death because of Kingpin means that the two brothers never had a chance to patch up their differences, something that clearly hurts Jefferson very deeply when he attempts to break the news outside Miles's dorm (not knowing that Miles was there when Aaron died).
- Parents as People: Jeff is, for the most part, a good parent and dearly loves his son. However, he recognizes that there are times when he pushes Miles too hard because he wants Miles to live up to his potential. He does get better near the end of the movie.
- Please, Don't Leave Me: As Miles is busy with figuring out how to Spider-Man, his aloofness and failure to update his parents on his whereabouts leads to Jefferson worrying that his son might be drifting away from him thanks to his disapproval of his activities, interests and fondness of Aaron. After Aaron dies and he Never Got to Say Goodbye, Jefferson heads to Miles's dorm room and tearfully pleads with his son to not be estranged from him like Aaron was.
- Rank Up: By the second film, his role in arresting the Kingpin makes him in line to be promoted to Captain. This is actually a very bad thing, as according to Miguel, a "Captain" figure who's a close ally of Spidey dying is considered to be a canon event that cannot be altered, which means Jefferson's fate is seemingly sealed when he's promoted to Captain, and he's destined to be killed by the Spot according to Miguel.
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The more muscular and tough police officer manly man to Mile's more compassionate and artistic sensitive guy.
- Two First Names: Both "Jefferson" and "Davis" can also be used as given names.
Rio Morales
Rio Morales
Voiced By: Luna Lauren Velez Foreign VAs
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse | Across the Spider-Verse
"Our family doesn't run from things, Miles."
Miles's mother. She seems to dote on her son and works at a hospital.
- Almighty Mom: She can easily manage Jefferson with a stern look and a few gentle words. When he's about to go on a rant about how much he dislikes Spider-Man, Rio gives him a small "mi amor" and quietly ushers him out of Miles's room.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Not to the extent of her husband, but she still squishes Miles's cheeks and kisses them for too long on in public to his embarrassment.
- Berserk Button: Rio is shown to get very cross with Miles when she learns he only has a B in Spanish class despite having been raised bilingual.
- Doting Parent: She showers her son with kisses when he's about to head off to boarding school.
- Good Parents: Loves her son and worries about him. She quickly shoos her husband out of the room when Miles comes home distraught and sees that Jefferson isn't helping the situation.Rio: Miles, we gotta go.
Miles: In a minute.
Rio: Gotta go!
Miles: In a minute!
Miles: [being smushed by his mother's kisses] Mom, I gotta go!
Rio: [giddily stopping her kisses] Mmmmwah! In a minute! - Gratuitous Spanish: She mixes Spanish phrases and sentences into her speech often. In the Latin American Spanish dub, however, she speaks with a heavy Puerto Rican accent.
- Ironic Echo: When Miles is procrastinating on going to school, he says "In a minute!" When Miles gets embarrassed by Rio kissing him as he's heading out the door, she trolls him by saying "In a minute!"
- Limited Wardrobe: Wears a nurse uniform in all her scenes, even at home.
- The Maiden Name Debate: Like the comics, Rio keeps her surname while married to Jefferson.
Aaron Davis
Aaron Davis
"You know 'bout the shoulder touch?"
Voiced By: Mahershala Ali Foreign VAs
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse
"Yo, I can't have no nephew of mine on the streets with no game!"
Miles's uncle on his dad's side. A cheerful, easygoing sort who fondly encourages his nephew's artistic endeavours.
- Affably Evil: In spite of vague allusions by Jefferson to him being a criminal, he's one of the coolest and most chill guys you'd ever meet.
- The Casanova: Implied when he teaches Miles how to win over Gwanda with a simple hand on the shoulder and claiming that it's a "proved science."
- Cool Uncle: To Miles, who loves to hang with him whenever he can. When Miles visits him after a stressful day at his new school, Aaron gives him some genuine girl-advice, the two sharing a good laugh and a playful rib. Aaron can easily tell something is troubling Miles, and brings him to an abandoned subway station to spray paint one of the walls, knowing that it'll make Miles feel better. Aaron also encourages Miles to not drift apart from Jefferson.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish one, to Jefferson's responsible one. According to Aaron, the two of them used to tag buildings in their youth, but then they became estranged after Jeff became a cop. And Jeff states that Aaron is into some shady activities.
- Ink-Suit Actor: Mahershala Ali was one of the first voice actors cast for the film and his physical appearance so intrigued the character designers that much of his facial structure and physique ended up in the final character design.
- Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: Is a loving and supportive uncle to Miles, but is a dangerous enemy to Miles' Spider-Man persona as the Prowler.
- Parental Substitute: Miles seems to enjoy spending more time with Aaron than he does with his actual father. Aaron himself laments that he simply wanted Miles to be proud of him.
- Secret Identity: It's implied throughout the film that Aaron is some kind of criminal and is later revealed to be the Prowler, Kingpin's chief enforcer.
- Shared Family Quirks: He jokes that he knew he and Miles were related based on Miles trying to fence hop and falling, but still getting up as if nothing happened.
- Shipper on Deck: He encourages Miles to pursue Gwen (or Gwanda) when Miles tells him about her.
- Two First Names: "Aaron" and "Davis" can both be used as first names.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Taking Miles to the abandoned subway tracks leads to Miles getting bitten by the spider that will give him powers. This causes Miles to go back and investigate where he then witnesses Blond Peter's death. This then makes him a target for The Prowler whose dogged persistence in tracking him eventually leads to their rooftop confrontation and Aaron being shot to death by Kingpin when he decides not to kill Miles.
- "Well Done, Dad!" Guy: At the end, Aaron laments on how he wanted Miles to be proud of him.
May Parker
May Parker
"Took you long enough!"
Voiced By: Lily Tomlin Foreign VAs
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse | Across the Spider-Verse
The aunt of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Miles's home dimension.
- Adaptational Badass: This version of May requests that Kingpin's men take the fight outside when they arrive there for Miles. When the fight breaks out between them and the Spider-Gang, she repeats her request much more firmly with a baseball bat to the midsection of Tombstone.Aunt May: I said: Take it outside!!
- Adaptational Intelligence: Much more tech savvy than most other versions of Aunt May. She's smart enough to not only keep her nephew's lair operational and hidden after his death, but also builds Miles a pair of web shooters when he finally gains control over his abilities and decides to step-up as the new Spider-Man.
- Alternate Self: Manages to be this from the perspective of the alternate Peter Parker. To him, she's a still-living version of his deceased aunt. To her, he's an older, less-fit version of her deceased nephew. Also to May Porker from Spider-Ham's reality, who appears briefly when he explains his origin.
- Badass Normal: When the super-villains arrive at Aunt May's house, she asks if they would mind taking it outside which is promptly ignored. After the collateral damage begins to rack up, Aunt May grabs a baseball bat and knocks Tombstone out the door onto the front yard.
- Batter Up!: Uses a baseball bat on Tombstone to reinforce her demand that they take the fight outside.
- Cool Old Lady: May is a kind, compassionate woman who can lay on the snark as well as her nephew, and knew all along about Peter's double-life. She believed Miles would step up and take the mantle of Spider-Man and join the rest of the Spider-Gang because she built him webshooters for the climax and was waiting for him to return to Spider-Base. When her house is under attack by super-villains, she takes up a baseball bat and beats Tombstone with it.
- Dead Alternate Counterpart: Peter B's Aunt May died at some point in his universe. Her Earth-199999 counterpart also got killed by the Green Goblin in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
- Disappointed in You: She expresses this mildly on seeing Peter B. noting how old and tired he looks and the fact that he's wearing sweatpants.
- Never Mess with Granny: Aunt May might be old, she's not afraid to use a baseball bat.
- Nice Girl: She's always polite.
- Outliving One's Offspring: She raised Peter like a son, only for him to be killed courtesy of the Kingpin.
- Parental Substitute: Although not confirmed by what's shown in the film, the assumption is that Blond Peter's relationship with Aunt May is similar to their relationship in the other dimensions even though Aunt May also plays the role of Alfred to Blond Peter's Spider-Man.
- Put on a Bus: Miles reveals that she moved to Florida before the event of Across the Spider-Verse while recalling the events that happened during and after the first film.
- Secret-Keeper:
- She knows her nephew was Spider-Man and functions as Alfred to his Batman, housing his secret underground lair where he kept his costumes and equipment in her backyard. She is apparently aware of his investigations as she knew that Fisk was a villain and had prior knowledge of Olivia Octavius.
- By movie's end, she knows Miles is the city's new Spider-Man giving him her blessing to take up Blond Peter's mantle by supplying him with his costume and first web shooters that she built herself.
- Seen It All: Though initially a little taken aback when Miles, Gwen and especially the alternate Peter show up at her door, she overcomes that pretty quickly, mostly because they aren't the first or even the strangest alternate universe Spiders to have sought her out.
- Taking the Fight Outside: She asks everyone to take the fight out of her house after Fisk's thugs arrive in pursuit of Miles. Once the fight starts and the collateral damage accumulates, she uses a baseball bat to force Tombstone out.
- The Team Benefactor: Aunt May was shown to be "Alfred" to Blond Peter. She was aware of Blond Peter's double-life, harbors the "spider-cave" beneath her back yard, and knows how to make a custom set of web-shooters for Miles. Given that Blond Peter was rich from his commercial endorsements, it stands to reason that Aunt May has access to those funds and will help finance Miles as he continues to take on the mantle of Spider-Man on Earth 1610.
- Team Mom: She acts as the caretaker for the Spider-Gang when they seek shelter at her home.
- Unfazed Everyman: May's not at all concerned by the fact a bunch of supervillains are threatening her superpowered house guests. However she is concerned with the immense damage being done to her house.
Mary Jane Watson-Parker
Mary Jane Watson-Parker
Voiced By: Zoë Kravitz Foreign VAs
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse
"We all have powers of our own, in one way or another. We are all Spider-Man. And we're all counting on you."
The wife of Peter Parker in Miles's home dimension.
- Adaptational Dye-Job: Mary Jane is known in comics for being a Green-Eyed Redhead, but here she has blue eyes (which is actually close to how she looked in her first appearance by John Romita Sr.).
- Age Lift: Much like Peter Parker of the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, Ultimate MJ was a teenager when the events that caused Miles to replace Ultimate Peter happen. Here, she's an adult.
- Alternate Self: She's this when viewed from the perspective of the alternate universe Peter B. She's the same person as his wife, and aside from the age difference, looks almost identical to her as well.
- Big Damn Kiss: She kisses Spider-Man while hanging upside down from a ladder, an inversion of their most famous moment in Spider-Man.
- Composite Character: In her 20s and married to Peter Parker like the 616 Mary Jane Watson was in the comics and also gets the tragedy of him dying leaving her to mourn his death like the Ultimate Mary Jane.
- Happily Married: Her and the Peter Parker of her universe, at least before his death.
- The Mourning After: She gives a eulogy speech at Peter's funeral, with the death hitting her extremely hard.
- Precious Photo: Peter kept a photo of her at his workstation in his spider lair.
- Secret-Keeper: She, of course, knew about her husband's double life as Spider-Man.
Ben Parker
Ben Parker
Voiced By: Cliff Robertson Foreign VAs
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse
The late, beloved uncle of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Miles's home dimension.
- Alternate Self: Peter B. and Noir also had Uncle Bens in their home dimensions (though the latter called him Uncle Benjamin), and like this one, they died and were the first person Spider-Man failed to save.
- Comes Great Responsibility: He teaches this wisdom to Peter in which he uses as inspiration to become Spider-Man.
- In Spite of a Nail: Every version of him in the multiverse died as part of his nephew's origin story.
- Nephewism: Peter is his brother's son. What exactly happened to his brother and sister-in-law to leave Peter under his and May's care is not mentioned.

Ganke Lee
Ganke Lee
Voiced By: Peter Sohn (Across the Spider-Verse)
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse
Miles's friend and roommate, who's also a fan of Spider-Man.
- Adaptational Curves: Inverted. He's noticeably less fat than his comic counterpart.
- Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: In the comics him and Miles were already close friends, but in this version they meet for the first time at Brooklyn Visions Academy and don't become friends until the end of the film.
- Advertised Extra: Is prominently featured in some of the trailers, but he only appears in a few scenes and doesn't even have a single line in the film.
- Asian and Nerdy: He is a student in a prestigious school and quite a Workaholic. He is also an avid Spider-Man fan and read comic books about him.
- Demoted to Extra: Ganke's a big part of Miles's mythology, but he's relegated to a non-speaking role in Into the Spider-Verse. This is due to a combination of pacing issues and the writers being afraid that Ganke would be mistaken by less informed fans for a knock-off of Ned Leeds, whom he was composited with in the MCU.
- Handshake Substitute: Ganke and Miles fist bump after Miles reveals to him that he's Spider-Man, and as the sound effect above the bump says "Best Buds" it implies that Miles and Ganke's friendship will blossom like it does in the comics.
- Irony: He's seen reading a Spider-Man comic of the possibilities of different dimensions of other Spider-Men existing.
- Secret-Keeper: Ganke sees the unmasked Spider-Gang, including his roommate Miles, clinging to a wall in his room. He immediately passes out and they tuck him into bed. In the epilogue narrated by Miles, he shows that he unmasked himself to Ganke, revealing his secret identity rather than trying to pass it off as a dream.
- Smart People Wear Glasses: Wears glasses and attends a prestigious school.
- Suddenly Speaking: He has a small speaking role in the sequel, while he had no lines in the first film.
- Take That!: Explicitly avoids getting involved with Miles' crimefighting, stating that he doesn't want to become his guy in a chair.
- The Voiceless: Ganke can talk, but he has no lines during the first movie. Subverted in the second film where he finally talks.
Fisk Family (*Spoilers*)
Vanessa Marianna Fisk and Richard Fisk
Vanessa voiced by: Lake Bell Foreign VAs
Richard voiced by: Unknown Foreign VAs
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse
"Wilson? What are you doing?"
The deceased wife and son of Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin.
- Adaptational Heroism: While Vanessa in the comics disapproved of Wilson being a crime boss, she still stayed with him for some time. Here, Vanessa leaves Fisk immediately after finding out he's a criminal.
- Due to dying when still a child, Richard never becomes the criminal Rose in this continuity.
- Age Lift: Richard was an adult in the main 616 continuity, as well as most other versions. This incarnation is a child, much like his appearance in The Punisher MAX.
- Composite Character: Kingpin being led to investigate The Multiverse in search for alternate, alive versions of his family mirrors what 616-Miles Morales goes through in Spider-Men II with Fisk's family playing the part of Miles' beloved wife Barbara.
- Death by Adaptation: Compared to both of their 616 selves as they died earlier and given the story is set in a universe where Miles replaces a dead Peter, Vanessa's Ultimate self was merely in a coma.
- Dead Alternate Counterpart: Inverted in their case; they are dead in the "main" universe, so Fisk wants to replace them with living alternate counterparts.
- Death of a Child: Richard died in the same accident which killed his mother and was only a child when it happened.
- Driver Faces Passenger: Vanessa is too focused on comforting Richard while fleeing from Fisk that she didn't even realize she drove into an oncoming car, which cost them both their lives.
- Hero-Worshipper: According to Wilson's monologue at the gala "honoring" Peter Parker, Richard Fisk loved Spider-Man. Given that the discovery of his father being a crime boss who fought Spider-Man leaves him stunned and upset, there's good chance that Fisk is being honest about that.
- Locked Out of the Loop: It seems like in this depiction, neither Vanessa nor Richard were aware of Fisk's identity as a ruthless crime lord and enemy of Spider-Man. They discover this when they walk in on Fisk during an attempt to kill Spider-Man years ago, and are so shocked at what they see that Vanessa takes Richard and immediately flees... only to drive into a collision which costs them both their lives.
- Morality Pet: They were enough of one each that when they discover Fisk's true nature, Fisk is horrified at what they saw him doing and immediately takes to pleading with them not to leave. When the Super-Collider starts folding universes on top of one another and Fisk starts seeing images of Vanessa and Richard from alternate realities, he begs for them to recognise him and not be afraid.
- Mythology Gag: One of the Alternate Universe versions of his son that get glimpsed at appears to be a young Matthew Murdock. One What If? story saw Wilson Fisk adopt Murdock after the death of his father.
- Posthumous Character: Both are long dead by the time the events of the film take place. However, in Spider-Man's lair, we briefly see an image of what appears to be The Rose, Richard Fisk's villainous alter-ego from the comics, which could be an intentional hint that Richard survived the crash.
- Replacement Goldfish: Invoked. Fisk is attempting to search The Multiverse for alternate still-living versions of them so that he can have his family back.
- Small Role, Big Impact: They are the entire reason the plot of the film kicks off. If they hadn't died, Fisk would never have commissioned the building of the Super-Collider, which would mean that the Peter Parker of his universe never would have tried to stop him due to the potential damage it could do to the world, Fisk never would have killed Parker, thus ensuring Miles's desire to live up to his legacy, and the other Spiders never would have been pulled from their realities.
- Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: As seen in comparison to the photo, Vanessa is normally built and quite attractive compared to her massive, egg-shaped husband.

Mary Jane Watson (Alternate Universe)
Mary Jane Watson
Voiced By: Zoë Kravitz
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse note | Across the Spider-Verse
"She wanted kids and... and it scared me. I'm pretty sure I broke her heart."
—Peter B. Parker
The ex-wife of Peter B. Parker.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: She has blue eyes instead of green here just like Kirsten Dunst's portrayal of Mary Jane.
- Age Lift: Much like her universe's Peter, she would be at least in her late 30s by now (if the same age as her Peter, at least 38), making her the oldest depiction of Mary Jane outside of the Spider-Girl comics.
- Alternate Self: To the Mary Jane Watson of Miles's universe. Despite being older, the two women look almost identical and have lived similar life experiences to a point.
- Ambiguously Jewish: Either Peter was Jewish, he married her according to her customs, or they included a Jewish tradition for another reason.
- Happily Married:
- Subverted. She and Peter B start off as a strong, married couple but over time their relationship became testy which was not helped by bad financial investments, Aunt May dying, and a mid-life crisis over his reluctance to have kids. This led to them divorcing. By the end of the film, he's determined to give their relationship another chance and not make the same mistakes he did earlier.
- Played completely straight in Across the Spider-Verse as she and Peter are shown to have a great home life with their daughter Mayday.
- Love Cannot Overcome: She loved Peter but he wasn't always there for her, and his fear of having children led to a depressive spiral that ended their marriage. However, the epilogue between the two implies that she still cares for him, and upon opening the door and seeing Peter with flowers her face shows a hopeful smile.
- One True Love: Although divorced, Peter still loves her and the feeling that he permanently messed it up factors into his decision to be the one to destroy the Super-Collider and remain stranded in Miles's universe. Miles stepping up as the new Spider-Man gives him the opportunity to go back and have another chance at a life with her.
- The Voiceless: She appears in Peter B.'s introductory montage and again when he returns to his universe but never says a word. Subverted in Across the Spider-Verse where she does have lines and is shown to have the same voice as the Mary Jane of Miles' universe.

Peter Parker / The Lizard
Peter Parker / The Lizard
Voiced By: Jack Quaid
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse | Across the Spider-Verse
The Peter Parker from Gwen Stacy's reality, he became a creature known only as the Lizard and died during a battle with his friend.
- Alternate Self: A version of Peter Parker who became the Lizard, which is usually an identity held by Curt Connors on other Earths.
- Dead Alternate Counterpart: Like the Peter of Miles' universe, he is this to his counterparts.
- For Want Of A Nail: (Possibly) The only Peter Parker who didn't become Spider-Man.
- I Let Gwen Stacy Die: His death is why Gwen is so closed off to people during the film.
- Lizard Folk: In this universe, he injects himself with a serum that transforms him into a mindless lizard monster.
- Posthumous Character: He’s been dead for around two years before the start of the film.
George Stacy
George Stacy
Voiced By: Shea Whigham
Appearances: Into the Spider-Verse note | Across the Spider-Verse
Gwen's father whose life she saved at one point.
- Action Dad: He's a police officer so it's implied he is this, though his only appearance shows Gwen saving his life.
- Ascended Extra: He appears only as a cameo in the first film but is given a lot more characterization and plays an important role in Gwen's character development in the second film.
- Doomed by Canon: Literally. As a police captain who's a close ally of a Spider-person, he's fated to die one way or another according to Miguel's perspective on "canon events". He almost died to a bullet in a flashback in the first film, and he's almost killed by a falling helicopter in the second. It's ultimately defied, however, as Gwen's decision to reveal her secret identity to her father affects him so much that he decides to quit the force, essentially 'changing' his supposedly inevitable fate.
- Early-Bird Cameo: He appears in Gwen's flashback in Into the Spider-Verse while he will get a speaking role in Across the Spider-Verse.
- Small Role, Big Impact: George Stacy has maybe a few minutes at most in Across the Spider-Verse but him quitting the police force due to his conflicting feelings towards Gwen's Secret Identity reveal and his duty is what proves to be the biggest proof to Gwen that you can Screw Destiny and alter canon events for the better in spite of Miguel's proclamations, which convinces Gwen to help Miles save his dad.
- To Be Lawful or Good: His moral dilemma once he finds out that his daughter is the Spider-Woman he's been chasing after all along. He initially chooses to be lawful and decides to bring Gwen in, but is stopped by Miguel and Jessica before he does so. By the time Gwen returns to her universe, enough time has passed for George to reconsider his choices and deciding to quit the force entirely, and he and Gwen finally reconcile with each other.
- Two First Names: "George" and "Stacy" are both common first names.
- The Voiceless: He has no lines in the first movie. Subverted in the second movie where he has dialogue and is an important part of Gwen's story.
