!!Morales/Davis Family
[[folder:Jefferson Morales]]
!!Jefferson Morales, née Davis
[[quoteright:314:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrmorales_470.jpg]]
Born Jefferson Davis, Miles' father has a shady past that he left behind him before he met Miles' mother, Rio. Although occasionally gruff and outspoken, he is nevertheless a gentle man proud and supportive of his son. Unfortunately, those same feelings are not directed towards Spider-Man, or indeed all those other filthy mutants making trouble and getting people hurt.
----
* AbusiveParents: Jefferson and his brother Aaron were raised by a total deadbeat of a man who saw his sons as liabilities. Part of why Jefferson decided to take Rio's name was to promise himself that he wouldn't turn out like his dad, and he's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone visibly horrified]] when he does repeat his father's mistakes with Miles.
* AngerBornOfWorry: Following the entire cast's transplant to Earth-616, his more intense moments come less from a [[FantasticRacism disdain of superheroes in general]] and more [[AdultFear the various ways Miles could get hurt in these situations]].
* TheArtifact: His name, shared with the leader of the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Confederate States of America]], has gradually become one of these now that the FantasticRacism part of his character has largely been phased out.
* BadassNormal: In his youth, he got noticed by small-time gangster Turk after trashing five of his enforcers ''by himself''. Which in turn gets him noticed by Nick Fury and later [[spoiler: the eventual Kingpin, Wilson Fisk.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a nice guy, but his past as a former criminal gave him the skills to handle himself in a fight if he has to.
* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Jefferson's own father was the man who sent him and Aaron on the paths to becoming criminals, and describes some [[AbusiveParents intense emotional abuse]] when he was a little boy simply for stealing candy instead of something worth the senior Davis's time. Jefferson is determined to be a better father to Miles, and he and Rio decided to give Miles [[NomDeMom his mother's name]] as a way to symbolically distance his son from that part of his life.
* CharacterDevelopment: Introduced as a gruff, bigoted man whose only soft spot is for his middle-school aged son, Jefferson gradually unlearns his prejudices and becomes a genuine source of support for Miles.
* DarkAndTroubledPast:
** He's had one, implied to be some kind of super-criminal. [[spoiler: It turns out he was a member of [[QuirkyMinibossSquad The Enforcers.]] He was recruited by Nick Fury to be a super-gangster in order to gain Wilson Fisk's trust.]]
** He also did some dealings with Roxxon before Miles was born, which ended with his being run out of whatever business he was engaged in.
** He and his brother, Aaron, used to steal watches and jewelry at the place where he now practices Yoga at with his wife. The irony of it is not lost on him.
* GoodParents: May be stern sometimes, but has shown to legitimately love his kid and do anything for him. [[spoiler:Until he learns Miles is Spider-Man.]] Though he eventually comes to terms with it, and is even supportive of it.
* GrumpyOldMan: Not that old, but he sure acts like it. In his earliest appearances, he will rant about ''anything''. He gradually becomes less extreme on this front, but it never leaves his characterization completely.
* HiddenDepths: The fact that Rio saw these is why they got married. [[spoiler:It takes a dark turn in the 17th and 18th issues--this hapless, grumpy man instinctively guns down several rebel soldiers in cold blood, after one of them kills a cop in front of him.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Implied to be the reason why Rio married him. He's gruff and has a temper, but he's a dutiful parent to Miles and will do anything for him.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Never vocalized, but you can see his expression of regret when he hit Miles.]]
* NiceGuy: Is apparently a very gentle person, opinions and attitude aside, and put aside his criminal past long before he married Rio. It's especially played up after he and the rest of the cast as transplanted to the main Marvel Universe, where it's clear that his M. O. is (and, by power of CosmicRetcon, always has been) doing right by his kid.
* NobleBigot: He believes mutants and other empowered humans are destructive, dangerous, and need to go. Since this is the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, [[CrapsackWorld his argument has more weight than in most books]]. It is this attitude that discourages Miles from confiding in his father. As the series progresses, he gradually unlearns this prejudice, though he's still uneasy about [[AdultFear the various ways his son could get hurt]].
** [[spoiler: Miles unmasked himself to reveal his identity and Jefferson was pissed (although its stated partly to be because he was working with SHIELD, with whom he has a past with). He went as far as to actually hit Miles which is poignant because as far as issue 2, he never laid hands on Miles until then. He immediately regrets it and becomes torn when he watches his son save people after a plane crashes in front of his neighborhood. He soon disappeared and didn't return for months.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He looks like Mos Def.
* PapaWolf: To his detriment--he picks a fight with the army when they refused to let him into the area he lived in (due to an attack-scare), and that got him arrested (in war-time, to boot). [[spoiler:Taken UpToEleven when Hydra rescues them; when one of the Hydra men guns down a policeman in cold blood, Jefferson goes into a fit of anxiety over how his family and home are being threatened and instinctively grabs a rifle and guns down all the Hydra soldiers around.]] That said, it's also put to more noble uses on occasion, such as teaming up with Aaron to rescue Miles from [[MadScientist the Assessor]] in ''ComicBook/MilesMoralesSpiderMan #9''.
** When Ultimatum’s goons surround, him, Rio, and his newborn daughter, Jefferson opts to run away and get chased in order to make an opening for Rio and Billie to get away.
* ParentalAbandonment: Has disappeared after [[spoiler:Miles revealed his identity to him and doesn't reappear for months.]] When he finally returns, he is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified by his past actions]] and apologizes, finally explaining his DarkAndTroubledPast [[spoiler:as a criminal and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent]] to his son and re-committing himself to being the best parent he can be.
* RenamedToAvoidAssociation: InUniverse; he changed his name from UsefulNotes/JeffersonDavis because as a black man, having the same name as a slaveowning Confederate president made him uncomfortable.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: [[spoiler:After being recruited by Wilson Fisk (years before he became The Kingpin), Jefferson becomes a part of Fisk's personal goon squad - The Enforcers. Unlike the others, he doesn't have a particular gimmick (like Fancy Dan's [[WhipItGood skills with a whip]]) or [[DumbMuscle size on his side]] (like Ox)... he's just really good in a fight.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler: Nick Fury had him act as an undercover agent of SHIELD to infiltrate the Kingpin's organization 25 years ago.]]
* ThatManIsDead: He changed his last name to his wife's instead of the other way around, which is very rare in the US. Given his attitude towards his background, it was likely an effort to separate himself from his past. It is revealed that the reason he didn't bestow his son with his former last name was because Jefferson and Aaron's father was a man who criticized his kids for shoplifting candy, not because it was wrong too, but for not stealing something worth his while. He also was abusive. Jefferson felt that Miles should not have his name.
* UnfortunateNames: Before marrying Rio, he shared his name with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Davis a Confederate president]], something he was never comfortable with as a black man.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: His face is rather worn, and with certain artists may appear almost wrinkled. But he otherwise looks like a fit young man. He is implied to be in his early 40's. If the "Newark, 25 Years Ago" is any indication, he was a young man in the late 1980's/early 1990's, but owing to ComicBookTime, it's hard to put an exact number on ''anyone's'' ages.

[[folder:Rio Morales]]
!!Rio Morales
[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rio_morales_earth-1610_003_9579.jpg]]

Miles' mother, who married Jefferson after he had put his criminal past to rest. Like Jefferson, she is proud of and caring to Miles, always willing to listen to his problems. She is more open-minded than her husband, and finds heroes like that new Spider-Man to be very cool.
----
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:At the end of ''ComicBook/UltimateEnd'', Miles wakes up in the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel Universe and finds his mother waiting for him, telling him to wake up. He tearfully hugs her tightly.]]
* ComicBookDeath: [[spoiler:She gets shot dead by accident during Miles' fight with the second Venom. Eventually, Molecule Man brought her back from the dead as a way of thanking Miles for [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe showing Molecule Man the first act of kindness he's gotten in years]].]]
* DeathAmnesia: Thanks to Molecule Man's CosmicRetcon, all of the characters in the cast have had their memories slightly warped to integrate them into Earth-616, but Rio's death seems to be omitted entirely (and her learning her son's secret identity in the lead-up to that). The only character who's brought it up (much to Miles' confusion) is ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool. Later on, Miles' LetsYouAndHimFight moment with the main universe's version of ComicBook/{{Venom}} stems from Miles having vague memories of Venom "hurting" his mother.
* GenreSavvy: When she finds her husband at home frozen in shock with a gun in his lap, she doesn't jump to conclusions or make any obvious accusations. The questions she does ask are chillingly pointed and almost knowing. [[spoiler:Granted, she was wrong about him starting a fight or joining his Hydra rescuers, but she was right in knowing something very violent happened.]]
* GoodParents: Always supported Miles and did everything she could to make her boy [[spoiler:and more recently, her baby daughter Billie]] happy.
* GratuitousSpanish: She's Puerto Rican, and occasionally mixes Spanish words into her dialogue, but unlike true Spanglish, they are all usually words that the English-speaking readers will easily pick up on.
* HiddenDepths: When Diamondback came back from death and reporters asked people who knew of the history between Luke Cage and Willas Lucas(Diamondback), she was one of the people who not only knew of their history, but apparently knew Diamondback and Luke Cage personally.
--> '''Rio Morales:''' As I recall, that boy(Diamondback) used to play with knives. He and Carl Lucas, that is his name by the way, his real name...
* HospitalHottie: Happens to be a nurse, and is very good-looking. After she finds out Miles' identity, she uses her position in the hospital to offer her son aid while also keeping his name off the records.
* MamaBear:
** Rio busting caps into a 15 feet tall Venom to save her son. This becomes a HeroicSacrifice, but she gets better.
** Later on, she's ready to throw hands with her brother-in-law, an ex-supervillain, when she believes one of his "criminal buddies" has hurt Miles.
** When she learns Ultimatum has abducted Miles, she gets ''very'' angry.
* OpenMindedParent:
** Unlike her husband, she likes the idea of superheroes and thinks they do important work for the world.
** [[spoiler: Was not angry that Miles was Spider-Man or really worried about his safety. She was angry that he and Jefferson essentially lied to her. Otherwise, she fully supports her son's superheroism.]]
* ParentsAsPeople: She becomes worried about Miles' but ultimately respects his privacy, but can't help to get curious when her mother hired Jessica Jones to investigate him. [[spoiler: When she does learn that Miles is Spider-man, she feels betrayed by both Miles and Jefferson that they kept the secret from her. She even leaves the home for awhile. She eventually forgives them, and expresses pride in knowing that her son is helping people.]]
* TheRealHeroes: She's the head nurse at Brooklyn University Hospital, and her determination to save lives using her medical skills is treated as equally noble as her son doing the same with his spider powers. In the first issue of Creator/SaladinAhmed's run on Miles' comic, Miles describes Rio as the most heroic person in his life.
* Main/MumLooksLikeASister
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: She had no negative qualities. All she did was be a loving mother to her son and understanding and loving wife. [[spoiler: Thus making her death being this trope. She gets better.]]

[[folder:Gloria Morales]]
!!Gloria Morales
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rco017_1.jpg]]
Miles' maternal grandma. She came to straight him up. Don't mess with her!
----
* ApronMatron: If Rio is a strict mother, Gloria is even more.
* DeathGlare: She gave one to Jefferson after giving her ultimatum to Miles.
* EntertaininglyWrong: After Miles' grades start to tank, Gloria becomes obsessed in her pet theory that Miles has somehow started doing and/or selling drugs, and she will bark it at anyone who will listen (including poor confused Lana, who leaves the Morales doorway with a few more acronyms to Google).
* GratuitousSpanish: Like her daughter and grandson, she's bilingual, but most of her Spanglish is confined to words that the English-speaking readers can easily pick up on.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Even if she's wrong about the details, she has a point that Miles needs to focus more on his studies.
* MyBelovedSmother: Rio can't bring herself to reign Gloria in after it becomes clear that she's crossing the line in trying to set Miles on the straight and narrow, to Jefferson's growing frustration.
* MythologyGag: One of her first lines is "Face it, ''tigre''", invoking [[ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson another Spider-Man supporting character]].
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Gloria blames every personal shortcoming Miles shows on Jefferson and has no qualms speaking ill of the late Aaron Davis. Jefferson once told Rio that the thing he loves most about her is the fact that she was able to overcome Gloria's parenting.

[[folder:Billie Mariana Morales (Spoilers)]]
!!Billie Mariana Morales
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e14094c9_59d8_4c7c_a3ee_133687c2b01c.jpeg]]

Miles’ newborn baby sister.
----
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Has this affect on Miles. Even after going through several bleak situations such as rescuing kidnapped immigrant kids who were being trafficked, an escalated gang war, and being kidnapped and tortured himself, Miles thinks of Billie as a source happiness in his otherwise dangerous and stressful life.
* BabyLanguage: She routinely says 'goo.'
* BadassAndBaby: While babysiiting Billie, Miles had to do some Spider-man business. He didn't want to leave his baby sister alone so he webbed up a baby sling to carry little Billie in. She seemed to love it.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Billie as in jazz legend Music/BillieHoliday, like her brother's naming connection to Music/MilesDavis.

[[folder:Aaron Davis / The Prowler / Iron Spider II]]
!!Aaron Davis[=/=]The Prowler[=/=]Iron Spider II
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prowler.jpg]]
Miles' uncle, estranged from his father. Aaron was a small-time thief with Miles' father in his youth. While Miles' father got out of the trade before he met Miles' mother, Aaron never went straight, eventually becoming the high-tech super-criminal known as the Prowler. When Aaron discovered that his nephew was the new Spider-Man, he took Miles under his wing to help him take down his rival, the Scorpion, a decision that cost Aaron his life and would haunt Miles long afterwards. Years later, Aaron [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 somehow]] came back from the dead, and, feeling like he was out of options, bought an Iron Spider suit off the black market and resumed his life of crime. Miles, now a few years older, is determined to both save the city from this villain and his uncle from himself.
----
* AmnesiacResonance: [[spoiler:Same as Miles, he doesn't remember the Ultimate Universe until 616!Miles reminds him.]]
* AntiVillain: After saving Miles from the Assessor, he was forced to go back to crime after making a deal with Ceres to do jobs for her in return of paying her back for the suit.
* BadassLongcoat: Which he wears over his skintight suit, seemingly just for the aesthetic.
* BadassNormal: It's clear that the Prowler is a very skilled fighter, being able take Spider-Man hand-to-hand. He's also very fit and skilled, being able to adapt to and use a wide range of mechanics and devices that require large amounts of athleticism.
* BlackSheep: His brother (Miles's dad) went straight a long time ago and his nephew is Spider-Man.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: He loves Miles dearly and his main reason for turning his life around is to be the man Miles once thought him to be again. He muses that, in his Prowler days, he spent so much time trying to get Miles to be more aggressive with his powers, but in fact, he could've stood to learn a few things from his timid, gentle nephew.
* ChronicVillainy: He makes his debut as the villain Prowler, and dies. He later comes back to life and acquires an Iron Spider armor to continue his crimes. Spider-Man tries to talk him out of it, and he eventually concedes that he's right. Then he's forced to make a deal with Ceres Goldstein to become the Prowler ''again'' in exchange for gear and information to help him rescue Miles from [[MadScientist the Assessor]].
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His work clothes, which include at least finger lasers. He'll also slip into any powered armor, etc. that's handy.
* CombatPragmatist: He uses lasers in a fist fight, and is not above electrocuting and shredding enemies with a mass-razor launcher in order to facilitate an escape.
* ComicBookDeath: Along with Rio, he came back to life as well, but everyone including Miles, has assumed that he is dead. Unlike Rio, who has no memory of dying, Aaron ''does'' remember his death, but has no idea how it was undone.
* CoolUncle: For the first thirteen years of Miles Morales' life, he has nothing but positive memories of Aaron, often seeing him as the better alternative to his aloof and often grumpy father Jefferson. This falls apart once Aaron learns his nephew is Spider-Man, and he tries to make Miles into a villain too. In more recent storylines, a revived Aaron has vowed to redeem himself and earn that place in Miles' heart again.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: Turns out Scorpion has impenetrable skin. That whole "revenge stabbing" thing was not a good idea, in hindsight.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In the Ultimate Universe, Aaron started off as the counterpart to Hobie Brown, serving as his Universe's Prowler. After being brought back to life and now in the main universe, Aaron changes his identity to become the Iron Spider, after stealing the suit. [[ZigZagged And then]] he becomes the Prowler again, though admittedly after Hobie had abandoned the identity and not by Aaron's own choice (he just needs the gear in order to save Miles from another villain).
* EvilCounterpart:
** Thematically, he's this to Uncle Ben. Both he and Ben are friendly uncles to Spider-Man and act as a mentor. In the end, Aaron is a manipulative ass who tries to exploit Miles and his friendliness is conditional. His favorite way of gaslighting his nephew is to assert that Miles has a [[ArcWords responsibility]] to his family.
** He then becomes a literal evil counterpart when he returns as the Iron Spider, which imitates some of Miles' powers.
* EvilMentor: Decides that his nephew needs guidance -- so that he'll be ready to take out the Scorpion, who stands in the Prowler's way.
* HonorBeforeReason: For a certain value of "Honor". After the Scorpion's goons got a little too up-close-and-personal with him during their business transaction, he tries to kill the Scorpion in revenge once the Scorpion calls them off, instead of just finishing their business.
* HeelFaceTurn:
** Aaron Davis, the Prowler went from being Miles's arch-enemy to a sometimes ally and regular part of his cast, no doubt fueled by the film adaptation ''Into the Spider-Verse'' and video game ''Spider-Man: Miles Morales''. Aaron and Jefferson have this GoodAngelBadAngel dynamic with Miles; Jefferson encouraging Miles to stay on the right path with heroics and school, and Aaron being there to nuture Miles's creativity.
** In ''Spider-Man'' #240, he [[HeelRealization concedes]] that Miles was right all along and switches sides. When he resurfaces, he's sold the Iron Spider suit back to its [[ComicBook/IronMan creator]] and used the money to build an honest life for himself. He and his nephew awkwardly but sincerely re-establish the bond they had when Miles was younger, and he is doing everything in his power to avoid getting dragged back into crime. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, when Miles is in mortal danger, he's forced to become the Prowler again, getting his gear back in exchange for doing Ceres Goldstein some favors.]]
* HotBlooded: He makes some stupid decisions as a result. Trying to use a hold-out device as a regular weapon (it's one-use, hence the "hold-out" part), and threatening the Tinkerer when it doesn't work (he had specified that it was a "getaway jacket" and nothing else), and then immediately killing Tinkerer, ''the guy who makes his equipment'' because the Tinkerer gave him some generic information regarding Spider-Man's origins and Aaron apparently thought it was too sensitive to let him live. [[spoiler:This becomes his undoing. Miles and he get into a fight and his recklessness (namely his using a sonic gauntlet in a fight even after seeing it get badly damaged) and disregard for anybody but himself and his own desires gets himself killed.]] Thankfully, he's cooled down in later stories, learning from his previous mistakes.
* MoralityPet: He and Miles actually get along very well, Miles hanging out at his place when he needs to get away from his parents. For his part, Aaron makes sure to keep his criminal activities out of sight and is otherwise a doting uncle, being very encouraging when discovering Miles won the lottery for being accepted in the school. [[SubvertedTrope That gets thrown out the window]] early on once he finds out Miles is the new Spider-Man, at which point [[PoisonousFriend he quickly makes plans to exploit him]].
** Later, it's revealed that the reason he was doing crime in the first place was because he was trying to pay off cancer treatment for his then girlfriend and support his son, though both the girlfriend and child were eventually retconned out.
** Later, he only becomes the Prowler again when it's his only option for saving Miles from the Assessor.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: While robbing Oscorp, a genetically engineered spider, very similar to the one that bit Peter, snuck out of its holding chamber and into his bag, later biting Miles when he came over to visit and creating the second Spider-Man.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Claimed this about Miles with [[spoiler:his dying words]].
-->'''Aaron:''' How about... that? You are... just... like me.
* OhCrap: The Scorpion provides an extended one for him, once it becomes more and more apparent just how dangerous he is. Eventually he's just plain terrified of Scorpion.
* PoisonousFriend: He claims that he's just trying to train Miles out of familial care, but he's manipulative and cruel about it, blackmailing Miles and maintaining that Miles owes him for the powers. It's also clear that Miles is at least in part a tool to get rid of the Scorpion.
* StarterVillain: For Miles Morales. His familial and emotional connection with Miles make him a far more personal threat than most and he gives Miles the most trouble as he's first starting out.
* SternTeacher: Once he starts trying to get Miles to fulfill his potential. Which he does so by intimidating him and beating him up, though granted Aaron was [[TeachHimAnger planning on Miles' powers to make this backfire on himself]].
* TeachHimAnger: He tries to get Miles to stop holding back as Spider-Man this way. He later realizes that he could stand to be taught some compassion from his nephew.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: From the [[GadgeteerGenius the Tinkerer]], of course. Unfortunately, he kills the Tinkerer early on, forcing him pilfer the Tinkerer's stash. Later, he gets an Iron Spider suit from the black market, and a new Prowler suit from Ceres Goldstein.

[[folder:Ganke Lee]]
!!Ganke
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2026602-ganke_3595.jpg]]

Miles' best friend. A self-confessed Franchise/{{Lego}} geek and like Miles, a borderline ChildProdigy.
----
* AerithAndBob: Asian or not, "Ganke" is just a plain weird name. It's to the point where all the first hits on Google return pages about this character.
* AscendedFanboy: Averted, as with Miles. Neither of them seem to be more than passingly familiar with Spider-Man. However, Ganke gets into it quick enough, and thoroughly researches his history to get some context about Miles' own powers.
* AsianAndNerdy: He's of Korean descent and obsessed with LEGO and comics.
* BigFun: Is ''much'' more laid-back than Miles, and seemingly more outgoing. It's implied that he can be a bit of a shut-in, though.
* ChekhovsSkill: While it isn't made explicit, LEGO and building blocks are actually typically owned by chemists [[note]]many chemists and biologists will tell you that LEGO expertise can be helpful for any prospective chemists. Being able to visualize and construct complex structures is a very important part of designing chemical reactions. Almost all chemistry students require molecular model sets, which are essentially LEGO but with rods and balls instead of bricks, to practice with.[[/note]] Miles apparently has no head for chemistry, and tasks Ganke with reverse engineering Peter's spider-web formula.
* ChildProdigy: Possibly more so than Miles, who had to get into his (highly competitive) charter-school on a lottery rather than on merit like Ganke. Miles says at one point that he needs Ganke for his brain.
* DareToBeBadass: Ganke was rather enthusiastic when Miles gained his powers and pushed him to be a superhero when Miles didn't want to.
* FatBestFriend: Almost exactly a Type A as described on the trope page (gregarious and laid-back).
%%* FunTShirt
* GenreBlind: Ganke is a pretty bad liar, shown with how he (and Miles) constantly tell terribly obvious lies to their roommate Judge in regards to Miles' constant disappearances, causing him to have a falling out with them. He's also a little too boisterous and enthusiastic about Miles' hero life, causing him to openly (and sometimes a bit too loudly) talk about Miles' exploits in public, despite Miles constantly pleading for him to not do that or at least keep his voice down.
** In Miles Morales: Spider-Man novel, Ganke repeatedly gets Miles to relish his superpowers and show off with them by getting him involved in a dunk contest for money with some streetball players and coercing Miles to join a dance competition. The latter ended in violence.
** He breaks taboo and tells others that Miles is Spider-Man or he knows who Spider-Man is.
* GenreSavvy: Very much so, compared to Miles. Instead of letting Miles learn haphazard while on patrol, he buys some readily available live footage of Peter as Spider-Man to crib off of. He also makes the rather gloomy call that Miles needs to get better than the original fast. If all Peter's experience couldn't keep him alive, what could Miles hope to do?
** It pays off when Miles has to face Norman Osborn, [[spoiler:the man who killed Peter Parker.]] Due to Ganke's prodding, Miles has an idea of what to expect when fighting him and ends up ''[[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping him]]'' while delivering a cathartic ShutUpHannibal speech.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Made more apparent after the TimeSkip. He expressed interest before it, but nowadays, if he is not discussing LEGO or Spider-Man related stuff, he is talking about attractive women and how to get with them. He eventually ''does'' get with Gwen Stacy.
** However, it does come of as HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday? Considering Miles Mother and Girlfriend thought he was gay and he does show signs of being jealous of Katie.
** Bites him in the ass as he chases down a girl who just happens to be a fan of Miles and is using him to get closer to Miles.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Part of his enthusiasm about Miles being a superhero is that he also wants to become one as well.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: It is pronounced Gone-Kay.
* KitschCollection: He collects LEGO sets. He even waited in line to collect a limited edition Triskelion Captain America being inaugurated as President. He was extremely bummed when it sold out.
* LikesOlderWomen: He thinks Spider-Woman is sexy and was kissed on the lips by Gwen Stacy, both of whom are biologically at least three years older than him.
* LooseLips: Cannot keep a secret if his life depended on it. He intentionally revealed Miles identity to Goldballs without Miles' permission. After getting scolded by both Miles and Goldballs for being insensitive and told that it was not his secret to reveal, he then goes to hang out with the girl who is a huge fan of Miles. When he starts dating her, she gets annoyed because Ganke won't tell her his real name. While defending himself, he blurts out Miles name again.
-->'''Danika:''' Are you embarrassed about me?
-->'''Ganke:''' No! Opposite. But--That's--That's why I want to do this right. Miles has been such an Amazing Friend to--(realizing his mistake and quickly shuts up)
--> '''(Beat)'''
-->'''Danika:''' I can pretend I didn't hear it.
* MissionControl: Of a more light hearted variety. He isn't on comms or anything, but does let Miles know if there is danger afoot. He also assists Miles in finding bad guys like the time he provided a lead into the child kidnapping that Miles was looking into by scouring the online black market to look for who purchased who purchased the uniforms that gave the kids powers.
* MistakenForGay: Just like Miles, everyone assumes he's gay, although he's dating Danika Hart. He constantly talks about other women.
* MuggleBestFriend: The first person Miles tells about his newly gained Spider powers.
** Wants to be a superhero and vicariously tries to live through Miles.
* MyParentsAreDead: Ganke offhandedly mentions that his dad died as a way to reassure Miles that he will have his back just as Miles did when his parent died.
** Retconned in the transition to the 616 Universe. His parents are just divorced.
* MythologyGag: His use of 'Ned' as an alias while dating Danika may be an allusion to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse version of Ned Leeds, who is [[InNameOnly essentially]] [[CompositeCharacter Ganke with Ned's name attached]].
* OnlySaneMan: Points out that while the world is going to hell in a handbasket, Spider-Man killing the Prowler should not be headline news.
* ParentalIssues: His parents are divorced in Miles Morales: Spider-man. So this causes numerous problems for him.
** His parents are very awkward around each other so when they do have dinner together or his mother alone, it creates a weird atmosphere so Ganke routinely skips out and eats with the Morales family.
** When tasked with an assignment that involves finding out the meaning of his name, he is afraid to ask his parents because he is too afraid that it would cause animosity in one of them.
* ProudToBeAGeek: After Ganke's nerd rage over a LEGO collection chases Katie Bishop away, he and Miles have a discussion about being too geeky. Miles states that girls rather not deal with a boy who is too nerdy. Ganke is not too convinced.
--> '''Ganke:''' The right girl will.
** He's eventually right, as he ends up getting a kiss from Gwen Stacy.
* TheSmartGuy: Miles goes to Ganke specifically for his brain. With few clues to go on, Ganke does some impressive cross-referencing, unearthing some obscure news articles linking genetically enhanced spiders to Spidey's own origin.
* WhatTheHellHero: Tears Miles apart for not doing anything when Cloak and Dagger fought Bombshell.

A student at Brooklyn Visions Academy in Miles' class and an aspiring singer. Miles is immediately smitten with her the moment that he lays on her. When Ganke introduces her to Miles, they immediately hit it off and then Miles saves her from a giant robot body part falling from the sky. She becomes more interested in Miles and begins to suspect something is off about him. Regardless, they start to date in Spider-Man #235.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Miles sometimes calls her "B-Rod", but she tells him to cut it out because she can tell he's trying to change the subject when he does it.
** When they were dating, she and Miles called each other pet names in Spanish. She would call him 'Carino' which is Spanish for sweetie.
* AmbiguousSituation: Is Barbara another Earth-1610 transplant like most of the Miles-adjacent characters, or is she an Earth-616 native who just happens to attend BVA? [[spoiler:True, the Earth-616 native Miles Morales loved a woman named Barbara, but she was a blonde named Barbara ''Sanchez'', and Miles-616 eventually found "his" Barbara's Earth-1610 counterpart. This character is the only Barbara Rodriguez that we know of at present.]] Even if she was, thanks to Molecule Man, she would have no way of knowing it, and it's hardly the focus of the stories she appears in.
* AmicableExes: Miles and Barbara's attempt at a relationship is nipped in the bud eleven issues after it begins (in ''Miles Morales: Spider-Man'' #6), but they remain on good terms and make amiable small talk when they run into each other.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Aside from sounding like her according to Ganke, she looks like Music/AliciaKeys when drawn by Sara Pichelli.
* CoolBigSis: She has this sort of relationship with her ten-year-old cousin Eduardo.
* DeadpanSnarker: Seems to enjoy SnarkToSnarkCombat banter with Miles and teases him about rumors of his constant disappearances.
* FirstKiss: She and Miles have theirs in ''Miles Morales: Spider-Man'' #4, after a series of {{almost kiss}}es that kept getting interrupted by Miles vanishing to do some heroics.
* GratuitousSpanish: Dips in and out of Spanish when speaking with Miles on occasion.
* HeadTurningBeauty: {{Subverted}}. Miles has seen Barbara in passing, given that she's a classmate who worked with Ganke on some group project. However, when she catches his eye in ''Spider-Men II'', he's instantly smitten. They banter throughout the miniseries, which concludes with Miles texting her to ask her out.
* ImmigrantParents: Implied that at least of them may be an immigrant. Regardless, her cousin is an undocumented immigrant.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She and Judge are both do not know that Miles is Spider-Man. That said, she's instantly aware that something is ''different'' about Miles after seeing how quickly he reacted to a giant piece of debris from nowhere, and she likes to tease him about his reputation as a flake who keeps vanishing from the school as weird times. Eventually, his constant disappearances take a toll on their relationship, and she breaks up with him soon after.
** SecretSecretKeeper: There are hints that she knows and she just wants Miles to be the one to tell her.
*** in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #3, she teases Miles about Spider-man rescuing her cousin and sarcastically inquired if he knew anything about Spider-man rescuing him. Note that it wasn't just Spider-man but also Captain America and Rhino and in the previous issue, Miles went to her house and declares that he will find her cousin.
*** Miles Morales: Spider-Man #4, on a day she, Miles, and Judge decide to play hooky, there are several instances when Miles disappears to save the day. Each time Miles suspiciously comes back after Spider-man appears, she is completely skeptical of each lie Miles' uses.
*** MM: SM #5, she specifically asks Miles if he is keeping a big secret from her. Gets very annoyed when he acts like he doesn't know what she is talking about.
*** MM: SM #6, she asks again. This time knowing that he is keeping a secret even without confirmation that he is. She tells him that he can trust her.When Miles doesn't say anything, she walks away saying that if he doesn't trust her, what is the point of the relationship.
*** In #11 after Miles and she break-up, she engages in a conversation with Miles, but suddenly compliments Miles' shoes. Seems harmless until one notices that the shoes Miles is wearing are the same exact shoes that he wears in his costume.
* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: Her relationship with Miles is an exercise of this. He does not want to reveal his identity because he was specifically told by everyone in the superhero community that doing so will endanger her in some way. It puts somewhat of a strain in instances where Miles walks off with one of his pretty superheroine friends without so much of an explanation as to whom this person is to Miles, where are they going, and etc.
* NiceHat: Miles first spots her after noticing a distinctive bright pink hat she is wearing. For the rest of Bendis' run, pink is Barbara's identifying color, though she wears more varied colors (and fewer hats) once the new creative team took over.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted and made into a minor plot point. She shares a first name with a woman named Barbara ''Sanchez'', [[spoiler:the one true love of Earth-616's native Miles Morales.]]
* RescueRomance: Not in a damsel distress variety. Miles grabbed her before she was crushed to death by a random flying object. This is where she begins to suspect that he may have powers but not exactly sure what it is. Regardless, she is thankful for whatever he is.
* ReincarnationRomance: Perhaps, or it could just be an inter-dimensional coincidence that two people named Miles Morales have fallen for women named Barbara. [[spoiler:The Miles Morales of Earth-616 loved Barbara ''Sanchez'', and eventually travelled to the restored Earth-1610 to pursue her doppelgänger after his own Barbara's death. Meanwhile, "our" Miles has fallen for this character, Barbara ''Rodriguez'', who, so far as we can tell, is the only person by that name.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's introduced as a classmate of Miles' in ''Spider-Men II'', despite having never been seen before that point. According to Ganke, Miles ''has'' seen her before, but just hasn't paid her much attention. Regardless, Miles quickly falls for her and they begin dating.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Barbara joined the Brooklyn Visions cast of characters in ''Spider-Man'' #234, but from then until the end of Bendis' run, she has very little to do. Most of her page time is dedicated to her watching Miles as he runs off to be Spider-Man. She's fleshed out a bit more in the [[ComicBook/MilesMoralesSpiderMan next run]], further exploring her love for music and introducing her CoolBigSis relationship to her precocious cousin Eduardo and her interest in social justice. Tellingly, this is also where she breaks things off with Miles, as she doesn't want to date someone who is clearly keeping secrets from her.
** Hard to call her a satellite love interest if she has been in almost every comic since Bendis’ departure.
* SecondLove: She is this to Miles, though neither of them know it. Miles did have a girlfriend in his original universe, Katie Bishop, but they broke up shortly after Miles learned that Katie was in league with HYDRA. The multiverse imploded not long after, and when the main Marvel Universe was restored, Miles and his friends and family were transplanted there with their memories re-written to make it seem as though they always lived in the Marvel Universe. As a result, Miles' failed romance with Katie is completely gone from his memories, and as far as he and Barbara know, she is his first real girlfriend.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: She jokes about being one with Miles:
--> '''Barbara:''' ''(sees Miles brooding alone outside in the dark)'' You okay? I saw you out here being a sullen, brooding, teenager and I was compelled to come out because I was raised on ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movies.
* SoapboxSadie: In a sense. She refused to take an oath to turn in any vigilante at her school based on principle ,or that she knows Miles is Spider-Man, even if it meant she lost her starting position on her basketball team. She decides to lead a sit-in which only leads to her, Ganke, and Judge getting arrested.

[[folder:Judge]]
!!Judge
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kudge.jpeg]]
A Haitian-American teen and the original roommate of Miles and Ganke's at Brooklyn Vision Academy. After repeatedly getting locked out of the loop regarding Miles' secret identity, he gets fed up and request a room change. Miles and Judge eventually mend relations and become roommates again.
----
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He appears and disappears sporadically throughout Brian Michael Bendis' run, where his defining trait is mainly his confusion at what is going on with Miles and Ganke. He gets more attention in Saladin Ahmed's run, which shows him as a hammy goofball eager to get his roommates out of their comfort zones. ([[DramaticIrony Oh, if he only knew...]])
* CosmicRetcon: Near the end of ''Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man'', Judge reveals that [[SecretSecretKeeper he always knew that Miles was Spider-Man]]. After everything seemingly got reset after ComicBook/SecretWars2015, he no longer has any recollection of Miles' identity.
* HiddenDepths: He keeps a journal, and finds it a useful stress reliever.
* {{Keet}}: He's endlessly energetic and loves to find ways to make his friends laugh.
* LargeHam: He loves to goof off with Miles and Ganke, sometimes to their (especially [[OnlySaneMan Ganke's]]) chagrin.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He has no idea that one of his roommates is Spider-Man.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Implied. Since he's mainly associated with Miles' school life, his family is almost never mentioned (he's never even been given a last name). So far, the only relative of his we've met is his ''granmè'', which is Creole for "grandmother".

Ganke’s and Miles' school tormenter and classmate. He constantly tries to instigate Miles and has a somewhat classist attitude.
----
* TheBully: Every panel that he appears in, he taunts Ganke and instigates trouble with Miles. In fact, he used to hold kids down during his freshmen year and make them smell his farts.
* RememberTheNewGuy: During his debut, Miles' states that he remembers Sean during his freshmen year.
* TheStoolPigeon: How he bullies Miles. He knows Dutcher has it in for Miles so he is actively trying to get him in trouble and out of the school because he doesn't think Miles' "type" belongs in school.

[[folder:Fabio Medina / Goldballs]]

!!'''Fabio Medina / Goldballs'''

After quitting the X-Men and returning home, Fabio Medina ends up transferring to Brooklyn Vision Academy and quickly becomes Miles and Ganke's new roommate after the latter outs Miles' identity to him.
----
* GreenEyedMonster: Develops a bit of this towards Miles due to Lana's crush on him and him blowing her off.
* HopelessSuitor: Towards Lana. He develops a crush on her but it becomes quickly apparent that she has eyes for Miles instead, who in turn sees her as just a friend and has begun romancing Barbara.
* PutOnABus: Gets more or less written out of the 2018 relaunch of the book. In issue #24 of ''ComicBook/Champions2016'', Fabio ends up the victim of a School Shooting at Vision Academy and it's implied that he ends up getting pulled out of school because of it. From there, he joins the cast of ComicBook/XMen as penned by [[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansXMen Jonathan Hickman]].
* SecretKeeper: Admittedly not by choice; Ganke decided to take it upon himself to out Miles as Spider-Man to Fabio because he thinks it would be to Miles' benefit for another superpowered student to know about him.

[[folder:Vice Principal Lyle Dutcher]]
!!'''Lyle Dutcher'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dutcher2.jpg]]
The new Vice Principal of Brooklyn Visions Academy, who has a personal vendetta against Miles Morales, whom he sees as a troublemaker and a bad influence on the other students. Ironically, he has nothing but respect for the Brooklyn Spider-Man.
----
* DeanBitterman: He's very open about his dislike for Miles, loudly assuring our hero that he (Dutcher) is ''not'' an idiot and has his eye on this menace to his school. He's even cast in the Dean Rooney role in the WholePlotReference story "[[Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff Miles Morales' Day Off]]".
* {{Expy}}: What J. Jonah Jameson is to Peter Parker, Vice Principal Dutcher is to Miles Morales - a loud, irascible blowhard who has a talent for making our hero's life harder by insisting that he is up to no good. That said, it's not a 1:1 comparison: Jonah is a respected public figure and largely considered to be a good (if intense) boss. Dutcher, on the other hand, is everyone's least favorite co-worker among the Brooklyn Visions Academy staff.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Among the BVA faculty. The other teachers and administrators don't get his irrational obsession with this one kid, and they especially aren't happy when he interferes with them doing their work because of it.
* HatesMySecretIdentity: He sees Brooklyn's Spider-Man as a respectable young man who recognizes the importance of [[LegacyCharacter tradition]], [[ComesGreatResponsibility responsibility]], and [[{{Determinator}} bravery]]. Miles Morales, on the other hand, is an entitled punk who's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is, and Lyle Dutcher is going to make sure all of his coworkers know it.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: A variant. [[spoiler:After discovering Miles' secret identity from reading his journal, and witnessing him protect Brooklyn Visions from the Ultimate Goblin, Dutcher returns the journal to him while saying "It's a good thing that all I've read in this entirely ''fictional'' journal is a fanciful story written by a talented if unfocused young writer. Isn't that right?"]]
* IRejectYourReality: As anyone who's ever read one of Miles' books knows, he's an incredibly sweet kid, and many of the other employees recount positive experiences with him, but Dutcher insists that it's all a front.
* LargeHam: He takes his vice principal role ''insanely'' seriously, much to the frustration of his coworkers:
-->'''Dutcher:''' That whole meeting [with the City of New York Office of Education] was ''ridiculous''. Pencil pushers trying to tell me how to do my job.
-->'''Principal Evans:''' "Pencil pushers"? You're a vice principal, Lyle, not a Navy SEAL. You've got to learn to calm down.

The head principal of Brooklyn Visions Academy.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of Robbie Robertson except he is in charge of Brooklyn Visions Academy.
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: Easy to miss, but he has Dwarfism.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Does not appreciate Dutcher's obsession of catching kids and antagonizing students over his work. He even asks why Dutcher wanted to even work in education if he doesn't like students.
** When Goblin attacked Brooklyn Visions, he gladly turned himself over to in order to stop prevent further harm to his students.
-->'''Green Goblin:''' You are not scared of me, tiny man?
-->'''Principal Evans:''' Of course, I am scared. I'm terrified. I want to see my wife and my daughter again. But I'll do whatever I must to protect my students.

Brent was a student who was sent to make Miles introduction to Brooklyn Visions more seamless during a time Miles had Spider-Man powers but didn’t want to be Spider-Man.

[[quoteright:343:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lana_baumgartner_earth_1610_from_spider_man_vol_2_17_cover_001_7.jpg]]

Bombshell, Lana Baumgartner, is a teenaged girl from the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe. Along with her mother, she was a super criminal who robbed jewelry stores. After being apprehended twice, Lana was separated from her mother when the court declared her an unfit parent. Lana then became a student at Midtown High where she, unknowingly at the time, came across Spider-Man sans alias. Peter became one of her first few friends, along with Bobby Drake and Johnny Storm. Spider-Man died a short time later.

She returns, when there's a new Spider-Man in town (ComicBook/MilesMorales) and her backstory is explained. Her powers come from her mother, who was experimented on by Roxxon in exchange for a commuted prison sentence. Lori's escaped when she discovered that she was pregnant, but it was too late and her daughter was born with the same powers. Initially, their powers required both of them to be in close proximity to work, but eventually Lana learned how to use them on her own. She helped Miles, Spider-Woman, Cloak and Dagger to take down Roxxon, and also during the coming of Galactus. When ComicBook/TheUltimates broke up after ''Cataclysm'', they stayed toguether and started their own group, the ComicBook/AllNewUltimates.

The Ultimate Marvel universe was briefly destroyed during the ''[[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Secret Wars]]'', but the Molecule Man restored Miles Morales' family and friends in the Prime earth, as a token of gratitude. This included Lana, but also her mother, by proxy. Lana would stay a close friend of Miles, and Lori would join the Sinister Six. Lana would also join the Champions since volume 3.

Has no relation with ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells, an unrelated comic book from Creator/DCComics. She has no relation either with the BombThrowingAnarchists from ComicBook/NickSpencersCaptainAmerica used to display PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad.

----
!! Bombshell appears in:

[[AC:Notable Comics]]
* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel
** ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan''
** ''ComicBook/AllNewUltimates''
* Franchise/MarvelUniverse
** ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan2016 Spider-Man]]'' vol. 2 (2016 — 2018)
** ''[[ComicBook/Champions2016 Champions]]'' vol. 3 (2019)
** ''ComicBook/MilesMoralesSpiderMan'' (2019)
** ''ComicBook/{{Outlawed}}'' (2020)

----
!! Bombshell provides examples of:

* AbusiveParents: DoubleSubversion. When Lori was in jail, she was supportive and proud of Lana for being a hero. After she was released from prison, Lori quickly changed her tune. Lori quickly wants to go back to crime again and feels that since she is the parent, Lana has to as well. When Lana resists, Lori is quick to use violence against her.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: {{Subverted}}. Poey is a drug dealer and is described as dark and troubled. However, she is perfectly aware of the trouble he may cause and even uses it to her advantage when her boyfriend gets caught up with a super gang. She laments that the only reason that they are together is that they are both troubled people.
* TheBigGuy: Dagger and Bombshell fulfill this role in differing ways. Bombshell is clearly the more destructive of the two, but she is reluctant to join in a fight and is much more passive. Dagger is pugnacious and violently aggressive in comparison to Bombshell, but her power is precise and nowhere near as property damage.
* CanonImmigrant: She was moved to the Prime Earth, alongside most of Miles Morales' cast, at the end of ''Secret Wars''. In 2019 she joined the Champions.
* DominoMask: She wears one and, somehow, it allows her to go on on superhero stuff without her parole officer noticing that something is amiss.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: If we are strict, Bombshell was not created in Ultimate Marvel. She was a villain in the short-lived ''Hawkeye'' mini in 1983, but as she had absolutely no similarities with the modern character (she was a muscular woman, blonde, with a swimsuit costume, used actual bombs and was a stoic terrorist), they are related just by the name and the explosions. She was never mentioned again after that mini, not even when Ultimate Bombshell moved to the Prime Earth.
* GoodFeelsGood: She seems really enthusiastic about fighting bad guys.
-->'''Bombshell:''' We should text each other. We should do this again. Let's make a list of people to beat up and then go beat them up.
** The reason she even joined Spider-Woman's team was to do good for once in her life.
* HeelFaceTurn: After getting arrested twice, she was given a third chance to have a normal life. She is unwilling to continue her life of crime and begs Peter to keep her powers a secret from the other students.
* HeroicBSOD: Has an episode after her boyfriend was murdered.
* InsultBackfire: She calls Spider-Woman a cheap Spider-Man knockoff with a B-cup to get her riled up, but it doesn't work.
* JustFriends: After joining 616, she apparently had a thing for Miles, but was never open about it until he rescued her. Miles sees her as sister than a girlfriend. There was a brief period when she'd blow up his phone with texts. Since joining the Champions after defeating her mother, she still harbors feelings for him, but decides to remain friends on account of them both having too many responsibilities.
* TheLadette: Compared to most girls in Peter's life, she seems most comfortable being with the guys as she willingly sat with Peter and guys as if it were no big deal.
* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: As soon as her boyfriend found out about the incident between her and the Cloak and Dagger duo, he immediately broke up with her on the phone after she pleaded with him on the phone to stay at his place. Even Miles and Jessica felt awkward for her.
** One of her ex-boyfriends, Sid, finally gets revealed in the second issue of Cataclysm, where she acted abrasive, probably due to a previous incident. Of course, before anything is fleshed out about him, a car drops on top of him.
** In the first issue of the All-New Ultimates, Lana deliberately sets up time with her Poey and she comes back from a hot date rather disappointed and let down.
** And then her boyfriend Poey was offed by Diamondback and her gang as revenge for screwing up a drug operation.
* TheMole: After the transplant to the main Marvel Universe, Lori forces her daughter to join her on Iron Spider's new Sinister Six. Lana tries to reason with her mother, but has no luck. So she reluctantly tags along, sending coordinates to Miles so he can find them and stop the scheme.
* {{Mutant}}: Technically is one despite her objections to it.
* ReluctantHero: She was reluctant to use her powers because she would have been thrown in prison if she did so after Taskmaster attacked her and the Spiders, she immediately ran away. Eventually, she turned around and helped out. As soon as she did, however, she was called by her parole officer about using her powers anyways in spite of it being for a good cause. She is literally not allowed by law to be a superhero.
* ShoutOut: Creator/BrianBendis has been very upfront about the fact that Lana and her mother are blatant {{Expies}} of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore from the TV show ''Series/GilmoreGirls''.
* SirSwearsALot: Every other word out of her mouth is some swear or another.
** She tones it down after the time skip.
** After being attacked twice, she finally lets loose a swear after Cloak and Dagger try to make amends with her.
* SuperpowerLottery: Has an array of abilities that revolve around explosives.
** StuffBlowingUp: Her power. Problem is that she can't use it without being in physical contact with her mom.
** HandBlasts: Uses the recoil from the blast to achieve some level of Flight
** HavingABlast: Her power is to cause explosions.
** ActionBomb
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Dagger in her Ultimate Marvel days.
* WhiteSheep: Her mother was a convicted felon before Lana was born and got Lana in the business, to begin with.
** She has problems with this because prior to her previous criminal history, she is not allowed to use her powers at all. If she does, then she will be thrown in prison.
* WonderTwinPowers: Her and her mom are completely powerless without one another.
** [[spoiler: The reason why they weren't able to use this ability separately was that Lori gained this ability when she was pregnant with Lana.]]
** TookALevelInBadass: No longer needs to be in physical proximity of her mom, but they're far less powerful when they're apart.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre:
** A subtle case. When Peter first met her, they fought and after she was soundly defeated along with her mother, Peter told her that of all the things you use your power for, you use it for robbery. Of course, this did not stick as she went back out and robbed again. Literally years later, she finally lives out the potential that Peter saw in her and chooses to be a superhero.
** Jessica Drew seems especially supportive of her and cheers her on anytime she does anything remotely remarkable.

Huge Spider-man fan, or more specifically a Miles Morales' fan, who runs a huge blog that covers superheroes. Made a big deal out of Spider-man being a person of color and defended her stance. Ganke is a huge fan of her blog and took an interest in her in spite of Miles not being a huge fan of her blog. When Miles was in trouble, Ganke reached out to her under the guise of 'Ned' to help him. Afterwards, the two eventually started dating with Ganke still not telling her his real name in order to secure Miles' identity.
----
* AgeGapRomance: Downplayed, but she is an NYU student while Ganke is still in high school.
* {{Blog}}: Has a huge social media following.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Danika hasn't been seen since Brian Michael Bendis' run ended, which implies she and Ganke broke up at some point off-page.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of superheroes, in general, but particularly of Miles Morales. She even uses her blog to help Ganke find Miles once he goes missing.
* GenkiGirl: She is extremely energetic on her [=YouTube=] account as she babbles on about the latest piece of superhero news.
* RaceFetish: She is incredibly fascinated by the fact that the new Spider-Man is a person of color, which Miles himself is uncomfortable with.
* SecretKeeper: Not by choice. Ganke, again, spilled Miles name by accident while trying to keep his own identity a secret as well. Of, Danika snarks that she can pretend that he didn't hear it. Note that she never has met Miles. She was tempted to out his name after struggling to post blogs, but ultimately decided not to.
* SoapboxSadie: Has shades of this, but genuinely is impressed and is a fan of Spider-Man being a person of color.

[[folder:Tiana Toomes / Starling]]
!!'''Tiana Toomes / Starling'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tianatoomes_4.jpeg]]
A Detroit-born college freshman and new (anti-) hero in Brooklyn. She's the granddaughter of Adrian Toomes, otherwise known as Peter Parker's longtime enemy, the Vulture.
----
* AffectionateNickname:
** Her grandpa calls her "Firecracker".
** Calls Spider-Man “soccer body.”
* AlliterativeName: In classic Marvel fashion, '''T'''iana '''T'''oomes.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Like her grandfather, who built her suit and taught her how to fly, she has a bird motif.
* AntiHero: She's committed to justice and teams up with Spider-Man to take down Tombstone's men and some crooked cops. She's also got a brutal streak and Miles regularly has to talk her out of some more extreme actions.
* BrokenPedestal: She confronts Spider-Man/Peter thinking he was going to attack her grandfather during brunch. She drugs Peter during their scuffle, but he then tells her that her grandfather was murdered someone. As Peter falls unconscious, Tiana begins to doubt everything her grandfather told her.
* DisappearedDad: When Tiana was very young, her father Frankie abandoned her and her mom, Lenora. Adrian Toomes, disgusted by his son's actions, became a support system for them, and eventually, a mentor for Tiana. To this day, Tiana has no idea whether he's alive or dead, but doesn't seem to care either way.
* {{Flight}}: She is the Vulture’s Granddaughter.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Miles develops a crush on her the moment he sees her, comparing her to an angel (up until he remembers that she hospitalized about a dozen of Tombstone's henchmen).
* MoralityPet: To the Vulture, who, to Tiana's memory, has never been anything but a devoted and loving granddad. After his son Frankie abandoned little Tiana and her mom, Adrian went out of his way to provide for them, and made sure that every penny he gave them came from a legitimate source. Following her mother's death, Adrian encouraged her to follow her dreams of becoming an artist by moving to his Brooklyn address. While she's at it, she's decided to use the skills he taught her to take a stab at the superhero gig.
* RedIsHeroic: Her suit and many of the outfits she wears as a civilian are red, and she's working as a hero.
* SecretIdentity: Averted. She calls herself "Tiana" and "Starling" basically interchangeably, citing how her grandfather never tried to conceal that Adrian Toomes was also the Vulture. She finds it old-fashioned that her new self-appointed cohort will only call himself "Spider-Man".
* WholeCostumeReference: Despite being the Vulture's granddaughter, her costume, especially the color scheme, resembles that of ComicBook/TheFalcon.

* PassingTheTorch: Her core belief when it comes to the newly formed Web of Life. The reason why she reached out to Miles and not Peter is because he, Annie May (the new Patternmaker who wove this web), and she are new just like this Web of Life. It is their responsibility to protect it now.
* TheWatcher: Her role in yet another newly revealed part of the Spider-Mythos is to be the Spider at the center of the Web and Life and Destiny and watch it for threats within and without.

[[folder:Lori Baumgartner/Bombshell Mom]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1484685_lori.jpg]]
Fifteen years ago, Lori Baumgartner was held up in Rykers Island Prison for 18 years for armed robbery. She was chosen by a clandestine Roxxon Secret Group for an opportunity for freedom if she agreed to undergo an experiment for a super-genetics program. She of course accepted, but the details of the experiment were secret from her. The Roxxon scientists gave her the power to be a human bomb. However during the experiment, it was found out that Lori was pregnant and accidentally revealed to her. Lori precedes to escape the laboratory and presumably never to found out exactly who those people were while birthing Lana. Over a decade later, she returns to crime with her daughter and start robbing jewelry stores and armored cars. They refer to themselves as the Bombshells.
----
* ActionBomb
* BlackSheep: So much so that the courts took custody of Lana away from her declaring her to be an unfit parent.
* BookDumb: Dropped out of high-school and thought Captain America was a professional wrestler.
* GoodParents: As far as a person who raised their daughter to be brought up in a life of crime can be at least. Lori, while still in prison, urges Lana to not follow the same path Lori did and felt remorse for Lana after Lana's boyfriend was murdered in front of her daughter. She even urges Lana to not lose touch of her new friends.
** Subverted when she gets out prison. She immediately tries to recruit her daughter to do crime again now that SHIELD is out of the picture. When Lana refuses, she tries to use BecauseISaidSo as a justification why Lana should obey.
* HavingABlast
* LawOfInverseFertility: Apparently, Lori not only had no idea that she was pregnant, she had no intention of having a child as well.
* ParentalObliviousness: She believes that simply because she is Lana's mother, Lana has to obey her.
* SirSwearsAlot: Not as bad as her daughter, but it is still apparent enough for Spider-Woman to point out.

[[folder:Tomoe / Techno Golem]]
!!Tomoe The Techno Golem
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tomoe.jpg]]
Tomoe is a young Nuhuman girl that is based in Japan. She grew up with nothing and was essentially a nobody according to her. And then the Terrigen Mist came to Japan and she was given powers that allow her to absorb any technology and use it to her gain. With her powers, she quickly took over the Japanese Underworld, superpowered or no, with her gang of Biotech ninjas. She debuted fighting Tony Stark, Rhodey, and Peter Parker when she suspected that Stark and Madame Masque were working together. When her operation was shut down, she went into hiding. Hearing of a new Iron Man protegee, Riri Williams, Tomoe decided to take her out before she could interrupt her plans like Tony did. This failed and led to her capture by SHIELD. After some time passed, she came across Miles Morales, who had just ran away to Japan. Unaware of his identity and witnessing him taking out a few Goblin Nation thugs, she invited him to her hangout in which she shared a bit of herself to Miles hinting some attraction towards him.
----
* CursedWithAwesome: She relishes her power and can no longer imagine what life is like without them. Considering they granted her wealth and prestige, it is hard to say that she is wrong.
* CyberNinja: Runs a clan of Cyber Ninja with LaserBlade Katanas.
* DarkActionGirl: Definitely this.
* DatingCatwoman: Implied to be the reason why she was smitten with Miles and why she was disappointed that Miles turned out to be Spider-man.
* GenreSavvy: She is well aware that the only reason she is thriving is because she has not caught the ire/attention of any SHIELD or Avengers operatives. The moment that she did, she immediately dipped out and went into hiding.
** Was relieved when the bane and reason why her organization fell, Tony Stark and James Rhodey, were indisposed, so when she learned that there was a replacement, she immediately went after Ironheart and Rescue.
* ExplosiveLeash: She implants bombs in her goons' heads as a measure to keep them from divulging information. Not that she needs to worry as they are fanatically loyal to her.
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Averted. Tomoe started from the bottom and now she is a criminal princess.
-->'''Miles:''' Oh, this is so cool.(referring to the garden on top of her building) Is this your dad's?\\
'''Tomoe:''' [[EloquentInMyNativeTongue Dad's?]]\\
'''Miles:''' Your Father's?\\
'''Tomoe:''' Oh, Oh no. No. This is mine.\\
'''Miles:''' You own this?\\
'''Tomoe:''' I own the building. And the sky above it.
* RagsToRiches: According to her, she used her powers to climb the ladder of success.
* RevengeBeforeReason: She is vindictive and prideful so she does not forget those who betrayed her and sleighted her in the least. Given that both Miles and Riri drew her ire, one can expect that she will come back and haunt them again.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: She started fighting Iron Man and his supporting cast before turning to Spider-Man.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: Very much the case with Miles and why she was disappointed that he was Spider-Man. Even after the fight and the realization that he is Spider-Man and everybody had collapsed, she crawls over to him hinting that she wanted to kiss him.
* {{Technopath}}: An extremely powerful one at that. She can use any technology that is metal based. '''Any''' technology. She has stripped 4 Iron Men of their suits, taken both Spider-men of their web shooters, implanted several biotech mods in her flunkies that she can detonate on will, and shut down an entire building. There is a reason why she is under constant surveillance of SHIELD.
* {{Yakuza}}: Of a sort. Although she was not born in a gang and it is hinted that she overthrew the real Japanese Yakuza.

A black market dealer and weapons supplier based in Red Hook that Aaron Davis met when he was trying to restart his super-villain career. The pair have since become fast friends, and she is Aaron's go-to contact when we needs gear or information.
------
* GadgeteerGenius: She's a master inventor and engineer who actually improved on ComicBook/IronMan's original Iron Spider suit schematics, and provided Aaron and Jefferson with the new Prowler suit and the weapons they'd need to save Miles.
* EvilVirtues: She keeps her promises to her fellow criminals and values her friendship with Aaron Davis.
* TheManBehindTheMan: She and Spider-Man have never met, but through her connections to Aaron Davis, she's had a major indirect influence on his crime-fighting life.
* MissionControl: From her temporary base in Jersey, she helps the Iron Spider's Sinister Six successfully steal a helicarrier and get it all the way to Latveria before any superheroes catch up.
* VillainousFriendship: She's very amiable with Aaron. Even after he doesn't live up to his end of their bargain, she's genuinely regretful about having to put a bounty on his head, and puts herself on the line by formulating a plan to pretend to capture him herself in order to up negotiations between her gang and Ultimatum.

[[folder:The Snatcher]]
!!Snatcher
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snatcher_7.jpg]]
A psychic who has made a name for himself by kidnapping young children, giving them superpowers, then selling them off as minions to villains and crime lords.
----
* ChildrenForcedToKill: Under his hypnosis, the kids are compelled to do whatever he or the person who buys them tells them to do, and at one point forces the kids to hold each other at gunpoint to force the heroes into a SadisticChoice. Thankfully, Spider-Man, Rhino, and Captain America manage to defeat him before he finds any buyers quite ''that'' twisted, and the only crime any of the children are shown carrying out is a robbery.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The kids he targets are all ordinary civilians, so he's invested in several child-sized uniforms that give them superpowers. Little Eduardo Rodriguez, for example, gets [[ShockAndAwe electric powers]], and Rhino's niece Tanya gets [[RubberMan elastic powers]].
* MindControl: His power, which he primarily uses on the kids he abducts. He also tries to use it on Spider-Man, Rhino, and Captain America when they track him down, but finds this group (a teenager with HeroicWillpower to spare, a semi-reformed villain in full PapaWolf - err, Uncle Rhino -- mode, and ''the'' {{Determinator}} of the Marvel Universe) much harder to control than the children, implying that he's nowhere near as strong as Marvel's most recognizable telepaths like Professor X or Jean Grey.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He specifically says that kids he abducts come from families that, in his view, "don't belong" in the US - undocumented immigrants, homeless people, pro-vaccination families, and so on.
** Has a Neo Nazi Iron Cross tattooed on his arm so yeah, we know his political affiliations.
* SuperhumanTrafficking: Played with: he kidnaps kids so he can turn them into superhuman minions for the likes of Tombstone.
* TattooedCrook: Has two visible arm tatted sleeves with one having a Nazi Iron Cross wrapped around barbed wire.
* WouldHurtAChild: As evidenced by the human trafficking. He later tries to force the heroes to stand down by making the kids hold each other at gunpoint.

[[folder:The Assessor]]
!!Assessor
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/assessor_5.jpg]]
A mysterious man (or, equally likely, entity) interested in the upper limits of Spider-Man's abilities.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He looks like a man, but speaks robotically and never shows any kind of emotion. [[spoiler:The ''Iron Man Annual'' reveals that he's some kind of gestalt AI.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: He absolutely succeeds in his endeavor of capturing Miles, examining/torturing him for days, and gets away with it. Whatever his goal was, he succeeded. Sure, Miles escaped but has trauma and is extremely reluctant in finding and trying to stop the Assessor. [[spoiler:Even after Iron Man captures the villain and basically obliterates his entire Brooklyn base of operations, a back-up copy of the Assessor's AI is booted up upon his arrest, leaving him still at large.]]
* BreakTheBadass: The Assessor's torment of Miles is so severe that it leaves him traumatized enough to stop being Spider-Man for several months. Keep in mind that the only other villain to successfully cause Miles this much distress was Ultimate Venom, ''his mother's killer''.
* ExpendableClone: The reason why he tested Miles’ physical capabilities so rigorously was to create a burner clone that was essentially a shell of Miles. Burner Clones only last a day.
* ForScience: As well as for the Executive Board Review.
* ImpliedDeathThreat: The Assessor doesn’t speak plainly. He uses corporate language and lexicons. Killing is too personal to say. The Assessor threatens to liquidate the test subject to not compromise board security.
* KaizoTrap: A non-Video game example. Miles wakes up thinking that he caught the entire examination off guard and breaks out of his straps. He defeats the guards including Asset Quantum. And just when he thinks he is homefree, the doors that he thought were his escape only led to a closed room. The Assessor appears again revealing that it was just another test.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The Assessor thankfully ends up on the receiving end of this trope after [[spoiler:Miles eventually confesses to [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] what happened to him while he was the Assessor's captive. Tony, ''[[AdultFear completely horrified]]'' and ''[[BerserkButton enraged]]'' by the revelation, takes it upon himself to '''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill singlehandedly annihilate]]''' both the Assessor and his illicit operations in Brooklyn [[PapaWolf for what he did to the kid.]]]]
* KillerGameMaster: Has this kind of personality.
* MadScientist: Has decided that child abduction and blackmail is the most reasonable way to study spider powers.
* OhCrap: In a rare case of NotSoStoic, [[spoiler: The Assessor is completely floored by how Iron Man was able to steamroll past his defenses and dispatch his primary enforcer Quantum. And since Tony set up signal blockers ahead of time that prevent the criminal mastermind from digitally transferring himself to safety, the Assessor has nowhere else left to run...]]
--> [[spoiler:'''Iron Man''': Go on. Try to broadcast your persona out and away from this body. To safety. You can't, ''can you?'']]
--> '''Assessor''': No. Impossible. ''[[VillainousBreakdown Inconceivable.]]''
--> [[spoiler:'''Iron Man''': Wrong. '''Wrong.''' '''[[BadassBoast Invincible]].''' Remember that.]]
* RoyalWe: Only ever uses the pronoun "We", but Miles refers to the Assessor as a "him".
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He speas with complicated diction. He never expresses any intent without getting straight to the point or being transparent.
* SinisterSurveillance: Every aspect of his testing area is monitored down to his test subjects vitals.
* SpockSpeak: The Assessor speaks in mechanical, technical terms.
* {{Teleportation}}: Assessor has a mechanical minion called Asset Quantum. Its unique state allows it to teleport and avoid detection by Spider-Sense.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: And Viewer ''Number'' Confusion, for that matter. The Assessor exclusively uses the pronoun "we" in self-directed speech. When directly interacting with Miles, the Assessor is seen as a creepy mechanical man, who then vanishes after providing "Subject 002-004" with the redacted terms and conditions. From there, Miles only hears the Assessor as a disembodied voice through a speaker. Towards the end, we see a pair of human scientists, who Miles defeats during his escape attempt, but it's unclear if they were the Assessor, minions for the Assessor, or part of the escape attempt-themed simulation that the Assessor was running on Miles.
* WorthyOpponent: In his own disturbing way, he respects his prisoner and regularly states that Spider-Man is exceeding his expectations for his tests.
* WouldHurtAChild: Should "Subject 002-004" not comply with the Assessor's tests, he will direct a punishment either at Miles or his family and friends - pregnant Rio and teenagers Ganke, Judge, and Barbara included.
* YouAreNumberSix: Only ever calls Miles "Subject 002-004". When Aaron and Jefferson show up to rescue him, they are identified as "Motivational Assets".

The henchmen or thing of the Assessor. In spite of its humanoid frame, it isn’t human or it's devoid of humanity. It has the ability to phase through contract, and teleport at will. It seems to be tasked at capturing Miles for whatever tasks the Assessor has for him.

[[folder:Ultimatum / '''SPOILER''' Alter Ego]]
!!Miles Morales of Earth-616 / Ultimatum
[[quoteright:314:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultimatum.png]]
The Miles Morales native to the regular Marvel Universe. A friend of Wilson Fisk who helped him get his start in life, before retiring to a life of quiet annonimity in the suburbs with his wife... until he lost her. Desperate to get her back, Miles returned to the world of crime, nearly running into both Spider-Men before disappearing into another, strangely familiar universe...
-----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike the Ultimate Marvel version of Miles, the Miles of Earth-616 was a member of the Rigoletto gang, is the best friend of the Kingpin and ultimately became a supervillain after a failed attempt to reform himself.
* AgeLift: Unlike Ultimate Miles, the Miles of Earth-616 was already an adult when he helped Fisk in his rise to become the Kingpin, making him older than Peter.
* BondVillainStupidity: He wants Miles gone from "his" universe, so he organises the capture of Miles, Aaron, and the entire Morales family. He doesn't succeed at the later, but he does manage to catch Miles, and takes the time to explain his whole history rather than just shove Miles through the damn portal. Naturally, this allows Aaron to save his nephew.
* TheBusCameBack: He disappears at the end of ''Spider-Men II''. He returns in ''Miles Morales: Spider-Man'' issue 250.
* CanonImmigrant: He's the classic Marvel Universe's version of Miles and briefly lived in the restored Ultimate Universe.
* CharacterTic: Apparently bites his lip when thinking.
* CostumeCopycat: As Ultimatum, his outfit is a mix of that of the founding members of Earth-1610's ComicBook/TheUltimates (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Giant Man), albeit in a different colour-scheme.
* TheDragon: He was the Dragon for Kingpin, but Fisk treated him as an equal going so far as to have Don Rigoletto kiss his hand. The Don refused.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: His minions and hired thugs are an incredibly diverse bunch. This becomes plot-relevant when some of them turn out to be Spanish speakers, allowing Spider-Man to pull a BilingualBackfire on him and get a lead on where Ultimatum is.
* EvilCounterpart: Unlike Ultimate Miles, 616 Miles is a supervillain, and friend and former lackey of the Kingpin.
* EvilPowerVacuum: After Starling and Miles took out Tombstone invading Brooklyn, Ultimatum decided to move in on the turf after Miles took a several month break from being Spider-Man due to being captured and tortured by the Assessor.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He's got some pretty nasty facial scars, gained when he tried protecting Wilson Fisk from an attack.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the vast differences between their universes and their histories, both Mileses share several of the same childhood memories, which is how this Miles proves their connection.
* JustAGangster: Despite being skilled and crafty enough to rob an ''alternate universe'' of some of its most famous weapons and technology, all this Miles desires at the end of the day is total control over the underworld of ''his'' reality's Brooklyn. He even confesses to being this trope to Aaron's face after inviting him over to his compound for a chat.
* TheLostLenore: His wife, Barbara. His journey into the recreated Ultimate Universe started with trying to get her back somehow.
* MythologyGag: His supervillain name is taken from the ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'' event, and his gear appears to be compiled from Earth-1610's Ultimates - Cap's shield, Thor's chest plate, and a combination of Iron Man and Giant Man's powers.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: He's got several groups of minions who wear costumes similar to his. They're looking to establish themselves in the criminal vacuum left behind when Spider-Man and Starling took down Tombstone. Not much is known about them other than that are aggressively pushing the Ultimate Oz formula that created Green Goblin and Ultimate Spider-man on the people of Brooklyn (sometimes literally, as Miles tries to save a man. when they force the drug down the guy's throat).
* RaceLift: He's much lighter-skinned than "our" Miles.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His outfit is the reverse of Miles’ Spidey suit — mainly red with black designs.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: As Ultimatum, he's capable of turning giant like Giant Man.
* SuperiorSuccessor: He frequently uses his sizeshifting powers to appear powerful and menacing. It's kind of funny when you see those scenes and remember Ultimate Henry Pym, the first Giant-Man of the Ultimate universe, who was anything but.
* {{Unperson}}: There's not a trace of him anywhere in the world. Peter Parker checked, even having Jessica Jones do her thing. She couldn't find a bean. This is because he asked Wilson Fisk to hide all knowledge of him so he could live in peace.
* VillainousFriendship: With Wilson Fisk, of all people. Miles helped him in his rise to power, and Wilson still treats him as a friend, probably one of the few people this can be said of.
** It goes beyond just a mere friendship. They are best friends. Miles' helped Wilson Fisk's rise to power and eventually established him as the Kingpin of crime. Wilson Fisk is known for his greed and avarice gave Miles control of Brooklyn and went as far as to say that he wasn't giving him anything that he didn't already build.

A white guy dressed up as an Egyptian Pharaoh who has ice powers.
----
* ButtMonkey: Is treated like a joke every time he appears. Miles even seems to be embarrassed that he could be considered a villain of his.
-->'''Prowler:''' ''[in awe that Frost Pharaoh crawled out of a dumpster to stop them]'' You know this dude, too?\\
'''Miles:''' It's not important.
* CaptainErsatz: He’s pretty much just the Pharaoh from Literature/SoonIWillBeInvincible. Confusing, pathetic supervillain white guy in non-thematic Egyptian costume wielding an icy weapon? Check.
* AnIcePerson: His scepter gives him the ability to shoot and freeze things in ice.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He terrorizes a museum with his ice powers, but he's so ridiculous and easy for Miles to take down that he comes across as pitiable more than anything.

!!Maximus Gargan/The Scorpion

A Mexican crime lord who followed The Prowler up to New York for revenge for a double-cross. Once there, he decided the city needed a new Kingpin, and set out to consolidate his territory and terrorize The Prowler. Possesses nigh impenetrable skin and wields a fearsome chained flail similar to a scorpion's tail.
----
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: He's Mexican and the second person to use the Scorpion identity.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: ''Maximus'' Gargan.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He has the word "Scorpion" tattooed across the front of his neck. Since he's a huge guy with a bull neck, it's really prominent in any frontal shots.
* TheBrute: Although a fairly eloquent and intelligent example. He has the cleverness and ambition to (try to) assemble a criminal empire. However, his anger issues tend to turn anyone who bothers him into paste, [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority though this isn't necessarily a hindrance]].
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Is drawn to resemble Creator/DannyTrejo, down to the placement of his tattoos (though Maximus has ink more relevant to his character).
* CompositeCharacter: Of Mac Gargan (uses the name "Scorpion" and almost similar real name) and Black Tartantula (a Hispanic crime lord who, likewise, has ambiguous superhuman powers).
* DecompositeCharacter: 616 Mac Gargan becomes both the Clone Saga Scorpion-Peter Parker, and a Mexican crime lord. Neither actually ''resemble'' him all that much, except that the former has the costume and the latter (almost) his name. As noted above, Maximus more closely resembles another Spidey villain, the Black Tartantula.
* EpicFlail: He can demolish entire large rooms filled with equipment and containers in just a couple swings.
* ImplacableMan: He's nigh-invulnerable and shows it.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Though an explanation may be forthcoming, the hints given so far about his strength and resilience are incredibly vague, and he is otherwise just another crime lord. Even when in FBI custody sometime in the past, they were unable to confirm whether or not he was superhuman, and rumors of his powers likewise travel in criminal circles without any confirmation. The Scorpion implies that his impenetrable skin has something to do with where he came from.
* MadeOfIron: Can take electrical shocks and blunt force trauma pretty well, in addition to his tough skin, though it's unclear as to whether it's actually SuperToughness or not.
* MissionFromGod: Once he sees how pathetic criminals in New York were, he realizes that God could only have sent him to New York to turn things around.
* MoodSwinger: When he loses his temper, ''he really loses his temper''.
* MythologyGag: Mac Gargan → Maximus Gargan, and of course the scorpion flail.
* NighInvulnerable: Overlaps with MadeOfIron. Sufficiently sharp blades or razors can become embedded in his skin, but not pierce completely through. The pain can incapacitate him, though.
* OneSteveLimit: During the Clone Saga, one of Peter's clones was clad in a [[MythologyGag cybernetic suit of armour equipped with an acid-spewing tail]], and was the only clone aside from Spider-Woman to survive.
* RaceLift: Once his connection to the mainstream Scorpion was solidified, we have the Scorpion going from Caucasian to Mexican.
* ReligiousBruiser: He's a steadfast Catholic, and considers it his God-anointed duty to take control of NYC's criminal underbelly.
* VisionaryVillain: Comes to believe that the crime element of New York is both unorganized and weak; he wants to take back control of crime and bring some class to the criminal underworld.
* YouCantFightFate: Probably related to his belief in his MissionFromGod, he sees fate as the series of challenges life presents you; you either bow before them or fight through them -- either way, there's only one possible outcome based on who you are.

[[quoteright:251:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Venom_Conrad_Marcus_1606.png]]

The third host of the Venom symbiote. He once worked as a scientist for Oscorp but switched to Roxxon, and when he learned Betty Brant was investigating an OZ-infected spider that had given Miles Morales his powers, he stole a sample of the Venom Suit from Roxxon and used it to kill Betty. He confronted and injured Jefferson Morales, who Betty's notes indicated was Spider-Man II, but was driven off by Miles.
----
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Conrad Marcus was a middle-aged African-American man, in contrast to the teenaged-to-twenty something Caucasian Eddie Brock.
* AmbiguousSituation: There's a lot to cast doubt on whether his supposedly secret identity is actually that. Notably, it was at one point made clear that this version of Venom was operating without a host, and another that he had a mysterious connection to Miles' father.
** [[spoiler:When Conrad first appeared, Osborn offered him a lot of money to replicate the spider who created Spider-Man because Osborn couldn't do it himself. When he learned that the new Spider-Man was indirectly made by him through Betty Brant, he may have decided to reclaim what was his or at least abduct Miles, since the spider Betty brought him died and he needed to learn how he did it in order to profit from it.]]
* CombatTentacles: His first appearance in the third volume is him shanking Betty Brant with a razor tentacle.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Conrad Marcus appeared in the very first issue creating the spider that bit Miles.
* EyelessFace: As Venom, Marcus's eyes become progressively smaller until they disappear completely.
* HulkingOut: Initially resembles a skeletal version of Eddie Brock's Venom form with clawed feet, but quickly becomes far larger and more bestial in appearance than Eddie was, [[PrimalStance walking on all fours]] and having an elongated snout resembling the giant Venom in ''VideoGame/SpiderManWebOfShadows''.
* KilledOffForReal: By the police opening fire on him after Spider-Man II stripped him of the symbiote.
* IAmAHumanitarian: Tries to eat a police officer and later absorbs Miles, which backfires when Miles uses his Venom Blasts to pull a ChestBurster and strip Marcus of the symbiote.
* LegacyCharacter: The third person to don a sample of the Venom Suit.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Used to work as a scientist for Oscorp before switching to Roxxon.
* OverlyLongTongue: Even longer than Eddie Brock's.
* PrimalStance: Becomes ''far'' more bestial in appearance as Venom than Eddie Brock was.
* SanitySlippage: The Venom Suit increasingly influences Markus, wanting to bond to Spider-Man.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: For some reason, Marcus's sample of the Venom Suit was drawn to Miles Morales in the same way the original was drawn to Peter Parker.

[[folder: Donald Roxxon]]
Donald Roxxon was born into a wealthy family and became the heir to Roxxon Corporation. After his father died, the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical empire was left to him despite not having any business skills nor the genius of his would be Rival Norman Osborn or business tycoon, Justin Hammer. After losing Captain America, Nick Fury enlisted the help of several corporations that may be interested in finding the next super-soldier program. So he did whatever he could to compete with Osborn and his competitors to gain the next super-soldier formula since it granted contracts from the Military even sinking to child abduction, human experimentation(way before Osborn even considered), and many unethical means.
----
* AbusiveParents: It has been stated that his dad hated him and even sometimes beat Roxxon.
* BigBadWannabe: He fervently believes in his own abilities, but he just does not cut it as a menacing villain compared to the likes of Osborn. However, he does have money to hire competent people who make up for his incompetence.
* ButtMonkey: Long before his introduction, Roxxon has been regarded as a bumbling oaf who fell into money. His own father abused him and hated him. His own scientists readily acknowledge how crazy insecure he is and only useful for money to fund their experiments.
* CompensatingForSomething: He tries to make up for his lack of intelligence and business skills to compete with the likes of Hammer and Oscorp by hiring scientists to do his experiments without actually understanding what they are doing. The only reason that he lasted so long as a corporation was because Osborn and Hammer took themselves out.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: This guy takes the cake. He is only formidable because he is extremely rich and desperate enough to make profit to the extent that he suspends ethics.
* DependingOnTheArtist: His appearance changes all the freaking time. About the only thing that remains consistent is his [[GagNose nose]].
** In his first appearance, he's overweight and clean-shaven.
** In his second appearance in Ultimate Enemy, he's suddenly thin and has a moustache.
** In his third appearance, when Miles confronts him, he's suddenly clean-shaven and slightly portly again.
* DisposableVagrant: Roxxon, would kidnap or experiment on people who nobody would miss. There was an entire list of experiments.
* EvilGloating: From the minute Miles and Spider-Woman burst into his office, he starts bragging.
* ItsAllAboutMe: A serious case of this.
* ManChild: His first appearance establishes his backstory as a rich kid that spent his entire life blowing cash on partying until he was forced to take charge of a multimillion dollar company. Explains a lot.
* {{Motormouth}}: Not in the traditional sense, but it's pretty clear his mouth moves much, much quicker than his brain.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: This guy placed the instruments to his demise and inadvertently made an entire super-hero team hate him.
** First, he unlawfully granted pardon to a criminal in order to have his scientists experiment on her. After the experiment was successful, she escaped and then her child who she was pregnant with gained powers as well came back fifteen years later and helped secure his demise.
** Second, he worked with Dr. Octopus to clone Peter Parker multiple times. One of those clones turned out to be the gender swapped clone, Jessica Drew. She harbored se much resentment for Roxxon Corporation that she had them infiltrated twice upon finding out the ties to her creation. Her resentment towards her former creators was the main reason why she formed the teen of pissed off teenage supers who also have been mistreated by Roxxon.
** Third, Cloak and Dagger were more immediate than the previous two, but after kidnapping the kids, having their deaths faked, and then experimented on, Cloak and Dagger escaped from Roxxon, made public news that drew the attention of Jessica Drew and helped Miles come out his retirement. The reason that they were able to get in contact with Spider-woman, Spider-man, and Bombshell was because Roxxon sent out a hit to attempting to cover up his tracks which led to a fight.
** Finally, Miles Morales came out of retirement because of what he did to the previous four. Then he found out that Roxxon was involved with the Venom Symbiote that caused his mom's death, and was the one who hired Aaron Jefferson, the Prowler, to steal from the Oscorp building which led to Miles becoming Spider-Man.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: For all his incompetence and boobery, he still has moments of competence. Not to mention whatever it was he did to Miles' dad all those years ago.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Tries to act like he is "the leader of men" and SHIELD won't take him under custody because he works with them. He turns out to be wrong on both accounts.
* UngratefulBastard: Spider-Man inadvertently saves multiple projects from superpowered mercenaries? Hire other mercenaries to track and kidnap him so you can interrogate him on why he would. Angrily called out by Peter himself, why would you restrain and interrogate someone apparently helping you? No wonder other costumed superpowers are mad with you if this is how you show gratitude.

Huge Spider-man fan, or more specifically a Miles Morales' fan, who runs a huge blog that covers superheroes. Made a big deal out of Spider-man being a person of color and defended her stance. Ganke is a huge fan of her blog and took an interest in her in spite of Miles not being a huge fan of her blog. When Miles was in trouble, Ganke reached out to her under the guise of 'Ned' to help him. Afterwards, the two eventually started dating with Ganke still not telling her his real name in order to secure Miles' identity.

* AgeGapRomance: Downplayed, but she is an NYU student while Ganke is still in high school.
* {{Blog}}: Has a huge social media following.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Danika hasn't been seen since Brian Michael Bendis' run ended, which implies she and Ganke broke up at some point off-page.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of superheroes, in general, but particularly of Miles Morales. She even uses her blog to help Ganke find Miles once he goes missing.
* GenkiGirl: She is extremely energetic on her [=YouTube=] account as she babbles on about the latest piece of superhero news.
* RaceFetish: She is incredibly fascinated by the fact that the new Spider-Man is a person of color, which Miles himself is uncomfortable with.
* SecretKeeper: Not by choice. Ganke, again, spilled Miles name by accident while trying to keep his own identity a secret as well. Of, Danika snarks that she can pretend that he didn't hear it. Note that she never has met Miles. She was tempted to out his name after struggling to post blogs, but ultimately decided not to.
* SoapboxSadie: Has shades of this, but genuinely is impressed and is a fan of Spider-Man being a person of color.

[[folder:Tiana Toomes / Starling]]
!!'''Tiana Toomes / Starling'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tianatoomes_4.jpeg]]
A Detroit-born college freshman and new (anti-) hero in Brooklyn. She's the granddaughter of Adrian Toomes, otherwise known as Peter Parker's longtime enemy, the Vulture.

* AffectionateNickname:
** Her grandpa calls her "Firecracker".
** Calls Spider-Man “soccer body.”
* AlliterativeName: In classic Marvel fashion, '''T'''iana '''T'''oomes.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Like her grandfather, who built her suit and taught her how to fly, she has a bird motif.
* AntiHero: She's committed to justice and teams up with Spider-Man to take down Tombstone's men and some crooked cops. She's also got a brutal streak and Miles regularly has to talk her out of some more extreme actions.
* BrokenPedestal: She confronts Spider-Man/Peter thinking he was going to attack her grandfather during brunch. She drugs Peter during their scuffle, but he then tells her that her grandfather was murdered someone. As Peter falls unconscious, Tiana begins to doubt everything her grandfather told her.
* DisappearedDad: When Tiana was very young, her father Frankie abandoned her and her mom, Lenora. Adrian Toomes, disgusted by his son's actions, became a support system for them, and eventually, a mentor for Tiana. To this day, Tiana has no idea whether he's alive or dead, but doesn't seem to care either way.
* {{Flight}}: She is the Vulture’s Granddaughter.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Miles develops a crush on her the moment he sees her, comparing her to an angel (up until he remembers that she hospitalized about a dozen of Tombstone's henchmen).
* MoralityPet: To the Vulture, who, to Tiana's memory, has never been anything but a devoted and loving granddad. After his son Frankie abandoned little Tiana and her mom, Adrian went out of his way to provide for them, and made sure that every penny he gave them came from a legitimate source. Following her mother's death, Adrian encouraged her to follow her dreams of becoming an artist by moving to his Brooklyn address. While she's at it, she's decided to use the skills he taught her to take a stab at the superhero gig.
* RedIsHeroic: Her suit and many of the outfits she wears as a civilian are red, and she's working as a hero.
* SecretIdentity: Averted. She calls herself "Tiana" and "Starling" basically interchangeably, citing how her grandfather never tried to conceal that Adrian Toomes was also the Vulture. She finds it old-fashioned that her new self-appointed cohort will only call himself "Spider-Man".
* WholeCostumeReference: Despite being the Vulture's granddaughter, her costume, especially the color scheme, resembles that of ComicBook/TheFalcon.

The Spider-person of Earth 001 and designated watcher and protector of the new Web of Life after the first one was destroyed in Spider-Geddon. She enlists Miles to stop what’s corrupting the Web of Life.

* {{Expy}}: Of Madame Webb. She isn’t exactly like her but she pretty much does for Miles what Webb did for Peter.
* JustAKid: When Miles finally meets her after being dragged through multiple dimensions by her, he is surprised to see a girl younger than him.
* PassingTheTorch: Her core belief when it comes to the newly formed Web of Life. The reason why she reached out to Miles and not Peter is because he, Annie May (the new Patternmaker who wove this web), and she are new just like this Web of Life. It is their responsibility to protect it now.
* TheWatcher: Her role in yet another newly revealed part of the Spider-Mythos is to be the Spider at the center of the Web and Life and Destiny and watch it for threats within and without.

[[folder:Lori Baumgartner/Bombshell Mom]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1484685_lori.jpg]]
Fifteen years ago, Lori Baumgartner was held up in Rykers Island Prison for 18 years for armed robbery. She was chosen by a clandestine Roxxon Secret Group for an opportunity for freedom if she agreed to undergo an experiment for a super-genetics program. She of course accepted, but the details of the experiment were secret from her. The Roxxon scientists gave her the power to be a human bomb. However during the experiment, it was found out that Lori was pregnant and accidentally revealed to her. Lori precedes to escape the laboratory and presumably never to found out exactly who those people were while birthing Lana. Over a decade later, she returns to crime with her daughter and start robbing jewelry stores and armored cars. They refer to themselves as the Bombshells.

* ActionBomb
* BlackSheep: So much so that the courts took custody of Lana away from her declaring her to be an unfit parent.
* BookDumb: Dropped out of high-school and thought Captain America was a professional wrestler.
* GoodParents: As far as a person who raised their daughter to be brought up in a life of crime can be at least. Lori, while still in prison, urges Lana to not follow the same path Lori did and felt remorse for Lana after Lana's boyfriend was murdered in front of her daughter. She even urges Lana to not lose touch of her new friends.
** Subverted when she gets out prison. She immediately tries to recruit her daughter to do crime again now that SHIELD is out of the picture. When Lana refuses, she tries to use BecauseISaidSo as a justification why Lana should obey.
* HavingABlast
* LawOfInverseFertility: Apparently, Lori not only had no idea that she was pregnant, she had no intention of having a child as well.
* ParentalObliviousness: She believes that simply because she is Lana's mother, Lana has to obey her.
* SirSwearsAlot: Not as bad as her daughter, but it is still apparent enough for Spider-Woman to point out.

[[folder:Tomoe / Techno Golem]]
!!Tomoe The Techno Golem
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tomoe.jpg]]
Tomoe is a young Nuhuman girl that is based in Japan. She grew up with nothing and was essentially a nobody according to her. And then the Terrigen Mist came to Japan and she was given powers that allow her to absorb any technology and use it to her gain. With her powers, she quickly took over the Japanese Underworld, superpowered or no, with her gang of Biotech ninjas. She debuted fighting Tony Stark, Rhodey, and Peter Parker when she suspected that Stark and Madame Masque were working together. When her operation was shut down, she went into hiding. Hearing of a new Iron Man protegee, Riri Williams, Tomoe decided to take her out before she could interrupt her plans like Tony did. This failed and led to her capture by SHIELD. After some time passed, she came across Miles Morales, who had just ran away to Japan. Unaware of his identity and witnessing him taking out a few Goblin Nation thugs, she invited him to her hangout in which she shared a bit of herself to Miles hinting some attraction towards him.

* CursedWithAwesome: She relishes her power and can no longer imagine what life is like without them. Considering they granted her wealth and prestige, it is hard to say that she is wrong.
* CyberNinja: Runs a clan of Cyber Ninja with LaserBlade Katanas.
* DarkActionGirl: Definitely this.
* DatingCatwoman: Implied to be the reason why she was smitten with Miles and why she was disappointed that Miles turned out to be Spider-man.
* GenreSavvy: She is well aware that the only reason she is thriving is because she has not caught the ire/attention of any SHIELD or Avengers operatives. The moment that she did, she immediately dipped out and went into hiding.
** Was relieved when the bane and reason why her organization fell, Tony Stark and James Rhodey, were indisposed, so when she learned that there was a replacement, she immediately went after Ironheart and Rescue.
* ExplosiveLeash: She implants bombs in her goons' heads as a measure to keep them from divulging information. Not that she needs to worry as they are fanatically loyal to her.
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Averted. Tomoe started from the bottom and now she is a criminal princess.
-->'''Miles:''' Oh, this is so cool.(referring to the garden on top of her building) Is this your dad's?\\
'''Tomoe:''' [[EloquentInMyNativeTongue Dad's?]]\\
'''Miles:''' Your Father's?\\
'''Tomoe:''' Oh, Oh no. No. This is mine.\\
'''Miles:''' You own this?\\
'''Tomoe:''' I own the building. And the sky above it.
* RagsToRiches: According to her, she used her powers to climb the ladder of success.
* RevengeBeforeReason: She is vindictive and prideful so she does not forget those who betrayed her and sleighted her in the least. Given that both Miles and Riri drew her ire, one can expect that she will come back and haunt them again.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: She started fighting Iron Man and his supporting cast before turning to Spider-Man.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: Very much the case with Miles and why she was disappointed that he was Spider-Man. Even after the fight and the realization that he is Spider-Man and everybody had collapsed, she crawls over to him hinting that she wanted to kiss him.
* {{Technopath}}: An extremely powerful one at that. She can use any technology that is metal based. '''Any''' technology. She has stripped 4 Iron Men of their suits, taken both Spider-men of their web shooters, implanted several biotech mods in her flunkies that she can detonate on will, and shut down an entire building. There is a reason why she is under constant surveillance of SHIELD.
* {{Yakuza}}: Of a sort. Although she was not born in a gang and it is hinted that she overthrew the real Japanese Yakuza.

* GadgeteerGenius: She's a master inventor and engineer who actually improved on ComicBook/IronMan's original Iron Spider suit schematics, and provided Aaron and Jefferson with the new Prowler suit and the weapons they'd need to save Miles.

A psychic who has made a name for himself by kidnapping young children, giving them superpowers, then selling them off as minions to villains and crime lords.

* ChildrenForcedToKill: Under his hypnosis, the kids are compelled to do whatever he or the person who buys them tells them to do, and at one point forces the kids to hold each other at gunpoint to force the heroes into a SadisticChoice. Thankfully, Spider-Man, Rhino, and Captain America manage to defeat him before he finds any buyers quite ''that'' twisted, and the only crime any of the children are shown carrying out is a robbery.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The kids he targets are all ordinary civilians, so he's invested in several child-sized uniforms that give them superpowers. Little Eduardo Rodriguez, for example, gets [[ShockAndAwe electric powers]], and Rhino's niece Tanya gets [[RubberMan elastic powers]].
* MindControl: His power, which he primarily uses on the kids he abducts. He also tries to use it on Spider-Man, Rhino, and Captain America when they track him down, but finds this group (a teenager with HeroicWillpower to spare, a semi-reformed villain in full PapaWolf - err, Uncle Rhino -- mode, and ''the'' {{Determinator}} of the Marvel Universe) much harder to control than the children, implying that he's nowhere near as strong as Marvel's most recognizable telepaths like Professor X or Jean Grey.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He specifically says that kids he abducts come from families that, in his view, "don't belong" in the US - undocumented immigrants, homeless people, pro-vaccination families, and so on.
** Has a Neo Nazi Iron Cross tattooed on his arm so yeah, we know his political affiliations.
* SuperhumanTrafficking: Played with: he kidnaps kids so he can turn them into superhuman minions for the likes of Tombstone.
* TattooedCrook: Has two visible arm tatted sleeves with one having a Nazi Iron Cross wrapped around barbed wire.
* WouldHurtAChild: As evidenced by the human trafficking. He later tries to force the heroes to stand down by making the kids hold each other at gunpoint.

[[folder:The Assessor]]
!!Assessor
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/assessor_5.jpg]]
A mysterious man (or, equally likely, entity) interested in the upper limits of Spider-Man's abilities.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: He looks like a man, but speaks robotically and never shows any kind of emotion.
* TheBadGuyWins: He absolutely succeeds in his endeavor of capturing Miles, examining/torturing him for days, and gets away with it. Whatever his goal was, he succeeded. Sure, Miles escaped but has trauma and is extremely reluctant in finding and trying to stop the Assessor.
* BreakTheBadass: The Assessor's torment of Miles is so severe that it leaves him traumatized enough to stop being Spider-Man for several months. Keep in mind that the only other villain to successfully cause Miles this much distress was Ultimate Venom, ''his mother's killer''.
* ExpendableClone: The reason why he tested Miles’ physical capabilities so rigorously was to create a burner clone that was essentially a shell of Miles. Burner Clones only last a day.
* ForScience: As well as for the Executive Board Review.
* ImpliedDeathThreat: The Assessor doesn’t speak plainly. He uses corporate language and lexicons. Killing is too personal to say. The Assessor threatens to liquidate the test subject to not compromise board security.
* KaizoTrap: A non-Video game example. Miles wakes up thinking that he caught the entire examination off guard and breaks out of his straps. He defeats the guards including Asset Quantum. And just when he thinks he is homefree, the doors that he thought were his escape only led to a closed room. The Assessor appears again revealing that it was just another test.
* KillerGameMaster: Has this kind of personality.
* MadScientist: Has decided that child abduction and blackmail is the most reasonable way to study spider powers.
* RoyalWe: Only ever uses the pronoun "We", but Miles refers to the Assessor as a "him".
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He speas with complicated diction. He never expresses any intent without getting straight to the point or being transparent.
* SinisterSurveillance: Every aspect of his testing area is monitored down to his test subjects vitals.
* SpockSpeak: The Assessor speaks in mechanical, technical terms.
* {{Teleportation}}: Assessor has a mechanical minion called Asset Quantum. Its unique state allows it to teleport and avoid detection by Spider-Sense.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: And Viewer ''Number'' Confusion, for that matter. The Assessor exclusively uses the pronoun "we" in self-directed speech. When directly interacting with Miles, the Assessor is seen as a creepy mechanical man, who then vanishes after providing "Subject 002-004" with the redacted terms and conditions. From there, Miles only hears the Assessor as a disembodied voice through a speaker. Towards the end, we see a pair of human scientists, who Miles defeats during his escape attempt, but it's unclear if they were the Assessor, minions for the Assessor, or part of the escape attempt-themed simulation that the Assessor was running on Miles.
* WorthyOpponent: In his own disturbing way, he respects his prisoner and regularly states that Spider-Man is exceeding his expectations for his tests.
* WouldHurtAChild: Should "Subject 002-004" not comply with the Assessor's tests, he will direct a punishment either at Miles or his family and friends - pregnant Rio and teenagers Ganke, Judge, and Barbara included.
* YouAreNumberSix: Only ever calls Miles "Subject 002-004". When Aaron and Jefferson show up to rescue him, they are identified as "Motivational Assets".

!!Miles Morales of Earth-616 / Ultimatum
[[quoteright:314:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultimatum.png]]
The Miles Morales native to the regular Marvel Universe. A friend of Wilson Fisk who helped him get his start in life, before retiring to a life of quiet annonimity in the suburbs with his wife... until he lost her. Desperate to get her back, Miles returned to the world of crime, nearly running into both Spider-Men before disappearing into another, strangely familiar universe...
-----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike the Ultimate Marvel version of Miles, the Miles of Earth-616 was a member of the Rigoletto gang, is the best friend of the Kingpin and ultimately became a supervillain after a failed attempt to reform himself.
* AgeLift: Unlike Ultimate Miles, the Earth of Earth-616 was already an adult when he helped Fisk in his rise to become the Kingpin, making him older than Peter.
* BondVillainStupidity: He wants Miles gone from "his" universe, so he organises the capture of Miles, Aaron, and the entire Morales family. He doesn't succeed at the later, but he does manage to catch Miles, and takes the time to explain his whole history rather than just shove Miles through the damn portal. Naturally, this allows Aaron to save his nephew.
* TheBusCameBack: He disappears at the end of ''Spider-Men II''. He returns in ''Miles Morales: Spider-Man'' issue 250.
* CanonImmigrant: He's the classic Marvel Universe's version of Miles and briefly lived in the restored Ultimate Universe.
* CharacterTic: Apparently bites his lip when thinking.
* CostumeCopycat: As Ultimatum, his outfit is a mix of that of the founding members of Earth-1610's ComicBook/TheUltimates (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Giant Man), albeit in a different colour-scheme.
* TheDragon: He was the Dragon for Kingpin, but Fisk treated him as an equal going so far as to have Don Rigoletto kiss his hand. The Don refused.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: His minions and hired thugs are an incredibly diverse bunch. This becomes plot-relevant when some of them turn out to be Spanish speakers, allowing Spider-Man to pull a BilingualBackfire on him and get a lead on where Ultimatum is.
* EvilCounterpart: Unlike Ultimate Miles, 616 Miles is a supervillain, and friend and former lackey of the Kingpin.
* EvilPowerVacuum: After Starling and Miles took out Tombstone invading Brooklyn, Ultimatum decided to move in on the turf after Miles took a several month break from being Spider-Man due to being captured and tortured by the Assessor.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He's got some pretty nasty facial scars, gained when he tried protecting Wilson Fisk from an attack.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the vast differences between their universes and their histories, both Mileses share several of the same childhood memories, which is how this Miles proves their connection.
* JustAGangster: Despite being skilled and crafty enough to rob an ''alternate universe'' of some of its most famous weapons and technology, all this Miles desires at the end of the day is total control over the underworld of ''his'' reality's Brooklyn. He even confesses to being this trope to Aaron's face after inviting him over to his compound for a chat.
* TheLostLenore: His wife, Barbara. His journey into the recreated Ultimate Universe started with trying to get her back somehow.
* MythologyGag: His supervillain name is taken from the ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'' event, and his gear appears to be compiled from Earth-1610's Ultimates - Cap's shield, Thor's chest plate, and a combination of Iron Man and Giant Man's powers.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: He's got several groups of minions who wear costumes similar to his. They're looking to establish themselves in the criminal vacuum left behind when Spider-Man and Starling took down Tombstone. Not much is known about them other than that are aggressively pushing the Ultimate Oz formula that created Green Goblin and Ultimate Spider-man on the people of Brooklyn (sometimes literally, as Miles tries to save a man. when they force the drug down the guy's throat).
* RaceLift: He's much lighter-skinned than "our" Miles.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His outfit is the reverse of Miles’ Spidey suit — mainly red with black designs.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: As Ultimatum, he's capable of turning giant like Giant Man.
* SuperiorSuccessor: He frequently uses his sizeshifting powers to appear powerful and menacing. It's kind of funny when you see those scenes and remember Ultimate Henry Pym, the first Giant-Man of the Ultimate universe, who was anything but.
* {{Unperson}}: There's not a trace of him anywhere in the world. Peter Parker checked, even having Jessica Jones do her thing. She couldn't find a bean. This is because he asked Wilson Fisk to hide all knowledge of him so he could live in peace.
* VillainousFriendship: With Wilson Fisk, of all people. Miles helped him in his rise to power, and Wilson still treats him as a friend, probably one of the few people this can be said of.
** It goes beyond just a mere friendship. They are best friends. Miles' helped Wilson Fisk's rise to power and eventually established him as the Kingpin of crime. Wilson Fisk is known for his greed and avarice gave Miles control of Brooklyn and went as far as to say that he wasn't giving him anything that he didn't already build.

'''Miles:''' It's not important.
* CaptainErsatz: He’s pretty much just the Pharaoh from Literature/SoonIWillBeInvincible. Confusing, pathetic supervillain white guy in non-thematic Egyptian costume wielding an icy weapon? Check.
* AnIcePerson: His scepter gives him the ability to shoot and freeze things in ice.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He terrorizes a museum with his ice powers, but he's so ridiculous and easy for Miles to take down that he comes across as pitiable more than anything.

!!Maximus Gargan/The Scorpion

A Mexican crime lord who followed The Prowler up to New York for revenge for a double-cross. Once there, he decided the city needed a new Kingpin, and set out to consolidate his territory and terrorize The Prowler. Possesses nigh impenetrable skin and wields a fearsome chained flail similar to a scorpion's tail.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: He's Mexican and the second person to use the Scorpion identity.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: ''Maximus'' Gargan.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: He has the word "Scorpion" tattooed across the front of his neck. Since he's a huge guy with a bull neck, it's really prominent in any frontal shots.
* TheBrute: Although a fairly eloquent and intelligent example. He has the cleverness and ambition to (try to) assemble a criminal empire. However, his anger issues tend to turn anyone who bothers him into paste, [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority though this isn't necessarily a hindrance]].
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Is drawn to resemble Creator/DannyTrejo, down to the placement of his tattoos (though Maximus has ink more relevant to his character).
* CompositeCharacter: Of Mac Gargan (uses the name "Scorpion" and almost similar real name) and Black Tartantula (a Hispanic crime lord who, likewise, has ambiguous superhuman powers).
* DecompositeCharacter: 616 Mac Gargan becomes both the Clone Saga Scorpion-Peter Parker, and a Mexican crime lord. Neither actually ''resemble'' him all that much, except that the former has the costume and the latter (almost) his name. As noted above, Maximus more closely resembles another Spidey villain, the Black Tartantula.
* EpicFlail: He can demolish entire large rooms filled with equipment and containers in just a couple swings.
* ImplacableMan: He's nigh-invulnerable and shows it.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Though an explanation may be forthcoming, the hints given so far about his strength and resilience are incredibly vague, and he is otherwise just another crime lord. Even when in FBI custody sometime in the past, they were unable to confirm whether or not he was superhuman, and rumors of his powers likewise travel in criminal circles without any confirmation. The Scorpion implies that his impenetrable skin has something to do with where he came from.
* MadeOfIron: Can take electrical shocks and blunt force trauma pretty well, in addition to his tough skin, though it's unclear as to whether it's actually SuperToughness or not.
* MissionFromGod: Once he sees how pathetic criminals in New York were, he realizes that God could only have sent him to New York to turn things around.
* MoodSwinger: When he loses his temper, ''he really loses his temper''.
* MythologyGag: Mac Gargan → Maximus Gargan, and of course the scorpion flail.
* NighInvulnerable: Overlaps with MadeOfIron. Sufficiently sharp blades or razors can become embedded in his skin, but not pierce completely through. The pain can incapacitate him, though.
* OneSteveLimit: During the Clone Saga, one of Peter's clones was clad in a [[MythologyGag cybernetic suit of armour equipped with an acid-spewing tail]], and was the only clone aside from Spider-Woman to survive.
* RaceLift: Once his connection to the mainstream Scorpion was solidified, we have the Scorpion going from Caucasian to Mexican.
* ReligiousBruiser: He's a steadfast Catholic, and considers it his God-anointed duty to take control of NYC's criminal underbelly.
* VisionaryVillain: Comes to believe that the crime element of New York is both unorganized and weak; he wants to take back control of crime and bring some class to the criminal underworld.
* YouCantFightFate: Probably related to his belief in his MissionFromGod, he sees fate as the series of challenges life presents you; you either bow before them or fight through them -- either way, there's only one possible outcome based on who you are.

[[folder:Venom II]]
!! Venom II[=/=]Dr. Conrad Marcus
[[quoteright:251:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Venom_Conrad_Marcus_1606.png]]

The third host of the Venom symbiote. He once worked as a scientist for Oscorp but switched to Roxxon, and when he learned Betty Brant was investigating an OZ-infected spider that had given Miles Morales his powers, he stole a sample of the Venom Suit from Roxxon and used it to kill Betty. He confronted and injured Jefferson Morales, who Betty's notes indicated was Spider-Man II, but was driven off by Miles.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Conrad Marcus was a middle-aged African-American man, in contrast to the teenaged-to-twenty something Caucasian Eddie Brock.
* AmbiguousSituation: There's a lot to cast doubt on whether his supposedly secret identity is actually that. Notably, it was at one point made clear that this version of Venom was operating without a host, and another that he had a mysterious connection to Miles' father.
** [[spoiler:When Conrad first appeared, Osborn offered him a lot of money to replicate the spider who created Spider-Man because Osborn couldn't do it himself. When he learned that the new Spider-Man was indirectly made by him through Betty Brant, he may have decided to reclaim what was his or at least abduct Miles, since the spider Betty brought him died and he needed to learn how he did it in order to profit from it.]]
* CombatTentacles: His first appearance in the third volume is him shanking Betty Brant with a razor tentacle.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Conrad Marcus appeared in the very first issue creating the spider that bit Miles.
* EyelessFace: As Venom, Marcus's eyes become progressively smaller until they disappear completely.
* HulkingOut: Initially resembles a skeletal version of Eddie Brock's Venom form with clawed feet, but quickly becomes far larger and more bestial in appearance than Eddie was, [[PrimalStance walking on all fours]] and having an elongated snout resembling the giant Venom in ''VideoGame/SpiderManWebOfShadows''.
* KilledOffForReal: By the police opening fire on him after Spider-Man II stripped him of the symbiote.
* IAmAHumanitarian: Tries to eat a police officer and later absorbs Miles, which backfires when Miles uses his Venom Blasts to pull a ChestBurster and strip Marcus of the symbiote.
* LegacyCharacter: The third person to don a sample of the Venom Suit.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Used to work as a scientist for Oscorp before switching to Roxxon.
* OverlyLongTongue: Even longer than Eddie Brock's.
* PrimalStance: Becomes ''far'' more bestial in appearance as Venom than Eddie Brock was.
* SanitySlippage: The Venom Suit increasingly influences Markus, wanting to bond to Spider-Man.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: For some reason, Marcus's sample of the Venom Suit was drawn to Miles Morales in the same way the original was drawn to Peter Parker.

[[folder: Donald Roxxon]]
Donald Roxxon was born into a wealthy family and became the heir to Roxxon Corporation. After his father died, the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical empire was left to him despite not having any business skills nor the genius of his would be Rival Norman Osborn or business tycoon, Justin Hammer. After losing Captain America, Nick Fury enlisted the help of several corporations that may be interested in finding the next super-soldier program. So he did whatever he could to compete with Osborn and his competitors to gain the next super-soldier formula since it granted contracts from the Military even sinking to child abduction, human experimentation(way before Osborn even considered), and many unethical means.

* AbusiveParents: It has been stated that his dad hated him and even sometimes beat Roxxon.
* BigBadWannabe: He fervently believes in his own abilities, but he just does not cut it as a menacing villain compared to the likes of Osborn. However, he does have money to hire competent people who make up for his incompetence.
* ButtMonkey: Long before his introduction, Roxxon has been regarded as a bumbling oaf who fell into money. His own father abused him and hated him. His own scientists readily acknowledge how crazy insecure he is and only useful for money to fund their experiments.
* CompensatingForSomething: He tries to make up for his lack of intelligence and business skills to compete with the likes of Hammer and Oscorp by hiring scientists to do his experiments without actually understanding what they are doing. The only reason that he lasted so long as a corporation was because Osborn and Hammer took themselves out.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: This guy takes the cake. He is only formidable because he is extremely rich and desperate enough to make profit to the extent that he suspends ethics.
* DependingOnTheArtist: His appearance changes all the freaking time. About the only thing that remains consistent is his [[GagNose nose]].
** In his first appearance, he's overweight and clean-shaven.
** In his second appearance in Ultimate Enemy, he's suddenly thin and has a moustache.
** In his third appearance, when Miles confronts him, he's suddenly clean-shaven and slightly portly again.
* DisposableVagrant: Roxxon, would kidnap or experiment on people who nobody would miss. There was an entire list of experiments.
* EvilGloating: From the minute Miles and Spider-Woman burst into his office, he starts bragging.
* ItsAllAboutMe: A serious case of this.
* ManChild: His first appearance establishes his backstory as a rich kid that spent his entire life blowing cash on partying until he was forced to take charge of a multimillion dollar company. Explains a lot.
* {{Motormouth}}: Not in the traditional sense, but it's pretty clear his mouth moves much, much quicker than his brain.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: This guy placed the instruments to his demise and inadvertently made an entire super-hero team hate him.
** First, he unlawfully granted pardon to a criminal in order to have his scientists experiment on her. After the experiment was successful, she escaped and then her child who she was pregnant with gained powers as well came back fifteen years later and helped secure his demise.
** Second, he worked with Dr. Octopus to clone Peter Parker multiple times. One of those clones turned out to be the gender swapped clone, Jessica Drew. She harbored se much resentment for Roxxon Corporation that she had them infiltrated twice upon finding out the ties to her creation. Her resentment towards her former creators was the main reason why she formed the teen of pissed off teenage supers who also have been mistreated by Roxxon.
** Third, Cloak and Dagger were more immediate than the previous two, but after kidnapping the kids, having their deaths faked, and then experimented on, Cloak and Dagger escaped from Roxxon, made public news that drew the attention of Jessica Drew and helped Miles come out his retirement. The reason that they were able to get in contact with Spider-woman, Spider-man, and Bombshell was because Roxxon sent out a hit to attempting to cover up his tracks which led to a fight.
** Finally, Miles Morales came out of retirement because of what he did to the previous four. Then he found out that Roxxon was involved with the Venom Symbiote that caused his mom's death, and was the one who hired Aaron Jefferson, the Prowler, to steal from the Oscorp building which led to Miles becoming Spider-Man.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: For all his incompetence and boobery, he still has moments of competence. Not to mention whatever it was he did to Miles' dad all those years ago.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Tries to act like he is "the leader of men" and SHIELD won't take him under custody because he works with them. He turns out to be wrong on both accounts.
* UngratefulBastard: Spider-Man inadvertently saves multiple projects from superpowered mercenaries? Hire other mercenaries to track and kidnap him so you can interrogate him on why he would. Angrily called out by Peter himself, why would you restrain and interrogate someone apparently helping you? No wonder other costumed superpowers are mad with you if this is how you show gratitude.

See main page [[ComicBook/MilesMorales here]]

* HeelFaceTurn: In ''Spider-Man'' #240, he [[HeelRealization concedes]] that Miles was right all along and switches sides. When he resurfaces, he's sold the Iron Spider suit back to its [[ComicBook/IronMan creator]] and used the money to build an honest life for himself. He and his nephew awkwardly but sincerely re-establish the bond they had when Miles was younger, and he is doing everything in his power to avoid getting dragged back into crime. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, when Miles is in mortal danger, he's forced to become the Prowler again, getting his gear back in exchange for doing Ceres Goldstein some favors.]]

--> How about...that? You are...just...like me.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Conrad Marcus was a middle-aged African-American man, in contrast to the teenaged-to-twentysomething Caucasian Eddie Brock.

*** in Miles Morales: Spider-man #3, she teases Miles about Spider-man rescuing her cousin and sarcastically inquired if he knew anything about Spider-man rescuing him. Note that it wasn't just Spider-man but also Captain America and Rhino and in the previous issue, Miles went to her house and declares that he will find her cousin.
*** Miles Morales: Spider-man #4, on a day she, Miles, and Judge decide to play hooky, there are several instances when Miles disappears to save the day. Each time Miles suspiciously comes back after Spider-man appears, she is completely skeptical of each lie Miles' uses.

** In Miles Morales: Spider-man novel, Ganke repeatedly gets Miles to relish his superpowers and show off with them by getting him involved in a dunk contest for money with some streetball players and coercing Miles to join a dance competition. The latter ended in violence.
** He breaks taboo and tells others that Miles is Spider-man or he knows who Spider-man is.

** It pays off when Miles has to face Norman Osborn, [[spoiler: the man who killed Peter Parker.]] Due to Ganke's prodding, Miles has an idea of what to expect when fighting him and ends up ''[[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping him]]'' while delivering a cathartic ShutUpHannibal speech.
