Miles Morales

Black teenager Miles Morales (Miles Morales) debuted in the 4th issue of "Ultimate Fallout" (Ultimate Fallout) . After the death of Peter Parker of the Ultimate Universe, Miles, who accidentally gained the ability of spiders, decided to put on a battle suit and become the second Spider-Man.

In addition to having basically the same skills as Peter Parker, Miles also gained additional stealth and electric paralysis abilities.

In the comics, after discovering his superpowers, Meisr had no intention of being a Spider-Man. But after witnessing the scene where Peter Parker died in order to stop the villain, Miles felt guilty for not doing anything at the time, and began to realize that he should use his ability to do good deeds.

Myers, who just debuted, wears cheap Spiderman cos costumes, and is often complained by passers-by about bad taste in clothes.

Later, when S.H.I.E.L.D. was attacked by an electro-optical man, Miles was recognized by Nick Ferry for helping to defeat it. He was given a set of black spider suits presented by the director, and Miles became the ultimate universe. The new spiderman.

Toby's Spider-Man

In the film's opening Spider-Man's narrative, several classic scenes of Toby's "Spider-Man" trilogy appeared.

Kissing upside down , from "Spider-Man" (2002).

The forced stop of the train , from "Spider-Man 2" (2004).

Meeting with Mary Simplicity, encountering a car crash , from "Spider-Man 2" (2004).

Of course, there is also the magical dance in Spider-Man 3.

In the film 616 Spider-Man also mentioned that he had broken his back. When filming "Spider-Man 2", because Toby Maguire suffered a back injury while filming "The Pentium Age", this scene was specially arranged: Peter fell from a high building to the ground, and when he got up, he stroked his back and cried out for pain.

Classic lines

The classic line of the Spider-Man series "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility " was uttered by Uncle Ben at the beginning of the film. This sentence first appeared in the 15th issue of Spider-Man's debut "Fantasy". It turned out to be just a narration in the book. In the later comics, uncle evolved into Peter Parker’s most profound teaching, which made him decide to use his abilities to become a hero.

In the opening scene of Uncle Ben stepping to heaven, it pays tribute to the 160th issue of the comic "Ultimate Spider-Man" , where Uncle Ben and Peter are helping each other away, and Peter of the Ultimate Universe is also in this issue. dead.

Spiderman endorsement

In the film, Spider-Man endorsed a breakfast cereal called Spidey-O's . In fact, in the 90s, Ralston Company and Spider-Man cartoons jointly launched a Spider-Man-themed cereal.

The indescribable Spider-Man popsicle is also a real product...

theme song

The theme song of Spider-Man comes from the Spider-Man cartoons of the 60s, and the style and lyrics of that year were very brainwashed.

DC Comics

In the film, Miles loves graffiti, and Superman and Batman can be seen in the paintings on the walls of his room because he is a fan of DC Comics in the comics.

Police car number

The license plate number of the police father of Miles in the film is RFD-960 , which is a common police license plate number in the classic series "Law and Order" . The voice of Miles’ father was actor Brian Terry Henry, and the first drama he appeared in when he debuted was "Law and Order."

In addition, Mahersala Ali, who voiced Uncle Aaron , also starred in "Law and Order: Special Victims."

Miles girlfriend

The pink-haired girl who greeted Miles on the street may be Katherine Bishop from the ultimate comic. She was in a relationship with Miles and later revealed that her father was originally a member of Hydra. Miles broke up with Katie after defeating him.

Come on, Miles and Gwen in the comics are already official CPs.

Donald Glover

When Miles visited Aaron's house, the TV showed a clip of Donald Glover wearing a Spider-Man costume in the American TV series "Waste Wood League." It is said that this image in the play inspired Marvel to create the "little black spider" Miles Morales.

Donald himself once voiced Miles in the ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, and also fought for a role in "The Amazing Spider-Man." At that time, fans' support for him in Spider-Man was very high. Later, Donald starred in the MCU "Spider-Man: Homecoming" as Aaron Davis who bought ice cream for his nephew (Myers).

Spider 42

In the film, Miles is bitten by a mutant spider number 42 to gain superpowers, which is consistent with the setting in the comics. The difference is that the No. 42 spider in the comics was transformed by a serum developed by Norman Oss . Peter Parker was accidentally bitten and became Spider-Man.

Later, when the Prowler (Myers' uncle) sneaked into the Osborne Lab to steal, a mutant spider sneaked into his bag.

Later, Miles Morales visited his uncle's apartment and was accidentally bitten by the spider, thus gaining the spider power.

Number 42 appears many times in the film, including the number before Peter's narrative in the opening scene, and the number that Miles fell from a taxi after he jumped out of the building. In the comics, Miles was also number 42 when he was drawn by lottery to get his admission degree.

Spiderman comics

A comic book titled "True Life Tales of Spider-Man" appeared many times in the film , which corresponds to "Untold Tales of Spider-Man" published in 1995 in reality. .

And the comic covers in the film are all traceable:

The comic book cover that appeared in the opening Spider-Man's narrative is from Issue 186 of The Amazing Spider-Man .

The comic that Miles took after discovering the spider's abilities came from the 15th issue of the classic "Marvel and Fantasy", which is the first comic of Spider-Man .

After Miles met Peter from the parallel world, a comic titled "Two Spider-Men" appeared on the screen . In fact, the comic about the first encounter between Miles and Peter is called "Spider-Men" (Spider-Men).

Before my roommate fainted when he saw the Spider-Man, the comic title he held was "Imagine That There Was More Than One Spider-Man" (if there was more than one Spider-Man) , which perfectly echoed the content of the plot. It is worth mentioning that this imaginary comic does not actually exist, but Marvel did launch the comic series "If" . This series collects various imaginary stories that take place in parallel worlds, such as "If Peter Parker Becomes the Punisher" and the like.

In Miles’ dormitory, you can also see the comics "The Amazing Spider-Man" Issue 7, Issue 40, and Issue 46. Vulture , Green Goblin, and Shocker appear on the cover, respectively. ) .

Comic Author

The name of B. Bendis , the creator of Miles Morales , can be seen in Miles' mobile phone address book . When Miles finally recognized that he was a little black spider later in the film, his name was also printed on the cover of the comics that appeared on the screen.

In addition, the names of Sara Phichelli (the painter of Miles) , Dan Slott (the creator of the Spider Universe) and Jason Reynolds (the author of the Little Black Spider novel) can also be seen in the address book .

In addition, I believe everyone has discovered that the communication software used on Myers' mobile phone is Tencent QQ .

Later, on the streets of New York, you can also see a Ramen shop (Romita Ramen) that pays tribute to the cartoonists, father and son John Romita Sr. and John Romita Jr ..

There is also a big coffee in Myers' father's address book, he is Peter Parker's co-creator Steve Ditko (Steve Ditko) . Steko is a legend in the field of American comics. With his unique artistic style, he has given unique charm to the characters such as Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. It is a pity that Dietko has already passed away in June 2018, at the age of 90 years.

Stan Lee

There is a heavyweight guest star in the film, he is another creator of Spider-Man, the beloved old man- Stan Lee (Stan Lee) . The manga master also left us in 2018, but unlike Steve Dittko’s low-key personality, Stan Lee is keen to perform in film and television works, and every time he appears on the screen, he will surprise the audience. .

In addition, when Miles and Peter fell on the streets of New York, Stan Lee could be seen walking by them.

Multiverse

In the film, time and space are intertwined due to the collision of parallel universes, causing Spider-Man in different universes to appear at the same time. It is easy to think of comic story lines such as "Secret War" and "Spider Universe".

In Marvel's 2015 event "Secret War" , the 616 main universe collided with the ultimate universe, forming a completely different world (which has since become the main universe). Peter Parker (E-616), Miles (E-1610) and Spider Wenger (E-65) are among the survivors of this big incident.

On the eve of the "secret war", a family of horrors called the successors began to slaughter spider-powered people across the parallel universe to extract life energy. After the Ultimate Spider-Man Zhang Parker witnessed all this, he decided to form a team composed of the parallel universe Spider-Man to jointly resist the aggression of the successor family. This is the "Spider Universe" event where many Spider-Man gather .

The Spider-Gwen, Shadow Spider-Man, Penny Parker, and Spider Pig who appeared in the film have long been recorded in the comics. They are all Spider-Man in their respective parallel universes.

Spider Gwen

Spider Gwen first appeared in the second issue of Edge of Spider-Verse , whose real name is Gwen Stacy .

In fact, Gwen Stacy in the main universe appeared as early as the 31st issue of "The Amazing Spider-Man" in 1965, and was one of Peter Parker's ex-girlfriends. In the battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, Gwen fell from a height, and Parker hurriedly shot out spider silk to save her. As a result, due to inertia, Gwen broke his neck and died.

Gwen from Earth-65 has a completely different origin story. In this universe, Gwen was accidentally bitten by a radioactive spider, and from then on he gained the power of the spider and became the "Spider-Woman" of New York City .

In this universe, Peter Parker, who has been bullied for a long time, desires to be like Spider-Woman, so he conducts genetic experiments on himself and turns into a Lizardman. Peter finally got out of control and was wounded and killed in the battle with Gwen.

The film also shows footage of Gwen playing drums. In the comics, Gwen is a burst drummer and joined the girl band "Mary Janes" (Mary Janes) formed by Mary Jane .

In addition, the voice of Gwen in the film is Hailee Steinfeld, and her starring "Bumblebee" will be released soon.

Spiderman

First appeared in the Marvel Tails comics in 1983 , whose real name is Peter Porker (Peter Porker, pork) , and the hero's nickname is Spider-Ham (Spider-Ham) .

Peter was originally a small spider raised by May Porker, a mad scientific pig. Mei, who became irritable due to the experiment’s influence, bit Peter and turned him into a pig, but at the same time retained the ability of a spider , Has since become an extraordinary spider pigman.

The parallel universe where Spider Pig lives is Earth-8311 . All characters in this universe are images of animals. For example, Captain America is a cat (Captain Americat), Iron Man is a mouse (Iron Mouse), and Hulk is a rabbit (Hulk). -Bunny), Black Panther is a panda (Black Panda), Ant-Man has become an Ant (Ant Ant), Mary Jane is a buffalo (Mary Jane Waterbuffalo)...

Before Leaving Pigman left, he said "That's all folks" (that's all folks), which should not be said (partners, this is the end of today). In fact, this sentence is the conclusion of the 1930 "Bunny Bugs" series of animations, and it is also a The pig said it.

Shadow Spiderman

Spider-Man Noir (Spider-Man Noir) first appeared in the 2009 personal magazine "Spider-Man: Shadow", and his true identity is Peter Parker of Earth-90214 .

The timeline of this world in the comics is set during the Great Depression in the United States in 1933. At that time, the United States was controlled by major powers and consortia, and the people at the bottom were oppressed for a long time. After Uncle Ben was brutally killed by Norman Osborne (Green Devils) thugs, the young and passionate Peter chose to devote himself to the news, using it as a weapon to fight crime and protect the weak.

Later, when Peter was bitten by a poisonous spider that emerged from the disused statue, he fell into a coma and dreamed of the spider god-Annecy. When he woke up from his dream, he found that he had acquired the mysterious spider power. From then on, Peter used the revolver as a riot weapon and became the shadowy Spider-Man feared by criminals.

There are elements of Japanese animation everywhere in Earth-14512 where Petunia is located, especially "Evangelion". Except for the Spider-Man Mecha SP//dr, which looks like Asuka’s red No. 2, the classmates in Penny’s class are clearly Asuka, Ayanami, Nagisa Kaoru and Ikura Shinji...

Even the Ghost in the Shell and Akira’s Jintian have beaten soy sauce in this universe.

616 Peter

It is mentioned in the film that Peter Parker of the parallel universe broke up with Mary Jane and divorced because he did not want children. In fact, their mingling in the comics is more complicated. Because Peter disclosed his secret identity as Spider-Man during the Civil War, Aunt May was shot by a killer. In order to save the dying aunt, Peter and Mary decided to trade with the demon Mephisto and exchange their marriage for Aunt May's life . So in the timeline after revising the history, Peter and Mary have never been married.

Peter also mentioned the death of Aunt May, in fact Aunt May has "dead" several times in the comics . In the 400th issue of "Amazing Spider-Man", Aunt May died of a stroke. Before leaving, she told Peter that she had always known the secret of Spider-Man, but it was later revealed that the person who died pretended to be Aunt May Counterfeit goods.
