Is miles morales gay
Do my eyes deceive me? Spider-Man news that doesn’t involve Tom Holland? Can you save us Britney Spears? Can we be saved?
In terms of men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, queer characters featured on screen add Loki, Deadpool, Korg and Phastos. When you factor in backing and supporting characters, this number hits almost a dozen.
While Spider-Man has yet to feature a gay webslinger while exploring the Multiverse, one does exist in comic book form – who was introduced in Edge of the Spiderverse in September 2022.
But that doesn’t mean its creators are shying away from LGBT representation. The little pride flags on sale on a street corner in the first Spider-Man game were duly noted. The sequel, however, is showing that everyone is worthy of a little help from a famous superhero.
As noted by The Gamer, here’s a list of LGBT representation in Spider-Man 2:
- LGBT supportive street art featured throughout the city
- Street flags that represent all members of the queer spectrum including gay pride, trans pride and respect for other orientat
Review of Marvel’s Spider-man: Miles Morales
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the latest addition to the Spider-Man video game franchise. The discharge lends itself to the popularity of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This was the first movie about Spider-man characters, other than Peter Parker. It was also the first time a person of color was the star in a Spider-Man movie. But, how does this all translate into a video game experience?
History of Spider-Man
In 1962, Stan Lee released the first Spider-man comic. By the late 70s, his popularity was cemented into the world of Marvel comics and he was becoming one of the most popular heroes. The first video game came to the Atari 2600 system in 1982. It was a uncomplicated vertical scroller, building climber catching bad guys.
By the 1990s, we were seeing Spider-Man starring in fighting side scroller styles. Super NES released Spider-Man vs. Venom: Maximum Carnage where you could play as either character. Then on to Capcom spongey Marvel Super Heroes. These played similar to X-men: Children of the Atom.

Everyone’s Talking About Miles Morales
It doesn’t matter if comics are something you keep up with or not, you’ve probably heard the news: Spider-Man is black. Yes, you’re reading it here for possibly the third or fourth occasion, but it’s true. Our resident wall-crawler is now a person of colour, and people are not happy.
In case you haven’t heard anything at all about this change, allow me to restate what’s been said a thousand times already. In the Ultimate Marvel universe Peter Parker has died, and replacing him is a half black, half Latino teenager by the mention of Miles Morales.
Ever since this news was announced by USA Today five days ago the internet has erupted in outrage. Many see Marvel’s decision as the purest example of forced diversity, that in the politically correct culture we live in this is just one more addition to a long line of changes made to form us more accepting.
What’s really riling people up, though, is the media. Erik Hayden’s article for The Atlantic Wire entitled “The Backlash to the
The Case For Gay Miles Morales [Pride Week]
Everyone needs a Spider-Man. Sure, Peter Parker might be good for some people, but my Spider-Man was always Mayday Parker from the MC2. I want Spider-Man to be anyone. I want there to be a Spider-Man that every comic reader can identify with. When Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli unleashed Miles Morales on the world, it was a godsend. Despite how awesome Tom Holland is, I still think Miles should have been the Spider-Man we saw in Captain America: Civil War.
When I was younger, I was depressed a lot. I'm queer, it's not too unexpected. What got me through that was reading massive amounts of Spidey comics. And while I love every issue I read of Amazing Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter Parker doesn't represent me. Sure, he's pale, and a dork, but that's kinda it.
Before I even knew I was a girl (remember not knowing your gender? didn't it suck?) I loved Mayday. I felt connected to her in some weird primal way. I had a small, manga-sized collection of her comics. I still
