25. Miles Morales - Spider-Man (White Delegation) - Racial Draft Season 2


Miles Morales' new backstory -- as per Shaun Martineau -- is as follows:

Miles Morales was born into a powerful yet loving family; his mother Ria Morales was a prominent politician who came from old Italian money, his father Jefferson was a Police Captain. Their stories entwined long before Miles was born, with Jefferson becoming corrupted by Ria's family and influence. He now functions as her eyes and ears in the force, protecting her investments from within a corrupt institution.

Miles saw only the best in his parents. A mother who lifted her community (but only the right members of it) and a father who protected it. As he grew older, he became more critical of the systems of law they worked in. This criticism was fostered by his uncle Aaron, who was pushed out of the family when he tried to open Miles' eyes to who his parents really were.

After discovering his powers, and bolstered by his father's agitated reports of figures like the Prowler, Miles decided to take up the mantle of Spider-Man to uplift and protect his community, like his parents before him. He keeps this secret close to his chest, afraid of his father's disdain for superheroes and his mother's own anti-vigilante political stances. Will Miles be able to pull his parents towards the light or will he be corrupted alongside them?

The White Delegation has also provided a fancast. The fancast for Miles Morales is David Henrie (Wizards of Waverly Place).
