According to creative director Bryan Intihar, Miles Morales’ role in Sony’s Spider-Man PS4 game grew over the development process. Originally, Miles’ role was minimal, until Intihar went and read up on the character’s history. From there, the relationship between him and Peter was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

“I just fell in love with the character,” Intihar told GamesTM. “Just like MJ can provide a different perspective on the world, I thought Miles and his relationship to Peter brings something different.”

In the game, the two will meet courtesy of Aunt May’s job at F.E.A.S.T. “I’m pretty excited about him and where we take him. It’s going to be something. It’s going to surprise people,” he shared.

Brian Michael Bendis has been the shepherd of the Ultimate Universe since the beginning, formulating the basis of the entire line with his run on Ultimate Spider-Man that began nearly 13 years ago. Not content to settle into one status quo for too long, Ultimate Peter Parker was killed off in early 2011 to make way for a replacement hero named Miles Morales, who has since continued the Ultimate tradition of keeping these stories full of surprises.

Let’s keep it rolling with a trio of Ultimate Spidey questions from SpiderX. First he wanted to know, “How does Miles’ Venom Blast work? We saw him blow up a lego ship, stun people, send it through web in Spider-Men and it doesn’t play well with electronics. Is it tactile only?”
Paniccia: The way I’ve looked at it is as a neurotoxin that Miles is learning how to control as he gains more experience. Depending on threat level or emotional state, the chemical combination gets more volatile and can disrupt the target on a molecular level. No? Okay, I tried.
