Abstrakt
Spider-Man is a superhero that over the last sixty years gained not only the love of his fans
but also significance as a literary character. With the appearance of a new Spider-Man, one
that is not Caucasian, and the ongoing trend of race-bending characters in remakes of films
and tv shows, many people begin questioning the prudence of such actions and often
speaking out against them.
Miles Morales, the mix-raced Spider-Man, seems to be a perfect answer to those who
criticize using already established intellectual properties to promote racial representation and
political correctness by changing the race of the protagonists.
This paper compares Miles and Peter Parker, trying to establish the core elements of what
exactly makes Spider-Man who he is, and how Miles Morales stands apart from other
instances of race-bending already established characters.
