Desperate to join others like him, and feeling the absence of friends in his own life, Miles secretly follows Gwen into the multiverse, where he lands on O’Hara’s radar after preventing a “canon event” - a tragedy crucial to a Spider-Man’s development. Miles learns she has joined the Spider-Society, a multiversal union of Spider-people connected by “the web of life and destiny” who want to stop the multiverse from falling apart, under the leadership of the tormented O’Hara. The threat of Miles’s self-proclaimed nemesis, the Spot (Jason Schwartzman), a scientist transformed by the explosion of the collider and given the power to open portals to other dimensions, brings Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman (Hailee Steinfeld) back into Miles’s life. The past has come back to haunt Miles in more ways than one in Across the Spider-Verse. It’s this world, Earth-42, where Miles finds himself captive, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The spider, brought to Miles’s Earth-1610 by the Into the Spider-Verse antagonist Kingpin’s super-collider machine, was actually from Earth-42, leaving that world without a spider to bite Peter Parker, Miles Morales, or anyone else who could carry the mantle, and thus created a world without Spider-Man. But what Across the Spider-Verse reveals is that Project 42 wasn’t from his world. He’s bitten by a genetically engineered spider, Project 42, and when his world’s Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Chris Pine) dies, he becomes the new Spider-Man, albeit facing a steep learning curve. When Morales was introduced in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, his origin played out much like it does in the comics. At least that’s what Miguel O’Hara (Oscar Isaac), leader of the Spider-Society, believes. Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) was never supposed to be Spider-Man.
