Prowler Miles: Dark Secrets & Shocking Backstory REVEALED!

Anticipation surges among fans as it’s confirmed the movie will hit screens in 2027. In preparation, they’re revisiting some fantastic animated superhero films from recent years. With intricate details to scrutinize and hidden meanings to decipher, their knowledge of the Spider-Verse expands. However, one of the most captivating realms is also one of its gloomiest: Earth-42. This is the home dimension of the spider that bit Miles, but more significantly, it’s where a parallel version of him emerged as the Prowler.

Despite having limited screen time, Prowler Miles carries a rich history in his background. From enduring tragic losses and witnessing his city spiraling into anarchy, Miles transformed into a character driven by necessity, doing whatever was required to stay alive. However, most information about him is derived from the visit to Earth-42, providing fans with insights into the Miles Morales of that world.

J. Jonah Jameson Reported On Them

Upon reaching his building’s rooftop, Miles noticed that New York City appeared to be in ruins. It wasn’t until the familiar voice of J.K. Simmons’ J. Jonah Jameson echoed from a news report that the cause became clear: The Sinister Six Cartels had seized control of the city. Lamenting the absence of anyone capable of stopping them, this revelation shed light on why conditions were so dire in Earth-42 – the supervillains held almost unchecked power.

In Earth-42, it’s unclear which version of the Sinister Six is currently active, but they are expected to play a significant role in the upcoming storyline. It’s evident that they have brought a city to ruin and displayed such vile actions that even J. Jonah Jameson would call for a hero’s intervention. In the coming years, fans will witness the portrayal of these characters within the Spider-Verse, but given the grim nature of Earth-42, it seems likely they will be the most ruthless criminals yet encountered.

How Jeff Passed Away Is Still Unknown

Sadly, in this universe, Miles’ father, Jeff, passed away. This event seemed to set Miles on a path leading to his transformation into the detached young man who met Miles from Earth-1610. The circumstances surrounding Jeff’s death remain unclear, but hints scattered around Earth-42 suggest a possible theory: Jeff may have perished while attempting to thwart the Sinister Six. A large mural that Miles spray-painted in his memory labels Jeff as a hero, suggesting he was a notable figure before his demise and Miles wishes the city to forever remember him.

In the context of established events, it seems logical that Jeff was on the verge of being appointed captain. Given the perilous state of Earth-42, with no superheroes to aid the city, Jeff would likely have rallied the defense forces in an attempt to protect them. This act might have made him a target, and against formidable adversaries like the Sinister Six, he ultimately may have been defeated. However, it’s essential to note that this is all conjecture. What can be confirmed is that Jeff is no longer here, and his loss has left a profound wound in every family member’s heart.

Aaron Was Likely a Negative Influence on Miles

In Earth-42 Miles’ life, there was a significant shift regarding the adults present. Following his father’s demise, Aaron started showing up more often to assist Miles and Rio financially. The movie suggests that Aaron has been covering Rio’s rent and groceries as well. Given that Aaron is his brother, it’s only natural for him to want to look after Miles and Rio in their time of need.

It appears that Earth-42’s version of him still harbors uncharitable traits. He possesses the abilities and resources to operate as a criminal mastermind, though he chose to take a backseat and let his nephew, Miles, assume the role of the Prowler in this universe. This shift in their typical relationship is intriguing, with Miles stepping into the limelight instead of Aaron. However, contrary to expectations, Miles evolved into something far darker than his heroic counterpart on this planet.

The Full Effects of Jeff’s Death Have Not Been Seen

In this world, Miles’ mom appears intriguing as she appears to keep a slight emotional distance from him. Contrasting with the Earth-1610B Rio who was nurturing, attentive, and supportive towards Miles, offering guidance when he seemed troubled, the Rio of Earth-42 seems less inclined to do so. A scene unfolded where her son from another universe displayed clear signs of distress, yet she remained aloof throughout, an unusual behavior for her. This could be due to some unresolved trauma she is grappling with.

The death of her husband had diverse effects on the family. While Miles resorted to vigilantism, Rio is grappling with financial hardships. To keep a roof over their heads, she’s taken multiple extra jobs and often leaves for extended periods. In her struggle to survive, she has given Aaron more responsibility in their lives, which could explain why Miles has adopted the role of the Prowler. It wasn’t her choice. Being a single mother amidst the tumultuous world she inhabited would drive anyone to isolate themselves as a means to shield against additional suffering.

He Is a Trained Martial Artist

In this universe, Miles didn’t get bitten by a spider and therefore doesn’t share Spider-Man’s powers. However, his world being tough compelled him to find alternative ways of defense. From the snippets we’ve seen in the movie, Miles proved to be an exceptional martial artist, strong enough to KO a variant of himself with one punch. Additionally, he appears to have excelled in stealth since he managed to evade detection by Miles’ spider-sense, though it remains unclear if his abilities are limited due to Miles failing to recognize him as a threat.

To sum it up, Miles appears to have been mentored by his uncle in the realm of technology, as evidenced by his high-tech Prowler suit and gauntlets that boost his strength – both topics we’ll discuss. It’s worth noting that Miles from Earth-42 isn’t a mutant but is quite clever.

It Is Unclear If Peter Parker Was Spider-Man

In the short span of time spent on Earth-42, with no mention or recognition of Spider-Man, it’s highly likely that Spider-Man does not exist in this universe. This means Peter Parker may have never been bitten by the spider that gave him his heroic abilities. If this is true, then Miles from Earth-42’s unrealized transformation into a hero becomes even more heartbreaking.

In a world where Spider-Man had never existed initially, it’s Miles Morales from this particular universe who was fated to be the first. He would likely confront and thwart the Sinister Six, ensuring they wouldn’t seize control of the city. However, with the disappearance of the spider, New York City is now bereft of its Protector, a friendly presence in times of need. This predicament does lend a glimmer of hope that Peter Parker may yet be found alive somewhere.

He Is More Like a Robin Hood Character

Although Across the Spider-Verse presents a foreboding atmosphere nearing its conclusion, Earth-42’s Miles Morales possesses admirable traits that are often overlooked. His confrontational approach towards 1610B’s Miles was strategically intended to instill fear and coerce information. Given the harsh realities he faces, Miles needs to maintain a strong and resilient demeanor to navigate through his challenging circumstances. Consequently, he may have appeared more menacing than what people perceive.

As a film critic, I must confess that Miles, the protagonist of this movie, is more accurately described as an anti-hero rather than a traditional hero. Recently unveiled deleted scenes offer a glimpse into a hidden side of Miles; he and Aaron were shown stealing medical supplies for Rio’s hospital, demonstrating that beneath all his troubles, there lies a deep-seated altruism that not even the heaviest grief can extinguish. Whether this inherent goodness can be harnessed to persuade him to collaborate with 1610B’s Miles is something we will have to wait and see.

This Caused the Chain Reaction That Ruined His Life

In essence, Miles from Earth-42 missed out on his destiny as Spider-Man, which had inadvertently been usurped. Due to the absence of a Spider-Man, his city succumbed to supervillains. However, the spider from Earth-42 moved to Earth-1610B, denying this Miles the powers he required. This set off a sequence of escalating tragic events. Consequently, Miles never became Spider-Man, and his father passed away shortly after assuming command, possibly because there was no Spider-Man to safeguard him. Then, the Sinister Six started gaining control over the city.

This predicament arose due to a handful of researchers venturing to explore beyond our known universe, unaware they were meddling with powers they didn’t fully grasp. Miles’ deviated fate took a toll on him personally and his city. It hardened him into a more detached and resentful young adult. Yet, there’s a glimmer of optimism for Miles, as the decent young man that Jeff and Rio nurtured remains hidden within him. What actions he’ll take once he understands what his life might have been like, is yet to be seen at this juncture.
