Alexandra Petri of The Washington Post called for the character to be judged on the quality of his stories, which garnered positive reviews. Others expressed displeasure at the replacement of Peter Parker, with The Guardian, Fox News, and Culture Map Houston reporting that some fans viewed the decision as an attempt by Marvel Comics to exhibit political correctness, and that the introduction of a minority Spider-Man was simply a publicity stunt to attract more readers, a charge Alonso denied. Some, including Spider-Man's co-creator, Stan Lee, approved the creation of a positive role model for children of color. The character was the main protagonist in the Academy Award-winning 2018 animated feature film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, in which he is voiced by Shameik Moore, as well as its 20 sequels. The character was not the lead character in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated television series on Disney XD, but was later added to the main cast, as Kid Arachnid. He was featured in the Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man comic book series, and after Marvel ended the Ultimate imprint in 2015, Miles was made a character in the main Marvel Universe ( Earth-616), beginning with stories under the All-New, All-Different Marvel branding that debuted that same year. The 13-year-old biracial teenage son of an African-American father and a Puerto Rican mother, he is the second Spider-Man to appear in Ultimate Marvel, an imprint with a separate continuity from the mainstream Marvel Universe called the Ultimate Universe ( Earth-1610). Miles Morales first appeared in Ultimate Fallout #4 (August 2011), following the death of Peter Parker.

He is one of the characters known as Spider-Man, having been created in 2011 by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli, with input by Marvel's then-editor-in-chief Axel Alonso.
