Darkhawk and Spider-Man: friendship remake

Peter Parker has made a lot of super friends as Spider-Man. The closest among them are Johnny Storm and Daredevil. But Peter as Spider-Man has been used as the go-to character that frequently appears in almost every Marvel Comic series. There are very few Marvel comic runs that don’t have an ubiquitous appearance of Spider-Man.

It’s nice that Darkhawk chose Miles.

Miles serves as a possibility for Connor because as the biggest Miles’ fan, I can say it was better for Connor to meet this Spider-Man because Miles has been exactly where Connor has been. And Kyle Higgins shows his knowledge of the character by choosing this Spider-Man instead of another to facilitate Connor’s Call to Action.

And it’s great.

Miles doesn’t push Connor. He relates to him. He empathizes. When Connor told Miles that the former has MS after Connor dropped a cup of coffee, Miles immediately understood his plight with that issue.

What I love about Darkhawk is that the world just keeps going without be bombarded with text. We have a moment of Miles texting someone and it just happens with exposition or mental dialogue. Connor just doesn’t think to himself in his head or we don’t need to hear his thoughts.

I also like that Connor isn’t immediately leaping into being a superhero. He shows uncertainty. The same kind that Miles exhibited that led to inaction. One thing Miles regrets is not reaching out to Peter Parker when he got powers. Here Miles is in the position to do something for Connor that he wished he had in himself.

And Miles was texting Captain America to help out if you thought it was a little rude of Miles to text while dude was having a heart to heart.

I love Connor’s expression because you know exactly what he is thinking. And it works so damn well.

They make a great team.

And Connor made a new friend in the process.

Kyle Higgins gets Miles character. Not once did Miles push the responsibility on to him. He met Connor where he was at and related to him. Connor needed a friend who got him and showed him the ropes and he got it in Miles. This has been a pleasant surprise as someone who never has been a Darkhawk fan. I like Connor for being so empathetic and expressive. And this is one Miles feature that feels important to his story. Miles actually serves some importance to Connor. And that makes them more connected in a way. Miles came to Connor’s aid at his lowest point and gave him hope and that is nice.

Connor Young is a star point guard, who’s about to accept a full ride scholarship to Empire State University. After that, he’ll most likely go #1 in the NBA draft. But that path is thrown into disarray when Connor is diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis...

The way the Darkhawk technology works, a user doesn’t actually transform into Darkhawk: they swap places with an Android, which the user — in the case of humans — still controls with their consciousness.

So what happens when that user has a neurodegenerative condition? How does it affect his ability to sync with the android? Are there enhancements? Detriments? What does it mean for his multiple sclerosis?
