“Good, Fast, and Cheap - you can only pick two.”

It was something taught to Aaron Davis, back in his school days. But Aaron disagreed with the sentiment, and aimed to achieve all three. After all, why should these Avenger-types be out there pouring tax-payers’ money into their ridiculous gadgets and what-have-yous? Aaron knew there had to be a better way, for a fraction of the effort.

Sure, he took some questionable methods to accomplish that goal, but it was results he was interested in.

It couldn’t be Good unless he had the right materials. It couldn’t be Fast unless he acquired them with ease. It couldn’t be Cheap unless he took them from someone else.

Soon he’d amassed quite the collection of utilities - stolen parts repurposed or redesigned with efficiency and intent. And he’d made a name for himself as the infamous thief, The Prowler.

But, what now? There was no twisting that into some virtuous identity, not with his track record. But his tech should be put to use, and this was something he had talent for, damn it. Maybe this was his calling.

His brother knew he was up to something. Aaron started feeling the cold shoulder whenever he stayed at Jeff’s - felt the eyes tracking him room to room. Eyes of a cop, not family.

He could always cut ties - really commit to his new lifestyle. And maybe he would have, if it weren’t for his nephew, who’d always looked up to him.

But did Aaron really deserve that? Could he even make time for him between stints as the Prowler? And what kind of example would he be if his nephew knew he was a criminal?

Thieving, Dependable, and Kind  - you can only pick two.

miles, the brand. 

the brand, miles.

(fun fact: these are my own versions of the kids and i sketched this before ITSV was released, which ended up having like, a whole b plot about the untied shoe, ha.)

a good kid.

A few Miles sketches I did a while back but hadn’t posted on this blog!

as a follow-up to the Miles post,

I wanna mention that in this ‘verse he would always refer to himself as Spider-Man, even when teamed up with Peter!

In my mind it’s really important that Miles doesn’t settle for anything less than that. No ‘Spider-Boy’ or ‘Kid Spider’ for him. He signed up to be Spider-Man and that’s who he’s gonna be.

(But I was thinking that maybe he makes the common mistake of spelling it without the hyphen, so even though it’s pronounced the same, he’s technically known as ‘Spiderman’, haha.)

Meanwhile, on Gwen’s side:

I talk about Miles below the cut :)

How does Miles Morales fit into the Brakken-verse??

it'd be kinda cool to see your take on Miles Morales

One day, when curiosity gets the better of Miles, he opens the mysterious container that his uncle hid in his room - and is bitten by the radioactive spider inside.

His plan was to pretend like it never happened, even when a few days later he began developing superpowers.

But when he sees a news headline about ‘The Prowler’s’ recent break-in at a city lab, he puts together how his uncle got the spider. He figures the best thing he can do is return the stolen goods - no harm no foul. So he sneaks out of his room one night, and heads to the scene of the crime...

Meanwhile, Peter and Gwen (as Spider-Man and Spider-Woman) have been looking into that same break-in - and encounter Miles as he’s leaping across rooftops.

They soon realise there’s more at play here, and offer to help him with his predicament. Once they discover his spider-powers, Peter becomes keen on bringing him onto the team. Miles agrees - after all, who wouldn’t want to be Spider-Man?

@srirachadumplings asked

how would you change Miles Morales as a character so he is less like a clone of peter parker?

Hmm, if I were to break it down...

Peter’s great responsibility will always be the weight he needs to balance against his personal life. Being Spider-Man will always win out in that contest.

For Miles, he’s still maturing, and didn’t get the same hard reality check as Peter, so he still has some of that cocky nature that Peter lost. And he doesn’t feel as bound to the role as Peter does. He has more of a ‘my way or the high way’ attitude, but since he’s so indecisive, this gets him into trouble.

In summary: Peter wants help, but feels like he shouldn’t need it. Miles needs help, but doesn’t know how to ask for it.

As for more specific traits, I think Miles is a smart kid, but not a science prodigy. He does well at school but you won’t see him creating web fluid. Though, I feel he would think better on his feet. Peter may find creative ways to use his powers, while Miles will be like ‘I’ll throw my bus money at ‘em - they won’t see that coming!’ (see Fig. 1)

Hope you like him! I actually haven’t read/seen much of Miles, but I wanted to attempt to spin him into this ‘verse without killing Peter.

I feel like Miles would be a little averse to wearing a costume early on. I kinda like the idea that he gradually sees the benefit of wearing it for identity and mobility reasons.

Here’s more of Gwen!
