To Bendis however, Morales is part of a larger effort to make Marvel more diverse, something he thinks will pay off for comics and film audiences. The decision met some controversy, but Morales proved to be a successful character, one prompting a rebranding of the series as Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man. One popular example is the long-running Ultimate Spider-Man, where Peter Parker was killed by Green Goblin replaced by Miles Morales, a half-Hispanic half-African American teenager. The Ultimate Marvel Comics line may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but when handled correctly it’s produced some of the best superhero books on the market. Ultimate Spider-Man‘s Brian Michael Bendis thinks heroes like Miles Morales are true-to-life, considering “there are very few people in the world who look like Captain America”.
