Preferring to spend time with his uncle over his father, listening to hip-hop and taking trips to the graffiti-filled, abandoned sections of the New York subway together, its during one of these trips where he is bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes Spider-Man. After witnessing the death of Peter Parker at the hands of Kingpin, Miles realizes that there are other Spider-Men out there, and teams up with other versions from alternate universes who are summoned by Kingpins invention, the supercollider to defeat their collective villain.
