(#1–5) Published: September 2011 - December 2011 Creative Team: Brian Michael Bendis / Sara Pichelli / Justin Ponsor Plot Outline: Eleven months prior to the Death of Spider-Man, Norman Osborn creates another spider, deemed Spider 42. The Spider 42 crawls into the bag of The Prowler as he steals from a secure safe containing the research on the spider. Miles Morales, who is now accepted through a lottery into a charter school, goes to visit his Uncle Aaron, The Prowler. The Spider 42, that hid in Aaron's bag gets out, bites Miles who convulses and passes out. Miles runs out, only to discover he can turn invisible. After running through the streets and learning of his new extraordinary spider-like powers, Miles goes to visit his friend Ganke that suggests that he may be a mutant. Jefferson Davis, Miles dad, then shows up and takes Miles to the park where he explains that he doesn't like Miles being around Aaron because he is a thief. Miles later tests his powers by saving a young girl from a burning apartment complex. Two months later, as he is moving into charter school, he dreams about Electro in his dorm and killing him as "Spider-Man". He then wakes up and heads into the gym where a teacher reports that Spider-Man has been shot on the Queensborough Bridge. Miles witnesses Peter Parker's death, then explains to Ganke that he feels guilty, as if he'd decided to become a hero when he got his powers, this might have never happened. The two attend Peter's funeral, where Miles questions Gwen Stacy why Peter became Spider-Man. Subsequently, Ganke gives Miles his Spider-Man costume that he'd worn for Halloween, and Miles merges victorious in a fight against The Kangaroo. Following this, Miles goes out as Spider-Man only to run into Spider-Woman, who takes him into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. There, Nick Fury reveals that he knows all about Miles and his family, including his uncle's criminal activity. Meanwhile, Electro escapes from custody but is quickly defeated by Miles. S.H.I.E.L.D. releases Miles, and Jessica Drew shows up at school to give him a modified black and red version of the Spider-Man costume.
