Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 10 Major Characters Who Must Appear

Really, you can't have a story about Miles without also having his best pal Ganke Lee on board for the ride too.

While Miles is busy getting all chummy with Peter as part of his training, this new title is the perfect time to also introduce Ganke, further widening our understanding of Miles' friendship and family dynamics.

In the comics, Ganke is such a trusted friend of Miles that he's one of the only people who actually knows that he's Spider-Man. Barely able to contain himself after gaining his crazy new powers, Miles bursts into Ganke's room almost immediately after, revealing his secret instantly. That's trust right there, people.

As Miles grows as Spider-Man, Ganke is a constant friend and confidant; he regularly gives him advice and steers him on the right direction on his path towards becoming a fully-fledged superhero.

This ties in nicely with the start of Spider-Man: Miles Morales too. Miles is just feeling out his abilities and beginning his training, so throwing Ganke into the mix to help with the transition from normal dude to web slinger is certainly a no-brainer.
