Peter Parker died in the pages of “Ultimate Spider-Man” No. 160, in June. His replacement has a new suit, and a different background.

Meet Miles Morales, a half-black, half-Hispanic American teenager who, inspired to do good after the death of Parker at the hands of the Green Goblin, takes flight and has his first fight in the pages of Marvel Comics' “Ultimate Fallout” No. 4.

The Ultimates imprint is separate from Marvel's bigger universe where Parker is alive and well.

The original Marvel Universe Peter Parker continues his adventures in “The Amazing Spider- Man,” published twice a month.

“Ultimate Spider- Man" No. 1 debuted in 2000; “Ultimate Spider- Man” is among Marvel Comics' best-selling trade paperback collections.

“The idea is to create a small Marvel universe,” writer Brian Michael Bendis said in a 2001 interview with The Oklahoman. “If you present an honest portrayal of teenage characters, (teenagers) will want to read it.”

Bendis has scripted every issue of Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man since its debut.

Morales, Bendis tells the Associated Press, is nothing like his predecessor.

“He's younger than Peter Parker, he's coming from a completely different background, a completely different world view,” Bendis said. “It's Peter Parker's death that inspires this kid to step up.”
