Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a game that may be smaller in scale compared to its predecessor, but that doesn’t mean it has no spectacular stories to offer. The game has a phenomenal plot that makes Miles an entirely unique character from Peter, and the game itself is filled with plotlines that contribute to the universe as a whole.

There are so many things you can do in Spider-Man: Miles Morales outside of completing the main story. The side missions, even hidden details, tell stories of their own that are quite interesting if you look at them closely. Whether they’re expansions of character developments or seeds to future titles, fans of the spider-powered heroes will surely appreciate these hidden plotlines.

10 Development At Feast

The F.E.A.S.T. shelter played a massive role in the previous game. It was run by Martin Li, also known as Mr. Negative. Though he was a villain in nature, he had an altruistic side that led him to spend his fortune on a shelter for the less fortunate.

Peter Parker managed to recruit someone named Gloria during the events of the first game. In this game, Gloria is now the director of the F.E.A.S.T. center in Harlem. People also often talk about the other F.E.A.S.T. shelters, even the one that used to be run by May Parker, who had unfortunately passed away.

9 The Struggle Of The Neighborhood

Miles Morales is a superhero that is very protective of his neighborhood. In this case, he currently lives in Harlem and has gotten to know quite a few of the people living there. During his stay in Harlem, Miles has noticed an apparent struggle the residents of the neighborhood shared together.

A wave of bands of thugs has been attacking the neighborhood constantly, targeting one local business after another. Being the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man that he is, Miles personally took it upon himself to discover the plot behind it. It turns out, the attacks were ordered by none other than Wilson Fisk himself, in hopes of shutting the block down so he can use it for himself.

8 Morales Family Slowly Settling In

Miles and his mother may be serving the people of New York now from their Harlem home, but they weren’t always from there. The place they live in now used to belong to Miles’ grandmother and they’ve only moved there a few days before the events of this game.

The Morales resident is a mess at the beginning of the game. There are tons of unopened boxes in every bedroom and there aren’t that many decorations yet. As the game progresses, though, the house will slowly start to unravel, slowly becoming like a real home.

7 Danika Hart’s Citizenship

Danika Hart is a host of her own podcast called The Danikast. She often talks about current affairs and relevant topics. Her show is a massive contrast to that of J. Jonah Jameson’s show where the former is more supportive towards the new Spider-Man, while the latter is disdainful towards the new and the old.

One of the many things Danika Hart reveals in her podcast is her citizenship status. In one of Danika’s earlier episodes, she tells her listeners that she’ll be answering a few fan questions before heading to take her citizenship test. She reveals that she moved to New York when she was six. She then later reveals that she had passed the citizenship test with flying colors.

6 J. Jonah’s Producer

J. Jonah Jameson, New York’s resident loud-mouthed podcaster, the host of Just The Facts, has long been known as a Spider-Man critic. Not only towards the original Spider-Man but now also to the new one.

Peter Parker and Miles Morales aren’t the only targets of Jonah’s wrath, a man named Jared is also a constant target. During the previous game, Jared was employed as Jonah’s assistant. It seems he has been promoted to producer before the events of Miles Morales. Jonah constantly lambasts Jared for not having a luxurious lifestyle, even though he is now a producer, which could mean the show is not earning enough revenue, or Jared is simply underpaid.

5 Aaron And Jefferson Davis

Aaron Davis and his brother Jefferson had a very close relationship growing up. While little is said about their history on the main campaign, aside from the fact that Jefferson was very stubborn and that their relationship fell apart when Aaron pursued a life of crime, their story is explored more during the Sound Samples side mission.

Jefferson and Aaron were brothers, but their paths ended up becoming very different. As Jefferson realized he wanted to become a cop and do good, Aaron started thieving. Jefferson knew about Aaron’s life of crime, but not to the extent it actually ended up being. In the end, Aaron told his brother with the hopes of distancing himself away from his brother, who already had a family, to keep him safe.

4 Howard’s Pigeons

If you played the previous Spider-Man game, then you most likely know about Howard’s pigeons. These little fellas ended up being one of the most memorable, and infuriating side missions in the previous game. As it turns out, Howard’s pigeons aren’t done in their escapades.

Howard and his pigeons make a return in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. In this one, the pigeons have a bit more of a story than just escaping their coups. They became a means of communication between criminals who plan to hi-jack the Daily Bugle. Thankfully, Miles was able to stop them before they could complete their plan.

3 Peter’s New Life

Peter Parker’s life has undergone a drastic change between then and now. One of the reasons why Peter Parker is so liked as a character is that, even though he is a crime-fighting superhero, he still experiences problems common to people in the real-world such as financial struggles and difficulties with homeownership.

He was on the verge of being homeless in the previous game, but his Aunt May left him her house after she passed away. Throughout the ending of the game, Peter constantly talks to Miles about moving into May’s old home and renovating it. He also started talking about getting a new job after the Doc Ock incident.

2 Dr. Connors Working At Oscorp

Dr. Connors, also known as The Lizard, is one of Spider-Man’s longest-running enemies in the comics. Prior to that, Dr. Connors was Peter Parker’s teacher and mentor. He has not made an appearance in the previous Spider-Man game, but he makes his very first in this game’s post-credit scene.

It seems Dr. Connors now works for Norman Osborn, meaning he is a scientist at Oscorp. Dr. Connors is still seen missing his arm, so he may not have his lizard powers yet. His working at Oscorp is most likely an indication that he will discover his serum using Oscorp resources.

1 The Tinkerer & The Underground

The Tinkerer is the game’s main antagonist. In a tragic twist of fate, underneath the mask is revealed to be Phin Mason, Miles Morales’ high school best friend. Phin is an intelligent and resourceful woman who, after losing his brother at the hands of Roxxon, became vengeful and made Roxxon and Simon Krieger her ultimate nemesis.

Prior to her life of crime, Phin Mason had no inclinations with New York’s underworld. Phin ended up recruiting the Underground, who had no clear reputation in New York’s crime world and rose them up using the technology and weapons of her making. Despite being very young, the Underground feared and respected Phin because of her resourcefulness and ruthless nature.
