Miles Morales/Spin is one of the two deuteragonists of Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends alongside Ghost Spider. His superhero name used to be Spider-Man before he changed it into Spin in the short WEB-Ster, so the supercomputer WEB-Ster will not be confused.
Personality
As his civilian self, Miles loves a variety of things such as watching movies, playing at the amusement park and his hobby painting which connects to his love towards artworks in the museum. As a result, he has a lot of favorite things which leads to him having a hard time to decide in the episode Not-So-Fun House. He also can be impatient from time to time, rushing to do things as quick as possible to the point of forgetting something like his breakfast in the episode Spin Rushes In, or making a mistake when building his robot TWIST-E in the episode of the same name.
As his superhero self, Spin still retains his personality as he still loves the same things he likes such as art in the episode Art Attack! He also had the inability to decide in the episode Not-So-Fun House and tendency to rush into things in the episode Spin Rushes In before learning from his mistakes. Like the other members of Team Spidey, he prioritises the lives of people and saves them before stopping villains, knows how to differentiate basic right and wrong behaviors, feels regret over making mistakes and learning from them.
Appearance
As Miles , he wears a blue shirt underneath his jacket that has three layers, dark orange, orange and light orange from bottom to top. He wears a blue gray long pants that covers his legs. His shoes are brownish red with white shoelaces and white soles.
As Spin, he wears a suit that covers his entire body, and a mask that covers his entire head. His suit is mainly black with red gloves, boots and a V-shape stretching from the the groin up to the shoulders. He has a red spider logo on his chest and red outline making web patterns from the upper part of his body to the barrier formed by the lines that form the V-shape. At the back of his suit, the same red lines that form the V-shape continues in forms of small waves before stopping at a red spider logo. His mask is also mainly black with red outlines forming a web pattern all over it with the exception of the two parts that cover the eyes which is white with red outlines.

- He seems to be the youngest member of Team Spidey, judging by his height.

- As of Season 3, Miles/Spin is the only main character who maintains his original voice actor, Jakari Fraser, as Spidey and Ghost Spider get new voice actors.
- His voice is noticeably deeper in Season 3, this is Most likely due to Jakari Fraser going through puberty at the time
