    No one. Turns out this version of Miles dedicated himself so much to heroics that he never actually started a family. But Ganke's daughter starts to mention that she thought he should've ended up with Kamala, but Miles changes the subject.

    It was an okay one-shot. Not much of an explanation is given for how the world ended up the way it did, but I thought it was okay overall. It's kind of funny though, finishing it kind of makes me wish it was an actual mini-series instead of a one-shot. Now I kind of want a mini series of the present Miles ending up in that alternate future.

    Old Man Miles was okay, it kept that hopeful energy Ahmed was talking about. It probably could have benefited from being longer, but that's just how things shake out sometimes. The art was interesting, but was hard to follow at times.

    Kinda does play into the idea that Miles is more interested in heroics then in a life outside being Spider-Man.

    People still seem pretty focused on Miles and Kamala. I haven't seen this level of dedication to Miles and Gwen.

    They're the fan favorites of the new batch of heroes and shipping Miles with Gwen was always really forced and unsettling given that she's an alt universe version of PETER's first true love

    For me as far as shipping, Miles with someone is concerned I treat it in a similar sense to the multiverse. ITSV Miles with Gwen, & Comic Miles with Kamala. Similar to how Rami movie Spider-Man hooks up with MJ while Webb movie Spider-Man was with Gwen. As long as it makes sense in my head it works for me. And it works for me because I know these are two different iterations of the character.

    Comic version Miles and Gwen did indeed feel forced in their crossover, but feels more natural for their ITSV movie counterparts.

    It'll be interesting if they try something with PlayStation Miles and Kamala or if they introduce Gwen in the sequel. And then we future MCU Miles to think about.

    We also got to remember that comics today have taken on the additional role of R&D for Marvel as a whole. If it sells and resonates with the fans in the comics there's a good chance some iteration of that idea will find its way in other Marvel media.

    Isn't PS4 Miles aged up into his 20s? Not that I'd expect Kamala to show up in a Spider-Man game anyway, but she'd probably be quite a bit younger than him, rather than them being the same age like in the comics.

    The fact that both Miles and Kamala (and Gwen) have solo books actually works against the idea of them having a romance, just look at Batgirl and Nightwing (before New 52, Barbara never had her own solo book, so them being together in the 2000s didn't have this problem). Writers like to have full control of their casts... so if someone has their own book, they're less likely to be used as the love interest. This actually came up in an issue of Batgirl and the Birds of Prey. Dick guest starred, and Barbara Gordon and Helena Bertinelli (Huntress) discussed their mutual love for Grayson (Helena had a thing with him when they were both spies before Rebirth), while acknowledging that Nightwing's writer had given him a new love interest, reformed villain The Defacer (who was later written out).

    Honestly, I think Miles and Kamala do love each other - platonically. It's like Dick's relationship with Donna Troy in New Teen Titans. She married someone else and he was dating another team member, but she still said she loved him. Meaning as a friend. That's what Miles is to Kamala. They're each other's best friends, in the superhero community anyway (the only ones who trump them are probably Ganke and Bruno).

    Slight correction but PS4 Miles is only 15 believe it or not. I remember seeing quite a few complaints when the game first came out about him looking old.

    Character model does look a bit like some one who could be in his early 20’s lol, who knows they might do a bit of time jump by the time the sequel roles around.

    Didn’t they give her a man just recently in the comics ?

    People actually thought PS4 Miles was in his 20's? I thought his voice alone would tell people he's much younger.

    I don't have a PS4 and therefore haven't played the game, but I did remember hearing complaints that Miles looked old at the time. Didn't know they'd actually kept him at a similar age to in the comics - the game's character design is definitely poor, at least for Miles.

    If you mean Batgirl, yeah, she kissed Jason Bard in her most recent issue. But bear in mind Dick's had amnesia for over a year, so currently she thinks he's out of her life for good. That was part of my point - the writers on their solo books are giving them other partners, instead of having them together like a good portion of the fandom want (there are others who want Dick to reunite with his other long term love interest Starfire instead). And the same thing happens with Miles and Kamala - Miles has THREE other potential love interests (Bombshell, Starling, and the non-hero Barbara), and Kamala's friendship with Bruno seems to be heading for an upgrade.

    Sorry I should’ve said kamala but yes that Bruno character that was one. And I like the bombshell character and don’t really care for starling or Barbara imo. And didn’t batgirl mess with Lucas fox for a little bit to during the new 52?
