Will Miles Morales’ Story Take a Dark Turn in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 While Confronting Mr. Negative?

In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Miles Morales’ story will unfold further. As previous games have shown, there exists unfinished business between the new Spider-Man and Martin Li. While Martin Li possesses an evil alter ego known as Mr. Negative, responsible for the death of Miles’ father, fans are curious about whether the young Spider-Man will seek revenge.

Although it appears probable that the story between Mr. Negative and Miles will be revisited, it remains uncertain whether the narrative will conclude with an act of vengeance. Trailers have revealed that Miles will confront Martin Li, but the ultimate outcome remains to be seen.

Mr. Negative and Miles Morales, the feud

Martin Li’s actions led to tragic consequences in the life of Miles Morales. A terrorist attack at City Hall planned by Li resulted in the death of Miles’ father, Jefferson Davis. This led to Miles harboring intense anger and resentment towards Li for this act. However, Li has mostly avoided acknowledging Miles. Nevertheless, there was a moment when he prevented one of his inner demons from harming the young Miles when he was in their custody, showing a more complex relationship between them.

In the previous game, Mr. Negative played a pivotal role. His actions had a profound impact on both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Mr.Negative is responsible for the death of Miles’ father along with Aunt May. This has made him a villain and the spiders have a natural hate against him, which could lead to a confrontation between them.

The hint of Mr. Negative’s return was previously featured in the 2023 PlayStation Showcase footage, where Kraven the Hunter was introduced, along with the concept of his “great hunt.” The teaser suggested that Kraven was seeking “worthy prey” in New York. This led to the discovery of a list containing skilled characters, convicts, and new villains. This implies that Martin Li might be part of a sequence where Kraven hunts the R.A.F.T. prison’s inmates, including Li and other members of the Sinister Six.

Nadji Jeter’s take on Mr.Negative

Nadji Jeter, the voice of Miles Morales, discussed Mr. Negative’s return and how it affects Miles personally. In the new footage, Mr. Negative appeared with a beard, long hair, and wearing a R.A.F.T. prisoner uniform. While nothing more was seen of Martin in the trailer, it is expected that Miles does encounter him and share his grief.

Jeter expressed surprise that the Mr. Negative storyline would be revisited, as the villain was apprehended at the end of the first game and did not make an appearance in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. He emphasized the emotional impact of Li’s return, drawing parallels between Miles’ relationship with his mother, Rio, and his own life experiences as someone raised by a single mother.

As the marketing campaign for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 intensifies ahead of its October 20 release, fans are eagerly awaiting the showdown between a superpowered Miles and Mr. Negative. It will also be intriguing to see how Mr. Negative fits into the broader Venom storyline, given his role in creating anti-Venom in the comics.

While Miles has a strong resentment towards Martin Li, it is unclear if that will end up in a fight between the two. In the latest trailer, fans can see that Miles verbally confronts Martin Li, but that is about all they have shown in the trailer. That being said, do you think Miles will take a dark turn and avenge his father? Let us know in the comments below.
