What was with Miles Morales's stickers? - Woman Putting Stickers on Man's Face

In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales applied some stickers on public places and even near the end he uses his powers to apply the sticker on a place where his dad can't find it.

But why? What are these stickers and what is their significance for him or the story?



Best Answer

Miles is a graffiti artist

We can see this in the first minutes of the movie when he is doodling in these name tag stickers and putting them around the neighborhood, this pisses off his dad because he is a police officer and graffiti is illegal in New York.

Miles is also a kid, who doesn't have money and permission to buy real paint to paint real graffiti, that's why he uses these stickers.

This is paid off later when uncle Aron takes Miles to a place to paint a full mural with real spray paint.

And also as @OrageDog pointed out, Sticker art is a form of street art:

Sticker art (also known as sticker bombing, sticker slapping, slap tagging, and sticker tagging) is a form of street art in which an image or message is publicly displayed using stickers. These stickers may promote a political agenda, comment on a policy or issue, or comprise a subcategory of graffiti.

What do Miles Morales stickers say?

What's cool with the stickers, too, is that they literally say \u201cMy name is.\u201d It very uniquely set up that Miles was someone who was still searching for himself and identity and wasn't quite sure who he was, and was almost trying out different versions of who he was, graphically, on these stickers.

How did Miles get her powers?

Near the end of the game, we finally see Miles Morales get his powers when he is bitten by a genetically engineered spider that has escaped from the Oscorp labs. During a credits sequence, Miles reveals his recently acquired powers to Parker who, in turn, confirms to Miles that he is, in fact, Spider-Man.

What does miles witness when he goes back to look for the spider that bit him?

Determined to prove to himself that he has not developed the same powers, he revisits the subway terminal where the spider bit him and finds that the spider exhibits bizarre traits even after its death.
