Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now in theaters, and one of its biggest twists involves the return of the Prowler, who played a key role in the first movie. We won't spoil the twist here (though you can still read all about it), but now's a perfect time to dig into the comic book history of the Prowler and how he relates to Miles Morales.
The original Prowler of the Spider-Verse films is Miles' uncle Aaron Davis, who occupies the same role in comics. But he's not the original Prowler from Marvel Comics - that's Hobie Brown, an ally of Spider-Man and a gifted engineer who built his own Prowler gear.
