THERE comes a time when a satirical writer, if he's really out for blood, must stop clowning around and move in for the kill.

“Black Panther” brought more people of color into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and struck box office gold. Now “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” introduces a more diverse alternate reality. In the new trailer, we meet Miles Morales, the son of an African-American father and Puerto Rican mother, who learns the ropes from webslinger Peter Parker and ultimately dons the superhero’s mask.

Miles belongs to an authentic Afro-Latino community brimming with life. He wears Timberlands and dances to salsa. He speaks Spanish with his mother. He can take a bodega cat with him on his adventures. This Spider-Man is different because he’s theirs. The character has been around since 2011 — a relative blip in the nearly six-decade history of Spider-Man — but has quickly climbed in stature among fans.
