ABSTRACT
This essay deals with a therapeutic analysis of the comic book character
Miles Gonzalo Morales, the Spider-Man of an alternative universe, created to be
a modern and distorted version of the objective American reality. It is a work
of analytical interpretation, based on data collected in psychological
interviews with the patient, in which he portrays a condition of exposure of
his existential conflict, for having become a version of the great hero of New
York; however, this caused him a series of situations of fear and astonishment,
because he found himself in conflict with the figure of his father in relation
to what he had become; but, he could not confront it, for his own safety. It is
a work of free dissertation, supported by psychoanalytic studies of interpretation
of the human psyche. What the patient reveals, in his exposure, is a very
intense emotional burden, which he does not know why it exists or where it
comes from; but, his excessive behaviors are the result of the absorption of
the life story of his predecessor. When he lets his girlfriend go, it is not to
keep his alternative identity a secret; It is out of fear that she will suffer
the same fate as the charming Gwen Stacy. As for her father, the fear is that
he will end up like Captain George Stacy who, upon discovering the identity of
the Web-Head, begins to follow him and, in a battle between him and Dr.
Octopus, ends up dying as a side effect of the war. Miles is not aware that his
behavior is influenced by the existence of his predecessor; for this reason, he
believes that his decisions are derived from his consciousness; and that they
are products of his [un]consciousness about the phenomenological reality in
which he is immersed.
Keywords: Miles Morales; Spider-Man; Alternate universe; Therapeutic analysis.
