Who is Ganke Lee?

Ganke Lee is Miles Morales's best friend and roommate at Brooklyn Visions Academy, who quickly became his most trusted confidant after learning Miles's secret identity as Spider-Man. An ordinary civilian with a passion for LEGOs and tech, Ganke serves as Miles's essential behind-the-scenes support system.

Few supporting characters in Modern Age Marvel have earned their place quite like Ganke Lee, who burst onto the scene in 2011's Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #2 courtesy of the legendary creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli. Over a remarkable 15-year publishing run spanning titles like Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Ganke has proven himself one of comics' most beloved and enduring best-friend figures, racking up 82 catalog appearances alongside heavy hitters like Peter Parker, Captain America, and Rio Morales. With two key collector issues to his name, he's not just a background player — he's a cornerstone of one of Marvel's most celebrated modern mythologies. If you love character-driven storytelling and the kind of loyal, witty companionship that makes a hero's journey feel genuinely human, Ganke Lee is absolutely worth your time.
