Prowler (Aaron Davis)

In the Ultimate Universe, Aaron Davis is a skilled thief who operates under the alias the Prowler, using his illicit expertise to run jobs largely off the radar. His complicated family ties would unexpectedly intersect with a new chapter in Spider-Man's history.

Few characters have been woven so tightly into the fabric of a hero's origin as this Prowler, who stalked onto the scene in the very first issue of Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli's landmark Ultimate Comics Spider-Man in 2011 — a key issue by any collector's measure. A Modern Age creation through and through, this version of the Prowler has haunted the pages of Miles Morales's world across more than a decade, turning up throughout Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Miles Morales: Spider-Man as a persistent, shadowy presence in the young hero's life. Sharing pages with Miles Morales, Aaron Davis, Rio Morales, and others, the Prowler occupies a uniquely charged corner of Marvel's contemporary mythology — the kind of figure whose appearances feel loaded with consequence. Thirty-eight catalog appearances and fourteen years of relevance make this a character any serious Miles Morales reader will want to know.
