Summary

• Miles Morales may have sured Peter Parker as the most powerful Spider-Man in Marvel Comics due to his new vampiric abilities.
• Being bitten by a vampire has given Miles a significant power boost, making him nearly unbeatable in the Marvel Universe.
• The strength of vampires in Marvel may be underestimated, as the power boost from vampirism has made Miles Morales a force to be reckoned with.

Warning: Spoilers for Blood Hunters #1!Miles has been holding back his true power.

His latest affliction with vampirism could finally solidify Miles Morales as the most powerful Spider-Man, as teased in Blood Hunters (vol. 2) #1 by Erica Schultz, Robert Gill, Rain Beredo, and VC's Joe Caramagna. Immortal vampire hunter Elsa Bloodstone seems to confirm this to be true, as she utters that such a power upgrade for a Spider-Man is "a bit too much power, innit?"

Miles Morales' power upgrade could be over by the next issue if Dagger is able to help him, but while he has it, the upgrade highlights how underrated the power of vampires in Marvel could truly be.

Miles Morales Being a Vampire Makes Him the Strongest Spider-Man

Here's Why (and How) He Became a Vampire

Spider-Man's curse is a fairly new one that he has gained as a result of this past summer's Blood Hunt story arc. While being possessed by history's (and plus his Venom abilities.

On his own accord, Spider-Man already ranks among the most powerful heroes in the Marvel Universe, regardless of who is under the mask. Super strength and enhanced senses alone make him a formidable adversary. Moves like his Venom Blast and his Venom Sword are just an added bonus for Miles, but the powers that come with being a vampire (i.e. additional super strength, enhanced stamina, etc.) are the true upgrade. This is why Elsa Bloodstone is so adamant about wanting to kill him. She knows how powerful Spider-Man is, but Spider-Man with vampire powers? Way too much power, innit?

Vampires May Be Underestimated in Marvel's Universe

It's Time to Reevaluate Their Power Level

No one is questioning how powerful vampires are in the Marvel Universe, but is there a chance that they are more powerful than even Marvel readers previously imagined? Take Dracula, for example. Powerful vampire, yes, but few would rank him to be as powerful as some of Marvel's strongest heroes and villains. Maybe that should change, especially considering that an even older vampire in Varnae almost brought Earth-616 to its knees this summer. If a vampire's power boost is enough to make an already powerful Spider-Man like Miles Morales become practically unbeatable, then vampires should be ranked higher on the Marvel power scale.
