The release of Spider-Man: Miles Morales still has fans firmly in their playthrough as the game brings a lot of replay value and lives up to fans’ celebration of its release. After a while, gamers tend to reflect on how the personalities of the characters are, which is something the characters in this game can also be analyzed with.
With the fanbase of Spider-Man: Miles Morales steering toward the younger side, the best way to gauge the personalities of the characters is through the use of Hogwarts Houses. These provide an easy way to judge how the characters behaved in the game, along with being a fun thing to indulge in.
Peter Parker: Ravenclaw
Although the game made the mistake of keeping Peter’s role extremely limited, fans are well aware of what his personality is like. Peter might be brave, but it’s his intelligence that stands out the most about him, making him an easy inclusion into Ravenclaw.
This version of Peter doesn’t let his emotions dominate his decisions, being rational and witty to adapt to situations with a clear frame of mind. He’s what a mature Ravenclaw would be like following their graduation from Hogwarts.
Phin Mason: Hufflepuff
Sure, Phin was the villain in the game, but her turn for the worst came out of a place of love and loyalty. Hufflepuff personalities value these traits above all else, with those who go evil - like the Cedric Diggory from The Cursed Child - do so because they feel these attributes haven’t been fulfilled.
Phin remained loyal to the memory of her brother, all the while retaining her feelings of friendship for Miles. Her conflict with him was due to his intervention with her plans, not because she always wanted to fight him.
Aaron Davis: Gryffindor
Miles’ uncle was something of a Sirius Black figure, in that he was extremely protective of his nephew and was always someone getting into trouble by breaking the law. His criminal career as the Prowler was still secondary to his love for Miles.
To this end, he tried to keep Miles safe at all costs, with Aaron giving himself over to the authorities in the end after being inspired by his nephew. He displayed traits of gallantry and a never-say-die attitude along the way, even if he was a criminal the whole time.
Rio Morales: Hufflepuff
Miles’ mother developed much more as a character as she campaigned for City Council and came into her own independence. This makes her one of the better Spider-Man, with her main attribute being that of loyalty.
As Harry Potter fans are aware, loyalty is something shared between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, but what makes Miles’ mother fall into the latter House is the fact that she doesn’t charge into things with a fierce attitude. Instead, she keeps her cool and hears everyone’s opinions before reaching a conclusion.
J.J.J.: Gryffindor
It might be hard to believe, but J.J.J. indeed is a Gryffindor. That’s because he doesn’t waver from what he believes, being brave enough to stick to his opinions and morals, however lopsided they might be. He doesn’t shy away from danger and is a coward by no means.
J.J.J.’s leadership skills have been shown due to his position at the Daily Bugle, which continues to run even if his accusations aren’t true. All in all, J.J.J. doesn’t have any cowardice or restraint in him, making him an extreme version of a Gryffindor.
Ganke Lee: Hufflepuff
Ganke’s role as a non-action guy is what prevents him from being in Gryffindor and placed into Hufflepuff. That’s by no means a demotion, instead reflecting how his helpful personality complements Miles well to help him as Spider-Man.
His level of smarts also makes him resemble a Ravenclaw, but Ganke’s all-accustoming personality is such that his Hufflepuff traits dominate him more. His pleasant demeanor and loyalty are a great combination that every person from Hufflepuff House should strive to emulate.
Rhino: Slytherin
This is a difficult character to gauge, as Rhino lacks the cunning factor that Slytherin’s possess. However, he also serves only his own needs and is a very self-sustaining person who looks out for himself before anybody else.
Rhino also has a streak of pettiness when he wants to taunt someone, which is reminiscent of the traits that Draco Malfoy possessed. These things make it difficult to place him in any other House despite Rhino not having the Slytherin level of slyness that should be apparent.
Simon Krieger: Ravenclaw
Despite Spider-Man: Miles Morales feeling like a small budget movie due to its status as a spin-off, villains like Krieger make this aspect not much of a problem. He made calculated moves to get himself out of trouble while running Roxxon’s antagonistic activities.
He doesn’t strike like a Slytherin would, instead looking to cover his tracks by thinking up ways to do so. Krieger was also too smart for his own good, as he was brought down through factors that he was unable to predict, a flaw in Ravenclaws who tend to underestimate others’ level of smarts.
Norman Osborn: Slytherin
Of course, Norman Osborn was only in the end credits scene, but he had a crucial role as his appearance set up the next game. He went on his path of being a comic book accurate villain by showing concern for his son while steering toward the antagonistic path.
Overall, Norman came across like Lucius Malfoy, in that he’s definitely a bad guy but holds genuine love for his family. Norman is also obsessed with power, something that Slytherins are attracted to in general.
Miles Morales: Gryffindor
Miles’ inherently brave nature and his acceptance of his role as Spider-Man make this spin-off every bit worth playing. He was always brave, as Spider-Man PS4 showed him jumping into the face of danger even when he didn’t have powers.
In his own game, he remained loyal, courageous, and staunch in the pursuit of what he believed was right. Miles didn’t show as much aptitude for the areas that required smarts, nor was he selfish in any way, with his courage being his dominant personality trait.
