One of the mightiest Avengers of all time is putting Miles Morales through the one test he might not have any hope of ever passing.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25 picks up right where the previous issue left off, with Miles, Tiana Toomes, and Misty Knight discussing the former’s newfound vampirism with one of the world’s greatest minds, Doctor Keisha Kwan. Of course, none of those present have any idea how to wrap their minds around the mystic aspect of Miles’ condition, which is exactly why they have called upon none other than the Black Panther himself. Unfortunately, the only thing T’Challa is worried about is Miles’ bloodlust and, more specifically, whether or not he can control it.

Miles Morales has a storied history with the vampires of the Marvel Universe outside his own recent transformation into a creature of the night. When the threat of the ancient vampire known as R’ym’r emerged, Miles fought alongside Marvel’s very own Daywalker – Blade. Miles also fought alongside Blade’s daughter, Brielle Brooks, aka Bloodline, who has come into her own as one of the world’s foremost monster hunters over the past few years.

In the events of Marvel’s recently concluded Blood Hunt event, the entire world was overrun by a vampire army led by Blade, who himself was possessed by Varnae, the first vampire. In the ensuing chaos, Miles was bitten by the possessed Daywalker, kicking off a monstrous transformation unlike any the young Spider-Man had experienced before. Since then, Miles has done everything he can to stave off his hunger while continuing his career as Spider-Man. Meanwhile, the rest of the world comes to terms with the idea that its vampires now walk among them in broad daylight without care.

Apart from putting a strain on Miles personally, his vampiric transformation has also put a major strain on his most important relationships. This includes his romantic relationship with Tiana Toomes, aka Starling, the granddaughter of the original Vulture, Adrian Toomes. Unfortunately for both of them, the Vulture has made it his mission to drive a wedge between the happy couple by any means necessary, and his methods have recently taken a turn for those of an overtly lethal variety.
