Jefferson Morales (née Davis) is a police officer in the Police Department of New York City. He is the father to Miles Morales.
Biography[]
Jefferson met Rio Morales and they had a son. He would drive his son to school in his patrol car and embarrass him while dropping him off. Jefferson also had a distain for superheroes believing that police officers were the real heroes. Jefferson also loved his brother Aaron Davis but felt that he was a bad influence on his son.
After Aaron was shot by Kingpin for refusing to kill Miles, Miles web slinged away with Aaron to a nearby alley. There Aaron apologized to Miles for everything he had done as the Prowler. As Aaron died Jefferson came onto the scene and saw Spider-Man over a body. Jefferson pulled his gun and ordered Spider-Man to surrender. However, Miles turned invisible and got away. Jefferson was distraught when he discovered that the dead man was Aaron and believed that Spider-Man was responsible since he saw Miles standing over him. Jefferson then put an APB out for Spider-Man.
A short time later at Miles' dorm room at Visions Academy, Peter took the override key to shut down the Super Collider from Miles and webbed him up. Peter told Miles that he couldn't come with them because his inexperience could put him in danger. Miles tried to tell Peter he was ready to no avail. Only seconds after the Spider-Gang left the dorm room Jefferson knocked on the door. However, Miles was unable to answer because he was still webbed to the chair and his mouth was webbed shut. Jefferson sadly informs Miles that Aaron had died and gives him a motivational speech about the great thing he is capable of. His father's speech inspires Miles and he uses his Venom Blast to break free from the webbing.
Later, when the Super Collider was activated, it caused disturbances all over New York City. The epicenter of the disturbances was at Fisk Tower and Jefferson responded. Upon entering Fisk Tower, Jefferson witnessed Spider-Man fighting Kingpin. Jefferson realized that Spider-Man was the only one who could save the city and began rooting for him. Jefferson witnessed as Spider-Man stopped the Super Collider and Kingpin.
Spider-Man turned Kingpin over to the police and also talked to his father while still in costume. Spider-Man told Jefferson that he was looking forward to working with him. Before leaving Spider-Man said "I love you" to Jefferson. Jefferson would often have Miles tell him that he loves him in front of his school as a way to jokingly make fun of him. This lead Jefferson to believe that Spider-Man was really his son.
Some point after, he married Rio and took her last name. He was eventually promoted to Captain.
Alternate Version[]
In another universe, no radioactive spider ever bit anyone and thus there was no Spider-Man. This universe became overrun with criminals. Jefferson was killed. He was memorialized on the side of a building just as Aaron was in this universe. Aaron teamed up with Miles, who served as this universe's Prowler.
Background[]
Jefferson is voiced by Brian Tyree Henry.
The first version in film.
It's never stated he whether he was married to Rio in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, but since they had different last names it's reasonable to assume that they were not. It's not until Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that he is confirmed, though it is unknown why he took his wife's name rather than the other way around as is tradition.
