Warning: This article contains potential spoilers for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #28!
In an exciting twist for Marvel fans, Miles Morales is set to receive a significant upgrade from Wakanda, courtesy of Black Panther. Following the introduction of his new Vibranium suit, the young superhero embarks on a journey to the technologically advanced African nation with T’Challa by his side. This quest aims to eliminate his vampire curse, and along the way, Miles is set to acquire powerful gifts from Wakandan royalty that promise to enhance his skills and alter his hero status within the Marvel Universe.
Miles Morales Receives the Heart-Shaped Herb: A Gateway to New Powers
In the narrative’s previous issue, Miles undergoes a critical test and is subsequently gifted the Heart-Shaped Herb. This herbal essence is integral to Black Panther’s lore, enhancing the abilities of those who share royal lineage with T’Challa. Although Miles does not belong to this bloodline, it is believed that the herb will serve as an essential element in his quest to connect with Bast, the Panther goddess. Notably, the effects of the Heart-Shaped Herb can vary among individuals, suggesting that Miles’ outcomes may be unique.
Interestingly, this herb was previously offered to Peter Parker during a time of crisis in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2. While it was less effective for him, Miles’ distinctive abilities as Spider-Man might yield very different results or side effects. The introduction of the Heart-Shaped Herb deepens Miles’ ties to Wakanda, especially following his acquisition of the Vibranium suit.

Miles’ new abilities from Wakanda not only assist in managing his vampire instincts but also signify a deepening bond with the Black Panther. The trust placed in him to wield the Heart-Shaped Herb stems from his character as a noble hero, as highlighted in the previews. T’Challa and Shuri’s confidence in Miles reflects his emerging role as one of Marvel’s most admirable heroes, especially as he is entrusted with pivotal artifacts of Wakandan heritage.
As the stories of Spider-Man and Black Panther intricately intertwine, Miles Morales’ adventure in Wakanda is crafting a path toward greater power and significance in the Marvel realm. The journey ahead remains uncertain; whether the Heart-Shaped Herb will enable him to unlock new skills, cleanse his vampirism, or foster a deeper bond with Wakandan culture, one thing is clear—this quest will transform him.
Fans can mark their calendars for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #28, scheduled for release on January 1, 2025.
