The Possible Real Reason Why Our Miles Wears Rubber Gloves at the End
At the end of Across the Spiderverse, our Miles accidentally lands on Earth 42 and is captured there by his alternate self, Miles G. Morales, who has taken on the role of the Prowler, and by his alternate Uncle Aaron, and is tied to a punching bag.
We can even see that Uncle Aaron or Prowler Miles put rubber gloves on our Miles to block his electricity powers. This is quite strange because Prowler Miles and Uncle Aaron could not possibly know that our Miles has these powers, since there has not been a fight yet.
I watched this entire scene on Earth 42 very carefully and analyzed it, and I came to the following speculation:
In this image, we can see Prowler Miles. This was the exact moment when he gave our Miles a strong hit on the head to knock him unconscious. However, if we look closer at the image, we can see that Prowler Miles is wearing two Prowler claws here. Later, during his dramatic appearance, he suddenly only has one Prowler claw, which Uncle Aaron throws to him.
In these images, we can see Uncle Aaron repairing and even testing one of the Prowler claws while our Miles tells him his story. So something must have happened to these Prowler claws. Here comes my speculation:
My Speculation
I strongly believe that after Prowler Miles knocked our Miles unconscious, he either tried to lift him up or turn him over, and in doing so, he suddenly received such a strong electric shock that his Prowler claws were damaged. This would also explain why Uncle Aaron repairs these Prowler gloves and why our Miles suddenly wears rubber gloves.
If we think about it carefully, something similar has happened before. In Into the Spiderverse, do you remember the scene when Miles and Peter B. Parker met for the first time? When Peter B. Parker touched our Miles on the shoulder, Peter received a strong electric shock. Possibly the same thing happened with Prowler Miles when he touched our Miles.
