Ganke Lee[36] is a fictional supporting character in stories featuring Miles Morales / Spider-Man. The character, created by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, first appeared in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man vol. 2 #2 (Nov. 2011), which was published as part of Marvel Comics' Ultimate Marvel line of books, which are set in a universe and continuity separate from the "mainstream" Marvel Universe. Ganke is a black haired, overweight, Asian-American boy and Miles's classmate,[37] best friend and confidant. After the accident behind Miles's superhuman abilities, Ganke is the first one with whom Miles shares this secret,[38] and is the one who immediately suggests that Miles use these new powers as the new Spider-Man.[37][39][40] When Marvel Comics ended the Ultimate Marvel imprint with the 2015 "Secret Wars" storyline,[41] in which the Marvel Universe was merged with other alternate universes (including the Ultimate Universe),[42][43][44] Molecule Man's efforts transported Miles, Ganke and their respective families and friends to the mainstream universe.[45] Ganke befriends Danika Hart, a YouTuber obsessed with Spider-Man. He acts as an indirect source for Danika, but asks to be called "Ned" rather than use his real name.[46][47]
