Appearances[]
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse[]
Jeff saw talent in his son and pushed him to better himself at his new school, the Brooklyn Visions Academy, causing some friction between the two of them. Despite this, the two had a loving relationship.
One evening, Miles came home distraught, unbeknownst to them after witnessing the death of Spider-Man. Jeff and Rio assumed that it was because of school stress, and though they allowed him to stay home instead of return to his dorm room, Jeff expressed some level of disapproval. Miles disappeared shortly after this and wasn't heard from for quite a while, worrying both Jeff and Rio. Jeff became desperate enough that he called his brother in hopes of finding him.
The next day while on patrol, Jeff answered a call to a disturbance involving multiple Spider-People. Jeff spotted a figure swinging away with a body and followed, only to find Miles in a Spider-Man merch costume in front of a body. Miles disappears and Jeff identified the body as his brother. Furious and in mourning, he put out an APB on "a new Spider-Man." Jeff then went to Miles' dorm and tried to apologize and explain the way he'd been acting; seeing the moving shadow under his door, Jeff just assumed that he was being ignored.
Later that evening, Jeff saw the dimensional anomaly occurring around Fisk Tower. Jeff helped people evacuate and ended up in a room with a view of the battle between Wilson Fisk and the new Spider-Man, urging the latter to get up when he seemed defeated. Once the city was safe, Jeff went back outside, having placed the Kingpin's lackey Tombstone under arrest and soon received a call from Miles. The call got cut and Jeff was then approached by Spider-Man himself, who then hugged him shortly after their greetings, much to his surprise.
Jeff continued to try to repair his relationship with Miles, even taking him to a wall — presumably the privately-owned one he promised Miles over the phone — to tag with his art, this one in honor of Aaron.
