Episode 2 of Daredevil: Born Again featured a clear reference to Spider-Man when Wilson Fisk mentioned a "guy in a spider suit" during his Mayoral address, but fans are convinced that this week's third instalment included a nod to Marvel's other wall-crawling hero.
We don't go into too much detail on the episode here, but there will be some mild spoilers.
In "The Hollow of his Hand," Matt Murdock outs Hector Ayala as the costumed vigilante known as White Tiger in an attempt to get him acquitted for the (accidental) killing of an NYPD officer. While listing off Hector's selfless deeds, Murdock names several cops who have praised White Tiger as a hero, including Officer Reyes, Officer Wong, Officer Morales, and Officer Grant.
Could this be Miles Morales' father, Jefferson?
It's certainly possible, although it's worth noting that Morales is actually Miles' mother's last name. However, Jeff did take his wife's surname in the animated Spider-Verse movies, and if this was supposed to be a nod to the character, "Officer Davis" probably wouldn't get the same amount of attention.
It's still a bit of a stretch (Morales is a common name, after all), but if there is anything to this, Born Again's EP or showrunner will likely confirm at some point.
