A TikToker has garnered attention on social media by cosplaying as Miles Morales.
Malik Ambersley has amassed a significant following by portraying the character from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales.
His content has become so popular that he is now nearing a million followers on TikTok.
The trend of acting as NPC characters on the video-sharing platform gained momentum last year.
Malik frequently live streams in public spaces, which sometimes leads to unexpected challenges.
In a recent video, Malik was confronted by an intoxicated man while filming. The man fell and vomited off-camera, prompting Malik to cut the video short.
Following this incident, Malik’s followers have suggested he use a green screen to avoid such public mishaps.
However, this advice was not heeded in a new video where Malik was reprimanded by a store employee. In what appears to be a Home Depot, Malik scaled some shelves to film content from the top.
In the video shared on Malik’s Instagram and other platforms, he is seen filming from his perch when an employee notices him.
“How did you get up there?” she asked.
“I just climbed up here. I’m Spider-Man,” Malik replied. The employee was not amused by his antics.
“I need you to get down please, right now,” she insisted, to which Malik responded with Miles Morales’ iconic line, “Imma do my own thing.”
The employee then threatened to call the police, but Malik remained unmoved.
It’s uncertain whether the police were called, as the video cuts out shortly after.
The video has elicited a range of reactions, with some viewers labeling it as ’embarrassing’.
“Bro running out of spots to do his TikTok live,” one viewer commented.
“This is just embarrassing now, its 2024,” another remarked.
Some suggested he apply for a job at Home Depot while he was there.
However, not everyone was critical; some found the situation amusing.
One person said, “Someone caught NPC Miles Morales standing on a top shelf during a TikTok live, and it’s hilarious! Can’t stop laughing!”
Another added, “He funny as hell for hittin her with his signature quote.”
