>>109940365Honestly while I don't want him to be gay I will admit ever since he became mainline his entire deal has been being "Peter when he was a kid, but black and with the flavor scrubbed off."
He's got Peter's powers, but better. He's got his rogue's gallery, he's kinda inherited half of his friends, etc.
He doesn't really need to get his love interests or reflavored versions of his love interests too.
Let him be his own thing. Let him do something different. Shit, it doesn't have to be him being gay or anything, but like I dunno let him do something unique to him.
Have him hang out with the Morlocks or something, or maybe have him go on a road trip or some shit and fight villains all across the US. Have him decide he's gonna be proactive and deliberately pick a fight with like AIM or some shit. Call it Spider-man: Taking AIM or some shit.
Or fuck, have him stumble upon and get lost in Subterranea and save like a princess of one of the underground kingdoms from Mole Man or something and go on a crazy ass adventure trying to get her and him both home or something. That'd be fucking kickass.
Or just make up a new fucking villain who's in it to fuck up Miles's day and nobody elses. Maybe he stops a bank robber who cracks it because he can't pay for his dad's medication, so he calls himself the Hornet and decides he's going to kill Spider-man.
Give Miles *something* because ever since he's been in 616 he's been nothing but "Peter but he's a black kid" and that sucks and is boring as shit.
