The reason I say that Miles Morales should not be Spider-Man is quite simple, really... Peter Parker IS Spider-Man. Miles Morales is NOT Peter Parker, so he shouldn't have to be in Peter Parker's shadow. Miles' powers and skillset are different from Peter's. He should be more than "other Spider-Man" or "Black Rican" Spider-Man... Keeping Peter's Hand-me-downs makes him less than equal... Hell, when Marvel attempted to replace Peter Parker for Peter Parker, Peter Parker used a different Hero name until Peter Parker retired as Spider-Man. Then Peter Parker became the new Spider-Man.
Miles NEEDS to step out of Peter's shadow l, otherwise he'll be stuck as "SJW approved Peter Parker replacement". Miles deserves a lot better than that... unlike Ironman, where the suit IS Ironman, people who are not Tony Stark have ended with different hero names as an Iron person...
Rhodey = Warmachine
Pepper = Rescue
Riri = Ironheart
They weren't black ironman, female ironman, black teen girl ironman. So why Miles is stuck with black Spider-Man? If Spider-Gwen got the cool Ghost Spider name, why can't Miles? The Disney Kid Arachnid moniker was one step forward, two steps back for him. The drawback is having kid on his name, which makes him derivative by default. Heck! They could make him Ebony Spider because his outfit and race are black... or revamp him in a blue and black costume and call him Cobalt Spider. It's a jab at the Parker clones having a color+ Spider as their codename. Also the cool color combo of black and blue evokes a stealthier approach than Peter's made for showbiz outfit.
Even Wolf Spider sounds more badass than "Other Spider-man"...
