Marvel's main universe has two heroes called Spider-Man, but the way in which Miles Morales was brought to it is one of Marvel's biggest mistakes.

As one of the handful of characters to survive the death of the multiverse, Miles Morales continued his superhero career as another Spider-Man in the main Marvel continuity. He didn't actually start out in the main marvel universe, but instead made his way there as a reward for helping out a distraught Molecule Man. Marvel could have played this out as a heroic act for Miles, but the publisher opted to have this be a moment of dumb luck and pure coincidence.

2015's Secret Wars sees the creation of a new Battleworld by God Emperor Doom using fragments of destroyed universes. At one point near the end of the story, Miles meets Peter Parker's Spider-Man and the two discover Molecule Man suspended upside down in blank space and very, very hungry. He tells Miles and Peter of his plight, and Miles just happens to have a burger in his pocket, which he gives to the malnourished villain.

It would have been easy to make this a moment where Miles actually earns his fresh start. If Marvel had actually put Miles on a small little side quest to get Molecule Man something to eat, it would have been Miles' compassion that allowed him to start over and gain his new life back as a reward. This also would have made Miles a proper foil to Doom, even if just for this one small instance.

Marvel choosing to have this play out as random chance is a strange decision given how major the consequences are for not just Miles, but the Marvel Multiverse as a whole. Marvel in general has been misusing the multiverse and variants lately, and this is no exception. They could have made it something epic, like Miles Morales' final act of defiance against Doom, but instead left it up to mere coincidence.

Doctor Strange 2 is More Raimi Than MarvelWithout missing a beat despite a 10-year feature directing gap, Raimi uses Marvel to remind us he’s an auteur with a vision. Good And that’s good! You don’t choose a great director with a proper style to make a “standard” movie. That’s why we got the Russos, Gunn, Waititi, Derrickson, Zhao and so on. And it was great!!! MCU needs these type of movies to keep things fresh.
