Spider-Man has always been a popular character, one of the most popular heroes ever created for comics. However, we’re now in a world where there are actually two different Spider-Mans (Spider-Men?) who have taken over the cultural imagination. It isn’t just Peter Parker that everybody loves, it’s Miles Morales.
Miles has become a major part of Spider-Man media outside the comics, starring in the insanely popular Spider-Verse movies, which still have a third entry yet to come, and appearing in Spidey video games that have made the character as popular. And, in some cases, he's become more popular than the original wall-crawler. However, this success doesn’t benefit those who invented the character, a fact that has sparked a firestorm of late involving one of his co-creators.
