How Spider-Man went from a story about one character to a “team franchise”

[Kaitou D. Kid]

No it's basic logic, it's why parents with multiple children don't give them all the same name, you're trying call it OCD but no it just makes sense.
Then you're trying Green Lantern as a comparison and it's way off, because Green Lantern is a title in an organization, it's not anywhere near the same as Spider-Man a name Peter made for himself, and another hole in your logic is the fact Green Lanterns don't just call each other Green Lantern they call each other by their names if you see Hal Jordan and Guy Gardener together in a book they aren't calling each other "Green Lantern" their teammates won't be saying it, they're going to be saying "Hal" and "Guy", which isn't option for Peter and Miles since their identities are supposed to be secret.
And there's a vast difference between two people having the same first name and two using the same codename, especially when said codename was used by one person for decades, and it was unilaterally associated with that person and someone else used it simply because they're too uncreative to make name for themselves

Sure, Peter made the name for itself, but why can't it evolve into a title that's a lil closer to something like Green Lantern? We're not talking about how the name used to be but how it is in present day, or more importantly how it can be.

Yeah well if Miles develops some actual character then we can talk about it.
I have no problem with Miguel being Spider-man because 1)He is from a different time(miles is now in 616 at same time as Peter)
2)He is an actual good character unlike miles

Because that's stupid.
Spider-Man is not Green Lantern and he shouldn't be, it's name made by Peter Parker for Peter Parker, not a bunch of space smurfs with magic rings

And this.
Green Lantern is like a position in the military.There are always gonna be multiple green lanterns.
Also one of things about the first green lantern was that a human was never chosen.It was such a big deal.All that is now ruined.
Same with Spider-man.We don't need so many Spider-people specially not in the 616 present.
Miles is 1610 Spider-man, Gwen is earth-65 and Miguel is future Spider-man.That's enough.
Then we can have them meet up and people like Madame webb, Silk, Anyaand Spider-woman(take 1-2 out by killing them in a meaningful way) stay in the 616.

Hawkeye is also a name he gave to himself though. Yet there's two of them. Same with Wasp

One difference
Secret identities
And all the other points still stand

You're right.

The point, that others here don't seem to grapple with, is it already has. Readers and general public know Miles Morales as Spider-Man and they don't have problems separating him from Peter.

This attempt to make Miles not be Spider-Man is:
-- Being charitable, closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.
-- Being quite stern, acting like a reactionary and trying to reverse changes and progress.

Unfortunately both those things are irrelevant to Spider-Man

Which other points?

How?

[Metro]

Which other points?



How?

Because they ain't Peter Parker that's why.
What they're doing means literally nothing to Spider-Man.

Accurate.

10 characters.

Shame Miles has no real changes or progress during his whole existence then

So? I'm just giving examples of how it works. And those are similar examples.

No offense, but what is with Peter Parker fans acting like he's above every other hero in Marvel?

No they aren't similar examples, those are C-listers who primarily live in teambooks, not like Peter at all who carried his own mass franchise for half a century.
And frankly Peter is above other heroes, there's no Marvel hero anywhere near as big as he is, even the X-Men is primarily a team franchise, where as Peter is one character and got to where he is without anyone else

They're B-listers at least. Yeah, they didn't carry their own franchises, partially because Marvel didn't promote them. But they still have younger versions with the same codename.
