Right... But I still would like some more original villains.

Brooklyn 2099 kinda looks Miles was fused with Black Widow lol.
Also Spoilers for Spider-Man 2 are out but I won’t mention everything here but

Wolverine and Black Panther styled suits for Miles are both in the game.
Yeah a new young heroes book would be great.
It'd be great as an au suit for a Black Widow trained Miles, or something like if Secret Empire went differently since she did a bit of mentoring to him back then. Or even just a darker future kind of look.

I loved seeing those suits included.
Definitely a great cyberpunk-inspired look for Miles as Spider-Man . . . I would love to see that adapted into a comic set in the future, especially if Miles was explicitly referenced (not by name, per se, because secret identities and all) as the Spider-Man that inspired the future web-slinger, at least for a change of pace, much as I love the OG Spidey. And yes, a revival of Champions, Young Avengers, and/or New Warriors with Miles in the lead would be great, too.
The spider is always on the hunt.
The closest we got to that, I thought, was with his Uncle Aaron as the Prowler in the first twelve issues of All-New Ultimate Spider-Man, but since Aaron was revived as ultimately (pun somewhat intended) a better person than he started out being, perhaps more in line with his Into the Spider-Verse and Insomniac Games' Spider-Verse iterations . . .

I don't think a villain taking the mantle of a Peter supervillain like Prowler is the originality that Miles has needed in his Rogues' Gallery...
I wonder if the Champions will get mentioned in Kamala's guest appearance in Miles's book? The team still seemed to exist right up until Kamala's funeral. Two months later, Ms. Marvel resurfaces... wearing an X-Men uniform. Did the team disband in the interim (the Powers Act only applies to New York, so it's no excuse for the team to break up. Losing their leader might be though)? Did someone else take over as leader (Viv and Miles are the most likely candidates)?

A lot of the appeal of Uncle Aaron is the personal stakes involved. Assessor had virtually none and Rabble was just so random and had that weirdly displaced rage that, to me personally, was more jarring than threatening. Whomever they eventually make up to be that A-list Miles-specific villain i strongly advocate them to be somebody with a true personal connection to him as a character and as a person.
Until the Green Goblin outed himself to Peter as Norman Osborn I don't think any of Peter's major villains had any kind of personal connection to him beyond maybe being created by Jameson.
I think what a villain needs is some kind of thematic connection to the hero's personal struggles. Most of the compelling Ditko villains are either working class or science oriented misfits.
Petrus Maria Johannaque sunt nubendi
Yes, that's true, i meant to put a ''as a character and/or as a person'' as it would better imply the connection could be thematic or more related to the Spider-Man alter-ego, like Kraven. But i still believe it was the Osborne reveal and all subsequent fallout stories that succeeded it that propelled Gobby to number one rogue in most fans' eyes. I remeber being very marked by the first Lizard arc in the 90s animated series because it was established how Peter and Curt were friends and how hurtful it was for Peter to have to fight somebody he cared about. Not that you can't start out more ''impersonal'' and build the feud over time, but, eventually, i'd enjoy a more personal blood feud to really establish someone as THE guy of Miles' rogues gallery.
