Where is Ben Reilly now?
It's off the mark to say that Wally West is analogous to Miles Morales. They were created for different reasons, with different goals.
That Ben Reilly book shot itself in the foot thanks to Clone Conspiracy.
I think it's off the mark to say there's nothing analogous between Wally and Miles. Both are legacy heroes, both became independent and made a mantle their own after the original died, both were depicted as contrasts to the hero they succeeded and had different lives/dynamics.
The one clear difference is that Miles was never a sidekick, although that hasn't stopped media from depicting him as basically Peter's sidekick. Miles in the PS4 Spider-Man game had more in common with Wally West then he did Miles from the comics.

Still one of the best comics ever.
My name is Wally West. I"m the fastest man alive. I"m the Flash.
Favorite Heroes - 1-Flash/Wally West, 2-Superman, 3-Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, 4-Nightwing, 5-Hawkman, 6-Firestorm, 7-Supergirl/Linda Danvers, 8-Zatanna, 9-Robin/Tim Drake
Again, as said above wally has diverse cast. They aren't used. And if giving the character a tan is such big deal. then sure, go for it. Just leave the hair and eyes as is. Problem solved done deal.
Miles Morales is a character who is informed by (but not wholly defined by) his cultural heritage. He is not a white character “with a tan”.
Is'nt iris supposed to be bi-racial? Anyways, i didn't mean to offend. I just meant change the background. Have some part of the west be from brazil, Japan or some other parts of the world. Just add it as another layer if this is important. Don't remove things that already is There.
ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.
To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!
The conversation is straying from my original point:
Peter Parker, Miles Morales and Ghost-Spider are a more diverse cast than Jay, Barry and Wally. They expand the readership by speaking to different demographics. Marvel would have little use for a male version of Ghost-Spider or a white version of Miles.
Miles and Ghost-Spider are also both part of Marvel's YA line, along with Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Champions etc. Different demographic than stories about an adult Wally West.
Wally resonated with a lot of people in a way Barry didn't or we wouldn't even be where we are right now.
Jay, Barry, and Wally can appeal to different audiences in my opinion, because all three are very different Flashes. There's not diversity in race involved, but a diversity in character, situation, and personality that I think is equally valid.
Wally wouldn't need to. That's what Bart and Wallace are for.Miles and Ghost-Spider are also both part of Marvel's YA line, along with Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Champions etc. Different demographic than stories about an adult Wally West.
