1. COME UP WITH HIS OWN SUPERHERO NAME. I want to get away from the doublethink where people vehemently insist that he's a proper Spider-Man, yet can't identify him as anything other than 'Miles'. Might as well title his book 'Miles Morales: The Separate-But-Equal Spider-Man'.
2. If we can't move him back to 1610, then at least move him to a different city. Have him live in Atlanta or something, people would eat that up. Fundamentally, Miles was a replacement for Ultimate Peter Parker. Having him in the same space as the original does neither any favours.
3. Cut back the random superpowers.
4. Quit having everyone he meets fawn over him. Even the damn supervillains regularly tell him he's a more likeable Spider-Man than the "other" one. C'mon.
5. Let him grow up, just a little. Get him out of school.
6. Lean into his supposed artistic side. It's meant to be one of the major things which sets him apart from Peter, but how often does it actually come up beyond stereotypical, corporatized hip-hop and graffiti? It's an informed attribute, rather than a legitimate part of his character which helps drive the plot. Give him a job as a working artist of some description. Can he make time for being a hero as well as creating his art? The deadlines involve a lot more effort than homework or photography, but it's something he wants to do just as much as superheroics. Maybe he uses his webbing more creatively, like some of the constructs 60s Spider-Man would make?
7. Lean into him being well off. The kid goes to an elite artistic academy, so he's got connections; let him use them. Everyone around him is Osborn-tier new rich. I'm not saying he needs to be going to Diddy parties, but this angle combined with the aspiring artist point above could and should be used to broaden Miles's personal life a lot more.
8. One of the aspects dropped from Miles's origins was his reluctance to be a hero. Peter's always had guilt/responsibility driving him -- what does Miles have?
