There are plenty of variations on who Spider-Man is, and now Miles Morales is getting the spotlight. You might be familiar with the original web slinging New York-based hero named Peter Parker. Miles is another variation of the hero in a different universe. He's a Puerto Rican, afro-Latino teenager from Brooklyn.

No. The movie is apparently trying to say that Miles Morales isn't supposed to be Spider-Man in any universe. That he was supposed to become Prowler like on Earth 42.

Miles Morales Is Better Than Peter Parker In Spider-Man 2 The power of Venom makes Peter even stronger than he usually is, imbuing him with alien strength and unique abilities that make for an especially ferocious foe. Crucially, however, Miles is actually able to beat him thoroughly.

The only difference between this version and comic Miles is that his mother Rio knows he's Spider-Man and supports his actions, whereas the canon version didn't know Miles was Spider-Man until her death, but she was resurrected and her knowledge was retconned (though Miles' father, Jefferson Davis, knew).
