"Multiverse" isn't really an explanation though. If you want to introduce the concept of a "Multiverse" you could easily have a storyline about a fruit basket Spiderman or a Picasso-cubist Spiderman, our any outlandish concept. But that's not what happened.
Whether you invoke a "Multiverse" or not, the fact remains that the creators of the media decided specifically to craft a story around replacing a White character with a black character. That's not an accident. It's a deliberate and calculated decision.
I'm aware of this. It's a non-sequitur to my point since these characters are "weird & crazy" cameos, not protagonists in comics runs or feature films.
Even so, at least it’s explained by multiverse. Race swapping without “different universe oh well” is much lazier.

Wait until you learn about Sun-Spider, Charlotte Webber.
Yes, that's the character's name.
