"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.

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