I mentioned it back in the Spider-Verse thread, still find it strange, but... it's actually kind funny because of what it causes. I don't think it's ever explained why Miles has his mother's last name. Partly I'm sure to showcase his biracial background. But also because if he had his father's last name, Ultimate Spider-Man would have been... Miles Davis.

I'd have been ok with Confederately-named father figure, if it meant black Spider-Man was named after a musician like that.
