It happens a lot but it rarely lasts so it's always funny when people are surprised it reverts. There are few Hero identities that it makes sense to pass on. Green Lantern and Blue Beetle are the ones that immediately come to mind since the identity is based on an object.

I guess Robins count since Batman's sidekick is always Robin. It seems weird to me that there's so many of them.

Here I'd say I don't know how much of the writing can be bad since it's the same writer that wrote the entire Ultimate Spider-man run with Peter before it. So maybe people just don't like Miles as a character. I can't rule race out as some factor in it but I wouldn't say it was the only reason.

The Flash was also a successful legacy character. Jay Garrick held the title in the Golden Age, Barry Allen took his inspiration from Garrick when he got superpowers. His nephew Wally took on the Flash mantle after Allen died. Bart even held the title for a little while, but that didn't last long. But Wally's run as the Flash lasted a good couple of decades. In fact, he was such a successful Flash that TPTB had to completely erase him from continuity so he wouldn't outshine Barry Allen after they brought him back.

Likewise, Flash's Rogues occasionally do a legacy thing, though Mirror Master, Trickster, and for a little while Captain Boomerang are the only successful ones out of the bunch (unless you count Lisa dressing up each boyfriend after the Top as Chillblaine). Robin and Batgirl as legacy characters make sense, because they're symbols in Gotham. The Atom worked as a legacy character for the same reason Jaime's Blue Beetle was successful--the characters had a lot of respect for their predecessors, and in Choi's case, he was tapped to be the new one by Palmer.


All that said, I think legacy heroes generally work(ed) better in DC, because until recently, DC had more of a sense of history and growth to it.
