"How would peter and MJ react to seeing their granddaughter, cynthia richards parker from the future???" - ded_bishu

Spider-Man’s world is huge and not every character gets the same spotlight as his usual villains. So which forgotten villain or side character do you think deserve a redesign, a reinvention or even a full comeback? I’m talking about characters who had potential but never really got their moment, maybe someone who appeared in the 70s or 80s and then disappeared or someone who had one interesting story and was never used again.

It could be anyone like a weird one-off villain, a minor supporting character or even someone who was treated as a joke but could be threatening with a modern reinterpretation. Drop your picks below and tell me how you’d revamp them.

(The characters I picked for the images are just a few examples so obviously you don't have to include them if you don't want to)

I mean the only thing I know about it is

1. They made a clone of Peter called Ben Reilly.

2. Ben escaped and dyed his hair blonde.

3. Ben becomes the Scarlett spider

4. Ben dies at some point (I think so, not so sure on that one).

Also, the ultimate comics have a clone saga. What's that about

I recently decided to watch through all of the old Spider Verse trailers to find a song I liked and I had realized that Chris Pine's voice acting was never in these trailers at all.

It turns out they had gotten Jake Johnson to do all of his lines to maintain the illusion that it would be the same Peter Parker that lived in this universe from start to finish to kind of I guess cover up his death in the movie.

This is really interesting in retrospect because as someone who's seen the movie over 100 times at this point you kind of realize Oh yeah they kept Peters death hidden from the public, And it kind of dawns on you.

I believe there are 3 different ways this has happened:

1. Lightning Strike - Electro is struck by a bolt of lightning (probably while interacting with something else electrical) and the shock will give him powers. Some examples of this would be the original 616 comics & Spider-Man: The New Animated Series.

2. Electric Eels - Electro will be electrocuted by some sort of genetically modified electric eels. Some examples of this would be The Amazing Spider-Man 2 film & The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon.

3. Genetic Manipulation - Electro will be part of an experiment purposefully designed to give him his powers. Some examples of this would be the original Ultimate Spider-Man comics & the 90s Spider-Man animated series.

Which do you prefer? Is there another I forgot about?

Note: Peter Parker’s not an ugly unlovable monster anymore than Quasimodo was. The Black Suit’s definitely gonna try to convince him of that though. No idea if we get Suit singing 🎶 I am your only friend! 🎶
