Know Your DCU Marvel U: Spider-Man

Happy April 1st everyone! You may notice something… different here on DailyDCU.com today. Don’t fret, things should be back to normal tomorrow. We hope…

Anyways, Peter Parker was a teenage boy who was bit by a radioactive spider giving him amazing spider powers. Parker decided to use these powers to make a quick buck as a professional wrestler. Peter turned his back on stopping the wrestling manager from being robbed, but the robber ended up killing Pete’s Uncle Ben. Peter decided to honor his uncle and become a superhero, recalling the words of wisdom bestowed on him “with great power comes great responsibility”. Armed with a high school science fair blue ribbon, Peter enhanced his spider powers with mechanical web shooters, making him more spider-like.

Peter ended up dating Gwen Stacey. She died.

Parker fought some cool supervillains, fought some lame supervillains, went through a plethora of costume updates, quit being a superhero a dozen-or-so times, doubted himself a bunch, might be a clone of himself (ambiguous ending), made jokes during fights, sat sad in the rain, stopped the Juggernaut, fought in 2 Secret Wars (I think), joined an Avengers team, and revealed his identity (or didn’t).

Peter ended up marrying Mary Jane Watson. He forgot about it.

Currently Spider-Man is a member of the Fantastic Four Future Foundation.

Happy April Fools’ Day!!!
